The academic discourse on the need for a shared political public sphere at the level of the European Union has in recent years produced the conventional wisdom that such an emerging transnational community of communication is already observable in the mass media. However, the empirical indicators on which this notion is based tend to accommodate parallel national public spheres rather than a genui

The European solar energy business faces the challenge of developing more cost-effective solar energy systems and one solution could be using concentrating hybrid PVT systems. Two such hybrids, the Swedish systems MaReCo and Solar8, are evaluated in this study. MaReCo is a fixed concentrating system with a high angle of acceptance. Solar8 is a new system, which is under development. It is inspired
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgörs av en detaljerad studie av ett enskilt antikt byggnadsverk – Caecilia Metellas mausoleum. Detta gravmonument tillhörde en högättad romersk kvinna och är beläget intill Via Appia strax utanför Rom. Byggnaden utmärker sig bland annat genom sin storlek, men också genom sin högst ovanliga arkitektoniska utformning. Syftet med studien är att söka förstå dThe present thesis constitutes a close study of a single architectural monument, the tomb of Caecilia Metella.

Focusing new teacher students has at least two different implications. The students are new in the meaning of being first term students. Analyses of the recruitment to teacher education show that the new students have other social characteristics than before. During the last two decades fewer students from academic families and fewer students with high degrees from upper secondary school have ent
Forskningsrapporten är en studie av den förhandlande subnationella regionen med Skåne som empirisk fallstudie. Den utforskar betydelsen av förhandlingsmakt i regionaliseringsprocessen genom att göra tre antaganden: 1) Förhandlingar utgör ett centralt inslag i västeuropeisk regionalisering. 2) Förhållandet mellan stat och region kan beskrivas som ett asymmetriskt beroende, liknande det mellan stark
Since the early 1990s, we have witnessed how the system of asylum law reacts to the relativization of the nation-state in the global domain. The growing emphasis on cultural aspects in the conceptualization of "being persecuted" has stressed the dimension of positive obligations. This emphasis has widened the discretionary margin of decision makers. The substantive vacuum at the "human rights core
This paper presents a novel application which implements a way of adding sound breadcrumbs to the environment. We report results from initial user tests which suggest that this type of design could be useful for a wide range of mobile location based applications.
The matter of who appropriates the economic value created by a firm’s resources and capabilities has remained largely unresolved in strategic management. The aim of the paper is to highlight some of the shortcomings of established strategic management theory in explaining value appropriation, outline key examples of value appropriation mechanisms, and empirically illustrate the link between these
