This paper deals with the Cauchy problem for hyperbolic so-called stiff systems in one space dimension with large relaxation term depending on a small parameter $delta$. In this case the symmetrizer for the modified symbol of the system, in general, depends on the wave number $omega$ and does not define a quadratic entropy. Therefore, the concept of stiff well-posedness of the Cauchy problem appea

Vad betyder massmedia för synen på sociala problem och socialpolitik? Författarna i denna bok tar ur olika vinklar upp massmediers betydelse när det gäller att forma allmänhetens och beslutsfattares världsbild, inte minst gäller det socialpolitiska brännande frågor som hur invandrare behandlas i press och tv eller hur man rapporterar om sociala problem som brottslighet. Men vilka är då de världsbi

With the theme of the research conference of the NNHSH network we want researchers, both at doctoral and post-doctoral level, to reflect on how health practices and health policies in the Nordic Welfare States are being transformed and have been transformed in the past. The Nordic countries are all, more or less, in the midst of a transformation from a social democratic health care system, based o

This paper focuses on the design and the evaluation of a single-phase claw-pole machine that is integrated into a fan drive. The inner stator of the machine is manufactured by using a rotational moulding technology, which allows a high integrability when using plastic matrix Soft Magnetic Mouldable Composite - (SMC)-C-2. The goal of the design is to develop a fan integrated drive where the major a

This dissertation is about bridging the gap between strategy and operations in organizations. To bridge that gap, processes are viewed not only from an operational perspective but also from conceptual, as well as a hierarchical perspectives. Bridging the gap can furthermore make organizational change initiatives more logical, and simplify the development and usage of needed performance measurement

I analyze the role of gender-sex-sexuality in school policies in Sweden; Canada; and Germany. Policies concerning young people’s negotiations of gender-sex-sexuality in schools draw on specific understandings of societal belonging and cohesion. Invariably such policies are part of national discourses regarding values and norms of gender and relationships; informed by concepts of ethnicized belongi

This report gives some information about the possibilities and problems, which have been observed during an excursion to Sweden, jointly organised by the Department of Comparative Education, University of Marburg and the Department of Education at the University of Hamburg. Two different forms can be discerned. One concerns the provision of school psychology in Gothenburg and the other relates to

One way to lower the fuel consumption in future vehicles is to replace mechanically driven systems by electrical. The drawback with this solution is the increasing number of electrical loads, which creates more electromagnetic emissions that could disturb the surrounding environment. Many of the electrically driven loads are controlled by pulse width modulation, which could be a source of electrom
