Extended AbstractIn this paper, I examine why the Gallipoli War narrative has become increasingly important in the discourse of the JDP (Justice and Development Party) governments over the last two decades, and how this visible tendency is related to the construction and protection of the neoliberal government in Turkey. I frame the discussion by utilizing Loïc Wacquant’s concept of the “centaur s

While “meaning negotiation” has become an ubiquitous term, its use is often confusing. A negotiation problem implies not only a convenience to agree, but also diverging interest on what to agree upon. It implies agreement but also the possibility of (voluntary) disagreement. In this chapter, we look at meaning negotiation as the process through which agents starting from different preferred concep

Studies on the impact of cleft palate surgery on speech with stringent methodology are called for, since we still do not know the best timing or the best method for surgery. The purpose was to report on speech outcome for all Swedish-speaking 5-year-olds born with a non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), in 2008–2010, treated at Sweden’s six cleft palate centres, and to compare spee

A substantial number of people who are exposed to vibrating hand-held tools develop vasospastic and sensorineural symptoms that may seriously affect the ability to work. Apart from the discomfort of the disease itself, this leads to socio-economic problems for the patients and high costs for the society. The diagnosis of the neurological symptoms is sometimes difficult and may be misinterpreted as

Background: As neurophysiologic tests may not reveal the extent of brachial plexus injury at the early stage, the role of early radiological work-up has become increasingly important. The aim of the study was to evaluate the concordance between the radiological and clinical findings with the intraoperative findings in adult patients with brachial plexus injuries.Methods: Seven consecutive male pat

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to address the issue of supply management coordination among a prominent contact lens company (customer), its carton supplier (first tier), and paperboard supplier (second tier). Adopting concepts within the theory of swift and even flow, the authors integrate the physical (material) and information flow among these supply partners to ensure higher productivity

Purified hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL) from Manihot esculenta was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The bipyramidal crystals formed (10-20 μm) were cross-linked with different amounts of glutaraldehyde and used as biocatalyst for the synthesis of optically active cyanohydrins. The cross-linked crystals were more stable than Celite-immobilized enzymes when incubated in organic

Expression of the cysteine proteinase cathepsin B and its physiological inhibitor cystatin C was analyzed in vitro in I human fibrosarcoma and 4 human colon carcinoma cell lines. Cystatin C antigen as well as cathepsin B activity were detected in the conditioned media of the 5 cell lines. The corresponding cell extracts expressed high levels of cathepsin B activity, whereas only trace amounts of c

The article surveys the Medieval and Early Modern reception of two ancient Greek myths: the stories about the Phoenician princess Europe and her brother Kadmos. During the 12th - 17th century the interpretation of pagan myths flourished in Europe, justified by allegorical exegesis. The myths of Europe and Kadmos were viewed as disguised teachings containing historical, moral or religious truth. Fo

A new novel single input current-sensing differential logic (SCSDL) is proposed. The SCSDL is flexible-in particular high input Boolean logic functions can be implemented with low complexity, area consumption, time delay, and power consumption. The first part of the area saving comes from the remarkable reduction of wiring; the other part comes from the very low number of transistors needed to imp

Today embedded system development is a complex task. To aid the engineers new methodologies and languages are emerging. During the development the system is modelled using different tools and languages. Transformations between the models are traditionally done manually. We investigate the automation of this process, specifically we are looking at automatic UML to SystemC transformation. In this pa

Wind power is seen by many observers as an important part of the transition to a sustainable energy system, since it does not contribute to the environmental problems connected with dominating energy forms such as fossil fuel, nuclear power and large-scale hydro power. At the same time wind power has some characteristics that makes it a special challenge for land use planning. In Sweden, where win
