The emergence of Critical Management Studies (CMS) reflects a growing body of scholars within the management research community who are recognised for their philosophical or theoretical work, as well as undertaking empirical research. The majority of published texts on research methods do not focus particularly on critical managementresearch, or if they do, they focus more on paradigms and perspec
This thesis presents two prime contributions. First, digital filters for both intermediate and base band filtering for mobile communication are presented. Second, a local clock for on-chip clock generation is introduced. The intermediate frequency filter is a digital alternative to today's analog filters. It is a narrow band filter designed for the American digital mobile telephone system accordin
Converting elemental mercury into divalent compound is one of the most important steps for mercury abatement from coal fired flue gas. The oxidation of elemental mercury was investigated in this paper using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) non-thermal plasma (NTP) technology at room temperature. Effects of different flue gas components like oxygen, moisture, HCl, NO and SO2 were investigated. Re
Pheromone communication systems have a reliable signal with a restricted window of amounts and ratios released and perceived. We propose a model based on a Gaussian response profile that allows a quantification of the response peak (location of optimum) and a measure of the peak width (response window). Interpreting the Gaussian curve, fitted by nonlinear regression (NLR), as a standard normal dis
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar problemet hur sensoriska kvaliteter (kvalia) förhåller sig till neurala tillstånd och processer (en modern variant av det klassiska kropp-själ problemet). I avhandlingen presenteras en serie argument som avser att göra det troligt att problemen att begripa medvetandets materiella bas bottnar i en serie missförstånd och felaktiga analogier. AvhandlThis thesis is about the problem of how sensory qualities relate to neural states or processes. I shall try to present an account of why dualism appears to be an attractive and intuitive position, but also point out why dualistic intuitions may be misleading. A relatively common view in philosophy of mind is that accounts of how sensory qualities relate to neural states and processes involve an ex
Popular Abstract in Swedish Omgivningens temperatur är kanske en av de faktorer som i allra störst utsträckning påverkar djur och deras livsmiljö. Detta bottnar givetvis till stor del i temperaturens effekt på naturen. Betänk till exempel årstidsväxlingarna; att vintern blir till vår, och att hösten (i samband med de första snöfallen) allt mer skrider mot ännu en kall och vit vinter bestäms och reTemperature is a property of profound matter in all aspects of animal life, affecting both individual energy budgets and the environments in which animals reside. Thus, a proper understanding of the effects of temperature variation is instrumental in understanding not only animal form and function, but also the structure and dynamics of wild populations. Accordingly, the aims of this thesis were t
Simulations of a cumulonimbus cloud observed in the Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers-Florida Area Cirrus Experiment (CRYSTAL-FACE) with an advanced version of the Explicit Microphysics Model (EMM) are presented. The EMM has size-resolved aerosols and predicts the time evolution of sizes, bulk densities and axial ratios of ice particles. Observations by multiple aircraft i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av tre delar. Den första, Från utbildningsmarknad till of-fentlig utbildning. Svensk flickskola 1874-1962, behandlar dels integrationen av flickornas sekundärutbildning i den offentliga utbildningsorganisationen, dels förstärkningen respektive försvagningen av denna speciellt genuskodade utbild-ning. Sekundärutbildningen har varit könssegregerad och
The deformation of a drop flowing along the centre streamline of a four-roll mill (4RM) has been investigated. The velocities and elongation rates along the centre streamline in the 4RM were measured using particle tracking velocimetry. The deformation and position of the deforming drops were photographed with a video camera. A dynamic, one-dimensional, analytical simulation model describing the d
Popular Abstract in Swedish De personer som ingår i undersökningen har gemensamt att de har erfarenheter av flera års avancerat narkotikamissbruk, varit drogfria i minst två år samt att de idag är socialt integrerade. Det faktum att de lyckats sluta missbruka narkotika och idag lever "vanliga liv" innebär att de tillhör en grupp som hitintills fått mycket liten uppmärksamhet av missbruksforskningeAim of the study, background, theory and method The two aims of this study are to describe and analyse: i) how drug abusers have transformed their lives from the time when they did not use drugs, to becoming drug abusers, and finally leaving drugs behind them; and ii) what it means to be socially integrated with one's experience of having been a drug abuser. The women and men who participated in
