Vatt Samrong Ek: the Inscription, the Buddha Pedestal, and the Numbers
No full textOne of the two dates mentioned on the pedestal of a Buddha image kept at Vatt Samrong Ek (Tra Vinh Province, Vietnam) contains an error in reckoning that has so far not been explained. But if we look at how the intervals between the years involved should have been calculated and how the author actually calculated them, we can see how the error came about.L’une des deux dates contenues dans l’inscription figurant sur le socle d’une
statue de Buddha conservée au Vatt Samrong Ek (dans la province de Tra Vinh au Viêt-nam) est visiblement erronée et cette erreur est restée jusqu’ici inexpliquée.
Toutefois, si l’on se figure comment l’intervalle entre les dates concernées aurait dû être calculé et comment il l’a effectivement été par l’auteur de l’inscription, il est
possible de comprendre comment l’erreur s’est produite.Eade Chris. Vatt Samrong Ek: the Inscription, the Buddha Pedestal, and the Numbers. In: Aséanie 27, 2011. pp. 101-104
Eccentric orbits and apsidal motion in the eclipsing binaries EK Cep and HS Her
No full textWe present the first modern analysis of two young eclipsing binaries, EK Cep and HS Her, based on new ground-based CCD multicolour light curves and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) observations, radial velocity curves, and eclipse timing measurements. The orbital and stellar parameters of the stars are determined by Roche modelling, and their evolutionary status is examined using a grid of isochrones and evolutionary tracks. We find that HS Her is 25-32 Myr old and its components are on the zero-age main sequence (ZAMS); at the age of 16-20 Myr, the primary of EK Cep is also on the ZAMS, but its secondary is a pre-main-sequence star. Both binaries have slightly eccentric orbits and display apsidal motion. Based on updated eclipse timings and spectroscopic evidence, we rule out the presence of a previously hypothesized tertiary component in HS Her. © 2022 The Author(s)
Wage policies and the integration of immigrants
No full textMost Nordic countries struggle with the integration of low-skilled immigrants. Relying on research from primarily the Nordics, we discuss to what extent minimum wage reductions can improve labour market prospects for immigrants, whether unskilled and low-pay jobs serve as stepping stones to more qualified and higher-paid jobs and how wages of incumbent workers would be affected by lower minimum wages. We argue that targeted minimum wage reductions aimed at new, previously non-existing jobs and increased differentiation of minimum wages according to experience provide an appropriate balance between the conflicting goals of high employment and low wage inequality.This is a slightly longer version of Ek and Skedinger (2019), We thank Pernilla Andersson Joona, the editors, participants at the seminar arranged by Nordregio on November 6, 2018, and an anonymous reviewer for valuable comments and suggestions.

Outside the frame : images of femininity and masculinity in "Swan Lake" and "Giselle" with choreography by Mats Ek
No full textThe aim of this study is to analyze the possibilities and strategies for constructing images of the body in the art of dance, as well as to describe the discourse of carnality created by dance. The author uses a methodology based on critical theory. Research material, i.e. the choreography by Mats Ek, allow to applied to the study categories "the scene" and "the obscene" created by Lynda Nead. Through the analysis of movements, gestures and postures used in the different styles of Western dance, the author approaches to describe images of femininity and masculinity created by the art of dance

De acuerdo con los resultados de diversas investigaciones arqueológicas el surgimiento de este sitio, como emplazamiento relevante, pudo haber tenido lugar en algún momento entre los años 400-600 d.C., correspondientes al periodo Clásico Temprano del área maya.</p
La relación de la literatura y la historia a través de la hipertextualidad en Ixbalam-ek’ de Ruperta Bautista
No full textThis article seeks to explore the link between literature and history in contemporary indigenous literature, with the novel Ixbalam-ek ‘ by the Tsotsil author Ruperta Bautista, through Gerald Genette’stheory of hypertextuality. It is intended to demonstrate, by means of four of the seven categories that integrate hypertextuality, how the novel presents a connection with ancient Mayan texts such as the Popol Vuh and the Chilam Balam.El presente artículo busca explorar el vínculo de la literatura y la historia en la literatura indígena contemporánea, en la novela Ixbalam-ek’ de la autora tsotsil Ruperta Bautista, a través de la teoríade la hipertextualidad de Gerald Genette.

