We have studied if there is a possible link between states’ membership in intergovernmental organizations and a desire to participate in democratization processes in our chosen analytical objects Estonia and Belarus. We analysed our empirical findings by categorizing the membership of each countries membership in IGOs. By comparing what organization each country is a part of and which ones they ha

The aim of this study has been to explore social workers negotiations and meaning making on heterosexual norms, in order to understand possibilities on how to change these norms within the social services. The study consists of material from two different municipalities which both has participated in a project on heterosexual norms. Both municipalities have had a group of seven people discussing i

There exists an increasing demand for cost and time efficient cutting tests for describing the performance of different combinations of cutting tools and workpiece materials in the cutting process both in industry and academia. Cutting tools are expected to withstand the heat and the pressure developed during the machining of difficult to machine materials such as Ti6Al4V. This article introduces

This paper presents a 3rd-order, 3-bit continuous-time (CT) \Updelta\Upsigma Δ Σ modulator for an LTE radio receiver. A return-to-zero (RZ) pulse, centered in the sampling period by a quadrature clock, is used in the innermost DAC to reduce the sensitivity to loop-delay variations in the modulator, and omit implementing the additional loop delay compensation usually needed in CT modulators. The pe

Playing digital games is now a common everyday practice in many homes. This paper deals with the constitution of such practices by taking a closer look at the material objects essential to play and their role in the “design of everyday life” (Shove et al 2007). It uses ethnographic method and anthropological practice theory to attend to the domestic spaces of leisure and play, the home environment

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka diskrimineringslagens användbarhet utifrån den enskildes perspektiv, med utgångspunkt i den enskildes upplevelse av diskriminering samt den enskildes behov i och av en diskrimineringstvist. Bakgrunden är en enkätundersökning om diskriminering mot underläkare gjord av SYLF, Sveriges yngre läkares förening, som visar att majoriteten av de som upplevt disThe purpose of this essay is to examine the availability of the Swedish Discrimination Act from the perspective of the individual, based on the individual’s experience of discrimination and the individual’s needs in a discrimination dispute. The background to the examination is a survey on discrimination towards junior doctors made by SYLF, Sveriges yngre läkares förening. The survey shows that a

In recent years, Iceland has experienced a growing demand for residential housing and the average square-meter price for apartments and single-family homes in the Capital Region has almost doubled between 2010 and 2019. Property sales in Iceland are most commonly intermediated by real estate brokers and the sales process stands in contrast to other Nordic countries, since it involves a bidding pro

Popular Abstract in Swedish See attachment in related materialThe combustion engine is today the dominant technology for transportation of goods and people world-wide. Concerns for global warming, toxic exhaust emissions, as well as cost and availability of fuel have in recent years created incentives for technological evolution of combustion engines. More sophisticated engine instrumentation with additional degrees of freedom has been added to the engine de

Climatic conditions during the winter in countries situated in the north can be considered severe. This is especially true for hydraulic structures, such as hydro power structures, dams, harbours, canals and some bridge foundations. Freezing of concrete in contact with unfrozen fresh water may have a considerable impact on the deterioration process of concrete. This paper presents results obtained

This text deals with a problem concerning processes of the productive power of knowledge. We draw on so called poststructural theories challenging the classical image of thought – as hinged upon a representational logic identifying entities in a rigid sense – when formulating a problem concerning the gap between knowledge and the object of knowledge. More specifically we are looking at this proble

Globalization pressures have today inflicted significant changes in the way industrial enterprises are organized and how products are developed, manufactured and brought to market. A common denominator in many of these enterprises is the utilization of an organizational structure based on networks composed of divisions and supplier companies dispersed all over the world. ln these global enterprise

During the last decades the need to control the paper production process has grown, due to the technological development and the continuing increases in quality demands. Recent development of sensors and fast, high-capacity computers open up new possibilities for the development of high capacity monitoring systems for the paper industry. Optical methods have advantages for performing fast and high

Civil society leadership training programmes are a new phenomenon, and they are often overlooked by civil society scholarship despite being linked to the professionalisation of the sector. In this article, we examine 14 Swedish leadership programmes in order to identify leadership ideals in the sector. Drawing on the notion of ‘symbolic boundaries’, we argue that leadership programmes produce hori

The introduction of total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) testing in serum has revolutionized the detection and management of men with prostate cancer. This review will highlight some of the exciting new developments in the field of prostate cancer screening in general and from our SPORE research program at Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. First, it is important to understand that the inhe

Recent research has revealed that interdisciplinary work combining archaeological and heritage practice continues to be limited by enduring assumptions separating the two fields. Traditional structures and institutional barriers make it difficult to break away from what is expected in order to explore what is possible in what archaeologists and heritage practitioners ‘do’. Though archaeologists pl

This work presents a digital calibration technique in continuous-time (CT) ΔΣ analog to digital (A/D) converters. The converter is clocked at 144MHz with a low oversampling ratio (OSR) of only 8. Dynamic element matching (DEM) is not efficient to linearize the digital to analog converter (DAC) when the OSR is very low. Therefore, non-idealities in the outermost multi-bit feedback DAC are measured

Chronic neural interfaces that are able to record or stimulate neurons in the CNS are valuable instruments in use today and they hold great promise for the future both within neuroscience research and in the clinic. However, a major obstacle is that they show a decline in performance over time. Many different approaches to improve the interface designs are gradually evaluated in hope of overcoming
