2. 1. The Power of Symbolic Power : An Application of O'Neill's Game of Honour to Asymmetric Internal Conflict

   Author : Ylva Isabelle Blondel; Mats Hammarstrom; Barry O'Neill; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Peace and conflict research; asymmetric power; Algeria; internationalisation; internal conflict; symbolic strategy; symbolic power; honour; game theory; public events; media audience; Freds- och konfliktforskning; Peace and conflict research; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

   Abstract : Powerful states can lose wars to militarily weaker opponents. This can only be understood by moving away from an over-simplified traditional definition of power and by incorporating the symbolic dimensions of power. READ MORE

4. 2. Power Asymmetry Revisited : Reconciling EU Foreign Policy Goals and Enlargement Conditionality in the Western Balkans

   Author : Jessica Giandomenico; Li Bennich-Björkman; Anna Jarstad; Andreas Bågenholm; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; EU enlargement; EU foreign policy; EU conditionality; power asymmetry; historical institutionalism; path dependence; institutional layering; Western Balkans; Macedonia; elections; Statskunskap; Political Science;

   Abstract : The EU is assumed to have a strong top-down transformative power over the states applying for membership. This leverage is based on a power asymmetry where the applicant states want to join the EU more than the EU wants to enlarge, and that the applicant states gain more than the member states from the enlargement.

5. 3. Modeling of Wind Turbines for Power System Studies

   Author : Tomas Petru; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flicker; fault response; power quality; wind turbine; power system stability; measurements; prediction; verification; grid simulation; modeling;

   Abstract : The power quality impact of wind turbines on the electric grid and the response of the wind turbines to faults in the electric grid are investigated in this thesis. A detailed model of a stall-regulated, fixed-speed wind turbine system capable of predicting the flicker impact on the connected grid is presented and compared with field measurements. READ MORE

6. 4. Impulse Radio UWB for the Internet-of-Things : A Study on UHF/UWB Hybrid Solution

   Author : Zhuo Zou; Hannu Tenhunen; Tor Sverre Lande; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ultra-Wideband; impulse radio; IR-UWB; RFID; asymmetric links; UHF UWB hybrid; wireless sensing; energy detection; low power; radio receiver; positioning; Internet-of-Things;

   Abstract : This dissertation investigates Ultra-Wideband (UWB) techniques for the next generation Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) towards the Internet-of-Things (IoT). In particular, an ultra-high frequency (UHF) wireless-powered UWB radio (UHF/UWB hybrid) with asymmetric links is explored from system architecture to circuit implementation. READ MORE

7. 5. Does the psychosocial school environment matter for health? : a study of pupils in Swedish compulsory school from a gender perspective

   Author : Katja Gillander Gådin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; psychosocial school environment; demand; control; social support; classmate problems; rowdiness; ill health; health behavior; power; gender;

   Abstract : Despite the fast-growing evidence of the importance of the psychosocial work environment for the health of adults there is a lack of research about the possible health effects of the work environment among pupils, that is, their school environment. This is especially true for the psychosocial aspects of the pupils' school situation. READ MORE
