Maintaining peace and security has during a long time been the goal and concern of the international community. What must be noticed is the fact that its concept is changing and adapting to the incessant changes of the world and therefore also the meaning of peace and security follows the same pattern of change. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has since its outset been an actor who
An analytical reading of the Nigerian and South African online debate regarding China’s engagement in Africa is here presented, with the purpose to contribute with knowledge from an African perspective. This thesis is a qualitative textual analysis of ideas where I have classified arguments from blogs and articles into different categories, compiled by Chris Alden, to view China in Africa as a dev
The thesis you are about to read concerns the expression ''court or tribunal of a Member State'' contained within Article 234 of the Treaty. While the Article is silent as to what is to define such a body, the European Court of Justice has ruled that it is for the Court to rule upon which bodies constitute a court or tribunal for the purposes of making a preliminary ruling referenc
This thesis explores the demanding subject of leadership at a distance. It aims at seeking answers to the question on how a relationship between a leader and his or her employees is kept at a distance through various channels of communication. Thus, it aims at contributing to the understanding of how to maintain purposeful work relations and trust in leadership at a distance, and improve the under
Background and Objectives: Hepatic resection of noncolorectal metastases appears to be performed with increasing frequency. Reported experience is limited and indications are controversial. Methods: Retrospective review of curative hepatic resection in 32 patients (median age 58 years) during 1970- 1995. The primary tumor was a carcinoid in seven patients, other endocrine tumor in five patients, m
As a result of increasing bacterial resistance against antibiotics, we are facing an emerging health crisis, in which ‘simple’ infections may no longer be treatable. One class of molecules attracting interest in this context is antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), and considerable research efforts have been directed to identifying selective and potent AMPs. In addition, since in vivo delivery of AMPs is
There is evidence that anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition enhances carbon (C) sequestration in boreal forest soils. However, it is unclear how free-living saprotrophs (bacteria and fungi, SAP) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi responses to N addition impact soil C dynamics. Our aim was to investigate how SAP and EM communities are impacted by N enrichment and to estimate whether these changes infl
Today, negative induced polarization (IP) time-domain responses and responses with non-standard shapes are generally considered as measurement errors and removed in data processing before inversion. However, synthetic and field measurements show that these responses are in fact physically possible and that a simple theoretical explanation of the basic mechanism for their origin can be found by mea
Background: Early-onset pancreatic cancer (< 50 years, EOPC) is uncommon and limited data exist on clinical presentation and long-term survival. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes between patients with EOPC and those with later-onset pancreatic cancer (≥ 50 years, LOPC) using a large population-based cohort. Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was qu
BACKGROUND: Glibenclamide (Gb) may provoke long-lasting hypoglycaemic reactions, and one of the known risk factors is impaired renal function. We have demonstrated Gb to have a terminal elimination half-life of 15 h, and the main metabolites have a hypoglycaemic effect. With few exceptions, detailed studies on second generation sulphonylureas in diabetics with impaired renal function are lacking.
Objectives: The overall aim of the Swedish Breast Reconstruction Outcome Study was to investigate national long-term outcomes after mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction. The current report evaluates breast reconstruction (BR) patterns in Sweden over time. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional, registry-based study where all women operated with mastectomy 2000, 2005, 2010 wer
Biochar has been extensively studied as a soil amendment for carbon sequestration and for improving soil quality; however, a systematic understanding of the responses of soil microbial biomass and diversity to biochar addition is lacking. Here, a meta-analysis of 999 paired data points from 194 studies shows that biochar increases microbial biomass but has variable effects on microbial diversity.
Introduction The potential impact of socio-economic condition on virological suppression during antiretroviral treatment (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa is largely unknown. In this case-control study, we compared socio-economic factors among Ethiopian ART recipients with lack of virological suppression to those with undetectable viral load (VL). Methods Cases (VL>1000 copies/ml) and controls (VL<150 c
A gendered reading of the liberal peacebuilding and transitional justice project in Bosnia–Herzegovina raises critical questions concerning the quality of the peace one hopes to achieve in transitional societies. By focusing on three-gendered justice gaps—the accountability, acknowledgement, and reparations gaps—this article examines structural constraints for women to engage in shaping and implem
Developments in medical technology and treatment have increased the survival rates of children with serious illnesses or injuries, including those receiving home mechanical ventilation, which is a small but growing group. The aim of this study was to explore everyday life experiences of children and young people living with home mechanical ventilation (HMV). Data were obtained through interviews w
Dispersal is a key process affecting population persistence and major factors affecting dispersal rates are the amounts, connectedness and properties of habitats in landscapes. We present new data on the butterfly Maniola jurtina in flower-rich and flower-poor habitats that demonstrates how movement and behaviour differ between sexes and habitat types, and how this effects consequent dispersal rat

XXXX, 1–39 © De Gruyter YYYY Numerical Methods for Unsteady Thermal Fluid Structure Interaction Philipp Birken and Azahar Monge Abstract. We discuss thermal fluid structure interaction processes, where a simulation of the time dependent temperature field is of interest. Thereby, we consider partitioned coupling schemes with a Dirichlet-Neumann method. We present an analysis of the method on a mode

Idag finns en uppfattning bland advokater och domare att dispositiva tvistemål ofta blir undanträngda av brottmål och indispositiva tvistemål samt att kommersiella tvistemål inte handläggs med tillräcklig effektivitet. Det finns fastslagit i rättegångsbalken att domstolen ska driva tvistemålsförberedelsen med inriktning på ett snabbt avgörande. Lagstiftaren har sedan rättegångsbalkens ikraftträdanToday, there is a perception among lawyers and judges that cases amenable to out-of-court settlement are often supplanted by criminal cases and cases that are not amenable to out-of-court settlement, and that commercial disputes are not handled with sufficient efficiency. In the Code of Judicial Procedure, it is stipulated that the court shall proceed with preparatory proceedings in the aim of a s
