A critical comparison of two mid 19th century versions of the story of As’ad al-Shidyâq, a young Maronite who became the first Protestant sympathiser in Lebanon; the first version written by an American missionary (Isaac Bird), the second by a Lebanese intellectual (Butrus al-Bustani) who became a Protestant. The comparison reveals differences between expatriate and indigenous perceptions of Prote
In nine chapters this book presents the interplay of Christian faith and interreligious relations, with particular focus on creation theology, christology and eschatology. The theological contributions of, e.g., Albert Scheweitzer, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Paul van Buren, John F. Haught, and Krister Stendahl are presented and discussed.
I present the result of a small investigation of the sentence pattern in a sample of spoken Swedish. As expected, the typical constituent order is SV – more than 70 percent of the declaratives displayed this constituent order. This result is in line with previous investigations, but the figure is higher. An absolute majority of sentences have a pronominal element in sentence initial position, in m
A hybrid ventilation system including sewage heat recovery for low energy buildings has been investigated using TRNSYS. Energy from solar collectors is used in combination with the heat recovered from the sewage system to preheat the ventilation air and the cold water for domestic use. Results show that the new system renders a possibility to use natural ventilation in passive houses and zero ener
Industrial organizations rely, to an increasing extent, on intangible resources such as the knowledge and competence of highly skilled workers. This makes them successively similar to organizations closely associated with highly skilled workers, such as professional service firms. But many industrial organizations also share another characteristic with professional service firms, that of customizi
Footwear sole wear by natural use or artificial abrasion either increases or decreases slip resistance on floors with and without lubricant. The objectives of this paper were to study the effect of footwear sole abrasive wear on slip resistance on ice with respect to temperature, and to compare the slip resistance of abraded soles on melting and hard ice with that on lubricated steel plate. The ki
Marknadskrafterna är en vanlig förklaring till löneskillnader mellan kvinnor och män. På den svenska arbetsmarknaden uppfattas marknaden ofta som en självständigt verkande kraft. En individs lön anses bestå av olika delar. En del hänför sig till arbetsuppgifterna och en annan del till den individuella arbetstagarens egenskaper. Marknadspåverkan kan vara en tredje självständig lönedel. Det synsätte
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nanoteknologi handlar om att på ett kontrollerat sätt utnyttja strukturer med minst en dimension i nanometerområdet (i storleksordningen 1 till 100 miljondels millimeter). Nanostrukturer har använts under lång tid och redan under medeltiden användes guldpartiklar av varierande storlek för att tillverka infärgade glas. Idag använder vi nanoteknologi dagligdags, t.ex. i vThis dissertation deals with the geometric and electronic structure of surfaces on III–V semiconductor nanowires (NWs). NWs made of InAs, GaAs, and InP have been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S), low energy electron microscopy (LEEM), photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All of the mentioned techniques have been devel
This paper explores a housing market with an existing tenant in each house and where the existing tenants initially rent their houses. The idea is to identify equilibrium prices for the housing market given the prerequisite that a tenant can buy any house on the housing market, including the one that he currently is possessing, or continue renting the house he currently is occupying. The main cont
Sustainability is a concept that has generated a great political and scientific debate during the last two decades, especially from the moment it was added to the concept of development. This has led to the distinction of two main interpretations of the term: weak and strong sustainability. The basic difference between both is that the first considers natural, manufactured and human capitals are s
The four surprisingly complex visual sensory organs of cubomedusae, the rhopalia, contain each six eyes of four morphologically different types, two of which are camera-type eyes. This means that the evolutionary basal nervous system of cubomedusae must process the visual signals received from a total of 24 rhopalial eyes. Since the neuronal organization of the rhopalia is obscure, the role of the
Resource optimization mechanisms, as admission control and traffic management, require accurate performance models that capture the dynamics of the system during high loads. The main objective of this paper is to develop an accurate performance model for database servers in a telecommunication service management system. We investigate the use of a server model with load dependency. Concurrent requ
The flow and acoustic fields that are generated by two coaxial jets are considered. The problem is handled by solving the flow field using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and the acoustics by a wave equation with source terms provided by the instantaneous LES. The paper is focused on the influence of the grid resolution on the solution accuracy.
