The perspective of the public sphere, despite its utility, has some gaps. Not least is its lack of sociological anchoring in the everyday lives and experiences of citizens. The text argues that we can illuminate the media's role in promoting or hindering participation in the public sphere by making use of the six-dimensional framework of civic cultures.

Popular Abstract in Swedish För drygt tio år sedan startade ett forskningsprojekt mellan fyra avdelningar på Kemicentrum i Lund i syfte att ta fram en process för framställning av etanol ur snabbväxande energiskog. Etanol är ett miljövänligt alternativ till bensin som drivmedel för bilar och bussar, och redan idag körs ungefär 100 bussar i svenska städer på detta bränsle. Priset på drivmedelsetanoSystems for on-line monitoring of bioprocesses were developed, consisting of a membrane-based sampling unit, a liquid chromatographic (LC) separation step, and a detector. Two sampling units, a tangential flow filtration (TFF) module and a microdialysis probe, were characterised and evaluated for use in different types of bioprocesses. When using the TFF module, an additional sample clean-up step

The spectrum efficiency in a cellular radio system is affected by the data rates used in the system. High data rates may result in low spectrum efficiency if the frequency reuse is low. The spectrum efficiency may be enhanced by using adaptive modulation with carefully chosen data rates. We present an analytical method, based on a lower bound on the BER, for finding the best data rates. The method

Building on a framework introduced by Chaney and Ossa (2013), we construct a task-based model of the firm’s choice of occupational inputs to examine how that choice varies with greater global engagement. We depart from Chaney and Ossa by assuming that more complex tasks are more costly to complete. Within the structure of our model, firms skew employment toward occupations engaged in more complex

Different treatments of the decay-out of superdeformed bands are reviewed, focusing on the role of the normally deformed doorway states to which the superdeformed band primarily couples at decay-out. A schematic description based on sparse GOE matrices is formulated for the normally deformed states including one doorway state. This allows for a gradual change of the normally deformed spectrum from

There are many ways to realise a DP-internal possessor in Scandinavian. In some varieties, such as Standard Swedish and Standard Danish, all DP-internal possessors are prenominal. In other varieties, such as Faroese, Icelandic, and Norwegian, possessors can be either prenominal or postnominal. In the case of a pronominal possessor, prenominal position has to do with focus in these varieties. The s
