Negotiating love, law, and Islam in Swedish-Gambian marriages

This paper is concerned with love, law and Islam in marriages between Swedish women and Gambian Muslim men: encounters with religion, religiosity, Islam, Islamic traditions, notions of Swedish, Gambian and Islamic law, and cultural differences. The chapter draws on the particular experiences of a number of Swedish women living in Malmö, Sweden, and it is based on in-depth interviews with them. The

Civic duty, Stasi society or Petty revenge: citizen reporting on tax cheating neighbors in Sweden and Denmark

Both Sweden and Denmark have experienced an increase in the number of people informing the social and tax authorities that their neighbors are cheating on social benefits or earning illegal incomes through ‘black work’ (‘angiveri’ om social bedrageri eller sort arbejde). At the same time, many municipalities and the social and tax authorities have established hot lines or web portals where citizen

Fast Algorithms for Iterative Adaptive Approach Spectral Estimation Techniques

This paper presents computationally efficient implementations for Iterative Adaptive Approach (IAA) spectral estimation techniques for uniformly sampled data sets. By exploiting the methods inherent low displacement rank, together with the development of suitable Gohberg-Semencul representations, and the use of data dependent trigonometric polynomials, the proposed implementations are shown to off

Antenna currents for optimal Q, superdirectivity, and radiation patterns using convex optimization

The high Q-factor (low bandwidth) and low efficiency make the design of small antennas challenging. Here, convex optimization is used to determine current distributions that give upper bounds on the antenna performance. Optimization formulations for maximal gain Q-factor quotient, minimal Q-factor for superdirectivity, and minimum Q for given far-field are presented. The effects of antennas embedd

A method for efficient measurement-based COTS assessment and selection - Method description and evaluation results

The use of Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) software has become more and more important in state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice software and system development. The use of COTS software promises faster time-to-market, reduced development cost, increased productivity, and the possibility for companies to focus on their own core competencies. At the same time COTS software raises risks such as
