Popular Abstract in Swedish De två studier som presenterats i föreliggande avhandling avser att belysa sambandet mellan den administrativa organisationen av skolan och rektors möjligheter att leda den pedagogiska verksamheten. Vidare avser den att granska sambandet mellan lärargruppens anda och tillfredsställelsen med rektors ledarskap. Studierna avser också att granska hur rektors förmåga att etaThe thesis focuses on the elementary school principal’s formal responsibility and role in connection with his spatial and psycho-social nearness to the teachers. On one hand it is a comparison between schools in Sweden and Iceland, while on the other hand it is a case study of the principal’s leadership in several different school organisations. These studies are based on the theory that even if t

This paper presents a cost-efficient soft-output signal detector design solution targeting on the spatial-multiplexing MIMO system. The detector achieves low hardware cost and near-optimal detection performance based on the modification to the fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) using several implementation-oriented algorithm-level improvements, which are early-pruning with polygon-shaped constr

I denna samling om fyra essäer behandlas Gunnar Ekelöf och hans poesi utifrån intermediala perspektiv, det vill säga frågeställningar rörande konstarternas och mediers interrelationer. Innehållsförteckningen ser ut som sådan: * Anders Mortensen: Om konsten och konsterna hos Gunnar Ekelöf * Annette Fryd: “Är inte de schizofrena ett slags atavistiska återfall?” Skizofreni og tolkningens greb i G

This study aims to increase the knowledge and understanding regarding the situation for undocumented immigrants in the Scandinavian welfare states, mainly from a Swedish perspective, but the situation in Denmark is also included in the discussion. Sweden and Denmark position themselves at the opposite sides of the spectrum regarding immigration policies within the European Union; Swedish immigrati

Knowledge about the equivalent currents distribution on a radome can be used to improve radome design, detect manufacturing errors, and to verify numerical simulations. In this paper, the transformation from near-field data to the equivalent currents distribution is analyzed. The transformation is based on a singular value decomposition of the surface integral equation that relates the equivalent

As home care increases and care is moving from nursing homes and hospitals into people’s homes, there are problem areas that need to be addressed and solved in a better way than today. Nurses and other home care workers are exposed to serval risks when the patients’ home environment becomes their workplace. There are also serval risks for the patients when their homes are transferred into “small h

We consider a fundamental problem for the betting interpretation of degrees of belief: There is a sense in which degrees of belief cannot be interpreted as betting rates. The bets we are disposed to accept do not reflect our current unconditional degrees of belief in various propositions. Whether a bet on A would be accepted or not does not depend on the agent’s degree of belief in A but rather on

Paper presentation at the Swedish Association for American Studies-Conference in Örebro 2014. It is based on HBO:s television series John Adams. Focus is on the American revolution and John Adams, the second president of the United States as they are presented in the television series and how the depiction of the revolution is formed by the early 21st century.
