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

This chapter presents a socio-historical perspective on the origin and development of the Swedish school field and the teaching professions. With Bourdieu as a source of inspiration, the school field is defined as a system of specialized institutions and agents (church, state, academy, teachers’ unions) who, based on different interests and positions, compete for recognition and power to define th

The changing nature of the migration phenomenon has influenced the Moroccan context in a different way and has transformed it into a transit and destination country for sub-Saharan migrants. This chapter analyses the evolution of migration trends in Morocco, considering the relation between migration and development in more marginalised areas of the country, such as the Rif region. Moreover, it co

Microbicides in the leather industries are employed to avoid the biodeterioration of the hides by microorganisms. This problem may lead to harmful characteristics to the end product such as stains, roughness and decrease mechanical properties of leather. Therefore, microbicides like the 2-(thiocyanomethylthio) benzothiazole (TMCTB) are applied in distinct steps of the tanning process as alternativ

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

A study is done concerning event related potentials in coloured noise, such as evoked potential signals (EP) in EEG. Two estimators, both based on the least square version of the Prony method, combined with singular value decomposition, have been investigated. The EP is described by a sum of damped sinusoids in both estimators. In the first estimator the noise is described by an ARMA—process and in

The paper presents the first steps of the development of a theoretical framework for a rational yet practical decision making process concerning the condition assessment of existing bridges in Sweden. The main focus is on how to choose the appropriate level of enhanced conditions assessment considering aspects of model sophistication, uncertainty consideration and knowledge content utilisation. A

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
