This volume deals with the mission of the historical Jesus, that is, Jesus' notion of being commissioned by God to carry out a specific task, and his ideas of how to perform that task. Eleven scholars discuss how the mission of Jesus was understood in earlier research and present their own views.

The paper deals with the structure-motion problem for images of point configurations taken by uncalibrated cameras. Using a parametrisation by affine shape and kinetic depth, a complete and explicit characterisation of the imaging geometry is given, including the shape of the object configuration and the positions of the cameras relative to the scene. No epipolar geometry is used. It is shown that

Discussion concerning the concept of cultural identity in connection with education and media pedagogy

In this paper, tone mapping operations based on the nonlinear successive Mean Quantization Transform (SMQT) are proposed in order to convert high dynamic range images to low dynamic range images. A SMQTbased tone mapping applied on the luminance channel is derived as well as a SMQT-based method working directly on all RGB channels. Both methods are compared to other state-of-the-art methods and pr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av tre delar. Gemensamt för de tre delarna är användningen av signalberoende basfunktioner och skattning av händelserelaterade signaler från hjärnan. Händelserelaterade signaler uppkommer i hjärnan som svar på ett yttre stimulus, t.ex., ett ljud eller en ljusblixt. Svaret från hjärnan kan mätas med elektroder på huvudet men är kraftigt stört av den sThe three parts of this thesis are different examples of utilization of signal dependent basis functions in the estimation procedure. The first part surveys a number of parametric methods applied to estimation of single ERP (P300). The basis functions of the sERP are the damped sinusoids where the frequency and damping factor are estimated from the signal. The algorithms for white noise disturban

This chapter introduces basic differences between Free/Open Source Enterprise Resources Planning systems (FOS-ERP) and Proprietary ERP (P-ERP), revisiting the previous work of Carvalho (2008). Taking into account that some years has passed and the economic downturn came, it updates key aspects of FOS-ERP under both vendor and adopter perspectives. Like its predecessor, this chapter contributes to

Popular Abstract in Swedish En undersökning av alternativen särreglering allmän reglering för beskattning av fåmansaktiebolag och dess delägare m.fl. En jämförelse sker med dansk rätt som i princip saknar särregler för fåmansaktiebolag eller motsvarande. Mot bakgrund av undersökningen analyseras behovet av särregler.The purpose of this dissertation is to examine whether special taxation rules for close companies and their owners are necessary, or that taxation in accordance with the general principles of income taxation will suffice. The principles of statutory interpretation of the Supreme Administrative Court and development trends in this area are described. These trends are then examined in relation to th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tillväxtfaktorer kan förbättra cellöverlevnad och funktion i djurmodeller av Parkinson’s sjukdom. En av de vanligaste sjukdomarna i nervsystemet är Parkinson’s sjukdom. Den uppkommer genom att man gradvis förlorar en viss grupp av nervceller som använder signalsubstansen dopamin, vilket i sin tur leder till brist på dopamin i målområdet i hjärnan, striatum. Detta resulParkinson’s disease is characterized by progressive degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopamine system, which results in tremor, rigidity, akinesia and postural abnormalities. New therapeutic strategies are aimed at halting the neurodegenerative process or restoring the system by transplantation of fetal dopamine neurons. We have investigated the potential of the neurotrophic factors glial cell lin

The paper explores ideas as to what Bronze Age barrows could have symbolized in the society in which they functioned as living symbols. Four possible concepts are discussed: continuity, collective, context, and hierarchy. Source material is taken from five areas in Scania where there is adequate data from excavated barrows to test the ideas: southern Halland, the parish of Raus, the island of Ven,
