The title: Forum für Sprachlose (Forum for the Speechless) indicates the overall objective of this investigation. An attempt is being made to provide a defence for the accused recipients and designated opponents of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. In order to accomplish this objec-tive, I have chosen to engage in a variety of methodological procedures. Having identified, throughout the history of t

Recent studies have shown that ability to recognize an imitated voice is affected by topic and familiarity with the person being imitated. The signal detection methods used in those studies give no specific information about the distribution of non matching positive responses (false alarms) amongst voices used as distracters (foils). This paper shows that there was a selective listener preference

Autoignition of a homogeneous mixture is very sensitiveto operating conditions. Therefore fast combustion phasingcontrol is necessary for reliable operation. There areseveral means to control the combustion phasing of a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine.This paper presents cycle-to-cycle cylinder individual controlresults from a six-cylinder HCCI engine using a VariableValve Ac

Our purpose in this paper is to discuss Swedish nature in a specific context, namely that of ecotourism. The wider framework is the concept of cultural economy in relation to nature. Nature is culturally constructed – given meaning – by the actual doings of e.g. ecotourism operators, and this meaning is transformed into cash flows through tourist practices. It is this cultural construction of natu

Olika typer av miljösimulering behandlas under rubrikerna: Kartor; Jämförelser av (konventionella arkitektoniska) simuleringstekniker; Analoga (fotografiska) bilder; Digitaliserade (datoriserade) miljösimuleringar samt Fullskalesimuleringar.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on the working postures and movements of a cashier when two different locations of the scales (one to the left of the cashier, the other under the conveyer belt in front of the cashier) were used in a grocery checkout system. Two cashiers (of average stature and short stature) were videotaped while working, in both sitting and standing working posi

What is normally described as bias? A possible definition comprises attempts to distort or mislead to achieve a certain perspective, i.e. subjective descriptions intended to mislead. If designers were able to exclude bias from informing systems, then this would maximize their effectiveness. This implicit conjecture appears to underpin much of the research in our field. However, in our efforts to s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur lever man ett avskilt liv i dagens moderna värld? Kan man bevara en distinkt religiös och kulturell identitet i en omgivning som propagerar för pluralism och öppenhet? Integritet och avskildhet från det omgivande samhället är viktiga inslag i charedims (ultraortodoxa judars) kulturella identitet. Att argumentera för dessa värden är lätt, att praktiskt konkretisera The dissertation focuses on the Haredi (ultra-orthodox Jewish) journal The Jewish Observer, published since 1963 by Agudath Israel of America, suggesting that the publisher uses the journal as an instrument to help the readers to maintain a distinct Haredi identity in urban, non-Haredi environments and not only in their own, isolated milieu. The articles of the journal are understood as resources,

Numerical experiments, constituting of 90 simulations in FDS, were used in this paper for two purposes. Firstly an evaluation of previously derived correlations for ceiling jet excess temperatures and velocities was performed. Secondly the numerical experiments were used to demonstrate how computer simulations could be used as a complement to actual fire experiments in fire science research. The

The paper is exploring a role of memory in the formation of cultural identity in the circumstances of migration. In particular, the attention is directed towards ritual practices and the role of such collective actions for reinforcing the ontological questions about selfhood, belonging to a group and identity of the immigrants. It will be put forward that the proper conduct of funerary practices s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom vetenskapen finns det många exempel på nätverk av ett stort antal samverkande delar. Det kan vara aktiviteten i en levande cell, myror i en myrstack eller djur i ett ekosystem. Slumpmässiga booleska nätverk, som är ämnet för denna avhandling, är ytterligare ett exempel. Dessa nätverk är matematiska konstruktioner som är förhållandevis lätta att undersöka med hjälp There are many examples of complex networks in science. It can be genetic regulation in living cells, computers on the Internet, or social and economic networks. In this context, Boolean networks provide simplistic models that are relatively easy to handle using computer simulations and mathematical methods. A good understanding of Boolean networks may form a foundation to investigations of more c
