As technology continues to advance, the use of computers and the Internet in educational environments has immensely increased. But just how effective has their use been in enhancing children's learning? In this thought-provoking book, Christina E. Erneling conducts a thorough investigation of scholarly journal articles on how computers and the Internet affect learning. She critiques the influentia

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det har blivit vanligt med beskrivningar av hur olika trender påverkar det sätt på vilket arbetslivet utformas. I första hand rör det sig om informationsteknikens inflytande inom i stort sett alla samhällsområden men det handlar också om en globaliserad ekonomi, ökad konkurrens, samt strävan efter högre kvalitet och större flexibilitet. Denna utveckling kan förstås som The study explores the interaction of general management ideas like TQM (here referred to as technocratic visions) and microprocesses of narrating and organizing in two different contexts: the public sector (health care) and the private sector (manufacturing) in Sweden. The purpose is to provide a better understanding of what happens when models of this type are introduced into a work organization

Popular Abstract in Swedish Modellering och krav för automation av gradningsprocessAn increasing number of robots have been used for the finishing of castings during recent years. This is mainly due to developments to overcome problems that restricted their use during the past decade. The major difficulties have been the need to control reaction forces during metal removing by grinding operations and the lack of tools designed specially for robots. The elimination of these two p

This chapter discusses the research project "Heteronormativity: An Interdisciplinary and Empirical Approach", funded by the Swedish Research Council in 2000-2005.

The paper deals with the structure-motion problem for uncalibrated cameras, in the case that subsidiary information is available, consisting, for example, in known coplanarities or parallelities among points in the scene, or known positions of some focal points (hand-eye calibration). Despite unknown camera calibrations, it is shown that in many instances the subsidiary information makes affine or

The aim of this article is to propose a syntactic analysis of a dialectal con- struction systematically displaying deletion of the subject, found in spoken south-west Swedish. The deletion appears in certain interrogative subordi- nated clauses and relative clauses, where standard Swedish requires a re- sumptive pronoun, which hence can be left out in the dialectal clause con- struction. The propo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Äldres vardagliga mobilitet är temat i denna avhandling. Den handlar dels om äldre personer i två bostadsområden i Malmö, dels om äldre personer som har blivit ensamma på äldre dar. Resultaten visar på olika sätt vikten av sociala nätverk och sociala relationer för att äldre personer ska kunna eller vilja ta sig ut om dagarna. Bostadsområdet för den första delstudien äThe overall aim of this thesis is to offer an understanding of everyday mobilities outdoors among older persons from a place- and context-dependent perspective. The emphasis is to take a gentle approach towards an overall perspective with consideration to physical aspects (like the home neighbourhood), social aspects (like social networks and social participation) and mental aspects (like place im

The empirical study analyses students’ use of studio conversations within the context of a Master of Fine Arts programme in visual arts in Sweden, showing how the students intentionally use the interaction in the studio conversations to access alternative options, to find out how others interpret their work, and to situate themselves in the professional art world. The study explores different ways

In editors for visual languages it is often useful to provide interactive feedback that depends on the static semantics of the edited program. In this paper we demonstrate how such feedback can be implemented using reference attribute grammars. Because the implementation is declarative, it is easy to modularize compiler and editor computations, reusing the compiler's program model in the editor. F

Efter Berlinmurens fall och postmodernismens genomslag inom vetenskapen talades det om klassbegreppets kris, eller rent av dess död. Utomlands fördes en livlig diskussion, men i Sverige var det jämförelsevis tyst. På senare år har det dock blivit på modet igen att beskriva samhället i klasstermer, såväl i den offentliga debatten som i litteraturen och populärkulturen. Det här är den första grundli

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under det senaste decenniet har utvecklingen i Sverige inneburit en ökad press på den kommunala sektorn vars roll och uppgifter i samhället har ifrågasatts. Ett återkommande ämne för debatt är betydelsen av politiskt inflytande i förhållande till behovet av effektiv produktion av offentlig service. I denna avhandling studeras vilka möjligheter en enskild kommunal försörThe aim of the study is to improve the understanding of strategy in politically governed organisations. From the perspective of a specific responsible authority the main purpose of the study is to describe and analyse how strategies emerge and develop. Competitive tendering and inter-municipal co-operation, has been studied as a two principally different strategic approaches to reduce costs and st
