Walking and cycling are considered sustainable transport modes, promoted as a means to reduce car traffic. In the scientific literature, they have mostly been investigated separately, but should be considered jointly to enable a modal shift. Both daytime and dark conditions need to be studied, to improve understanding of how environmental features are affected by temporal variation. A conceptual m

Homelessness as a political and social dominion has a number of features that make it particularly difficult to tackle. In addition to being a wicked problem, homelessness offers several analytical avenues. How do these characteristics affect the evaluation of programmes and projects aspiring to combat homelessness? Dissimilar pictures and solutions regarding homelessness in the US and in European

Vi kommer i denna uppsats försöka svara på om jämställdhet ökar demokratin i besluts-fattande församlingar. I denna uppsats har vi valt att jämföra Sveriges regering med EU- kommissionen. Arbetet med att skapa en jämn könsfördelning på politiskt beslutsfattande nivå, tog på allvar fart i Sverige 1993 på socialdemokraternas partikongress. Då röstades förslaget igenom att varannan valbar kandidat t

This paper focuses on the cessation of the Angolan refugees in Zambia and South Africa. The paper aims to identify the problems concerning the cessation for a group of ref-ugees and will show that even thought the group as a whole might not have reason to fear for their life, there could be individuals within the group who have. Furthermore, the essay alerts how arbitrary the process to get an alt

Som underlag för ett internationellt forskningssamarbete kring Paracaskulturen har Statens Museer för Världskultur givit mig i uppdrag att sammanställa en samlingshistorisk utredning av de svenska Paracassamlingarna. Utredningen skall sätta de samlingar som staden Göteborg äger (och som myndigheten förvaltar) samt statens egna samlingar i en historisk kontext och i förhållande till andra motsvaran

Shot over an eight-year period, Outcry and Whisper presents itself as a political manifesto for the resistance of women, be they workers, artists, intellectuals or militants, in Chinese and Hong Kong society. Their accounts shine a light on a ferocious battle for independence.

The continuous and on-going enclosure of the commons has been identified as critical for the expansion of capitalism, through processes of dispossession, expropriation and commodification. In the light of the rapid erosion of our cultural and environmental common pool resources, the concept of the commons is increasingly gaining interest, since it presents new political and cultural perspectives a

Kursen behandlar följande områden: Ljusutbredning i anisotropa material Akusto-optiska effekter och modulatorer Elektro-optiska effekter och modulatorer Icke-linjär växelverkan mellan ljus och materia Ultrasnabb optik, utbredning av korta laserpulser i dispersiva icke-linjära media Grundläggande lasersäkerhet This course provides both theoretical and hands on experience of lasers and non-linear optics. It goes from the basics to the research front within some aspects of the physics of lasers. The students will be exposed to lasers providing ultrashort pulses, non-linear crystals and light modulators. The course includes the following subjects: Light propagation in anisotropic materials Acusto-op

Kursen består av två (dock inte fristående) delar. I det första momentet kommer vi att inrikta oss mot optionsteori i diskret tid. Avsikten är att snabbt och enkelt definiera vissa nyckelord som arbitragefrihet och kompletthet, samt martingaler och martingalmått. Vi kommer att använda trädstrukturer för att modellera tidsutveckling för aktiekurser och informationsflöden. Under det andra momentet The course consists of two related parts. In the first part we will look at option theory in discrete time. The purpose is to quickly introduce fundamental concepts of financial markets such as free of arbitrage and completeness as well as martingales and martingale measures. We will use tree structures to model time dynamics of stock prices and information flows. In the second part we will study

I denna kurs studerar vi hur kristendom och islam historiskt påverkat statsmakten, och hur de påverkar dagens politik. Vi undersöker vilka utmaningar som religiösa minoriteter står inför och varför interreligiösa relationer leder till både konflikt och samverkan. Samspelet mellan religion och etnicitet, samt religionens roll i att utmana eller förstärka rasism, är ytterligare teman som undersöks. In this course, we study how Christianity and Islam have historically influenced state power, and how they influence contemporary politics. We examine the challenges faced by religious minorities and why interreligious relations lead to both conflict and co-operation. The interplay between religion and ethnicity, and the role of religion in challenging or reinforcing racism, are further themes exp

Kursen består av en introducerande översikt av kunskapen inom områdena medvetande och förändrade medvetandetillstånd. Förändrade medvetandetillstånds relation till parapsykologiska fenomen som extrasensorisk perception (ESP) och psykokinesi (PK) behandlas, inkluderande en översikt av parapsykologisk forskning. Under kursen betonas frågeställningar som kräver fortsatt forskning. Observera att underThe course consists of an overview of the scientific and philosophical literature on three interconnected topics: the nature of conscious and unconscious processes including different models of mind-brain interactions, variations in states of consciousness and unusual experiences, and psi or parapsychological phenomena such as ostensible telepathy and precognition in the labora
