Popular Abstract in English The present thesis investigates ways in which motion is described in Xenophon’s Anabasis, written in the 2nd part of the third century BC. The Anabasis tells the story of the Ten Thousand – the Greek soldiers who marched from Sardis to Babylon, and from there back to the Greek coast of the Black Sea – covering a great variety of motion events. The study examines passageThe thesis compares different prepositions and verbal prefixes denoting direction in Ancient Greek. The corpus covers passages in Xenophon’s Anabasis where such directional elements are used. In this work, it has been examined how the usage of prepositions differs from that of prefixes when they denote a concrete motion in space, what reasons lie behind their usage, and how various directional ele

For combinatorial optimization problems that can be formulated as Ising or Potts spin systems, the Mean Field (MF) approximation yields a versatile and simple ANN heuristic, Deterministic Annealing. For problems involving assignments (or permutations), the situation is more complex -- the natural analog of the MF approximation lacks the simplicity present in the Potts and Ising cases. In this arti

Contractors who start building based on incomplete documents will always require many costly solutions. The cost to correct mistakes in the beginning of the project is less than the cost to correct mistakes at the end of the project when the admission takes over. Factors that contribute to these large costs are in the planning stage, when transferring information and lack of communication.

Children and the transmission of religious identity to the next generation are matters of great concern in the Muslims European minorities. As a response to the challenge of cultural pluralism, a new brand of Islamic children’s literature has emerged. Based on examples of such literature, this paper argues that childhood discourse not only expresses heartfelt Muslim concerns. In the wake of migrat

The invention of computers revolutionized the way of doing science and in particular the field of mathematics. Computers were faster than any human mind in doing calculations and they did not make mistakes opening a wide range of possibilities that earlier where in practice uncomputable. Scientists observe the behavior of nature and find mathematical equations that model the different phenomena. IThe efficient simulation of thermal interaction between fluids and structures is crucial in the design of many industrial products, e.g. turbine blades or rocket nozzles. The main goal of this work is to present a high order time adaptive multirate parallel partitioned coupled method for the efficient numerical solution of two parabolic problems with strong jumps in the material coefficients that

With today’s advancements in camera technology, image-stabilization is a crucial element for capturing sharp and steady images and video. Nowadays, cameras usually have built-in stabilizers that perform well in this task. In some cases, however, an additional stabilizer may be required to achieve optimal results. In such circumstances, electronically controlled gimbals are a popular choice when it

"Principal Components Regression" (PCREG), also sometimes called "biased regression methods" is used to model data with highly correlated explanatory variables. This well-known method has been discussed by multiple previous authors (Marquardt 1970, Hoerl and Kennard 1970, Lott 1973, Hawkins 1973, Webster, Grace and Mason 1974, Hoerl, Kennard and Baldwin 1975, Marquardt and Snee

The concept of service user and other related concepts such as service user participation, service user influence and service user perspective have in recent decades gained increased importance in discussions about the development of social work practice, research and education. However, when these concepts are used, there is sometimes a lack of a well-thought-trough reflection on what is meant. W

This thesis explores how intrapreneurs can be recognized as insider threats. Nine different perspectives are presented, including deviant intrapreneurs, threatened and threatening resources, and subcultures on the tactical/operative level. Intrapreneurs are employees who use their entrepreneurial spirit for the benefit of their organizations. Insider threats are people who, through authorized acce

Innovation is considered one of the most important drivers for economic growth but measuring innovation is complex and abstract. To measure innovation, it is common to use proxies such as patent and R&D expenditure. How good of a measure is patents when it comes to explaining economic growth? Patents have faced a lot of critique when being used as a proxy for innovation, quality adjustment for

The independence of the judiciary is challenged in several ways. One is the populist narrative of the judges as elitist, another is artificial intelligence being introduced into judicial evaluation. The traditional ideal of positivistic objectivity underpins both these narratives, even though research has shown that emotions are a crucial part of rational decision making. By scrutinising legal dec

Many spatial audio applications, including active noise control, virtual reality, and the generation of individual sound zones, rely on an understanding of acoustic propagation. In room acoustics, which is the focus of this thesis,the sound field generated by a point source is typically modelled as a linear time-invariant system, described by its room impulse response (RIR). The RIR captures the r
