Information and Computation Nets
- 2009
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Information and Computation Nets The book presents investigations into the world of info-computational nature, in which information constitutes the structure, while computational process amounts to its change. Information and computation are inextricably bound: There is no computation without informational structure, and there is no information without computational process. Those two complementary ideas are used to build a conceptual net, which according to Novalis, is a theoretical way of capturing reality. We try to apprehend the reality within a framework known as natural computationalism, the view that the whole universe can be understood as a computational system at many different levels – from quantum mechanical world, to biological organisms including intelligent minds and their societies. Questions about nature of information and computation and their unified view are addressed along with application of info-computational approach to knowledge.

Moderna kommuner
- 2013. - 4
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Förnyelse och förändring är honnörsord i landets kommuner och har så varit under de senaste decennierna. Den nationella politiken förändras, medborgarna förändras, nya idéer om statlig och politisk styrning formuleras. Det är också på grund av dessa ständiga förändringar som denna fjärde och omarbetade upplaga av Moderna kommuner nu föreligger.Bokens ambition är att beskriva hur kommuner och landsting/ regioner är inplacerade i det svenska statsskicket, hur kommunerna formellt styrs, vilka verksamheter som förekommer och hur idéer och praktik formar den kommunala politiken, men också att tillhandahålla begrepp och teoretiska perspektiv som kan användas för att förstå kommunernas verksamhet, utveckling och utmaningar.

Transboundary water management and the climate change debate
- 2015
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Climate change has an impact on the ability of transboundary water management institutions to deliver on their respective mandates. The starting point for this book is that actors within transboundary water management institutions develop responses to the climate change debate, as distinct from the physical phenomenon of climate change. Actors respond to this debate broadly in three distinct ways – adapt, resist (as in avoiding the issue) and subvert (as in using the debate to fulfil their own agenda). The book charts approaches which have been taken over the past two decades to promote more effective water management institutions, covering issues of conflict, cooperation, power and law.

Strange Meetings: Walt Whitman, Wilfred Owen and Poetry of War
- 1997
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In their poetry of war, Walt Whitman and Wilfred Owen substantially revise or reject outright the idea of the sublime, traditional theories of the lyric, and Romantic standards of poetic value that assert the superiority of ahistorical and non-didactic verse. Rather than being faced with an “anxiety of influence,” they confront the immense difficulties of finding a means of adequate poetic response in an age of mechanized mass death. Whitman and Owen similarly but independently propose the physical body as the basis for all shared reference and language. Although Whitman will employ the bodies of those wounded and killed in war as substantiation for his vision of the democratic ideal, the overwhelming reality that they represent eventually undermines his assertions and endangers his sanity. The unknown and anonymous dead in war also create a crisis of naming and language for Whitman, a crisis that results in an increasingly desperate use of metaphor and threatens his poetic voice with silence. Owen constantly emphasizes the effects of war on human embodiment and repudiates the trope of immortality. He argues that a poet must stress immanence over transcendence; the alternative is non-referential language that avoids the physical and human consequences of war. Both Whitman and Owen use the idea of song in verse to further their interpretations of war. For Whitman, sound and rhythm are a means of establishing structure and order on the anarchy of war, a chaos that destroys even the most basic metaphor of the proper name. Owen, by accentuating the poetic techniques of pararhyme, assonance, alliteration, and consonance, reflects the nightmare, unreality and madness of the modern battlefield through sounds that overwhelm and music that disorients. Through his technical practices Owen makes his words disconcertingly tangible, directing his readers towards a rediscovery of the roots of poetry and language. These poets not only mark a dramatic transformation in the nature of verse written about war, but they also anticipate the most significant developments and tropes of 20th-century poetry in general.

Stationary stochastic processes for scientists and engineers
- 2013
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Stochastic processes are indispensable tools for development and research in signal and image processing, automatic control, oceanography, structural reliability, environmetrics, climatology, econometrics, and many other areas of science and engineering. Suitable for a one-semester course, Stationary Stochastic Processes for Scientists and Engineers teaches students how to use these processes efficiently. Carefully balancing mathematical rigor and ease of exposition, the book provides students with a sufficient understanding of the theory and a practical appreciation of how it is used in real-life situations. Special emphasis is on the interpretation of various statistical models and concepts as well as the types of questions statistical analysis can answer.
