To make well-informed decisions on the implementation of solar energy on roofs within the urban environment, a new method was developed and described that could support such decision-making. This method takes both the mutual shading and shading from external objects into account. The method consists of the following six steps: 1) construction of the scene, 2) performance of annual solar irradiatioTo make well-informed decisions on the implementationof solar energy on roofs within the urban environment, anew method was developed and described that couldsupport such decision-making.

A general introduction to the use of feed-back artificial neural networks (ANN) for obtaining good approximate solutions to combinatorial optimization problems is given, assuming no previous knowledge in the field. In particular we emphasize a novel neural mapping technique which efficiently reduces the solution space. This approach maps the problems onto Potts glass rather than spin glass models.

The concept of partially premixed combustion (PPC), applied to conventional diesel engines, has shown to yield high gross efficiencies and low emissions of oxides of nitrogen and soot. PPC emerged from the knowledge gained from homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) research. To extend the load range and thus reduce cylinder pressure rise rates, the fuel is directly injected during the comThe concept of partially premixed combustion (PPC), applied to conventional diesel engines, has shown to yield high gross efficiencies and low emissions of oxides of nitrogen and soot.

Vatten är en naturresurs som vi kanske tar lite för mycket för givet i vårt land. Grundvattenforskaren charlotte Sparrenbom menar att skyddet av den kanske viktigaste naturresursen för vår överlevnad är kraftigt eftersatt. hon vill väcka till eftertanke om hur vårt fotavtryck ser ut för kommande generationer, och föreslå sätt att komma igång med bättre skydd av vårt vatten.

Stämmer föreställningen att John Rawls rättviseteori i A Theory of Justice är en empiriskt oförankrad analytisk konstruktion? Halldenius hävdar att den inte gör det. Rawls yttersta bevekelsegrunder var etiska, hans etik vardaglig och psykologisk och hans ambition att analysera människan i sitt samhälleliga sammanhang. Rättviseprincipernas universalitet till trots är rättvisans fråga ändå alltid en

The article argues that the way Anabaptist history and theology is commonly narrated needs to be reshaped. A fundamental question is asked: Did women have positions of power in the early Anabaptist movement? Two points are considered: 1) How is power understood? and 2) On what premises can the history of Anabaptist women be written? These two points are put in relation to portraits of three women

Considerable efforts by leading experts and funds from around the world are put into restructuring the West Bank justice and security sector (JSS). This is an effort done in a highly contested environment, with an ongoing Israeli occupation and weak local trust in the Palestine Authority (PA). This article analyzes the understandings by local Palestinian non-government organizations and internatio

Artikeln undersöker en teologisk traktat skriven på 1570-talet av Jesper Marci, kyrkoherde i Vadstena, (handskriften T 147 i Linköpings stiftsbibliotek), riktad mot Hans Pauli Montanus, kaplan i Vadstena kloster, och dennes enligt Jesper Marci vidskepliga bruk av vigvatten under 1570-talet. Det svenska reformatoriska prästvigningsritualet och bakgrunden till det symboliska överlämnandet av en bib

The is a review of Jonna Bornemark's book "Kroppslighetens mystik: en filosofisk läsning av Mechthild von Magdeburg", a book where she carries out a conversation with the 15th century beguin Mechthild via her texts; about central existential themes in connection with the bodily mystical experiences of Mechthild. Bornemark manages to do this with respect for Mechthild's own religious interpretation
