US counterinsurgency, thanks to geographically unbounded reach of drones, is characterized by extending wartime violence from battlefield to the monitor. In this article, we claim that the significance of the ‘new technologies’ of looking and targeting lies in their capacity to negotiate laws of war into the material world, thus determining the legitimacy of their expansive violence. Such negotiat

Background: In software engineering, industry-academia is a symbiotic relationship. Researchers need to be aware of the industry to produce relevant research, while practitioners are educated in academia and could take advantage of empirical research. The SERP taxonomy architecture is designed to support communication between practitioners and researchers in software engineering. Objective: The pu

This paper attempts to move beyond the well-established argument that discourses of gender equality and feminist tropes at times have played a role in justifying, legitimizing and extending military aggression on behalf of the West in the Middle East. Instead, this paper explores the ways in which the US army in concrete terms is redoing masculinity in its presentation of itself as a gentler, kind

'Researching Collocations in Another Language' helps us understand more deeply why collocation knowledge and performance are one of the most fascinating (and at times frustrating) challenges that second language users face. This volume brings together 12 studies from Asia, Europe and North America, divided into four sets: (i) using learner corpora to identify patterns of L2 collocation use, (ii) d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Varje nervskada, oavsett orsak, utgör ett stort problem för den drabbade individen och slutresultatet är i regel dåligt. Personerna som drabbas av nervskador är ofta i arbetsför ålder. Rehabilitering efter en nervskada medför vanligtvis lång sjukskrivning och ibland måste patienten skolas om till ett nytt yrke. Detta innebär stora kostnader för både individen The effect of short time vibration exposure and tourniquet compression on nerve regeneration in rats was studied with special reference to cell activation. One of the hindlimbs was conditioned by either vibration exposure (5 hours / day - 5 consecutive days) or compression (150-300 mmHg for 30-120 minutes), which was followed by a recovery period of 0-7 days.

The interaction among various stakeholder organizations in modern crisis response is very similar to negotiation where each organization has its own goal in addition to a common goal. Decision makers in stakeholder organizations most often have to settle for win-win situations to attain higher joint benefit. In such cases willingness to contribute in joint tasks becomes a prerequisite. In our pres

The interior stress problem is solved numerically for a single-edge notched specimen under uniaxial load. The algorithm is based on a modification of a Fredholm second-kind integral equation with compact operators due to Muskhelishvili. Several singular basis functions for each of the seven corners in the geometry enable high uniform resolution of the stress field with a modest number of discretiz
