This paper focuses on public diplomacy efforts during crises that involve multiple, transboundary, and often hostile publics. Traditionally, public diplomacy is employed to resolve crises (Zaharna, 2004) and bring about understanding from foreign publics (Pamment, 2012). Recently, some studies point to a new style of public diplomacy that intentionally causes and intensifies crises for the purpose

Motivated by challenges from today's fast-evolving wireless communication standards and soaring silicon design cost, it is important to design a flexible hardware platform that can be dynamically reconfigured to adapt to current operating scenarios, provide seamless handover between different communication networks, and extend the longevity of advanced systems. Moreover, increasingly sophisticated

Gas turbines, in simple and combined cycle, are common and economically profitable on the power generating market today. Several new cycles have been proposed as future competing technologies, but all studies about these cycles have, so far, been paperwork. The requirements for these new cycles are better efficiency than those of today, provide better flexibility, offer short start up times, less

During the course of development the motor repertoire of animals and humans alike go through dramatic changes. New motor patterns arise; movements become coordinated, improve in precision and are at the same time continuously calibrated to the changing body dimensions. The cerebellum is critical for movement coordination and adaptation in adults. Also, interfering with cerebellar development durin

In order to examine contemporary Russian cinema, this thesis has two points of departure: firstly the Petersburg myth, which is here defined as reversible or ambiguous since it includes both an eschatological and a cosmogonic aspect; and secondly, the Petersburg literary text as defined in works by Vladimir Toporov. During the twentieth century, the vitality and actuality of the Petersburg myth wa

This dissertation is an empirical investigation of mitigation strategies in spoken Spanish between L1 speakers and advanced Swedish L2 learners. The first aim of our study is a pragmalinguistic analysis and description of the mitigating functions of a number of linguistic elements in our corpus. The second aim comprehends a study of three contrasts, namely, the use of mitigation strategies in (a)

Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteoporos (benskörhet) är ett tillstånd som definieras av låg benmassa och ett tillstånd som ökar med stigande ålder. Sjukdomen i sig är symptomfri men ökar risken för frakturer. Frakturer i kota, axel, handled, bäcken, och höft efter 50 års ålder är ofta förknippade med osteoporos och ca 70 000 sådana frakturer inträffar årligen i Sverige. Även artros (ledsvikt) i höfPartly due to an ageing population, the number of osteoporosis-related fractures and osteoarthritis (OA)-related hip and knee arthroplasty procedures is increasing. The individual suffering and the burden on society for these conditions is immense. Genetic contribution for the variance in bone mineral density (BMD) is estimated at around 60–80%, and for OA 50%, leaving a considerable proportion to

Popular Abstract in Swedish En viktig del av sjukgymnastens kliniska undersökning är att bedöma muskelstyrka. För att kunna planera och genomföra en adekvat behandling krävs en objektive mätning av muskelstyrkan och en förståelse av de faktorer som orsakar muskelsvaghet. En faktor som kan bidra till muskelsvaghet är en oförmåga hos centrala nervsystemet att rekrytera och optimalt aktivera de motorThe evaluation of skeletal muscle strength is an important part of the physiotherapist’s clinical examination in order to plan and execute appropriate interventions. This requires the objective assessment of muscle strength and the determination of the underlying factors of muscle weakness. One factor that can contribute to muscle weakness is the inability of the central nervous system to voluntar

Background: The environment where we humans live provides the fundamental requirements we need to survive – food to eat, water to drink, and air to breathe. The quality of these elements has a major impact on human health, as they can contain substances that are detrimental to health. These we call environmental pollutants. This thesis explores the effects of exposure to air pollutants in particul

Popular Abstract in English This thesis concerns experiments of heat transfer in a rectangular channel with ribs and an obstacle. Liquid crystal thermography (LCT) is used to record the temperature fields in the experiments. LCT is based on measurement of the color response of a heated surface. When illuminated with a white light, the liquid crystals react to temperature changes by changing color,This thesis presents experimental investigations of local heat transfer in a rectangular channel (aspect ratio AR = 4) with continuous transverse ribs as well as an obstacle. Liquid crystal thermography (LCT) is employed to obtain the temperature fields in the heat transfer experiments. The liquid crystal applied here has a red start at 35°C and a bandwidth of 1°C. The work consists of (1) periodi

The CSDDD, the EU’s mandatory due diligence directive, is a landmark addition to the EU’s corporate sustainability framework that transforms previously voluntary norms into binding law. Its mandatory due diligence obligations require companies to identify, assess, and address adverse human rights and environmental impacts in their chain of activities, both within and outside the EU. The aim is to

Global Enterprises today are dependent on performance within complex networks. To become effective and efficient, it is more important than ever to organize operations in order to capitalize on resources and to integrate different activities. This means that the supply chain and logistics have become core activities in international enterprises. Transportation has also become an issue based on the

En viktig typ av bevisning i brottmål utgörs av de förhör som hålls med olika personer vid huvudförhandlingen. Personer som inte är parter i målet hörs som vittnen. En lagstiftning som behandlar bevis i form av vittnen kan inte undgå att beakta värdet av att detta bevis är oerhört växlande. Detta med hänsyn till den större eller mindre förmågan hos ett vittne att vilja avge en sann och fullständigAn important type of evidence in criminal cases consists of the interrogations held with different people at a main hearing. People who are not parties to the case are heard as witnesses. Legislation dealing with evidence in the form of witnesses cannot fail to take into account that these evidence are extremely variable. This with regard to the greater or lesser ability of a witness to give a tru

Background & purpose Emulsions are droplets of one immiscible fluid that is encircled by another immiscible fluid, the formation of an emulsion requires energy applied to a certain volume, two immiscible fluids and an emulsifying agent. The excess of energy comes from high shear forces from the mixing blades which rotate at high speed. It is desired to know what fluid dynamics, in terms turbul

Principen om barnets bästa framhålls i både svensk nationell rätt och i internationella konventioner. Barnets bästa ska vara vägledande i alla beslut som rör barnet, så som barnets boende, umgänge och vårdnad. Vad som är barnets bästa är inte lagstadgat, rangordnat eller uttömt i varken svensk nationell rätt eller i internationell rätt utan barnets bästa anses skilja sig beroende på tid och plats,The principle of “the best interests of the child” is emphasized in both Swedish national law and international conventions, such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the European Convention on Human Rights. The principle shall to be used as guidance in all decisions relating to a child and can involve determination regarding the child's residence, visitation regulation or cu

För att en användare ska ha rätt att utnyttja ett upphovsrättskyddat verk krävs tillstånd från upphovsmannen. Inom vissa verksamheter utnyttjas stora mängder av upphovsrättskyddade verk som behöver klareras. Det kan vara tidskrävande och dyrt att införskaffa individuella tillstånd för dessa. De nordiska länderna har löst detta problem genom att införa ett avtalslicenssystem. Avtalslicensen är ett In order for a user to exploit a copyright protected work, permission needs to be obtained from the author. In certain fields, large amounts of copyright protected work are exploited. To acquire individual permits is both time consuming and expensive. The Nordic countries have solved this problem by introducing a system of extended collective licenses (ECL). An ECL is an agreement between an organ

It is likely that a high degree of political support will be required to realise the biorefinery concept in reality, as capital intensive technology development and stimulation of the most promising technologies for biorefineries requires that government will need to invest heavily before industry has the confidence in biorefinery technologies and bio-based product markets to invest fully. However
