Although code-switching has attracted a considerable amount of attention for quite some time, the issue of linguistic switch in foreign language teaching has not been a major subject of scientific study. Using a qualitative approach to individual examples of linguistic switch among three second language teachers of French in Sweden, this article, although highly preliminary, attempts to highlight

Students completing a Swedish Master’s degree in engineering should have knowledge and skills to independently solve engineering issues. This autonomy should be developed and demonstrated within the M.Sc. project course. But, how can supervisors encourage independence? We have explored this in a case study through semi-structured interviews with students, supervisors and examiners of two M.Sc. pro

This paper describes the active damping of a flexible beamconnected to the end-effector of a robot manipulator. An observer-basedfeedback controller is developed and experimental results arepresented. Iterative feedback tuning (IFT) is applied to shape the step response.

Recycling wood ash from burnt wood (back to the forest grounds) is of great ecological importance. However, the ash cannot be recycled directly after combustion. There are several reasons for this, one being the volatility of wood ashes. Mixing ash/dolomite/water in order to obtain granular material is one method to stabilize wood ashes. The main problem is predicting the quantity of water to be a

The majority of the large hydro power plants in Sweden were built 1935 - 1975 and are located in a cold climate in the northern parts of Sweden. Since the power plants were designed for a service life of 50-100 years, some of them are soon to reach their estimated service life and some have already passed it. During a condition assessment to determine the status of the Porsi hydro power plant, con

Abstract in Undetermined I detta paper analyserar jag maskuliniteter i relation till den internationella humanitärättens (IHL) materiella innehåll som sådant samt i relation till ICRC:s tolkning och framställning av IHL i filmen ”International humanitarian law: A universal code”. Analysen utgår från Connells Masculinities, Pettmans Worlding Women, samt antar ett intersektionellt perspektiv i analy

Algorithmic issues for the two thermodynamically consistent viscoplastic formulations of Perzyna and Duvaut–Lions are discussed. It is shown that it is simple to avoid the numerical problems associated with a small relaxation time without resorting to elaborate perturbation techniques, as suggested in the literature. A systematic numerical investigation of the efficiency of Newton iterations, that
