Artikeln uppmärksammar ett fenomen som långsamt vinner terräng och den bygger på en genomgång av ett stort antal ansökningar om tillstånd att sprida askan efter kremerad anhörig samt på intervjuer med anhöriga om olika aspekter av detta förfaringssätt. I artikeln diskuteras om askspridning kan ses som en senmodern rit bestämd av en immanent och individualiserad syn på döden.

In this report we are presenting two decoding algorithms for binary variable-length codes, based on a look-up table approach. This type of algorithms are familiar to software designers, but the authors have not been able to find any scientific material, where the decoding speed is analysed. The algorithms will decode one or several source symbols for each cycle of the algorithm. The look-up table

The HST has provided visual images of the universe of unprecedented clarity and sensitivity. It is less widely known that the HST/GHRS has provided equally breathtaking views of a different kind Of "universe" - a "spectroscopic universe". Nowhere is this better seen than in the extraordinarily complex and beautiful ultraviolet spectrum of the ultra-sharp-lined, non-magnetic, chemically peculiar (C

Dagligen nås vi av nyheter om olika kriser: ekonomiska kriser, långdragna konflikter, länder som hamnat i förhandlingskriser, kändisar som intervjuas om sina senaste kriser mitt i livet, politiska ledare som handlat tvivelaktigt och försatt sitt parti eller sitt land i kris. Det kan upplevas som om vi idag befinner oss mitt i krisernas tid. Det korta 1900-talet vittnar också om krisernas ständiga

“The Future is distributed: a vision of sustainable economies” is a collection of case studies on distributed economies, a concept describing sustainable alternatives to the existing business models.

This doctoral thesis takes as a starting point that geographical location remains fundamental to gain competitive advantage for some types of firms and activities even though economic activity in general has become more global. The region is seen as the key level in which the innovative capability of firms is shaped, coordinated and governed. This is in line with the regional innovation systems (R
