This text examines three life stories about becoming mentally ill and Albert Camus’ fictive narrative “The Stranger”. The main concern is how the social and psychiatry intervenes in the narrative that the interviewees give. Drawing from a reasoning in Michel Foucaults monograph Madness and Civilization and Dorothy Smiths work on relations of ruling the argument in this article is that when becomin
This paper contains a theoretically and empirically based analysis of infrastructures and co-operational patterns in a Scandinavian Internet consulting company. The purpose of the analysis originated from the hypothesis that Web-based Information Systems could especially facilitate work in distributed organisations, this as a platform for supporting collaboration, communication and co-ordination w
In recent years, a growing body of research has studied the effects of social network sites on various aspects of politics. However, little attention has been spent on how social network sites are used internally in political parties, and how they affect the perceived tension between the hierarchical structure of the political party and the network-based communication becoming more common and tech
The design of a controller for glycemia regulation, either in open or in closed-‐loop, relies on models able to describe the effects of a meal intake and an insulin injection on blood glucose dynamics. The purpose of this study was therefore to propose a physiological relevant yet parsimonious model for carbohydrate action on fasting blood glucose in T1DM patients when no insulin is taken.
Along with the increasingly globalized business environment that we have witnessed over the past decades cross-culture management research has establish itself as an important research field with much of its inspiration coming from colonialism and a Western rational thinking. The legacy of colonialism and Western rationality is apparent in its engagement in research practices involving the essenti
A method for fast and precise measurement of effciency in induction heating processes is evaluated and tested. The method, based on thermal imaging is presented with advantages and drawbacks based on results from coupled transient simulations and from experimental results. The experiments are performed using two different induction heating platforms, equipped with high quality measurement equipmen
The switches and the control circuit of Buck converter with static feedback control have been implemented in a standard digital 0.6 μm CMOS process. The control used is a direct large-signal approach, and the converter has been proven to be globally asymptotically stable using the theory of successors in combination with Lyapunov's direct method. One very important design parameter is the output r
A class-C CMOS harmonic VCO maximizes the oscillation amplitude by operating the active devices operating in class C, while the bias-current noise is naturally rejected by the topology. Drawing 1.4mA from a 1V supply, the 0.13µm CMOS prototype exhibits an average phase noise of -130dBc/Hz at 3MHz offset over the 4.90-to-5.65GHz tuning range, for an FoM of 194.5dBc/Hz.
