The EU’s provisions on cooperation in criminal matters have long allowed for greater flexibility than in other (less sensitive) policy areas. Despite their formal integration into the realm of supranational law under the Lisbon Treaty, they remain subject to some intergovernmental features which are being preserved from the previous pillar structure pre-Lisbon. In particular, this includes opt-out

Objective: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in adolescence is associated with increased risk of future osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of this study was to study clinical and radiographic risk factors for early cartilage degeneration after SCFE. Design: 22 patients (44 hips) (mean age 24 years, range 18-27) treated with in situ fixation (The Hansson hook-pin) for stable SCFE on average 11

Thomas Mathiesen’s theories, his activism and his scholarship are needed, important and useful for contemporary researchers concerned with social change and social justice. At this moment in time, when strong social movements and abolitionism are back on the agenda, Mathiesen’s theories can not only be revitalised, but moved forward in the everlasting unfinished fashion. Mathiesen’s work might be

We discuss the stochastic gravitational-wave spectrum from dark confinement and chiral phase transitions in the early Universe. Specifically, we look at pure Yang-Mills theory for an arbitrary number of colours as well as SU(3) with quarks in different representations. We utilise thermodynamic Lattice data and map it to effective models, such as the Polyakov-loop and the PNJL model. This allows us

Samples of Fucus serratus and Fucusvesiculosus taken in Swedish coastal waters have beenanalysed for Gd by ICP-MS. The results for one site withfrequent sampling show significantly increasing levelsduring the last 30 years, most likely a result of theincreasing use of Gd-containing contrast agents for MR-imaging at hospitals and other health care institutions.Samples taken at the west-, south- and

Radioembolization with 166Ho microspheres is a minimally invasive procedure in which radioactive microspheres are administered directly to liver tumor via the hepatic artery during an interventional radiological procedure. Scout and therapeutic doses of 166Ho were delivered to patients in 2022 and 2023 at VilniusUniversity Hospital Santaros Klinikos. The presented study was aimed at investigating

Cian Duffy’s chapter is concerned with the Danish poet and dramatist Adam Oehlenschläger, often identified as Denmark’s leading Romantic-period writer. Duffy focuses on an early instance of Oehlenschläger’s reception in England: an essay on contemporary German drama by Julius Charles Hare in the first and only number of Charles Ollier’s Literary Miscellany. Drawing also on theories about the relat

This article questions certain assumptions on the intellectual history of modern Islam and on one of the most influential modern reform movements, the Salafiyya. By looking at the Sufi origins of one of the main Salafi reformers, it relativizes the notion of an inherent anti-Sufism of this reform movement. The article examines how Muhammad 'Abduh (1849-1905), the famous Egyptian reformer, conver

The scope of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 SustainableDevelopment Goals is unprecedented. So is the broad ambition expressed in thisagreement. While the United Nations has rarely shied away from declaring farreaching policy aspirations in the past, the 2030 Agenda sets the bar high –possibly higher than it has ever been before, with ambitious goals to end hungerand poverty

This paper investigates the confluence of artificial intelligence (AI), the performing arts, and emotion communication, focusing on how generative AI and social robotics – today’s forefront disruptive technologies – can facilitate an exploration of emotional dynamics across artistic mediums. Drawing on the intermedial and multimodal capacities of opera, this paper presents AI-enhanced opera as a p
