This thesis presents an object-oriented technique for rewriting abstract syntax trees in order to simplify compilation. The technique, Rewritable Reference Attributed Grammars (ReRAGs), is completely declarative and supports both rewrites and computations by means of attributes. We have implemented ReRAGs in our aspect-oriented compiler compiler tool JastAdd II. We present the ReRAG formalism, its

A small co-insurance rate, corresponding to say 5 percent of the patient's annual taxable income, would reduce the the demand for health care substantially and allow tax reductions. Under certain conditions the latter would be so large that the net effect would be increase income for everyone concerned.

Sedan flera år tillbaka har bedömning av pedagogiska meriter och pedagogisk skicklighet uppmärksammats alltmer inom högskolesektorn, i synnerhet i samband med anställning och befordran (se Ryegård m.fl., 2010, för aktuell svensk översikt). Högskoleförordningen kräver sedan 2002 högskolepedagogisk utbildning för behörighet att anställas som adjunkt eller lektor; liksom att lika omsorg ägnas prövnin

Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) is a non-invasive and rapid optical method used in many medical diagnosis applications [1], measuring the characteristic reflectance spectrum produced as light passes through tissue. A drawback of this approach is that a pressure is created on the surface of the tissue affecting the optical properties of the studied tissue as well as the light-coupling into t

Syftet med projektet Hälsosant har varit att över Internet rehabilitera långtidssjukskrivna individer med stressrelaterad ohälsa. Projektet har haft två mål: att se om ett koncept för rehabilitering av smärtpatienter (Hälsosantkonceptet) fungerar rehabiliterande även för individer med stressrelaterad ohälsa och att närmare studera processen fram till utmattningssyndrom, hur det vänder, och hur sjä

Consumer packaging has become increasingly important as a value adding product service system, since packages shape the consumer’s experience of product use as well as accelerating and affecting the first purchase decision. Recent research in food packaging has resulted in technological innovations that provide information on the real shelf life and expiration of food products as a service to user

This paper deals with Kripke’s influential criticism of the view that mental states are physical in nature, i.e. that such states are identical with certain physical states or processes.
