In the Nordic states, feminist legal analyses have always been exceedingly concerned with issues of equality in the labour market.1 This preoccupation is not surprising because the Nordic feminist movement to a great extent has used equal rights to employment and equal wages in strategies for changing patriarchy and subordination. In the legal area, legislation prohibiting sex discrimination has a
Polonium-210 is an alpha particle emitting radioactive element with a half-life of 138 days. It appears at the end of the decay-chain of Uranium-238 where the long lived Lead-210 (22.3 a) decays to Bismuth-210, and finally Polonium-210. 210Po is introduced into the biosphere through various routes of terrestrial and marine radioecological pathways. The level of 210Po activity in drinking water (5
The R+−F+− Consistency problem takes as input two sets R+ and R− of resolved triplets and two sets F+ and F− of fan triplets, and asks for a distinctly leaf-labeled tree that contains all elements in R+ ∪ F+ and no elements in R− ∪ F− as embedded subtrees, if such a tree exists. This paper presents a detailed characterization of how the computational complexity of the problem changes under various
In the search for viable pathways for transforming governance and institutions in the Rio+20 agenda,strengthening of public‐private governance networks has been emphasized. Important initiatives arefound in the expanding bioenergy sector where several certification schemes have been launched forensuring that bioenergy feedstock meet environmental and social requirements. These initiatives areencou
We revisit the classical problem of when a given function, which is analytic in the upper half plane ℂ+, can be written as the Fourier transform of a function or distribution with support on a half axis (-∞, b], b∈ℝ.We derive slight improvements of the classical Paley-Wiener-Schwartz Theorem, as well as softer conditions for verifying membership in classical function spaces such as Hp(ℂ+).
Reading is based on the idea of Cultural Patterns, which happen to be the mostimportant tool of Cultural Criticism Forms. This means that reading has taken asystematic path to the Cultural Criticism that led to explosion of research in the most important Blogs in the Arab and Humanistic Heritage. Taking cue from this insight, researches argue that, the book of Kalila and Domna demonstrates the exi
The increase in the number of patients with diabetes has become a worldwide healthcare issue, with numbers predicted to reach approximately 600 million by 2035. In Asia-Pacific region, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has increased dramatically in recent decades, of which the major causes are believed to be modern lifestyle changes, e.g., Western dietary pattern and reduced physical activity, on
Purpose A degenerative meniscus lesion is a slowly developing process typically involving a horizontal cleavage in a middle-aged or older person. When the knee is symptomatic, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy has been practised for a long time with many case series reporting improved patient outcomes. Since 2002, several randomised clinical trials demonstrated no additional benefit of arthroscopi
It has been acknowledged that the traditional didactic lecture does not always provide the ideal learning and teaching experience (Bligh, 1998). Over the last ten years, individuals and institutions have been exploring the pedagogical possibilities of providing more active and engaging alternatives. One model in particular has been influential in sparking change. The use of Active Learning Spaces
The Agricola has long been a popular object of study for the connection that it makes between the British narrative of resistance against Roman domination and the Roman narrative of resistance against imperial domination. However, no agreement has been reached on the question of how exactly the two narratives 'affect' each other. Simultaneously, while it has often been remarked that Tacitus' langu
This article examines productivity growth in the Indonesian manufacturing sector. We use a longitudinal data set to calculate the effects on aggregate manufacturing productivity growth from improvements within establishments, from reallocation of market shares, and from the turnover of plants. Productivity growth is mainly explained by reallocation of market shares and from turnover of plants. Mor
Indonesia has been severely hurt by the recent economic crisis, which has been accompanied by social tensions. For a sustainable long-term recovery, it is essential that Indonesia attracts FDI inflows, and manages to achieve a reasonably equal spatial development. FDI is important since other capital funds are scarce and an equal spatial development is important to avoid social tensions. However,
With a specific emphasis on the imperial durbar as symbolic form and ritual content, the paper explores how the British, until 1857 in the guise of the East India Company, drew on and gradually adjusted local customs and notions of rightful authority as part of their annexation and subjection of South Asian polities. The paper suggests that the the imperial durbars of 1877, 1903 and 1911, as well
Fox hunting was, in the years preceding the First World War, a crucial part of rural English life, and a means of promoting a variety of ideologies associated with class, gender and rule. At this time, the anti-hunt movement was virtually nonexistent. Though the First World War was not a catalyst for a mass movement, it did occasion change, both materially in the hunting community and in societal
