New Public Management (NPM) was the catch phrase of the reforms in the public research and higher education sector for the last decades. The postulated effect of the NPM reforms is increased efficiency in governmental resource spending on the public higher education and research institutions. Though backed by theoretical considerations, this hypothesis has hardly been tested empirically. Using a u

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling riktar sig till läsare som har ett särskilt intresse i de baltiska staterna såväl som i demokratiseringsfrågor, postkommunism och medborgarskap. Författaren analyserar utvecklingen av medborgarskap i de baltiska länderna under sovjettiden samt sedan återupprättandet av självständigheten 1990. Teoretiskt vilar analysen på en kritisk granskning av de tre This book speaks to readers with a particular interest in the Baltic states as well as to those with a broader interest in post-communist democratization and citizenship. The notion of citizenship has not been prominent in academic perspectives on post-communism. This study aims at bringing citizenship back into these perspectives. Starting from the idea that citizenship is both a condition of de

Popular Abstract in English Enzymes are nanometer sized work units made up of proteins. Each of the thousands of the existing enzymes are produced by the cells of every living organism. They carry out certain functions as putting molecules together, e. g. connect sugar units to form cellulose for a growing tree or destroy molecules, e. g. degrade cellulose into its sugar units to eat and live on tCellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is a sugar oxidizing enzyme secreted by various species of wood degrading fungi to assist the process of wood degradation. It can oxidise analytically relevant sugars as cellobiose, lactose or glucose leading to a gain of two electrons per sugar molecule. CDH consists of a flavin containing catalytic domain (DH) and a haem containing electron mediating domain (CYT).

Recent evidence challenges the widely held view that the hippocampus is specialized for episodic memory, by demonstrating that it also underpins the integration of information across experiences. Contemporary computational theories propose that these two contrasting functions can be accomplished by big-loop recurrence, whereby the output of the system is recirculated back into the hippocampus. We

Why did France experience the demographic transition first? This question remains one of the greatest puzzles of economics, demography, and economic history. The French pattern is hard to reconcile with elucidations of the process as found in other countries. The present analysis goes back to the roots of the process and offers novel ways of explaining why people started to control their fertility

It is commonly assumed that the speech production process is started and guided by a clear conception of what to say, i.e. an intention or a pre-linguistic message. This intention can also function as a standard of accuracy against which actual performance can be measured. But critique against the idea of such a centrally governed process has been offered, and propositions for how a distributed mo

This thesis is about television formats and the main question if there is a need for a stronger protection than today. My reason to write about the television format that it combines two interesting areas of knowledge. The mix of media- communications and the law. It is also a question of practical aspects, what does the television business want and the theoretical side of it, what can be with law

This article concerns a field study about the use of non-invasive manual lighting and shading control to save energy in listed buildings. The system was chosen to limit cabling and masonry work. The test room consists of an individual office located in a historical building in Southern Italy. The room was retrofitted with two roller shades (semi-transparent and blackout) and six LED-based pendants

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) possess a conserved mobile catalytic loop, the WPD-loop, which brings an aspartic acid into the active site where it acts as an acid/base catalyst. Prior experimental and computational studies, focused on the human enzyme PTP1B and the PTP from Yersinia pestis, YopH, suggested that loop conformational dynamics are important in regulating both catalysis and evol

Väpnade konflikter och andra oroligheter i världen har lett till att många människor flyr sina hemländer och söker trygghet i något annat land. Många försöker ta sig till Europa. I brist på lagliga vägar tar många irreguljära vägar som ofta medför stora risker. Det vanligaste sättet är att korsa Medelhavet. De flesta båtfärder börjar i Turkiet med mål att ta sig till någon av de grekiska öarna. EUArmed conflicts and other forms of violence has led to an increasing number of people leaving their home countries in search of safety elsewhere. Many try to get to Europe. In the absence of legal ways many people take irregular routes which usually involve high risks. Crossing the Mediterranean is the most common route. Most boats have Turkey as their starting point with the goal to reach one of

This report is a study on placement of accelerometers in a rolling missile. A Kalman filter is used for estimation of some states of the rolling missile. The rolling angle is assumed to be known. The states are fed back to give the missile desired dynamics. Reference signals in the form of desired accelerations are also introduced.

The report shows that one transverse measuring accelerome

According to Disney, “In Tomorrowland, the future is today!” In 2015 Brad Bird’s eco-science fiction film, Tomorrowland: A World Beyond, was released to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the opening of the futuristic theme park land. The film was described as a “a gorgeous, flawed utopia” but flopped at the box office. The Disneyfication of climate crisis for commercial purpose serves as a veh

The igniting spark to this project was my aching back as I saw a fellow student standing by her height adjustable desk. I thought It would be great to be able to adjust my working position as well, however I already own a vintage desk that I want to keep. This made me think, could I create a solution that gives my desk, as well as most of all other analouge desks, the function of height adjustabil

The average build year for existing multi-family buildings in Sweden is1959, circa 95 % of building built before 1960 uses natural ventilation and circa 45 % of these have failed the obligatory ventilation control that exists in Sweden. In the EU buildings stand for 30 % of the total energy usage and the aim is to get buildings to a near zero energy building. The aim of this thesis is therefore to
