This short encyclopedia article looks at the nomenclature and organizing logics of the field of mass media research. Four 'schools' of research are highlighted: the mainstream social science legacy, the various critical traditions, the culturalist perspective, and policy horizons.
At a large tunnel project in Southern Sweden a number of geoelectrical and IP imaging were carried out. The tunnel is drilled through a horst with a complex geology which includes fractures, high water content and weathered zones. The measurements where carried out to compile a geologic model to use in the further planning of the project. The resistivity and IP complements each other very well sin
This paper suggests that many of Gurvitch's ideas, which were originally presented in an abstract fashion, are still highly pertinent to socio-legal analysis. They may be employed in empirical research in a revised form, which would make them receptive to operationalisation. To this end, I shall focus on some of the main theoretical ideas developed by Gurvitch, reinterpreting them critically and i
A survey of hunting, and attitudes towards hunting in Sweden from 17th to 20thh century
The distribution of exogeneous radiolabelled surfactant was investigated in immature newborn lambs who were either ventilated vigorously at birth, and then given surfactant, or who were given surfactant before the first breath. Surfactant distribution was more uniform, and lung mechanics better among the latter.
A selection of papers devoted to the intricate history of freemasonry and other fraternal organisation in the Middle East.
The purpose of this paper is to examine current practices of load factor utilisation of road transport. An interview study of five shippers and two transport providers were conducted. The research shows that transport providers seem to work efficiently with operational practices to improve the load factor, but the load factor seems not to be highly prioritised when it comes to strategic decisions.
The extraction of semantic propositions has proven instrumental in applications like IBM Watson (Ferrucci, 2012) and in Google’s knowledge graph (Singhal, 2012). One of the core components of IBM Watson is the PRISMATIC knowledge base consisting of one billion propositions extracted from the English version of Wikipedia and the New York Times (Fan et al., 2010). However, extracting the proposition
Various proteases in the brain contribute to ischemic brain injury. We investigated the involvement of the asparaginyl endopeptidase legumain after experimental stroke. On the basis of gene array studies and in situ hybridizations, we observed an increase of legumain expression in the peri-infarct area of rats after transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO) for 120 mins with a maxim
Inflammation and ischemia have a synergistic damaging effect in the immature brain. The role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors 1 and 2 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sensitization and tolerance to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) was evaluated in neonatal murine hippocampal organotypic slices. Hippocampal slices from balb/c, C57BL/6 TNFR1(-/-), TNFR2(-/-), and wild-type (WT) mice obtai
The subject of the analysis is constitutional judiciary in Azerbaijan. A thesis is put forward that it played a significant role in preserving the divided power and realizing the constitutional rights and freedoms of an individual.
Intersectional studies are expanding and generating vital and much-needed theoretical debate in the discipline of feminist/gender studies. The aim of this article is to contribute to the debate through a critical reflection over the process of translation through which the concept has been introduced, interpreted and acted upon in Swedish gender studies. The purpose is also to bridge the concept o
This paper focuses on the use of pulse functions and point matching method to construct the impedance matrix needed for the characteristic mode analysis of dielectric bodies. Taking the results given by a commercial Method of Moments (MoM) solver as a benchmark, the proposed method is shown to facilitate accurate characteristic eigenvectors and eigenvalues on these structures using low order basis
Although border politics have been given much theoretical attention in recent years, empirical studies of identity construction among border police officers are less common. In 2014, a two-year collaborative project partly funded by the EU was initiated in order to increase international collaboration between border police officers in the Baltic Sea area. The participating organizations were borde
