It has been known for decades that risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) tend to cluster. Metabolic syndrome refers to this risk factor clustering for some of the more well-established and dangerous risk factors. This chapter provides a historical overview on the concept of the metabolic syndrome; describes the clinical criteria used in the definition of the metabolic syndrome

In this paper, we show that a software implementation of IND-CCA-secure Saber key encapsulation mechanism protected by first-order masking and shuffling can be broken by deep learning-based power analysis. Using an ensemble of deep neural networks trained at the profiling stage, we can recover the session key and the secret key from 257 × N and 24 × 257 × N traces, respectively, where N is the num

In most Muslim-majority countries, Islamic normativity underwent a process of “positivization” completely altering the sense which is made of these norms and the ways through which they are obtained. This article aims to deepen our understanding of this phenomenon through a comparative examination of an issue addressed in classical fiqh, partly legislated in modern statutes and codes, sensitive to

Symmetry-breaking charge separation in molecular materials has attracted increasing attention for optoelectronics based on single-material active layers. To this end, Fe(III) complexes with particularly electron-donating N-heterocyclic carbene ligands offer interesting properties with a 2LMCT excited state capable of oxidizing or reducing the complex in its ground state. In this Communication, we

Idag finns många företag som använder PLC-styrning för att styra och manövrera olika maskiner och hårdvaror. AB FIA är ett av dessa företag. På deras begäran har en modul framställts med en Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) som styr dess tillkopplade slav-komponenter. Denna rapport beskriver sambandet av hur styrsystem och komponenter interagerar för att göra kemiska reaktioner mer effektiva ochToday there are many companies that use PLC-control to control and maneuver their machines and hardware. AB FIA is one of these companies. At their behalf, a module was produced with a Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) that controls its adjacent slave components. This report describes the relationship how control systems and components interact to make chemical reactions more efficient and precis

Education for sustainability (EfS) has been regarded a promising approach for solving sustainability challenges. Results have been unsatisfying due to a knowledge-dissemination focus in the formal sector. Reasons are economic and political interests shaping formal education. Therefore, hopes are placed in the non-formal sector to close this knowledge-to-action gap. In this case study, I aim to und

Sedan 2015 har Sverige en uttalat feministisk utrikespolitik, med målet att ett genusperspektiv ska genomsyra all politisk verksamhet. Parallellt med denna nya politiska inriktning fortsätter Sverige att exportera krigsmateriel till icke-demokratiska och konfliktdrabbade stater, något som har gett upphov till kritik. Genom att granska den statliga myndighet som ansvarar för beslut om krigsmateriel

During the second world war between one-half to two million Roma people were killed. The Roma and Sinti ethnic groups had to wait until 1982 before West Germany would recognize them as victims of the Nazi policy of extermination during the war. This has resulted in that the suffering of the Roma does not form a part of the common knowledge today. This essay conveys a discourse analysis, with the p

Denna uppsats avser beskriva hur Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) har förändrats utifrån Peter R. Neumanns idealtyper för gammal terrorism och ny terrorism. Detta är en beskrivande fallstudie och för att kunna applicera Neumanns teori på IMU var vi tvungna att specificera teorin med två underkategorier: operationell räckvidd och media, till Neumanns variabler: struktur och metod. Neumanns tred

In the past, symmetric communication in customer relationships was seen as utopian, today, however, social media have provided new tools which create new dimensions of possibilities for dialogue. Today we find ways through social media to create a more symmetric communication between customer and organization. This study analyzes how three organizations within the sporting and outdoors branch comm

The aim of this essay is, in the light of Juan de la Cruz poem Canciones de alma, to study the dialectic of Gods absence and presence in contemporary theological thinking.

The method used is a comparative text analysis in combination with a conceptual analysis. I

Prostitution is a disputed concept, not in the way that it is not defined, for it is, but not in the sense that would be to many viewed as ethical as well as moral values of the modern society. From the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Person and the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Oth-ers to the Convention for the Elimination of All

In light of the pronounced regression in total fertility rates in Spain over the last 40 years and the permanence well below replacement fertility levels up until the present day, this thesis aims to add evidence to the on-going debate about the determinants of reproductive behaviour in this specific country. Given the presence of a significant heterogeneity in the pace of changes in and levels of

This study identifies a negative impact of mining on access to the public water system in Peru using district data from 2011 and a similar methodology as Loayza, Mier y Teran and Rigolini (2013). One potential explanation for this result can be found by assessing the effects of mining on the investment prioritization of local governments; responsible for providing basic services in Peru. A quantit

Barnets bästa är den bärande principen i dagens barnrätt och härstammar ur såväl FN:s barnkonvention och föräldrabalken.1 Översiktligt går det att konstatera att de grundläggande tankarna om principen är att stärka respekten för barnets människovärde och integritet, samt som en etisk vägledning för alla enskilda bedömningar i mål som rör barnet. Det innebär att principen inte enbart ska tillämpas It is stated in both the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Children and Parents code, that all actions concerning children shall have the best interests of the child as the primary consideration. According to the 6th chapter 2(a) section in the Children and Parents code, the best interest of the child shall be the primary consideration in all questions concerning the child, both in
