The Japanese government managed to implement the Act on the Protection of Specially Designated Secrets (SDS) in late 2014, making it easier for government agencies to withhold information. The debate that was ignited by the SDS is central to this thesis. Existing research on the SDS can be characterized as a battle for truth, with a focus on the superficial effects of the law. In contrast, this pa
Media combinations of different basic media types are always, literally, intermedial combinations that involve intermedial relations between different forms of communication. This chapter looks at how words and images on pages convey a graphic narrative in comics. In the specific case of comics, scholars have attempted to categorize different types of interaction between words and images, which cr
In recent years, the manipulation of Fano resonances in the time domain has unlocked deep insights into a broad spectrum of systems' coherent dynamics. Here, inelastic scattering of light with coherent acoustic phonons is harnessed to achieve complex Fano resonances. The sudden change of phonon momentum during reflection leads to a transition from anti-Stokes to Stokes light scattering, producing
This paper summarizes the development and application of degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM), polarization spectroscopy (PS) and laser-induced thermal grating spectroscopy (LITGS) in the mid-infrared spectral region for combustion diagnostics over the last decade.
OBJECTIVE: Familial risks of depression have been assessed in small case-control studies, usually based on reported, but not medically verified, depressions in family members; thus the degree of familial clustering of these diseases remains to be established.METHODS: The Multigeneration Register, in which all men and women born in Sweden from 1932 onward are registered together with their parents,
The activity and operational stability of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH) and αchymotrypsin were investigated in three systems commonly used for biocatalysis in organic solvents: 1. enzyme adsorbed on a solid support (celite) and added to the organic solvent (isooctane) 2. enzyme powder directly added to the organic solvent (isooctane). 3. enzyme dissolved in a microemulsion (AOT/isoocta
This paper looks at strategic responses to climate change mitigation of electricity distribution companies in the National Electricity Market in Australia. The work uses institutional theory, resource dependence theory and aspects of stakeholder management theories and dynamic capabilities theory to describe and analyse current strategies of distribution companies in response to climate change mit
[utdrag] Det är mycket svårt att vid en första anblick försöka fånga begreppet legosoldat. Hur vi än väljer att se på legosoldaten och hans verksamhet är det föga troligt att han kommer att försvinna inom den närmsta framtiden och det internationella samfundet blir således tvunget att på något sätt ta ställning till denna verksamhet. Före nationalstatens bildande tävlade andra identiteter än den
Massive expansion of erythroid progenitor cells is essential for surviving anemic stress. Research towards understanding this critical process, referred to as stress-erythropoiesis, has been hampered due to the lack of specific marker-combinations enabling analysis of the distinct stress-progenitor cells capable of providing radioprotection and enhanced red blood cell production. Here we present a
Objective: To assess whether there is an association between total prescribed dosage of resistance exercise (volume, frequency, intensity, and duration) and change in pain and physical function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Method: A systematic review with meta-regression was conducted, searching MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials until December
Swedish stakeholders have expressed their opinions in an interview study on the three most necessary, existing, or non-existing, policy and regulatory measures to accelerate the transition to emission-free electric freight transports with Heavy Duty Trucks (HDTs) in regional operation in Sweden. The study has been carried out as part of a Swedish system demonstration project, REEL, that includes m
In his ‘Provocation in Philosophy and Art’ Dan Egonsson argues that provocation is integral to Socrates’ way of doing philosophy both when aiming for (the interlocutor’s) personal moral development and as an instrument for societal change, and that provocation in art differs significantly from its Socratic counterpart. Morally dubious provocation in art can, however, Egonsson argues be justified o
In this book, it is explained that despite a current drop in the number of deaths, terrorism should still be considered a serious and widespread problem. However, the responses to this phenomenon are often more problematic from a long-term perspective. With the human rights framework under serious pressure, this edited volume offers a timely, important and critical in-depth analysis of human digni
Research into the psychology of language learning (PLL) can make important contributions to the knowledge base of the teaching profession. However, impact can be hampered by conceptual accessibility. One way to enhance accessibility is to enable practitioners to encounter research through a smaller number of “big ideas”. A “big idea” is a core idea that connects subfields and links disciplinary un
