Penelope Delta was a writer of books for children in the beginning of the twentieth century in Greece. Delta was active when the national project was at its peak. Delta's own participation in the national project consisted of writing for children in a vernacular language and belonging to a group of intellectuals actively promoting modernization in other aspects than only political and technologica

Popular Abstract in Swedish Fetma, övervikt och allergi är ett problem i många delar av världen och förändringar i tarmens bakterieflora kan vara en av flera orsaker. Människan har tio gånger fler mikroorganismer än mänskliga celler. Flest mikroorganismer finns i tarmen och de brukar gemensamt kallas för tarmfloran. Många bakterier är helt oskadliga och en del är dessutom nödvändiga för att vi tilThe gastrointestinal tract of the foetus is considered sterile but during vaginal birth the neonate comes into contact with bacteria from the maternal vaginal and intestinal microbiota. The main focus of this doctoral thesis was to elucidate the initial bacterial ecosystem in newborns and to relate microbial perturbations to physiological traits. The bacterial flora was mainly studied with molecu

Background: Despite the fact that old people´s technological needs have been payed much attention to in the last decennium, especially old users of information- and communication technology, technology has not found its natural place in research on ageing in modern societies. Purpose: This article examines to what extent social science research exist in the field of ageing and technology and where

In this paper, we present an approach for acquiring textured 3D models of room-sized indoor spaces using a quadrocopter. Such room models are for example useful for architects and interior designers as well as for factory planners and construction man- agers. The model is internally represented by a signed distance function (SDF) and the SDF is used to directly track the camera with respect to the

Length and area regularization are commonplace for inverse problems today. It has however turned out to be much more difficult to incorporate a curvature prior. In this paper we propose two improvements to a recently proposed framework based on global optimization. The mesh geometry is analyzed both from a theoretical and experimental viewpoint and hexagonal meshes are shown to be superior. Our se

Cities divided by violent conflict, such as Mostar, Beirut and Nicosia, have proved remarkably resistant to peacebuilding efforts aimed at reconstruction, reintegration and reconciliation. Such cities tend to freeze the conflict, as it remains divided regardless of a conflict settlement. Contested cities therefore become symbols of the continuities rather than discontinuities between war and peace