Study of lower sampling intervals on rainfall queue characteristics over Radio Links in South Africa.
No full textMasters Degree. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban.Rainfall attenuation in tropical and subtropical regions of the world has continued to attract great interest; as there is a urgent emphasis on proper spectrum management and sharing, particularly at microwave and millimeter bands above 10 GHz. To this end, there have been arguments pertaining to the need to improve the ‘sensing’ of rainfall events to enhance the opportunities provided by adaptive rain fade mitigation schemes, while conserving base station power requirements during rainy events. To implement this approach, an extensive understanding of rainfall time series via the available statistical tools is often required to properly harness the characteristics of rainfall behavior. To this end, a study was undertaken to examine the behavior of rainfall and its impact on radio links at 1-minute sampling time by using the Queueing Theory Technique (QTT). Interesting results were obtained in the process of the study, except that the effect of the sampling time on rainfall queues remained unknown. Therefore, this thesis presents the investigation of the sampling time effects on rainfall queues over radio links in Durban, South Africa. Rainfall measurements were collected at 30-second sampling time using the RD-80 Joss–Waldvogel (JW) distrometer in Durban (29o52’S, 30o58’E), the same location where the 1-minute data was previously collected. As before, the rainfall data is classified into four rainfall regimes, namely drizzle, widespread, shower and thunderstorm. The queue parameters required for rainfall traffic analysis such as inter-arrival time and service-time distribution are empirically determined to be Erlang-k distributed, whereas the overlap time is exponentially distributed. It is thus established that the queue discipline for rain spikes over radio waves is a non-Markovian process (Ek/Ek/s/∞/FCFS). Comparison between the 30-second rainfall queues results and previous results of 1-minute sampling time, shows that more rainfall spikes are revealed at 30-second sampling time. Furthermore, it is determined that there is a strong polynomial relationship between the 30-second and 1-minute sampling time data – hence some of the 1-minute data may be converted into 30-second data by using the polynomial function, with the appropriate polynomial coefficients according to rainfall queue parameters in each regime. The converted data is amalgamated with the actual 30-second data for the investigation of the rainfall long-term behavior. It is found that the rainfall long-term behavior resembles the behavior of the short-term data - hence implying that the rainfall process at 30-second sampling time in Durban has the attributes of a self-similar process. From rain attenuation investigation, it is determined that since more rain spikes are evident in the 30-second data, the former has higher rain attenuation exceedance values (R0.01) compared to the 1-minute data
"Varför måste Butler vara så jävla akademisk?" En diskussion om feministisk kunskapsteori och akademiska undervisningsrum [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textAnne-Charlotte Ek diskuterar de pedagogiska verktyg hon använt för att introducera svårtillgängliga feministiska texter när hon undervisat i genusvetenskap. En central utgångspunkt för henne är att understryka att all kunskapsproduktion och kunskapsförmedling är situerad. Hon uppmanar oss att i vår undervisning använda våra feministiska kunskapsteoretiska insikter.The article discusses personal experiences gained by a teacher in gender studies and how she has addressed challenges such as the theoretical development and institutionalization of feminist theory on one hand, and the increasingly widened enrollment to higher education on the other. The argumentation is underpinned by concrete examples taken from a course where feminist poststructuralism is introduced. Special reference is made to Donna Haraway’s epistemological standpoint that all knowledge production is situated and that knowledge, in itself, always has social implications. If we transfer these insights to our classrooms, we need to consider how we, as teachers, articulate, motivate and establish our own culture of academic knowledge production. The power, in this situation, concerns how we relate to clashes of interests and the diversity of the range of possibilities, both in the interaction between teacher and student and between the students themselves. How we relate to these issues will result in different opportunities for different students to conquer the conceptual tools the course is aimed to give them. The author is therefore both giving arguments and, with practical examples, showing how an approach based on ‘walking your own talks’ can facilitate more equal power relations in our increasingly diverse classrooms.</p
