Artikeln analyserar hur Augustinus i Sermo 9 hanterar människolivets paradoxer och svårigheter i relation till Guds löfte om evigt liv.Augustine mainly addressed men of the upper and middle classes.

Python can be used for more than just general-purpose programming. It is a free, open source language and environment that has tremendous potential for use within the domain of scientific computing. This book presents Python in tight connection with mathematical applications and demonstrates how to use various concepts in Python for computing purposes, including examples with the latest version of

Large carnivore populations, such as wolf (Canis lupus) and brown bear (Ursus arctos), have during the last decades increased in Scandinavia. This has led to an intensified debate about the presence of large carnivores as well as about large carnivore policy and management. To some people large carnivores are associated with positive feelings such as interest and joy. To others the presence of lar

The marketing materials of remote eye-trackers suggest that data quality is invariant to the position and orientation of the participant as long as the eyes of the participant are within the eye-tracker's headbox, the area where tracking is possible. As such, remote eye-trackers are marketed as allowing the reliable recording of gaze from participant groups that cannot be restrained, such as infan

In this work, we propose a novel multi-pitch estimation technique that is robust with respect to the inharmonicity commonly occurring in many applications. The method does not require any a priori knowledge of the number of signal sources, the number of harmonics of each source, nor the structure or scope of any possibly occurring inharmonicity. Formulated as a minimum transport distance problem,

I den här artikeln diskuteras kustpolicyförändringar i Sverige och deras dynamik, med stranderosion ochstrandfodring som exempel. Analysen baseras på Multiple Stream – modellen, som är en teoretisk modell förpolicyutveckling och agendasättning, utvecklad av samhällsvetaren John Kingdon (1984, 2003). Kustskydd ärinte ett separat policyområde i Sverige; åtgärder för att skydda allmän kust är ofta en

Enligt författarnas mångåriga erfarenhet från kustprojekt runt om i Sverige föreligger ett stort behov av en förbättrad terminologi på svenska vad gäller ingenjörsmässiga frågeställningar och planering av kustområden.Föreliggande artikel presenterar således en engelsk-svensk ordlista, inklusive förklarande kommentarer, med syfte att klargöra en lång rad ord och uttryck. Denna finns också att tillg
