The development of cutting tools requires the knowledge of tribological phenomena at the tool – workpiece contact area. This knowledge is in dearth particularly for difficult-to-cut alloys like gamma titanium aluminide (gamma – TiAl alloys). Therefore, this article is an attempt to plug the gap and aid the development of cutting tools for gamma – TiAl alloys. To this end, friction, adhesion, and c

New visionary concepts need to be created to enhance the pursuit of sustainable development at a global scale, to respond to policies and international multilateral agreements in line with political commitments already made (like the Millennium Development Goals) and innovative approaches are called for to ensure the coherence of integrated policy-making at EU level.

Methods Patients who had undergone surgery for rectal cancer with curative intention between 2011 and 2014 were extracted from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry. Patients with positive lymph nodes, undisclosed TD status, stage IV disease, non-radical resections, or any o

While emigration and population displacements have long been a feature of Iraqi history, this article argues that the 2003 Anglo-American intervention in Iraq and its legacy has contributed to the gradual disappearance of many non-Muslim Iraqi minorities from Iraq. Though the legacy of 2003 can be attributed to a confluence of domestic and geopolitical factors, it is argued here that the 2003 inte

Objective: To investigate whether tumor deposits (TDs) in rectal cancer are associated withincreased recurrence risk and decreased survival.Summary background data: Tumor deposits (TDs) are considered a risk factor forrecurrence after colon cancer resection and presence of TDs prompts adjuvant chemotherapy.The prognostic relevance of TDs in rectal cancer requires further exploration.Methods: All p

I Särskilda boende för äldre (SÄBO) vistas både boende i sin bostad och personal som har boendet somsin arbetsplats. Det är viktigt att SÄBO utformas energieffektivt och på ett sätt som möjliggör att bådagrupperna får en god inomhusmiljö. De regelverk som finns tillgängliga för att åstadkomma detta, bådeavseende inomhusmiljö och energianvändning för varmvatten, skiljer sig åt mellan boende ocharbe

Sustainability of Swedish meat consumption is assessed from the perspectives of nutrition, health, climate and land use. Our results suggest that more sustainable food systems can be achieved via changes in Swedish meat consumption and that our multidimensional approach can be useful in identifying such changes.

The ASEAN Economic Community is envisaged to promote economic integration initiatives to create a single market across Southeast Asian member countries. It is acknowledged that the intergovernmental initiatives need to be accommodative to national and regional contexts. Thailand, as a pivotal and active partnership, endeavors to facilitate economic transformation and regional integration within th

Media portrayal of older adults is an expression of social realities and expectations, and the image of ageing has significant implications for intergenerational relations. A life course perspective is suggested for viewing old age as the final stage of successive lifespan development and investigating the social meaning of old age through comparisons of life stages. This article focuses on the vi
