Naturen för mig. Nutida röster och kulturella perspektiv är en bok som behandlar människors vardagliga förhållningssätt till naturen i vår egen tid. Boken handlar om naturen utifrån kulturvetenskapliga perspektiv och sätter människan i centrum. De erfarenheter, tankar och berättelser som boken bygger på, vittnar om att detta ämne för många är stort och svårgripbart. Till stor del bygger boken på

Though the composition of the populace of industrial nations has changed dramatically since the 1950s, public discourse and scholarship, however, often remain welded to traditional concepts of national cultures, ignoring the multicultural realities of most of today's western societies. Through detailed studies, this volume shows how the diversity affects the personal lives of individuals, how it s

The principles of statutory interpretation of the Supreme Administrative Court and development trends in this area are described. These trends are then examined in relation to th

We consider the problem of link capacity dimensioning and routing optimization in networks that support elastic flows and maintain proportional fairness among these flows. We assume that each demand between the origin-destination (O-D) pairs is associated with a minimum and a maximum bandwidth requirement and that a certain allocated bandwidth to a user demand (which must be between these minimum

This thesis explores the effects of institutional arrangements for innovation in clusters. Clusters have become one of the most popular concepts in innovation policy studies in recent years. They have been ascribed as places with structures that reduce transaction costs, and enable innovation processes due to the prevalence of different types of externalities. The focus of this dissertation is on

This thesis highlights the research and development of a new plastic-scintillator detector for time-of-flight measurements in relativistic heavy-ion beam experiments. The detector makes possible the identification of different ion species on flight distances as short as a few meters. The novelty lies in the design approach of using many moderately fast, independent measurements of every physical e

Popular Abstract in Swedish Om man betraktar ljuset fran en varm gas ser man att det har en viss färg som är beroende gasens kemiska sammansättning.

We present laboratory instruments, techniques and tools for acquisition of the data required to derive important atomic parameters such as, wavelengths, oscillator strengths and line profiles. In this thesis new atomic data for advancement of stellar atmosphere analysis are pre
