The effect of a certain aggressive action is often aggravated if another aggressive action takes place at the same time. Examples of mechanisms with synergy are (i) salt-frost scaling and reinforcement corrosion, (ii) alkali silica reaction (ASR) and internal frost damage, (iii) leaching of lime and internal frost attack, (iv) leaching of lime and reinforcement corrosion, (v) internal frost and le
This article reports model experiments where vocal tract profiles of high and mid unrounded front and high rounded back vowels were systematically modified to simulate small constriction shifts along the hard or soft palate, in order to test A. M. Bell's century-old proposal that small shifts of tongue arch fronting or retraction would yield audible shifts of vowel timbre. Such differences were cl
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling analyseras unga mäns vålds- och offerupplevelser. Studien bygger på olika typer av material men det mest centrala underlaget består av samtalsintervjuer med unga män som har blivit utsatta för misshandel eller rån. Sätten på vilka de unga männen talar om sig själva, förövaren, våld och offerskap utgör utgångspunkten för analysen. Inom ramen för samtalIn this dissertation, young men's experiences of being victims of crime are analysed. Several kinds of material are considered in this study, but the primary data consist of informal, tape-recorded interviews with ten young men (17 to 21 year's old) who had been assaulted or mugged. Their accounts of their experiences are analysed using a number of constructionist, interactionist, and narrative pe
BACKGROUND: Comparable data on the global and country-specific burden of neurological disorders and their trends are crucial for health-care planning and resource allocation. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD) Study provides such information but does not routinely aggregate results that are of interest to clinicians specialising in neurological conditions. In this syst
Background International multicentre studies on diet and cancer are relatively new in epidemiological research. They offer a series of challenging methodological issues for the evaluation of the association between dietary exposure and disease outcomes, which can both be quite heterogeneous across different geographical regions. This requires considerable work to standardize dietary measurements a
Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are common disorders in the population. Lifestyle habits have been suspected to influence the presence and degree of symptoms, and many studies have examined the role of food components and physical activity on the disease development. The role of smoking and alcohol intake on FGID has been less thoroughly examined. This systematic literature review, o
Background: There is limited evidence regarding the provision of home-based postnatal care, resulting in a weak evidence-base for policy formulation and the further development of home-based postnatal care services. Aim: To explore the structure and organisation of public hospital home-based postnatal care in Victoria, Australia. Methods: An online survey including mostly closed-ended questions wa
Joachim Östlund undersöker de begrepp, berättelser och metaforer om krig som den svenska statsmakten använde sig av när den vände sig till folket genom de så kallade böndagsplakaten. Det handlar alltså om varierande representationer av krig i en specifik genre av material, över lång tidsaxel. Böndagsplakaten lästes alltsedan 1500-talet upp från predikostolarna och fungerade, tillsammans med övriga
Today the majority of critical scholars regard Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians to be a pseudepigraphical writing authored by an early disciple of the apostle Paul. A puzzle that has yet to be solved, however, is what the historical setting of the production of this fictional letter might be. Another way of the stating the issue is, what would cause a first century disciple of Paul to write this do
I Sverige berörs 200 barn per år av att en förälder utvisas ur landet. Barn har en del rättigheter dels genom vissa bestämmelser som finns i svenska lagar som FB, SOL och UtlL men även i EKMR och barnkonventionen. Möjligheterna att utesluta utvisning i ett mål kring utvisningsfrågan på grund av brott där utlänningen har barn i riket finner man främmst i 8kap 11§ UtlL. Denna lagändring infördes eftIn Sweden there are 200 children every year which is affected by a parent will be expelled from the country. Children have some rights partly through provisions in Swedish law such as FB, SOL and UtlL but also in EKMR and the child convention. The possibilities of limiting deportation order when the alien has children in the country are found mainly in the aliens act 8 chapters 11§. This provision
The purpose of this thesis is to position the physical and independent bookshop in the digital era, claiming that they do have a strong place there. The rationale of viewing the bookshop as a space in which an experience can be had, intends to give independent bookshops a guide on how to remain as such. I focused on an English language bookshop in Istanbul, Turkey and conducted fieldwork for 3 mon
Objectives: Fusobacterium necrophorum is a common cause of pharyngotonsillitis. However, no guidelines exist on when to diagnose or treat it. We aimed to investigate associations between clinical criteria and F. necrophorum-positivity in pharyngotonsillitis and assess the predictive potential of a simple scoring system. Methods: Pharyngotonsillitis patients who were tested for F. necrophorum (PCR)
The steadily increasing Internet of Things (IoT) devices are vulnerable to be used as bots to launch distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. In this paper, we present X-Pro, a distributed XDP proxy to counteract DDoS attacks. We propose a source-based defense mechanism where proxies located between the IoT devices and the victim performs flow policing on all IoT traffic from a single adminis
Forty-two chapters have been structured according to the toxicities in cancer entities, and the late effects and follow-up proposals have been discussed by European and American authors. Cancer diseases in children, adolescents and young adults are treated within specific treatment protocols and can produce different late effects that will have to be cared for by specific follow-up recommendations
Publicerade våldtäktsanklagelser på sociala medier och ett icke-involverat rättsväsende blev karaktäriserande fenomen för Me Too-Rörelsen. Exemplifierat genom två huvudexempel hävdas avsaknaden av judiciell inblandning innebära ett ifrågasättande av antagandet att lagen styr staten, vilket i förlängningen argumenteras utgöra avsteg från Rättsstatsprincipen. Rättsstatsprincipen framhålls som grundPublishing rape allegations on social media whilst not involving the administration of justice became a significant phenomenon in the wake of the Me Too-Movement. Exemplified through two prime examples, the judicial un-involvement, arguably a questioning of the assumption that the law is the powerholder in the state, will be claimed to have been a departure from the concept of the Rule of Law. T
The purpose of the study is to contribute to the debate on whether smallholder or large-scale farming is the more pertinent strategy to spur agricultural growth and commercialisation in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study will examine the meteoric increase in the growth of ‘emergent’ medium-scale commercial dairy farming in Zambia. Both the Magoye and Fisenge dairy cooperatives will serve as a case stu
