A controlled experiment was carried out by doing geophysical measurements on a purpose-built heap consisting of two different industrial waste fractions, called NF ( non-ferrous metal) and SLF (shredder light fraction), from the recycling plant of Stena Metall in Halmstad, Sweden. The purpose of the experiment was to see if it was possible to distinguish the different types of material using geoph

In recent times, pragmatics has made more and more room for the theory of discourse. The switch in emphasis was triggered, amid other phenomena and theories, by the flourishing pf the communication theory, with its tenet that the process of communication is quite unstable and unpredictable. It is not only the context the one which distorts the transmission of messages, but also the mood of those i

In this text, I analyze the role of gender-sex-sexuality in school policies in Sweden, Canada, and Germany. Policies concerning young people’s negotiations of gender-sex-sexuality in schools draw on specific understandings of societal belonging and cohesion. Invariably such policies are part of national discourses regarding values and norms of gender and relationships, informed by concepts of ethn

In the last few years, we have seen an explosion in the scale and scope of AI health, a trend only exacerbated by COVID-19. Due to the uptake of AI applications in health, the global health landscape has seen significant shifts. To help understand this development and how best to achieve the potential of AI health technologies, it is necessary to critically look at the global political economy thr

In 1934, Walter Benjamin published his major study Franz Kafka: Zur zehnten Wiederkehr seines Todestages. In the same year, Günther Anders, another German Jew in exile, gave a lecture on Kafka which later, in postwar years, developed into a small book titled Kafka, Pro und Contra. Bringing these two in dialogue—the much-celebrated essay by Benjamin and the generally overlooked book by Anders—the p

The authors developed a global chronic total occlusion crossing algorithm following 10 steps: 1) dual angiography; 2) careful angiographic review focusing on proximal cap morphology, occlusion segment, distal vessel quality, and collateral circulation; 3) approaching proximal cap ambiguity using intravascular ultrasound, retrograde, and move-the-cap techniques; 4) approaching poor distal vessel qu

Unsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) can result from emissions of volatile organic compounds from the materials of the building. A surface emissions trap (cTrap) can be used to stop such emissions thus preventing them from reaching the indoor air. The present study concerned an apartment where the tenants experienced skin and mucous membrane irritation due to moisture-driven emissions from the

OBJECTIVE: To study the information gained by extending a well-established instrument of dependence/independence in activities of daily living with a self-rating of difficulty, and to illustrate the relevance and usefulness of this combined approach with cross-national data. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: Cross-sectional survey study data collected with 1918 very old persons in 5 European countries. METHODS

This study analyses the development of natural philosophy in Scandinavia in the 16th and 17th century. Rather than dealing with individual natural philosophers and ideas, it evolves around groups of natural philsophers - the Bartholin family and the former assistants of Tycho Brahe in Denmark, the Rudbeck family in Sweden. The study of nature is put into a cultural, religious, social, and politica

У цій статті досліджено професійний підхід до ілюстрування книг для дітей та підлітків. Також визначено значення розвитку фантазії, образного мислення, виховання смаку та введення у світ сучасного мистецтва. Описано принципи оформлення та ілюстрування книг з урахуванням вікових особливостей сприйняття дітей, а також важливість привабливості ілюстрацій для зацікавлення маленьких читачів. РозглянутоThe purpose of the study is to investigate the possibilities of replacing the introductory version of MATLAB in educational disciplines related to digital image processing with an open and free analogue of GNU Octave. Using the example of laboratory tasks for the educational discipline "Digital Image Processing", similar capabilities, functionality and syntax of both software packages have been ex

У цій статті досліджено професійний підхід до ілюстрування книг для дітей та підлітків. Також визначено начення розвитку фантазії, образного мислення, виховання смаку та введення у світ сучасного мистецтва. писано принципи оформлення та ілюстрування книг з урахуванням вікових особливостей сприйняття дітей, а також важливість привабливості ілюстрацій для зацікавлення маленьких читачів. Розглянуто Based on the minimum angular size of the image, which is limited by the resolution of the human visual analyzer, a formula was derived for calculating the diagonal of the screen of the information display device. For two levels of unmanned aircraft systems – operational and tactical – the parameters of video monitors were obtained, which allow improving the image contrast, facilitating the operato
