In this chapter I begin by giving a brief snapshot of the recent re-emer- gence of the single-state solution as a potential political force, and of its alternative intellectual worldview against the Oslo Accords. Predominantly powered forward by the Palestinian Diaspora within the international arena today, it is this unified vision that holds the whole of the alternative together as a movement of
Background: People with psychosis have a reduced life expectancy of 10-20years, largely due to cardiovascular disease. This trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of a modular health promotion intervention (IMPaCT Therapy) in improving health and reducing cardiovascular risk in psychosis. Methods: A multicentre, two arm, parallel cluster RCT was conducted across five UK mental health NHS trust
The EU’s provisions on cooperation in criminal matters have long allowed for greater flexibility than in other (less sensitive) policy areas. Despite their formal integration into the realm of supranational law under the Lisbon Treaty, they remain subject to some intergovernmental features which are being preserved from the previous pillar structure pre-Lisbon. In particular, this includes opt-out
4-Quinolones affect mammalian cellular functions in vitro in several ways. Inhibition of cell proliferation differ widely among 4-quinolones. Ciprofloxacin is one of the most antiproliferative inhibiting cell growth with about 30% at 20 mg/l. Genotoxocity tests with 4-quinolones are probably 'false' positive due to an increased [3H]-thymidine uptake not related to DNA damage. Ciprofloxacin at 10 m
Is there a political theory in Mary Wollstonecraft’s writings? The question is relevant since Wollstonecraft’s main preoccupation was moral rather than political: the duty of every thinking person to strive to make themselves as good as they can be. This is a complex duty, involving independent thought, acting on principles of reason, and making oneself useful to others. The challenge involved in
This pictorial presentation of childhood aims to provide a visual depiction of the social value of the children in rural Punjabi socio-cultural context. I took these photographs in a village in south Punjab, Pakistan while doing an ethnographic inquiry about infant healthcare belief practices and the social value of the child in rural Punjab.
Manipulating light on the nanometer scale is a challenging topic not only from a fundamental point of view, but also for applications aiming toward the design of miniature optical devices. Nanoplasmonics is a rapidly emerging branch of photonics, which offers variable means to manipulate light using surface plasmon excitations on metal nanostructures. As a spectroscopic phenomenon discovered nearl
The study of Paul in the writings of “Hippolytus of Rome” is faced with some particularly difficult methodological challenges. In this chapter, therefore, I wish to do three things. First, I will introduce some of the fundamental problems in Hippolytan research, especially as they relate to the issues of authorship and the nature of the Hippolytan corpus. Second, to mitigate these problems for the
Knowledge resistance can be defined as the state where we are “almost immune to evidence, or experiences of others” (Klintman 2022:323). The phenomenon, often described using related terms, remains highly relevant to understanding the challenges and opportunities of agreeing on the existence, severity, causes and solutions to environmental problems. The concept of knowledge resistance is related t
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the lesion risk score provided by an AI system is influenced by the selection of exposure parameters. Methods: A breast phantom which contains a lesion, was imaged with digital mammography with different imaging conditions. The tube voltage, the dose level and the anode-filter combination were varied based on an exposure obtained with a
This chapter discusses the development of the ne bis in idem principle and assesses whether its judicial interpretation and application in the last years can be said to constitute a revolution for the enforcement of EU competition law. The analysis is divided into pre- and post-DMA litigation, starting from the creation of the principle of ne bis in idem in the interaction between the CJEU and ECt
Kristillisessä saarnassa on alkukirkosta alkaen käytetty yhteisyyttä ja erillisyyttä ilmaisevia ja aiheuttavia tekniikoita. Tarkoituksenani on tarkastella, kuinka Nokia Mission johtajan Markku Koiviston herätyssaarnoissa ja niissä edeltävissä rukouksissa luodaan ytheisyyttä ja erillisyyttä. (Abstraktin ensimäinen virke.)
Swedish coalition politics is markedly influenced both by a historically strong emphasis on near-unidimensional political conflict along the left-right economic dimension, the once-dominant position of the Social Democrats, and a negative parliamentarism system. These factors have contributed to most governments formed during the post-World War Two period comprising a minority of seats in parliame
The relationship between emotion regulation, social interaction and different types of restricted and repetitive behaviors is poorly understood. In the present study, structural equation modeling based on information about 239 individuals with autism was used to examine whether emotion regulation and social communication were associated with self-injury and stereotyped behaviors. Results showed th
We conducted a network analysis of measures of dissociation and posttraumatic symptoms (PTS) with a varied sample of adolescents (N = 312), some of them previously exposed to war scenarios. The global measure of dissociation (A-DES) was uniquely linked to the arousal PTS symptom cluster (CRIES-13), in particular sleep problems, but not to the reexperiencing and avoidance clusters. Three of four (i
