When Gomułka came to power, cruises to the West, mainly on the Baltic Sea, were allowed on the "Mazowsze" tourist ship. It usually passed Bornholm and moored at a safe distance from the island, so that cruisers could see the hostile West, but they did not taste it. In August 1957, on the first day of the layover, two young men jumped off the ship and swam a few hundred meters to Snogebaek south of

Abstract: Optical flow provides an opportunity to elevate the resolution and sensitivity of deflection sensing in background-oriented schlieren (BOS). Despite extensive relevant literature within the field of computer vision, there is a lack of proper quantification of its abilities and limitations with regard to the state-of-the-art BOS experiments. Thus, this study performs an assessment of accu

A new class of palladium complexes bearing bidentate 2-hydroxypyridine based ligands have been prepared and fully characterized. The applications of these new complexes towards ketone alkylation reactions with alcohols through a metal-ligand cooperative borrowing-hydrogen (BH) process were demonstrated.

Soil stabilisation techniques often use cement or lime asstabilising agents. Lately there has been an increase inusing blended binders. Mixing cement with slag or cementwith ¯y ash has gained in popularity. The prime purposeof blending binders is to reduce the costs. Other aims areto use waste material or to produce a new binder withbetter properties. Blending binders does not automaticallyresult

The interaction of alkali ions with multilayer graphene is critical in many applications, for example in energy storage devices. This requires a detailed understanding of ion interactions with carbonaceous layers. The mechanism of ion intercalation into graphene can be different from that observed for hard graphite. In this paper, we present an investigation of the vertical alkali ion (Na, K, Cs)

Static program analysis plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and security of software applications by detecting and fixing bugs, and potential security vulnerabilities in the code. The use of declarative paradigms in dataflow analysis as part of static program analysis has become increasingly popular in recent years. This is due to its enhanced expressivity and modularity, allowing for a h

Corporate net-zero emission pledges have multiplied in recent years, with estimates suggesting that more than 1000 companies have made such commitments. While seemingly indicative of companies stepping up to address climate change, critics have argued that pledges may be mere greenwashing if they rely on excessive offsetting and legitimise business-as-usual. Considerable grey and academic literatu

This article explores transnational anti-gender networking promoting “the natural family.” We focus on the World Congress of Families (WCF) and investigate how it is organized transnationally. We draw on international relations theory on challenges to the liberal international order as well as on theories on transcalar activism. The empirical material includes observations from two conferences and

This article concerns legal representatives’ negotiations around the principle of children’s best interests and children’s right to participation according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in cases of families applying for asylum in Sweden. Using material from nine interviews with children’s advocates, we analyse their strategies for obtaining narratives from children without putting

In this article, we analyse initiatives by and on behalf of undocumented migrants through Hannah Arendt’s notions of action and fabrication. We take three initiatives from the city of Malmö, Sweden, as our empirical examples: a musical, a relay, and a tent-camp action. By showing how these initiatives involve not only action and speech but also a fabrication of things, including works of art, we e

In the following article, based on two years of participatory ethnographic field-work with the No-border musical, as well as interviews with 16 of the musical’s 30 participants, community theatre is investigated in a context of deportability. We analyse the working process in the theatre group, in which actors with and without resident permits participated, through the concept of politics of trans

I den här utvärderingsrapporten analyseras ett urval av de totalt 100 projekt som ingått i Arvsfondens Nyanländasatsning som syftar till att stärka nyanlända barns och ungas etablering och delaktighet i samhället. Rapporten bygger på tre delstudier. En dokumentstudie bestående av ansökningshandlingar, årsrapporter och i förekommande fall slutrapporter från projekten, en enkät omfattande 89 av sats

Uppsatsen är en kartografisk analys av en dom från Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen 2017 gällande rätten till stöd från Socialtjänsten för den som saknar uppehållstillstånd i Sverige (HFD 2017 ref. 33). Fallet gällde två barn och deras mamma vilka saknade formell rätt att vistas i Sverige och därför levde som gömda. Familjen ansökte om bistånd enligt socialtjänstlagen (2001:453) (SoL) i form av fö

The laser host materials undergo relatively small changes in their intrinsic properties due to various sources during an experiment. These sources are often related to temperature change and vibrations due to crystal mounting, which may cause stress-induced birefringence in laser host materials. Birefringence is a phenomenon that causes optical anisotropy due to external load or residual stress. A

Mechanical behavior of meniscus can be modeled using constitutive material models of varying complexity, such as isotropic elastic or fibril reinforced poroelastic (FRPE). However, the FRPE material is complex to implement, computationally demanding in 3D geometries, and simulation is time-consuming. Hence, we aimed to quantify the most suitable and efficient constitutive model of meniscus for sim

Birds breeding in urban environments have lower reproductive output compared to rural conspecifics, most likely because of food limitation. However, which characteristics of urban environments may cause this deficiency is not clear. Here, we investigated how tree composition within urban territories of passerine birds is associated with breeding probability and reproductive success. We used 7 year
