Rent control measures are typically in place to assist low-income households and decrease segregation. Yet, there is little empirical research on the social impact of such policies and specifically the role of how rent-controlled apartments are allocated. This study analyzes the income-distributional effects of rent control with a novel dataset that includes characteristics of those who received r

We demonstrated the use of a neutron grating interferometer setup (nGI) with a significantly improved contrast-to-noise ratio of the operando dark-field (DF) contrast visualization of water in gas diffusion media (GDM). The nGI parameters were optimized in such a way that we could perform DF imaging of a fully operational fuel cell including two GDM layers (anode and cathode side). The DF contrast

This article introduces the special issue on digital disruption in diplomacy. We propose a new research agenda, advancing novel conceptualisations and empirical insights into the hybrid nature of contemporary diplomatic practices in a broad range of areas such as peace-making, inter-state signalling, domestic politics, digital communication, public diplomacy and popular culture. Emphasising the ma

With a critical focus on the interpretative work of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, this article sets out the parameters of applying non-discrimination under article 2(2) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in conjunction with article 11(1) on the right to adequate housing to discrimination suffered by migrants and refugees in access to exis

This study focuses on the influence of inhomogeneous corrosion on the quasi-static and cyclic properties of an Mg−Y−Nd alloy. Uniform corrosion is essential for biodegradable implant materials to avoid notching effects and premature failure. Previous studies on extruded Mg−3Y−3RE have shown a pitting tendency in Ringer’s solution at 37 °C. Tensile tests on pre-corroded samples with different corro

SammanfattningFör induktion av hypertermi i klinisk praxis i LUND utvecklade vi ett 2450 MHz mikrovågssystem, som har använts sedan augusti 1980. 1982 lade vi till frekvensen 915 MHz, och sedan 1986 har vi även 434 MHz tillgängligt. Ett styrsystem baserat på en dator justerar temperaturen i vävnaden genom att alternera temperaturregistrering och mikrovågsstrålning. Konventionella termistorsonder (

Child first language acquisition (L1A) and adult second language acquisition (SLA) have observably different outcomes. Considering how distinct the two acquisition contexts often are, divergence is perhaps not surprising. Only adults acquiring a second language (L2) (i) are typically not surrounded by high quantities of native input, (ii) receive and must filter through significant amounts of non-

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer that lacks the expression of the oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and amplification of HER2. This subtype is the most aggressive subtype and a heterogeneous subgroup of breast cancer, making up around 10-15% of the cases, often affecting younger patients

Abstract in UndeterminedAn interlaboratory study on measurement of evaporative resistance (Ret) with thermal manikins has been conducted in order to assess the repeatability and reproducibility limits as a function of mean resistance values, when using similar test protocols (ASTM F2370). Three independent laboratories tested seven clothing ensembles, with Ret ranging from very low to very high va

Self-tuning control of the dissolved oxygen concentration has been tested in full scale at the Käppala Sewage Works at Lidingö, Sweden. The controller has been shown to be robust during varying operating conditions. It also gives the potential for the estimation of interesting variables, such as the oxygen uptake rate. A number of water quality variables have been examined. Interesting couplings b

Abstract in Italian Sono qui messi a confronto due modelli per l’analisi dei Vangeli da un punto di vista retorico: l’utilizzo delle categorie retoriche dei Progymnasmata ellenistici e «la retorica biblica e semitica». Si sostiene che l’utilizzo di un modello non escluda l’utilizzo dell’altro, ma che anzi si completino a vicenda. Un’analisi dell’ultima cena in Lc 22,11-38 serve a illustrare l’uso Two approaches to the rhetorical analysis of Gospel texts are being compared in this essay: on the one hand, the use of the rhetorical categories of the Hellenistic Progymnasmata, and on the other, «Biblical and semitic rhetoric». It is argued that these two approaches are not mutually exclusive, but complementary. The last supper in Luke 22,14-38 functions as a test case. An introduction offers s

The article examines the reception of Old Testament motifs in the so called "Hymn of the Pearl" (preserved in Syriac and Greek as part of the apocryphal Acts of Thomas). Ideas taken up for study include the use of "Egypt" as a symbol of spiritual bondage, the legacy of the West Semitic Chaoskampf motif, the link to Ezekiel 32:2, etc. The main thrust of the article is the transformation of ancient