We present multiple-epoch radial-velocity observations for 104 stars in a field of the intermediate-age open cluster IC 4651 to . Only 13 stars (13%) of the full sample are field stars. From the 44 single member stars we find a mean radial velocity of , and the 12 single red-giant members yield a true radial-velocity dispersion of . Of the 19 giant members, 7 (37%) are spectroscopic binaries with
All words in Swedish have a particular melody. There are two tonal patterns that are observed in different prosodic and morphological contexts – accent 1 and accent 2. The tone of accent 1 is the default melody in Swedish and is said to be of intonational nature. The melody of accent 2, on the other hand, only occurs in presence of certain suffixes in the word, hence, accent 2 is claimed to be a p
Denna uppsats har sin utgångspunkt i sakförsäkringar tecknade av konsumenter, det vill säga försäkringar som syftar till att i händelse av sakskada utge en ekonomisk kompensation som försäkringsersättning. Försäkringsersättningen ska motsvara den ekonomiska förlust som drabbat konsumenten till följd av sakskadan och på så sätt försätta konsumenten i samma ekonomiska tillstånd som vid tidpunkten fThis thesis looks into property insurances signed by consumers, i.e., insurances aimed at providing financial compensation in the event of damage on personal property. The compensation shall correspond to the financial loss suffered by the consumer as a result of the damage and thus put the consumer in the same financial condition as before the damage occurred. To calculate the financial loss, th
Mitt huvudsyfte med denna uppsats är att förstå och redogöra för vad den svenska lagstiftningen ställer upp för krav på förvaltningsrätter gällande motiveringsskyldighet, språk och språkbehandling. Vidare är mitt syfte att undersöka om förvaltningsrätters domskrivningar är godtagbara sett från ett rättssäkerhets- och ett rättsstatsperspektiv, samt om de uppfyller klarspråkskravet och barnets rätt The main purpose of this essay is to understand and describe what requirements there are in Swedish legislation for administrative courts regarding the obligation to state reasons, language and use of language. Furthermore, the purpose is to research if the courts decisions are acceptable from a legal certainty and a state governed by the rule of law point of view, and also if they meet the requir
To reduce the costs and survive the challenges of migration, animals should flexibly respond to changing environmental conditions along the route. In long-distance migratory birds, available habitat can vary substantially and so individual flexibility is needed to optimally exploit foraging opportunities, particularly for species that have specialized diets. However, flexible behavioral responses Seabirds adjust their behavior to migrate over changing landscapes Tracking birds with GPS technology, like the one that lets us consult Google Maps in our phones, has given exciting insight into how they are able to fly thousands of kilometers in challenging conditions over oceans and deserts during migration. Yet there are many species with fascinating migratory strategies that have not been tr
Denna rapport innehåller en produktutvecklingsprocess som fokuserar på att integrera ett mjukstängningssystem för skjutdörrar i ett existerande skåp på IKEA. Enheten har idag vad som kallas för guider som håller skåpsdörrarna på plats. Målet är att skapa en enhet som besitter de viktigaste egenskaperna av en guide och av en mjukstängningsmekanism för att kunna ersätta den förstnämnda. Detta görs f
Sweden faces an upcoming period where thousands of buildings built during the million program period will be in need of a façade renovation. There is a large energy-saving potential in these buildings, since they are often poorly insulated and often have a ventilation system without heat recovery. Performing energy-efficient renovation measures to a building are expensive, which results in that th
This thesis processes the Swedish local authorities’ work regarding winter maintenance and its organization. This thesis is also about accessibility for those with functional disabilities and the local authorities’ efforts to provide an acceptable level of the accessibility during winter. The report aims to clarify how the local authorities carry out their work with regard to winter maintenance an
I denna uppsats analyseras om, och i så fall hur, domaren kan minska risken för s.k. systematiska tankefel vid bevisvärderingen i brottmål. Ett systematiskt tankefel är ett tankefel som vi människor tenderar att göra gång på gång och som uppkommer som en konsekvens av hur det mänskliga tänkandet är konstruerat. Det finns anledning att anta att dessa typer av tankefel också förekommer inom ramen föThis paper is concerned with cognitive biases in legal decision making. A bias is a systematic error in thinking which can be explained by the way the human mind is designed. There are reasons to believe that judges fall prey to biases and errors when they are confronted with evidence in Court. The author discusses whether it is possible for judges to avoid biases when they evaluate legal evidenc
