Mothers carry the prime responsibility for childcare and feeding in low-income countries. Understanding their experiences in providing food for their children is paramount to informing efforts to improve the nutritional status of children. Such information is lacking in Sub-Saharan Africa. To understand what influences urban mothers' food acquisition and their motivations for selecting food for th

This paper contains the analysis of the transmission problem with a spherical, dielectric (possibly lossy) shell. The sources to the problem are located inside the spherical, dielectric shell. Two different source configurations are investigated - an off-center located electric dipole and a circular Huygens surface. An exact modal series solution of the transmission problem is found and the solutiThis paper contains the analysis of the transmission problem with a spherical,dielectric (possibly lossy) shell.

Due to the ability to manipulate photons at nanoscale, plasmonics has become one of the most important branches in nanophotonics. The prerequisites for the technological application of plasmons include high confining ability (λ0/λp), low damping, and easy tunability. However, plasmons in typical plasmonic materials, i.e., noble metals, cannot satisfy these three requirements simultaneously and cau

The application of remote sensing methods to assess crop vigor and yields has had limited applications in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due largely to limitations associated with satellite images. The increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles in recent times opens up new possibilities for remotely sensing crop status and yields even on complex smallholder farms. This study demonstrates the applicabili

En specifik typ av metaforer i svensk dikt, där ord för triviala ting krockar med ord för höga, abstrakta ting härleds till den tyske diktaren Jean Paul (1763 - 1825), och visas i Tegnérs, C F Dahlgrens, E A Karlfeldts, Birger Sjöbergs och Tomas Tranströmer dikter. Metafortypen är förbunden med en teologisk idé om metaforens möjlighet att överskrida gränsen mellan det jordiska och det himmelska.

Under slutet av 1500-talet och början av 1600-talet utgjorde La Rochelle den viktigaste reformerta enklaven i Frankrike. I denna artikel studerar jag hur religionsstriderna, både de faktiska händelserna och de olika rykten som cirkulerade, framträdde i den reformerta prästen Jacques Merlins anteckningar från 1589 till 1620.
