Only during the last two decades has the discourse on evaluation been on the Swedish agenda of social work and social care. One assumption is that a conscious need for evaluation knowledge and evaluation capacity has finally surfaced. This based on the view that work efforts of social service organizations are regarded as chiefly authority-based and to a lesser degree based upon scientific knowled

The empirical part of this study is based on a survey of 600 Swedish households and a number of interviews where questions about residential energy behaviour and possible policy instruments for change were raised. The study provides insight into current behavioural patterns and gives a bottom-up perspective on the realistic perspective potentials for change and ways to achieve them. Residential en

Ectomycorrhiza (EM) is a symbiosis between soil living fungi and the roots of woody plants. EM fungal communities are important in forest nutrient cycling, they are species rich and their structures vary between habitats and over time. An EM community in a phosphorus-poor forest was exposed to apatite and EM mycelia actively colonizing ingrowth bags were analyzed. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS)

Hur kan undervisningen i informationskompetens utvecklas för att underlätta ett djupare lärande? Här belysses detta utifrån ett lektionsmoment som behandlar källkritiska aspekter, något som med fördel kan integreras mer i studenternas ämneskontext, t.ex. genom att förankra det i typiska källor och material för ett visst ämnesområde.

Water resources management in water scarce regions like the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) is challenging with both large hydro-climatic-induced scarcity and the considerable inter-annual fluctuations at the centre of the allocation problem. Water must be allocated both in time and space using acceptable criteria and most importantly, all stakeholders must adhere to the decisions imp

Affinity purified antibodies to human sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) were used in screening a human liver cDNA library, constructed in the expression vector lambda gt11. One clone, identified as producing recombinant SHBG, carried a cDNA insert of 1.1 kb. The nucleotide sequence of the insert had an open reading frame coding for 356 amino acid residues. The coding sequence was followed by a s

We consider differential Riccati equations (DREs). These equations arise in many areas and are very important within the field of optimal control. In particular, DREs provide the crucial link between the state and the optimal input in the solution of linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problems. For the approximation of the solutions to DREs we consider the recently introduced splitting methods, wit

This article presents a spiral process model for an iterative case study on quality monitoring, conducted in an industrial environment. In a highly iterative project, everything seems to happen at the same time: analysis, design and testing. We propose a spiral process model for case studies, and present a study conducted according to the proposed process. In the study, metrics collected from thre

The catalyst layer (CL) in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells is one of the key components regulating the overall performance of the cell. In PEM fuel cells, there are two CLs having identical composition for hydrogen oxidation (HO) and oxygen reduction (OR) reactions. There are four phases inside the CL, namely: carbon, Pt particles, ionomer and voids. In this work, a micro-model of th
