This study tries to find out if increased contact leads to increased trust between individuals and communities that earlier were enemies. The theoretical baseline for the study is the contact theory. According to the contact theory the more contact, under the right circumstances, the less trouble. Empirical research supports the theory on the individual level. However, when it comes to an aggregat
Extreme Programming (XP) is becoming popular as a software development method and there is quite a lot of literature describing its philosophy and practices. However, in all of this literature Software Configuration Management (SCM) is almost never mentioned explicitly, leaving XP practitioners with the impression that SCM is not needed and SCM people with the impression that XP is not sound from
Among several forces contributing to early twentieth-century modernization of labor management was increased state involvement in the economy. In this essay, I consider the first known case of severance pay in Sweden: compensation to redundant workers associated with the 1915 nationalization of the tobacco industry. The tobacco monopoly, obliged to make severance payments during the first five yea

bstract. This paper promotes nurses increased opportunities for active participation in the implementation of the healthcare system with special attention to implementation outside clinics, in patient's homes. The aim is to increase understanding of which rationality that underlies implementation with examples from two international projects implementing health care systems in several European cou
In order to treat highly localized excitations in a solid a simple spherical model has been developed. The Coulomb potential from the nucleus at the site of the excitation is treated exactly, while the potentials from the surrounding sites are turned into pseudoion pontentials. Only the spherical average of these potentials is retained and separate self-consistent calculations for the ground state
Deep-submicrometer CMOS processes are not suitable for traditional analog circuit design but they provide new opportunities of integrating complex digital functions. Within RF wireless communications, frequency synthesis stands out as a fundamental feature and novel digital solutions have been suggested for its implementation. Moving from an existing model, the goal of this paper is to outline the
