Arnstein driver våronn på Haugerud gård. Han er alene og savner ungene sine sånn at det verker i brystet. Han tenker på den morgenen for noen måneder tilbake, da Ellen pakket sakene deres i hui og hast og reiste. På det hun sa. Det hun visste om ham, som hun ikke kunne leve med. Rutinene i hverdagen, kyrne som skal stelles og melkes, jorda som skal gjøres klar for en ny vekstsesong, og morens evinnelige mas om at han må spise, er det som holder ham sammen. Inni ham er minnene og uroen så sterk at han knapt kan sove. Jan P. Solberg har skrevet en berørende og følsom roman om det å finne den store kjærligheten og å skusle den vekk, om hvor vanskelig det kan være å komme ut av skapet i en tid da alle dører står åpne. Du skal være tro er en roman om motet til å leve og til å akseptere seg selv. Samtidig er det en varm og sanselig skildring av livet som melkebonde. Kjærligheten til arbeidet med dyra og jorda går som en rød tråd gjennom handlingen, og gir trøst og styrke til Arnstein når han står i en livskrise.
Konrad Sundlo var regimentssjef med ansvaret for landforsvaret av den krigsviktige byen Narvik i 1940, og overga byen til tyskerne uten kamp. Han ble da stemplet som forræder og landssviker, mye på grunn av sin klare tyskvennlighet. Sundlo gikk i NS og tyskernes tjeneste resten av krigen, noe han ble dømt for. Han ble frifunnet av Høyesterett for overgivelsen av Narvik. Grunnlaget for denne boken er studier av flere enn 3000 sider med dokumenter fra rettssakene mot Sundlo i 1947. Det fremkommer i boken flere oppsiktsvekkende forklaringer på mange av ryktene og påstandene mot oberst Sundlo, særlig rundt det som hendte om morgenen 9. april 1940. Den tyske overtakelsen av Narvik var et resultat av feilvurderinger på flere nivåer både i det politiske og militære hierarkiet. Sundlos påståtte forræderi var derfor et behendig slør å gjemme seg bak.
The Book of Job in Form presents to the reader a platform for a personal and intensive encounter with a great work of art. Its bilingual centre offers the text in Hebrew and English, and shows the forty poems in their original form, in 412 strophes and 165 stanzas. The commentary points out how these proportions and the remarkable precision of the poet (who counted syllables on all text levels) affect the thematics of the book, so that the portrait of the hero can be redrawn; his stubbornly defended integrity meets vindication and his last words, generally misunderstood, require a positive understanding. The poetry and its slim framework in prose are a unified composition which deserves a synchronic approach.
Seasonality in economic time series can "obscure" movements of other components in a series that are operationally more important for economic and econometric analyses. In practice, one often prefers to work with seasonally adjusted data to assess the current state of the economy and its future course. This book presents a seasonal adjustment program called CAMPLET, an acronym of its tuning parameters, which consists of a simple adaptive procedure to extract the seasonal and the non-seasonal component from an observed series. Once this process is carried out, there will be no need to revise these components at a later stage when new observations become available. The authors describe the main features of CAMPLET, evaluate the outcomes of CAMPLET and X-13ARIMA-SEATS in a controlled simulation framework using a variety of data generating processes, and illustrate CAMPLET and X-13ARIMA-SEATS with three time series: US non-farm payroll employment, operational income of Ahold and real GDP in the Netherlands. Furthermore they show how CAMPLET performs under the COVID-19 crisis, and its attractiveness in dealing with daily data. This book appeals to scholars and students of econometrics and statistics, interested in the application of statistical methods for empirical economic modeling.
Dette er boken om Gruppe 5 - et kunstnerfellesskap som besto av fem billedkunstnere, Ramon Isern (1914-1989), Lars Tiller (1924-1994), Roar Wold (1926-2001), Håkon Bleken (f. 1929) og Halvdan Ljøsne (1929-2006). De var tilknyttet arkitekturavdelingen ved tidligere NTH i Trondheim (Norges tekniske høgskole, nå NTNU). De var ansatt som lærere og felles for dem alle var en grunnleggende interesse for hvordan bygge et bilde rent formalestetisk. Med et modernistisk kunstsyn, og en akademisk tilnærming til billedproduksjonen, har disse fem kunstnerne satt sine spor i norsk kunsthistorie, men også i arkitekturhistorien gjennom sine lærergjerninger ved NTH. Deres pedagogiske virke bygget på en visuell orden. En post-Bauhaus abstraksjon med grunnprinsipper innen konstruksjon og struktur. Undervisningen var visuell, med praktiske oppgaver. Gjennom bruk av kull, sjablonger, collage og maling var målet å rydde i billedflaten for å skape orden.
Sulfate Attack on Concrete provides a comprehensive reference to this important subject. It covers: a short history of concrete deterioration due to sulfate attack, the origin of sulfates in concrete, the importance of appropriate concrete processing, forms and physical-chemical mechanisms of concrete deterioration due to sulfates, preventative measures, standardisation and numerous case histories. This book is an essential reference for industry practitioners involved in concrete science and engineering, and also for academics and researchers of materials science and concrete technology.

This book introduces, explains, and illustrates the theories, concepts, and methods needed for sound enterprise engineering. These are based on foundational insights, specifically those concerning the employee-centric theory of organization, which are put into practice by coherently and consistently applying them to enterprise design and change.The book consists of five main chapters, the first of which emphasizes the importance of linking foundational insights with the enterprise engineering design science for practicing them in enterprise design within the scope of enterprise governance concerned with enterprise change. Chapter 2 summarizes the necessary philosophical, ontological and ideological foundations of enterprise design and change. Subsequently, chapter 3 outlines essential aspects of enterprise change and describes the relation between enterprise governance and the process of enterprise design, while chapter 4 details the enterprise engineering design science and the actual enterprise design process, its various perspectives and both its intermediate and final results. Lastly, chapter 5 illustrates in detail the application of all the process steps in a single, extensive example. In this way, the book shows how all the cornerstones of enterprise design and change, as well as the employee-centric theory of organization can be applied.The book is mainly intended for students in areas such as business administration, management and organization science, governance, and enterprise and information systems design. However, professionals working in these areas will also benefit from the book, as it provides them with all the elements needed for engineering enterprise design, and details their application.
This book outlines the important foundational insights for enterprise governance and enterprise engineering, which are obviously provided by the social and organization sciences, but also by other sciences such as philosophy and information technology. It presents an employee-centric theory of organization in order to secure enterprise performance and also to comply with moral considerations about society and human individuals. This is necessary as prescriptions based on ‘best practices’ or the ‘best managed companies’ are often merely anecdotal, faddish, or controversial, and based on unsubstantiated pseudo-theories.The book consists of four main chapters, the first of which summarizes the importance of foundational insights for enterprises and explains the mutual relationships between the basic elements of enterprise governance and enterprise engineering. Next, chapter 2 explains the necessary philosophical foundations concerning knowledge, truth, language, and human existence. Subsequently, chapter 3 describes the ontological foundation and the nature of society and enterprises, as understanding their characteristics is a prerequisite for understanding and designing enterprises. Finally, chapter 4 approaches ideological foundations as beliefs and convictions, as they create specific requirements for the design of enterprises. In this way, the book covers all the cornerstones of the employee-centric theory of organization, drawing on foundational insights.The book is mainly intended for students specializing in areas such as business administration, management and organization science, governance, and enterprise and information systems design. However, professionals working in these areas will also benefit from the book, as it allows them to gain a deeper understanding of the theoretical foundations of their work and will thus help them to avoid strategic failures due to a lack of coherence and consistency between the various parts of their organization.
