Secret diplomacy may at first glance appear to be the antinomy of public diplomacy. Diplomats have traditionally been discouraged from participation in the domestic or foreign politics of the state in which they exercise their functions, and their official communications are, according to Articles 12 and 13 of the Havana Convention (1928), to be channelled through the host Foreign Ministry. By con

The International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) is an agreement establishing a common standard for the reporting of information about aid and development funding. Signatories include nations, intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs) and private foundations, which together account for approximately 80 per cent of all inter

A common approach to the conservation of farmland biodiversity and the promotion of multifunctional landscapes, particularly in landscapes containing only small remnants of non-crop habitats, has been to maintain landscape heterogeneity and reduce land-use intensity. In contrast, it has recently been shown that devoting specific areas of non-crop habitats to conservation, segregated from high-yiel

The article contains an edition, Swedish translation and study of a fifteenth-century Easter sermon written in Latin at the Birgittine Abbey of Vadstena, in a postil produced for the curate of Björkvik, who, we may presume, used it as a resource when preparing vernacular sermons for his parishioners. The study is not simply an introduction and historical commentary. Rather, it proceeds from the ho

Abstract in German Verliert der Kapitalismus seine Progressivität und entfaltet stattdessen zerstörerische Kräfte? Ein Gespräch mit zwei der führenden Kapitalismuskritiker über die Zukunft des kapitalistischen Systems und den unterschiedlichen Formen von Gegenentwürfen.

The presentation will describe the results of a randomized controlled trial of cognitive therapy for childhood GAD, including analyses of mediation of outcome by changes in intolerance of uncertainty.

The paper deals with accuracy problems when heat energy consumption in district heating (DH) systems is calculated by measuring the DH water ow rate and its cooling. An investigation on the in uence that sizing of ow meters used has on the accuracy of DH water ow mea- surements in a typical DH subscriber station is presented. Furthermore the consequences of the choice of ow meter size on energ

Language diversity and minority languages are closely connected and documentation of minority languages is particularly valuable in respect to historical studies, i.e. less-documented languages which are on the verge of extinction often present valuable pieces of information to indicate what languages in the past might have looked like (cf. uniformitarian principle). For instance, the development

In this thesis investigations of the structure and dynamics of semiconductor surfaces relevant for the synthesis of nanostructures are presented. The studies were performed using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED), and Spectroscopic PhotoEmission and Low Energy Electron Microcopy (SPELEEM). Nanostructures are defined as objects with one or more dimensions o

This thesis consists of four papers, which treat the modelling of a spur gear set and a disc brake, and the interaction between the machine elements. Features of the performance are studied in relation to the initial stated assumptions. Initially, a method for analysing the influence of profile errors upon load-sharing capabilities and mesh stiffness of spur gears was proposed. The contacts betwee

Popular Abstract in Swedish Andra kapitlet redogör för konsekvenserna av att anta att inte bara huvuden utan också fraser är sonder. Slutsatsen är att det inte finns varken teoretisk eller empirisk anledning att behålla stipulationen att endast huvuden är sonder. I tredje kapitlet redogörs för de strukturella skillnaderna mellan pronomen och reflexiver. Skillnaden är att pronomen och refererande uIn chapter 2, I claim that not only heads, but phrases, too, are probes. I show that there are in fact no theoretical and empirical problems involved if we abandon the stipulation that only heads may probe. In chapter 3, I explore the structure of nominal expressions. The difference we see between reflexives and personal pronouns is argued to be an effect of the syntactic derivation, not of the p
