"The media’s role is tremendously bad and therefore its acting in the society should be examined under the loop"

Media serve us with news, both local and from abroad, they entertain and keep us updated on what important decisions are to be made worldwide; decisions that ought to be related to our conditions of living - but obviously they are not. The media’s role is tremendously bad and therefore its acting in the society should be examined under the loop, not only once but twice. However, more often the Swedish mass media see themselves as mighty gods or supermen, and thusly do not take any criticisms at all. To be fartgenteel is not the right way to go!

In this significantly revised third edition, Designing Zero Carbon Buildings combines embodied and operational emissions into a structured approach for achieving zero emissions by a specific year with certainty.Simulation and quantitative methods are introduced in parallel with analogue scale models to demonstrate how things work in buildings. Where equations are provided, this is also explained with common analogue objects, pictures, and narratives. A Zero Equation introduced in this book is not only explained as an equation but also as an analogy with a jam jar and spoons, making the book accessible for a range of audiences. Tasks for simple experiments, exercises, discussion questions, and summaries of design principles are provided in closing lines of chapters.This book introduces new case studies, in addition to an updated case study of the Birmingham Zero Carbon House, applying embodied and operational emissions to assess their status using the Zero Equation. The approach introduced brings about a sense of realism into what true zero emissions mean. Written for students, educators, architects, engineers, modellers, practising designers, sustainability consultants, and others, it is a major positive step towards design thinking that makes achieving zero carbon emissions a reality.

Perkovic's Introduction to Computing Using Python: An Application Development Focus, 2nd Edition is more than just an introduction to programming. It is an inclusive introduction to Computer Science that takes the pedagogical approach of "the right tool for the job at the right moment," and focuses on application development.  The approach is hands-on and problem-oriented, with practice problems and solutions appearing throughout the text. The text is imperative-first, but does not shy away from discussing objects early where appropriate. Discussions of user-defined classes and Object-Oriented Programming appear later in the text, when students have more background and concepts can be motivated. Chapters include an introduction to problem solving techniques and classical algorithms, problem-solving and programming and ways to apply core skills to application development. This edition also includes examples and practice problems provided within a greater variety of domains.  It also includes case studies integrated into additional chapters, providing students with real life applications using the concepts and tools covered in the chapters.

From the Preface: This book constitutes an up to date presentation and development of stability theory in the Liapunov sense with various extensions and applications. Precise definitions of well known and new stability properties are given by the authors who present general results on the Liapunov stability properties of non-stationary systems which are out of the classical stability theory framework. The study involves the use of time varying sets and is broadened to time varying Lur'e-Postnikov systems and singularly perturbed systems... According to the amount and importance of definitions and stability criteria presented I consider that this book, initially published in Russian, represents the most complete one on stability theory proposed at this date. It interests all people concerned with stability problems in the largest sense and with security, reliability and robustness. Professor Pierre Borne, Lille, France #1

”Den Gyllene Legenden…”, som gått i folkmun i generationer och som finns välbevarad på 13 föregyptiska kryptiska guldtavlor, förtäljer oss om mystiska och ouppklarade mord under det antika Egypten, under en epok då mäktiga härskare och härskarinnor levde i förgylld prakt och materiellt överflöd. Handlingen börjar med att en 113 år gammal synsk kvinna i en bostadsrätt i Malmö år 2020 i sin dröm förflyttas flera årtusenden tillbaka till det antika Egypten 2020 f.Kr.. Vi förflyttar oss genom tiden och platser, från Malmö och Skåne över Vendland, det serviska klosterriket Kosovo-Metohija, munkrepubliken Athos och ön Kreta till det gamla Egypten. Vi hamnar hos en grupp sarmatiska överstepräster och lärda män, som är i full gång med en ritualisk lammofferprocess tillägnad deras allsmäktige gud Serbon, även kallad Herakles eller Herkules — enligt en gammal legend Zeus son samt Filip och Alexander den Stores förfader.

