The aim of this study is to explore preschool teachers' perceptions of intercultural education in preschool. Through qualitative focus group interviews with three teams, their perspectives and experiences were mapped. A phenomenographic analysis model was used to analyze the data and identify different perceptions of intercultural education. The re...
In this paper, the design of an antenna array for small 5G base stations, also called "small cells", operating in the 26 GHz millimeter band is proposed. Based on a single feeding circuit, this structure has dual polarization and diversity in radiation pattern. Simulated results show a maximum gain of 8.9 dBi and a maximum HPBW of 64° for this stru...
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur arrangörer av kortare workshops och kurser i kreativt skrivande förhåller sig till homogena deltagargrupper. Först undersöks deltagarnas sammansättning och sedan arrangörernas syn på mångfald utifrån sin organisations verksamhetsuppdrag. Arrangörerna arbetar på folkbibliotek och studieförbund o...

The yield potentiality of kharif rice is not completely used even under well-irrigated agro-ecosystem, mainly due to low irradiance by overcast cloud throughout the growing season in eastern India. We observed more than 50% yield reduction compared to the performance of 100 high-yield genotypes for consecutive three years both under open and 30–35%...

The structure and performance of neural networks are intimately connected, and by use of evolutionary algorithms, neural network structures optimally adapted to a given task can be explored. Guiding such neuroevolution with additional objectives related to network structure has been shown to improve performance in some cases, especially when modula...

Pareto-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithms experience grand challenges in solving many-objective optimization problems due to their inability to maintain both convergence and diversity in a high-dimensional objective space. Exiting approaches usually modify the selection criteria to overcome this issue. Different from them, we propose a n...

The rice blast caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most devastating diseases of rice and can lead to complete failure of the crop under severe cases. The first step in breeding for blast resistance in rice is therefore to identify the novel sources of resistance and cataloguing different blast resistant genes in these genotypes. I...
This paper presents the design of a miniature reconfigurable pattern antenna based on characteristic mode analysis. The fundamental mode analysis of a 80 mm x 54 mm rectangular plate is realized at 1.575 GHz to identify the modesthat can be used. A solution based on the excitation in the four corners of the plate is proposed and simulated.
