We present genetIC, a new code for generating initial conditions for cosmological N-body simulations. The code allows precise, user-specified alterations to be made to arbitrary regions of the simulation (while maintaining consistency with the statistical ensemble). These "genetic modifications"allow, for example, the history, mass, or environment of a target halo to be altered in order to study t

In 1553-1554 one Pieter Bruegel purchased a corrody in Sint-Janshuis, a retirement home for former employees of the Marquises of Bergen, where he would receive necessities of life and a place to stay until he would pass away. The paper reconstructs the early financial history of the retirement home, demonstrating how it was unable to cope with inflation, and struggled to provide for the inmates. I

Nowadays, many industries are investing a lot of resources in the development of new technologies that interpret hand gestures and use them as a communication interface between the user and the system. However, the surveillance industries have remained on the sidelines of this technological development. Instead, the joystick and the mouse are the most common devices found in control rooms. Using t

The present article reports results from tests performed to investigate different designs of a scrolling function used to make it possible for the user to navigate a virtual environment larger than the limited workspace of the haptic device. A preliminary

Global warming is one of the major threats to humans and ecosystems, especially in already fragile areas like that of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, India. People living there depend on rainwater for the every day life. This study aimed at investigating whether the there will be any influence on the existing rainwater harvesting structures in the future due to climate change and examining the adapt

The spiny dendrites of striatal projection neurons integrate synaptic inputs of different origins to regulate movement. It has long been known that these dendrites lose spines and display atrophic features in Parkinson's disease (PD), but the significance of these morphological changes has remained unknown. Some recent studies reveal a remarkable structural plasticity of striatal spines in parkins

Kursen bygger på ett studium av enklare dialoger och texter på ukrainska med elementär vokabulär och grundläggande grammatik. Särskild vikt läggs vid den kommunikativa färdigheten. Den studerande övas i muntliga och skriftliga språkfärdigheter med övningar i hörförståelse, läsning, skrivande och konversation. Kursen ges på distans med stöd av den nätbaserade lärplattformen Canvas. Kursen innehållThe course is based on the study of simple dialogues and texts in Ukrainian using basic vocabulary and grammar. Strong emphasis is placed on communication skills. The student practices oral and written language skills in exercises for listening comprehension, reading, writing and conversation.

Kursen behandlar de kulturella sammanhang där de europeiska filmerna framträder.  Filmfestivalerna, som blivit fler och viktigare än någonsin, presenteras, liksom filmkritiken och det övriga offentliga samtalet om rörliga bilder. Kursen innehåller också moment som tar upp filmens relation till samhället. De politiska och ekonomiska villkor som präglat filmhistorien diskuteras. Kursens utformFilm Culture: Festivals, Criticism, Society. European films are screened, promoted and discussed within a broad variety of cultural contexts. In this course, the focus lies on contemporary film culture, particularly foregrounding two topical areas. On the one hand, the growing importance of film festivals. On the other hand, the evolving forms and arenas for criticism and public conversations abo

Folkförflyttningar, migration och flykt har tidvis varit mycket märkbart i Europa, och hur dessa historiska villkor skildrats i film och TV är den ena tyngdpunkten i denna kurs. Den andra tyngdpunkten är hur migrationen påverkat själva filmproduktionen, hur filmarbetare flytt från sina hemländer och hur filmproduktioner rört sig transnationellt. Begrepp som exilfilm och diasporafilm får här stort Migration is and has been, a significant influence on European cultures and societies. This course acknowledges this from two main perspectives. On the one hand, how conditions of migration have been represented in film and television – in different national and historical contexts. On the other hand, how migration has affected film production itself, not least regarding how film workers have move