Skolans allt mer uppenbara misslyckande är ett ämne som är mer aktuellt än någonsin, och här reflekterar två lärare över hur det ser ut i skolan idag och vad som kan göras åt saken. Det är OK att tjäna stora pengar på skolverksamhet, hålla nere lärarnas löner, skära ner på verksamheten och inte ens leverera det man är skyldig enligt lag. Vad kan man göra när det skurits så mycket att skolan inte fullgör sina skyldigheter, och problemen bara hopar sig, när vinster i skolan är viktigare än vettiga löner och arbetsförhållanden för lärare, och när eleverna allt för ofta inte får den undervisning och det stöd de behöver och har rätt till för att kunna få godkända betyg, medan diskussionen allt för mycket handlar om helt andra saker, som lärarlegitimationer t.ex. Missförhållandena i den svenska skolan blir bara värre och både elever och lärare far illa. De båda författarna tar upp flera olika frågor som t.ex. löner, arbetstid, arbetsuppgifter och anställningstrygghet m.m. vad gäller lärarna. Beträffande eleverna talar de om hur stress påverkar inlärning, och om att även elever med särskilda behov ska få den hjälp de behöver och har rätt till, i det här sammanhanget särskilt de med ADHD och Aspergers syndrom. De diskuterar inte bara problemen, utan föreslår även lösningar. Det är uppfriskande att höra några röster inifrån, i motsats till de politiska diskussionerna som inte verkar handla om människors rätt alls, utan mer om pengar och rätten till profit.

Den så kallade hjärtlöse fursteprinsen från Valakiet, kring vilken bisarra legender hålls levande än idag, heter Vlad Ţepeš III Drakula (1431-1476), ‘Drakonsonen‘, även stavad Dracula. Han var lika fullfjädrad och listig som en räv som dansade ombytligt mellan lojalitet och svekfullhet sökandes gunst hos rika och högt uppsatta Habsburgare, ungrare och turkar. Som sådan drog Ţepeš uppmärksamhet och nyfikenhet till sig och hittade så småningom sin kosmiska och transcendentala väg till skräck- och fantasyförfattaren Bram Stoker, som 450 år senare kom att användas som inspirationskälla till bestsellerromanen Dracula — den första i sitt slag. Han var den mest kända och omtalade i böckernas värld samt den mest vampyraktiga och blodiga genom tiderna. Abraham "Bram" Stoker (1847– 1912) gav ut klassikern Dracula i maj 1897. Fast centralgestalten Dracula var egentligen ingen allmänt vedertagen greve, utan i själva verket en serbisk fursteprins från det mytomspunna landskapet Kosovo och Metohija. Efter slaget vid ‘Trastfältet‘, Kosovo Polje, den 15 juni 1389, vandrade många serbiska adelsfamiljer ut från det ödelagda Kosovo till de lugnare och fredligare norra delarna av Serbien i Vojvodina och Banatet. Några feodala adelsfamiljer flyttade även längre bort till de serbiska respektive kroatiska landskapen Dalmatien, Krajina, Lika, Kordun, Banija och Slavonien. En annan del drog över bergen till Lijevnofältet i Hercegovina, Sarajevo, Travnik i Bosnien och Drobnjak i norra Montenegro. En tredje falang av den ansenliga ätten Kosorić, även stavad Kosarić/ Kossaritz/ Kosseritz, begav sig i riktning mot brödralandskapen Transsylvanien och Valakiet. Där föddes drakonsonen Vladislav "Vlad" III Ţepeš 42 år senare.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is very special in his way of being and a largely fascinating personality. He is the President of Russia since 2000 and incredibly well-liked and popular. Putin is about to reestablish Russia’s military force, its humiliated pride and honour. Whether we wish it or not, Mother Russia is once again a major power factor to be reckoned with in international world politics. Either you respect Mr Putin or disrespect him, another alternative does not exist. He is the man of one kind.

The International Committee on Large Dams (ICOLD) held its 26th International Congress in Vienna, Austria (1-7 July 2018). The proceedings of the congress focus on four main questions: 1. Reservoir sedimentation and sustainable development; 2. Safety and risk analysis; 3. Geology and dams, and 4. Small dams and levees. The book thoroughly discusses these questions and is indispensable for academics, engineers and professionals involved or interested in engineering, hydraulic engineering and related disciplines.

This is thefirst-ever English language anthology of zenithism, an eclectic avant-gardemovement unique to the Yugoslav region that existed 1921–1927. Zenithism’sfounder Ljubomir Micić envisioned the movement as a fusion of futurism, dada,constructivism, expressionism, and proto-surrealism, driven by what he calledthe “barbarogenius.” A hallmark of the movement was its embrace of cross-genrewriting, from Ljubomir Micić’s ciné-poem RescueVehicle and Branko Ve Poljanski’s lyric novel 77 Suicides to MID’s lyric philosophic treatise The Sexual Equilibrium of Money. Thezenithists promoted their ideas through their journal Zenit and press Biblioteka Zenit. Reaching American readers for thefirst time, this anthology sheds light on an untapped chapter in Europeanmodernism ideal for the general and academic reader alike.
