- This paper adopts a communication perspective on forms in public e-services. This perspective emphasizes that the main purpose of such forms is to facilitate communication between citizens and government agencies. The form is perceived as a tool for performing communicative actions. A communication analysis (CA) method, originally developed for systems requirements engineering, is applied on a public form; i.e. the medical certificate used in connection with a citizen’s application for a provisional driving license in Sweden. The CA method consists of a set of questions related tothree communicative categories; conditions, actions, and consequences. The CA method is used in order to explore the communicative roles of forms in public e-services. As a result of the communication analysis four multi-functional purposes of citizen and government agency communication are discovered. These purposes contribute to the understanding and evaluation of forms in public e-services. The communicative roles, and their multi-functional purposes, are important design features to focus in the development of e-services and electronic forms. Besides these findings, another outcomeis that the CA method has been tested in an e-government context. The communication perspective, as well as the CA method, contribute with useful insights in this context.

- We discuss the possible application of techniques inspired by the theories of G-convergence and homogenization to understand mixtures of colors and how they appear as observed by the human eye. The ideas are illustrated by pictures describing the equivalent of a convergence process for different kinds of mixtures of colors.

- We investigate the homogenization of an evolution problem modelled by a parabolic equation, where the coefficient describing the structure is periodic in space but may vary in time in a non-periodic way. This is performed applying a generalization of two-scale convergence called λ-scale convergence. We give a result on the characterization of the λ-scale limit of gradients under certain boundedness assumptions. This is then applied to perform the homogenization procedure. It turns out that, under a certain condition on the rate of change of the temporal variations, the effective property of the given structure can be determined the same way as in periodic cases.
