Understanding the relationship between concepts and experience seems necessary to specifying the content of experience, yet current theories of concepts do not seem up to the job. With Peter Gärdenfors's conceptual spaces theory as a foundation and with enactivist philosophy as inspiration, we present a proposed extension to conceptual spaces theory and use it to outline a model of the emergence o

Teamwork and project participation are essential skills for professional software engineers. To be able to give large groups of students adequate opportunities to learn such skills at a reasonable teaching cost, we have developed two courses that work in tandem: a team programming course taken by about 100 students, and a coaching course taken by about 20 students. In this paper, we describe our v

3-Substituted indoles and their analogues - hetero condensed pyrroles (hetero-indoles) - have been synthesised by two different palladium-catalysed reactions: a) A series of 2-silylated 3-substituted (hetero-)indoles have been prepared by palladium-catalysed coupling between o-iodo(het)arylamines and silyl substituted internal acetylenes. The outcome of the reaction was found to depend on the typ

Alamethicin is a membrane active peptide secreted from the soil-living fungus Trichoderma viride. When coexisting with T. Viride, plant roots are exposed to alamethicin, which has the ability to elicit formation of volatile compounds involved in pathogen defence. Alamethicin can make pores across membranes with a negative membrane potential, such as the plant plasma membrane. The alamethicin pores

The primary route to hydrogen production from fossil fuels involves the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction, and an improvement in the efficiency of WGS catalysts could therefore lead to a major leap forward in the realization of hydrogen economy. On the basis of a combination of high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calcula

This thesis addresses low-complexity algorithms in digital receivers. This includes algorithms for estimation, detection, and source coding.

This paper is built upon recognizing the need that digital forensic investigators are required in many cases to investigate, understand and report on all kind of cyber-crime including novel security breaches which have not been performed in the past. When an investigator is faced with the challenge to explore a new threat, we argue that the inquiry dynamics do not differ from an organisational emp

The multidrug regimen, cyclosporine, corticosteroids, and azathioprine, is used in transplantation centres to prevent organ rejection. Several clinical studies have shown that cyclosporine and corticosteroids to cause increases in low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, with subsequent development of atherosclerosis. The overall objective of the studies upon which this thesis is based was to in

The subject of the dissertation is the influence of shorter working days on welfare. The focus is the reduction of paid daily working hours as an instrument for better working conditions and a better life. The empirical study is based on a hospital where working hours have been reduced in four wards by one hour a day in three of the geriatric nursing departments. The aim of the dissertation was t
