Abstract in UndeterminedEconomic development that includes investments in infrastructure and buildings requires energy intensive basic materials such as steel and cement. The production capacity of these industries is also growing most rapidly in developing countries [WEC, 1995 #41]. Energy intensive industries typically account for a relatively small share of the value-added in industry but a rel

Myelin-sensitive quantitative (q) MRI techniques including MT (3D FLASH) and DTI (single-shot STEAM) are of growing importance to study white matter (WM) disorders in childhood. Cerebral folate transport deficiency is an inherited, treatable WM disorder with hypomyelination, developmental regression, movement disturbances, and epilepsy. One patient with this diagnosis and severe phenotype was trea

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the added value of using temperature-dependent electric and magnetic properties in high-Temperature electromagnetic simulations. Design/methodology/approach - In this work, the electromagnetic properties of Domex 420, SSAB, have been characterized as a function of the temperature, from room temperature to 900°C. The measurement of the electric a

Modelling tools used in impact assessment procedures can be regarded as tools for communication between science and policy. In order to create an integrated system for modelling not only the scientific components have to be in place but also the science/policy interfaces in the assessment procedures have to be identified and their social dynamics understood.To make a system like SEAMLESS Integrate

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur begreppet religion kan klargöras eller definieras är en mycket omtvistad fråga inom åtskilliga akademiska discipliner. Två huvudsakliga negativa tendenser är märkbara inom gängse och aktuell teoribildning. För det första har det framkastats en mängd divergerande definitionsförslag under årens lopp. Detta har bland annat lett till en teoretisk uppgivenhet inför uppgiIt is a contested question in contemporary theories of religion whether the concept of religion can be defined in a sound way or not. Many theorists maintain that a universal but delimiting definition is impossible. In this study, by contrast, it is argued that a conceptual analysis of religion that holds universally is perfectly possible because the following thesis can be seen as a necessary and

The aim of this article was to analyze the retold experiences of 27 survivors from the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I have examined verbal markers of reconciliation and implacability and I have analyzed described terms for reconciliation that are being actualized in the narratives. In the narratives of those interviewed, implacability is the prominent them, but the possibility of reconcili

Bytecode folding is an effective technique for speeding up execution in Java virtual machines. This paper investigates a hardware implementation of the aforementioned technique on BlueJEP, a Java embedded processor. Since BlueJEP is a micro-programmed stack machine, we adopt a micro-instruction oriented approach, folding up to four microinstructions (corresponding to up to four bytecodes, on occas

Den offentliga statistiken inom äldreomsorgsområdet är för närvarande begränsad till mängdstatistik (Statistik - socialtjänst 2000:5, Socialstyrelsen 2000 och Hälso- och sjukvårdsstatistisk årsbok 1999, Socialstyrelsen 2000). Från denna statistik erhålles uppgifter om antalet äldre som får vård och hjälp fördelade på ålder, kön och vårdinsats samt vårdkostnader. För att få insikt i äldreomsorgssys

Popular Abstract in Swedish NÄR ÖRESUNDSBRON INVIGDES ÅR 2000 nådde förväntningarna på dansk-svensk integration sin kulmen. Prognoser och framtidsspekulationer haglade. Nyhetsbrev, reklamkampanjer, webbplatser och konferenser producerades på löpande band. Öresundsbron förenade Öresundsregionen. Öresundsregionen förenade skåningar och själlänningar. Tillsammans skulle de forna broderfolken skapa enThe Öresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden was inaugurated in the year 2000, connecting the city of Malmö and the Danish capital Copenhagen. The bridge was an important move towards the visionary realisation of a transnational Öresund Region. In this dissertation the communicative aspects of the regional process are put in focus. The vision of the Öresund Region that developed during the 1990s

Objective. Intrauterine growth restriction ( IUGR) resulting in low birth weight for gestational age may predispose one to development of cardiovascular disease later in life. Abnormal fetal blood flow in the presence of fetal growth restriction helps to distinguish infants with true fetal growth impairment from small but normal infants. Our goal was to investigate associations between IUGR with a

This report presents results regarding fear of crime amongst young people in a small Swedish town, Ljungby. It also considers the experience of violence and other types of crime. A questionnaire was distributed to 320 students in upper secondary school during October 2001. The results from these questionnaires shows that female students more often than male students state that they are worried whe

In this study, we explored the implications of a groundwater development project on women's workload and their experience of marital violence in a Bangladesh village. We believe that the project facilitated irrigation water but also that it resulted in seasonal domestic water shortages. Men used deep motorized pumps for irrigation, and women used shallow handpumps for domestic purposes. Many handp
