Compared to intensive research on km-sized meteorite impact craters, fewer studies focus on smaller craters. The small craters are often hard or impossible to recognize using “classical” criteria like the presence of shatter cones, shocked quartz, and geochemical indicators. Therefore, a long list of candidate structures awaiting approval/disapproval of their origin has been formed over the last d
In A Transnational History of the Australian Animal Movement, Gonzalo Villanueva covers the important events that led to the addition of an entirely new issue to the political agenda, transforming the conditions of nonhuman animals into a matter of public concern. Grounded in transnational history, social movement studies, and the emerging field of critical animal studies, A Transnational History
The peak-to-valley (PTV) method was investigated experimentally comparing PTV ratios for three HPGe detectors, with complementary Monte Carlo simulations of scatter in air for larger source-detector distances. The measured PTV ratios for 137Cs in air were similar for three different detectors for incident angles between 0 and 90°. The study indicated that the PTV method can differentiate between s
PURPOSE:: To investigate how patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration treated with ranibizumab or bevacizumab respond to treatment in daily clinical practice. METHODS:: Data from the Swedish Macula Register on the treatment received by 3,912 patients during 2011 to 2014 is reported.

Housing politics is a social geographical and ideological battlefield; where housing is seen as a strategic tool and an investment object rather than an essential framework for human lifeworlds. Housing and home is the place where we meet our basic ecological and social needs. A responsible housing politics should therefore not conceive – and instrumentally use – housing as an exclusion mechanism
Background and purpose: Recent studies have shown that it is possible to conduct entire radiotherapy treatment planning (RTP) workflow using only MR images. This study aims to develop a generalized intensity-based method to generate synthetic CT (sCT) images from standard T2-weighted (T2w) MR images of the pelvis. Materials and methods: This study developed a generalized dual model HU conversion m
This paper explores the opportunities of developing innovative approaches for new types of social policies aimed at the most marginalized and socially excluded communities that live in the North-Eastern Bulgarian Region of Shumen. The study focuses on the processes of transition and the social conditions in post-communist Bulgaria, the reasons for marginalization, and seeks an appropriate model fo
Denna studie har som syfte att undersöka hur undervisningen och betygsättningen ser ut i kursen instrument eller sång i förhållande till läroplan för gymnasieskola 2011 och om den inneburit att lärarna förändrat sitt pedagogiska arbete. Jag vill dessutom ta reda på om den nya läroplanen medfört någon statusförändring av kursen eller lärarrollen. Jag har genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med tre insThe aim of this essay is to study how the teaching and grading of the course instrument or singing correspond with the curriculum for upper secondary school 2011 and if it has meant that the teachers have changed their pedagogical work. My aim is also to find out if the new curriculum brought any change to the status of the course and the teacher’s role. I have made qualitative interviews with thr
Uppsatsen utreder den nya tillämpningen av artikel 22 i koncentrationsförordningen. Fokus ligger på att undersöka de osäkerhetsmoment som uppstår för parterna i en transaktionsprocess genom den nya bredare tillämpningen av artikeln. Det ändrade tillämpningsområdet innebär en helomvändning från EU-kommissionens tidigare tankesätt och väletablerade praxis. Förändringen har som syfte att modernisera This essay examines the new application of article 22 of the EC Merger Regulation, especially the uncertainties that thereby arise for parties in mergers and acquisitions. The article’s new application is a clear change to the European Commission's own policy and practice regarding the application of the provision. The purpose of the change is to modernize the EU merger regulation to detect an
Despite the hegemonic status of global health governance that favors the high-income countries (HICs), global health diplomacy (GHD) as a critical tool to manage health is an understudied subject particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This research illustrates how GHD is exercised in Indonesia by exploring the actors, their capacities, and the surrounding context. The aim of the
Different actors identified the circular economy (CE) as a solution to tackle global environmental challenges and foster sustainable growth. Transitioning to CE requires new circular business models (CBM), which create, capture, and deliver value, based on the principles of the CE. It is, however, a challenging process for companies see through the wide variety of CBM types and to identify which C

Intimate partner violence has been described as a public health problem in Sweden and has recently been given attention by the media due to an increase of domestic violence during the Covid-19 pandemic. Discussions about intimate partner violence, both in media and science, have mostly centred around female exposure to such violence, leaving little room for discussions about male victimization. Th

Fri rörlighet för varor och konsumentskydd utgör två centrala intressen inom EU. Emellertid är det inte ovanligt att det uppstår en konflikt mellan de två intressena. Ett exempel på en sådan konflikt är regleringen av produktmärkning på mottagarlandets språk. Regleringen av produktmärkning på mottagarlandets språk syftar främst till att skydda konsumenter genom att se till att information om en The free movement of goods and consumer protection are two key interests within the EU. However, it is not unusual that a conflict occurs between the two interests. An example of such a conflict is the regulation of product labelling in the language of the recipient country. The regulation of product labelling in the language of the recipient country primarily aims to protect consumers by ensuri
