This paper, in contrast to earlier studies, tests market integration using a methodology that accounts for the multiplicity problem inherent in testing several time series. This method minimises the risk of finding spurious evidence of market integration. We examine market integration among 12 fish species in Sweden by applying cointegration tests, which identify market integration for two separat

Competitive and integrative policy actions are simultaneously being promoted in Swedish primary care; citizens' choice of care is launched while primary care is expected to integrate its activities with other providers for the creation of local health care. Competition tends, however, to fragment the provision of services. The aim of this study is, accordingly, to explore whether or not these poli

This study discusses the conceptualization of punishment, human rights, and the justification of applied measures in international counterterrorism strategies. Through Deductive Qualitative Analysis (DQA) a mixed theory of punishment, discussed by philosophers such as John Rawls, H. L. A. Hart, and Matthew Altman, is applied to UN and EU counterterrorism strategies to analyze the normative justifi

The goal of the present deliverable is to provide a developmental analysis of attentional intersubjectivity, which, as we show below, is a more inclusive notion than the more commonly used term ‘joint attention’ (e.g. Moore & Dunham 1995). The use of the term ‘joint attention’ is not consistent in the literature, sometimes referring to the general phenomenon when two or more subjects attend to

Evaporation from a multicomponent aqueous mixture not only establishes a hydration gradient but may also lead to composition gradients in the other components. Here, we show that such a gradient induces a strong segregation between two phospholipids that differ only in the saturation of their acyl chains. Using high-resolution confocal Raman microscopy combined with small- and wide-angle X-ray sca

Contributing to global urban history, planning theory and the geography of ideas, this article discusses the travels of Henri Lefebvre’s The Right to the City in the wake of May 1968, in France. That year, under the direction of Mario González and Max Baquero, a small team including the Italian architect Vittorio Garatti, French planner Jean-Pierre Garnier and Spanish architect Eusebio Azcue, at t

References to politics are currently proliferating within global architecture discourse. The looming perils of climate change, the automation of labor markets, and the breakdown of models for city and state governance, for example, have catalyzed an increasing interest in the politics of architecture. Yet, the relationship between architecture and politics remains unclear. What role can/should pol

In the sanctuaries of 6th century Cyprus, a limited group of votive figures carry Egyptian-style dress, head gear, jewellery, and ornaments. This collection of lime-stone and bronze votaries is merely one category of several, within the island's material, which testify to Egyptian(-izing) preferences. The relation to similar material from the sanctuaries on the Phoenician coast remains to be estab

In this paper we study two major challenges in few-shot bioacoustic event detection: variable event lengths and false-positives. We use prototypical networks where the embedding function is trained using a multi-label sound event detection model instead of using episodic training as the proxy task on the provided training dataset. This is motivated by polyphonic sound events being present in the b

This article serves as an introduction to the special issue on Islam in the Republic of Ireland. The introduction gives a brief overview of previous studies on Islam and Muslims in Ireland and shows their links with the studies published in this issue. Second, it presents in a concise manner the historical development of Islam in Ireland with respect to the increasing numbers of Muslims. As Irelan

We outline a framework to study the use of mathematics in physics classrooms. The framework focuses on the relations made between Reality, Theoretical models and Mathematics. In this paper the analyses of one teacher and her 3rd year classes at secondary school are presented. The results show that phenomena in reality are often used as a short prelude to put focus on the relationship theoretical m

This paper seeks to reconstruct the worldview informing Iberian overseas expansion during the long sixteenth century, arguing that this worldview was more indebted to Renaissance cosmology than to a recognisably modern scientific worldview. The paper describes how this cosmology provided the intellectual resources necessary to justify overseas expansion to those who doubted its viability and legit
