ObjectiveAs part of our research on Swedish school principals, we examined the concurrent validity between the Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale (KEDS) and the Lund University Checklist for Incipient Exhaustion (LUCIE) in a cross-sectional study sample (N = 2670). Specifically, we examined: (a) to what extent LUCIE and KEDS identified the same individuals and their level of agreement, and (b) t
This chapter is an effort to explore the challenges related to establishing civil liability for independent activities for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) and discusses how these challenges can be addressed in a manner that maintains the balance of interests implied by existing legal mechanisms. The chapter concludes that existing legal mechanisms are insufficient. They fail to recognise
Studies investigating how the number of children in a family affects the parents or the children face problems because the variable of interestis endogenous in the model. The currently accepted solution to this problem is to use instrumental variables (IVs), for example, based on twin births. In this paper, I review and add to the critique of IVs based on twin births and show that that there are
Thanks to its ability to form a lattice of self-ordered nanosized pores, nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (NP-AAO) is a promising material with diverse applications, for example, as membrane for the controlled deposition of catalysts. NP-AAO is obtained by the anodization of an aluminum substrate under specific pH and voltage conditions. However, the growth mechanism of the oxide is still under de
Few could have foreseen the consequences when the British Parliament, in 1807, passed the Slave Trade Act that sought to abolish slave imports into the British Empire. From population decreases in the British Caribbean to increased prices in the Cape Colony, historical evidence suggests that the effects of the Act were felt far and wide even though commercialization of slaves was still possible wi
Aims: The aim is to discuss implications of consensus culture in combination with media policy in Sweden with regard to the Swedish COVID-19 strategy in the spring of 2020. Methods: Investigation of prerequisites for scrutiny by the Swedish mass media of the Swedish strategy in the spring of 2020 based on discussion regarding consensus culture, media structure and postmodernism in science, politic
The present study describes the testing and function of the drop-volume method in the analysis of fetal lung maturity with use of amniotic fluid. Elevated surface tension resulting from a lack of surface-active phospholipids (surfactant) is the primary etiologic defect in the development of respiratory distress syndrome. The drop-volume method quantifies the surface tension of amniotic fluid with
Dark matter particles, if sufficiently light, may be produced in decays of the Higgs boson. This Letter presents a statistical combination of searches for H→invisible decays where H is produced according to the standard model via vector boson fusion, Z(-)H, and W/Z(had)H, all performed with the ATLAS detector using 36.1 fb-1 of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV at the LHC. In co
This article is intended to contribute to the development of a framework to analyse the international role of the European Union (EU). The article offers a framework to chart the network of relations that the EU has cultivated with nation‐states and regional groupings in the international system, discern differences in the extent or the depth of these relationships and analyse the manner in which
Background: Continuous advancements in interventional and diagnostic radiological techniques are mandatory to meet the increasing demands of patients and health care professionals. This thesis aims to contribute to the development of more effective interventional and diagnostic radiological methods for pelvic diseases. Ultimately, these advancements can lead to improved patient outcomes, optimised
In the international legal literature, it is commonplace to talk about the law of state responsibility as secondary rules of law. The terminology emphasises that in some way or another the law of state responsibility is different from other rules of the international legal system – what international legal scholars refer to as primary rules of law. The present essay inquires into the soundness of
This thesis engages with the role of social movements within development studies by analysing how these movements relate to their context and how LGBTIQ movements contribute to current studies on grassroots’ contribution to development. It analyses how the historical and current context of in Cape Town, South Africa impacts it LGBTIQ movement and its internal dynamics through the multi- institutio
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the extend of cybersecurity obligations imposed on healthcare providers under EU law. To achieve this, the research questions focus on selected parts of the NIS 2 Directive and the Cybersecurity Act. Particular attention is afforded cybersecurity risk-management measures required under Article 21 of the NIS 2 Directive, as well as the role of certification
Nearly US$25 trillion is currently invested through Collective Investment Vehicles (hereinafter: “CIVs”) worldwide. CIVs calculate net asset values (hereinafter: “NAV”) on a daily basis, since such values are the basis for subscriptions and redemptions. In calculating net asset values, a CIV must take into consideration any withholding tax benefits by applicable tax treaties. CIVs require certaint
This report describes the development of a manufacturing process for creating custom-made prosthetic arm sockets using 3D scanning and 3D printing. The process is intended to function as a guide for a prosthetist without requiring an extensive experience in CAD. The project aims to offer a viable alternative to the often time consuming and manual labour-intensive conventional manufacturing method,
