As of 2014, villages in the provinces where metropolitan municipalities ruled in Turkey have been transformed into the status of neighborhood administration and the practice of providing services to rural settlements has been started by municipalities. Significant exceptions and exemptions had to be granted for five years in order to protect rural dwellers against local obligations. However, after
Ethicisation refers to the tendency to frame issues in ethical terms and can be observed in different areas of society, particularly in relation to policy-making on emerging technologies. The turn to ethics implies increased use of ethics expertise, or at least an expectation that this is the case. Calling for experts on ethics when ethically complicated questions need to be handled helps us to upEthicisation refers to the tendency to frame issues in ethical terms and can be observed in different areas of society, particularly in relation to policy-making on emerging technologies.

OBJECTIVE: To explore how lifestyle and demographic, socioeconomic and disease-related factors are associated with supervised exercise adherence in an osteoarthritis (OA) management programme and their ability to explain exercise adherence.METHODS: A cohort register-based study on participants from the 'Swedish Osteoarthritis Registry' who attended the exercise part of a nationwide Swedish OA mana
The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of appropriate management of acute orbital trauma, in order to prevent permanent impaired vision and double vision. Orbital blowout fractures with entrapment, so-called trapdoor fractures, occur more often in children than in adults, and require immediate surgical intervention. A blowout fracture with impingement, so-called open door fract
Local coexistence of bees has been explained by flower resource partitioning, but coexisting bumblebee species often have strongly overlapping diets. We investigated if light microhabitat niche separation, underpinned by visual traits, could serve as an alternative mechanism underlying local coexistence of bumblebee species. To this end, we focused on a homogeneous flower resource—bilberry—in a he
Abstract in GreekΠερίληψηΟ Μηχανισμός των Αντικυθήρων αποτελεί ένα μοναδικό εύρημα. Η έρευνά του απασχολεί επιστήμονες προερχόμενους από ένα ευρύ φάσμα ειδικοτήτων και τα αποτελέσματά της φανερώνουν τον ανεπτυγμένο βαθμό της επιστημονικής εξέλιξης της εποχής, που κατασκευάστηκε ο Μηχανισμός, ξαναγράφοντας την ιστορία της τεχνολογίας. Μετά από έναν και πλέον αιώνα από την εύρεση του, αρχαιολόγοι επ
Well-designed block copolymers with a controlled co-continuous microphase morphology can be applied as efficient anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for fuel cells and water electrolyzers. In the present work, we have prepared and studied a series of BAB triblock copolymers consisting of a central cationic polyfluorene A block with flanking hydrophobic polystyrene B blocks, where the fluorene units of
The Antikythera Wreck represents a unique example of implementation and development of technological methods and systems aiding archaeological research. Since 1900, when the wreck was discovered, the challenges posed by the underwater environment and the variety of archaeological data hidden in the multifarious artifacts has been yielding great opportunities for technological innovation. Research
For more than a century the research on the Antikythera Mechanism engaged scientists from a widerange of scientific disciplines searching for clues, in order to solve the mystery that this unique ar-chaeological find poses. The results so far have been spectacular enough to re-write the History ofTechnology providing new aspects on the degree of technological sophistication and scientific de-velop
Shakespeare's Hamlet has been retold in children's versions several times in Sweden in recent years. It was the subject of the first episode of the children's television programme På teatern [At the Theatre], written and directed by Christina Nilsson for SVT in 2001–2002, where Shakespearean actors meet their child or grandchild backstage after a performance to tell and partly enact the story of t
For the first time in the latest Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), water has been the focus of dedicated chapters in both Working Group 1 (Chapter 8) and 2 (Chapter 4). Nevertheless, we argue here that water has not yet received the full attention it deserves from both scientists and policymakers for several reasons. Firstly, the historical focus on tempera
I rapporten underlaget presenteras grundläggande utgångspunkter och verktyg för studier som baseras på kvantitativa metoder. Avsikten är i första hand att komplettera kurslitteraturen på området och visa hur kvantitativa analysmetoder kan nyttjas i samband med socialpolitiskt inriktade studier. Syftet är också att öka kunskapen och förmågan att bearbeta och värdera statistik om sociala förhållande
BACKGROUND: Influenza is a contagious viral airborne disease that adds to the clinical and economic burden on the healthcare system. It could be prevented substantially by seasonal influenza vaccination. Seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness (SIVE) varies a lot and should therefore be monitored. This report aims to update age-stratified SIVE estimates among patients hospitalized due to severe a
