The Millennium Development Goals were initiated to make countries take action for reduced poverty and better living standards for the poor and vulnerable in the world. One of the goals includes increasing Official Development Assistance to 0.7 percent of GDP. Only a few countries fulfill this and there are doubts whether aid reduces poverty and promotes growth or not. In this paper aid has been an

Drainage networks are the basis for segmentation of watersheds, an essential component in hydrological modelling, biogeochemical applications, and resource management plans. With the rapidly increasing availability of topographic information as digital elevation models (DEMs), there have been many studies on DEM-based drainage network extraction algorithms. Most of traditional drainage network ext

Objectives Concerns have been raised about poor-quality palliative care research and low publication rate from conference abstracts. The study objectives: to estimate the publication rate for European Association for Palliative Care research conference abstracts (2008) and explore associated characteristics and to understand reasons for non-publication.

The U.S. counterinsurgency – symbolised by the omnipresent killing eye of drones – as it expands from the battlefield to the monitor, is criticised for inaugurating a geographically unbounded war that subjects the everyday life of a population to wartime targeting calculation. We, however, claim that the significant feature of the so-called new technologies of looking and targeting is in their abi

Bidraget behandlar hur etnografi kan bedrivas i en mer kreativ riktning och vikten av att bryta mot inarbetade procedurer och normer inom forskning.

Kolinfosfolipider, en nyttig kostkomponent vid alkoholfettlever, NAFLD och NASH?Åke Nilsson, Rui-Dong DuanBakgrundKolin (trimetyletanolamin) ingår i fosfatidylkolin (PC) och sfingomyelin (SM) som finns i alla cellmembraner och i plasmalipoproteiner, och i acetylkolin. Även om levern bildar en del kolin klassas kolin som ett essentiellt näringsämne. Kolinbrist ger bl a fettlever, muskelsymptom och

Objective: Invasive treatment of intermittent claudication (IC) is commonly performed, despite limited evidence of its cost effectiveness. IC symptoms are mainly caused by atherosclerotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery (SFA), and endovascular treatment is performed frequently. The aim of this study was to investigate its cost effectiveness vs. non-invasive treatment. Methods: One hundre

In this paper I argue against the traditional view that truth-making distributes over entailment and present a novel account that takes truth-making to distribute over grounding between the existence of facts, thereby avoiding the shortcomings of the traditional view.

OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to describe the ultrasound features of various endometrial and other intracavitary pathologies in women without abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) using the International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) terminology. The secondary aim was to compare our findings with published data on women with AUB. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study of
