Nordens äldsta bevarade byggnad? : Dalby kyrkas värde mellan historia och framtid
Artikeln redogör för Dalby kyrkas kulturhistoriska värde utifrån olika kriterier som ålder och unicitet. Därefter går den över till att diskutera hur vårt sätt att uppfatta dess värde påverkar hur vi väljer att vårda den i framtiden.
City identities and cultural memories : A digital ethnography of the poetics and politics of participatory cultures in Southeast Asian cities
This paper is based on the preliminary stage of a PhD research that aims to explore meaning of cultural memories and its relation to the notion of city identities from participatory cultures that occur in Southeast Asian cities. The paper discusses the development of its conceptual framework, from cultural memory studies, participatory cultures in urban context, to digital ethnography as the resea

Indonesia has been officially joining "the global family" of Spotify since late of March 2016. How is the impact of this new media phenomenon on the landscape of auditory media in Indonesia? Also, how are the challenges being faced on media studies in the Indonesian contexts?

Surrounded by Images and Meanings : Essays on Media and Cultural Studies
This book consists of seventeen essays which are categorised into four sections: (1) the theoretical standpoint: semiotic and discursive approach, (2) news photography, television, and Internet in particular context, (3) cinema in contexts, and (4) documentary studies. The topics being discussed in all essays are varied, ranging from media in Asia, film and documentary studies, media and social ac
Participatory as everyday life : From creativity-based initiative to the production of networked space in Southeast Asian cities
The notion of creative city has been extensively discussed both in academic debate as well as public discourse, including on Asian context. However, a tendency to study only on strategic government policies in relation to this matter has led many multi-dimensional aspects being left behind. One of these important aspects is the creativity-based activities initiated and conducted by local groups, c
Modeling and Estimation Topics in Robotics
The field of robotics offers a wide array of estimation problems, ranging from kinematic and dynamic calibration to pose estimation and computer vision. This thesis presents a set of methods to solve estimation problems encountered in robotics, with an emphasis on industrial robotics. The researched topics are all practically motivated and have found immediate use in applications.Industrial roboti
Fear of falling, falls and near falls in Parkinson’s disease
ABSTRACTAIM: The overall aim of this longitudinal PhD project was to gain increased knowledge about factors associated with fear of falling (FOF) falls and near falls, as well as to contribute to improved clinical fall prediction for peoplewith mild Parkinson’s disease (PD).METHODS: People diagnosed with PD and receiving care at the university hospital outpatient neurology clinic were assessed dur
Crystal structure of β-glucosidase 1A from Thermotoga neapolitana and comparison of active site mutants for hydrolysis of flavonoid glucosides
The β-glucosidase TnBgl1A catalyses hydrolysis of O-linked terminal β-glycosidic bonds at the nonreducing end of glycosides/oligosaccharides. Enzymes with this specificity have potential in lignocellulose conversion (degrading cellobiose to glucose) and conversion of bioactive flavonoids (modification of glycosylation results in modulation of bioavailability). Previous work has shown TnBgl1A to hy
Indebted to Development : Microcredit as (De)marginalisation in Rural China
Microcredit schemes have been increasingly incorporated into development policiesthat aim to de-marginalise rural China. Based on in-depth ethnographicfieldwork,this paper examines the various roles that microcredit programmes play indevelopment outcomes at the local level. It demonstrates that microcredit has theability to facilitate the de-marginalisation of certain individuals/groups, whilesimu

Development of Modelling and Simulation tools for Geothermal Basements and Deep Foundations in Soft Clays
Pile heat exchangers are fast emerging as a potentially viable alternative to the more prevalent borehole heat exchangers for the provision of space heating and cooling. In the last decade or so, the use of geothermal piles has increased sharply in many countries including Belgium, China, Japan, Switzerland, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and United States, among others. In Sweden, however, inte

Toddlers’ shape recognition predicts language and working memory at 6-7 years
An electrophysiological measure of semantic processing (the N400) was used to assess shape recognition intoddlers. This measure strongly predicted working memory at 6-7 years. Moreover, a behavioral measure of shaperecognition at 24 months was related to concurrent vocabulary and vocabulary skills at 6-7 years.An electrophysiological measure of semantic processing (the N400) was used to assess shape recognition in toddlers.

GPS tracking of the foraging movements of Manx Shearwaters Puffinus puffinus breeding on Skomer Island, Wales
We report the first successful use of miniature Global Positioning System loggers to track the ocean-going behaviour of a c. 400g seabird, the Manx Shearwater Puffinus puffinus. During three field seasons, breeding birds were tracked during the incubation and chick rearing periods on their foraging excursions from the large colony on Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire, UK. Foraging effort was concentrat
Across landscapes and seascapes : The movement ecology of diving and flying guillemots and gulls during breeding
Some seabirds we encounter only fleetingly, as they fly by as we walk along the beach, or perhaps meet far out at sea when we take a boat trip. Others though we are more familiar with, such as the ‘seagulls’ that many will not even turn their head to appreciate. Yet, all seabirds have remarkable stories to tell, and we are fortunate now to live at a time where we can follow individual birds as theMost seabirds breed colonially, at which time they make central-place foraging trips. Parents must collect food both for themselves and for egg production/chick-rearing. How should they forage? I followed five species across two sites in Sweden in the Baltic Sea using GPS and time-depth recorder (TDR) devices, giving information on both flight and diving activity. I use a movement ecology approach
