This article studies two post-war documentary films set in India, Indian Village (1951) and The Wind and the River (1953), directed by the celebrated Swedish filmmaker Arne Sucksdorff. While many scholars have studied these films in relation to Sucksdorff’s biography and Swedish national cinema, less emphasis has been placed on these Indian documentaries in relation to other international document
A low-latency and area-efficient FFT/IFFT scheme is presented. The main idea is to utilize OFDM guard bands to reduce the operation counts and processing time, which results in 42% latency reduction compared to the reported pipelined schemes. To realize this idea, a modified pipelined architecture and an efficient data scheduling scheme are proposed. Furthermore, the proposed architecture is scala

This paper presents a method for modeling and control of a piezo-actuated high-dynamic compensation mechanism (HDCM) for usage together with an industrial robot during a machining operation, such as milling in aluminum. The spindle is attached to the compensation mechanism and the robot holds the workpiece. Due to the inherent resonant character of mechanical constructions of this type, and the no
Purpose of the Study: To identify policy gaps in the delivery and availability of assistive health technology (AHT) and medical devices (MD) for aging populations, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Design and Methods: The findings presented in this paper are the results of several narrative overviews. They provide a contextual analysis of the conclusions and evidence from W
The purpose of this study was to analyze two approaches to concepts of a just response to the atrocities of Democratic Kampuchea as they are presently operating in the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia and in Khmer Buddhism. It assessed what Buddhism and the ECCC offer in answer to Cambodians’ justice needs and where both ways of conceiving justice overlap and diverge. The research
This study adds to the extensive body of research concerning different aspects of the Securitization Theory formulated by Buzan, Waever and de Wilde in Security: A New Framework for Analysis (1998) and focus on the theoretically underdeveloped relationship between the securitizing actor and the audience. The case studied is the securitization of homosexuality in Uganda with the proposal of the “An
There is currently a strongly growing interest in obtaining optimal control solutions for vehicle maneuvers, both in order to understand optimal vehicle behavior and to devise improved safety systems, either by direct deployment of the solutions or by including mimicked driving techniques of professional drivers. However, it is nontrivial to find the right mix of models, formulations, and optimiza
The development of models that provide accurate spatio-temporal predictions of ambient air pollution at small spatial scales is of great importance for the assessment of potential health effects of air pollution. Here we present a spatio-temporal framework that predicts ambient air pollution by combining data from several different monitoring networks and deterministic air pollution model(s) with
Vehicular communication channels are characterized by a non-stationary time- and frequency-selective fading process due to fast changes in the environment. We characterize the distribution of the envelope of the first delay bin in vehicle-to-vehicle channels by means of its Rician $K$-factor. We analyze the time–frequency variability of this channel parameter using vehicular channel measurements a
Economic and racial discrimination goes hand in hand in the case of Syrian refugees in the labour market in Lebanon. Ever since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, millions of the Syrian population has fled abroad, most of whom are currently residing in its neighbouring countries, Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan. Lebanon currently has the largest number of Syrian refugees per capita, putting pr
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can manipulate the electromagnetic (EM) waves in wireless channels and thus is promising for the sixth generation wireless communication systems. However, there exists little research on RIS channel measurements, which are important for the communication system design. In this paper, channel measurements are carried out in anechoic chamber, outdoor, and ind
Mexico, the second largest economy in Latin America, has almost eradicated extreme poverty according to the Millennium Development Goals; however, official statistics show that by national standards poverty levels are still quite high, reaching up to half its population. This paper looks into how the determinants of poverty in Mexico have evolved after the last major economic crisis the country ex
Individual variation among and within natural populations can have eco-evolutionary implications by, for example, affecting species interactions or evolutionary potential. Urban systems present a unique opportunity to evaluate how environmental change shapes variation since urban phenotypic differentiation is widely documented on contemporary timescales. We introduce and test three hypotheses to d
The aim of this study was to examine social policy strategies for elderly care, from a class perspective. The Swedish population is getting older which increases the need of elderly care. Given this situation and that research demonstrate that the number of elderly people have doubled between 2006 and 2011, and since there is a gap of knowledge of the class perspective in elderly care. I therefore
As cities increasingly turn to nature-based solutions (NBS) as panaceas for addressing climate challenges and other social, economic, and environmental issues, questions of urban governance and justice have become more prominent. While much of the existing literature on NBS justice assessments focuses on distributional aspects through quantitative methods, procedural justice remains underexplored,
The European Court of Justice was established in 1951, with the purpose of interpretating the Treaty of Rome. Since then, the Court has constantly refined and expanded its parameters, thereby becoming an important catalyst for the integrational process of the European Community, expanding and pushing integration forward in every field of Community life. The Court´s case law is a manifestation of i
