Abstract in UndeterminedThis article points to four worrisome aspects of the Court’s reasoning in Rantsev v. Cyprus and Russia. First, the Court takes on board the concept of ‘human trafficking’ without offering any meaningful legal analysis as to the elements of the human trafficking definition. Second, the adoption of the human trafficking framework implicates the ECtHR in anti-immigration and a

In agriculture, as in industry, have many physically demanding jobs disappeared and the physical stress factors have changed. However, the working days in farms are often long, and it is difficult to hire workers for help as the work conditions are considered to be harsh. The thermal work environment in farms is one of the factors influencing the work conditions. This study aimed to find out the p

A current aim in research on moral cognition is the development of computational models of moral choices and judgements. We fit diffusion models with and without dependence on visual fixations to data on binary moral choices. We find that a fixation dependent model provides a better fit and can capture many features of the empirical data. We discuss the implications for understanding moral cogniti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen handlar om islamisk predikokonst i teori och praktik, med särskilt fokus på islamisk predikan inspelad och publicerad på ljudkassett. Huvudmaterialet består av fyra kassetter med inspelningar av predikningar på arabiska: 1) Ismail Hamidi, ”Underrättelsen om uppståndelsens dag”; 2) Ahmad al-Qattan, ”Vägen till Paradiset/Lustgården”; 3) Ahmad al-Qattan, ”BeräThe dissertation deals with Islamic preaching in theory and practice, with special focus on material recorded and published in the format of audiotapes/cassettes. One aim is to explore possible implications of the use of this special format of publication in the context of Islamic preaching. How is this new format of publication to be understood in relation to the norms regulating the activity of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna rättssociologiska avhandling studerar delar av den svenska arbetsmiljöregleringen: arbetsgivarens internkontroll av arbetsmiljön (numera systematiskt arbetsmiljöarbete) och yrkesinspektionens efterkontroll av internkontrollen inom den kommunala sektorns äldreomsorg. Undersökningens syfte är att undersöka om och i vad mån genomförandeprocessens aktörer förstår intThis sociology of law dissertation studies parts of the Swedish work environment regulations: the employer’s internal control of the work environment (nowadays systematic work environment activities) and the labour inspectorate’s auditing of internal control within the municipalities’ care of the elderly. The aim of the study is to investigate whether and to what extent the actors of the implemen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Rätt förhållande mellan mängden bränsle och luft är viktigt i dagens förbränningsmotorer för att den katalytiska avgasreningen skall fungera. Motorer i serieproduktion mäter syrehalten i avgaserna för att få en uppfattning om blandningsförhållandet. Denna utvecklar en metod att skatta blandningsförhållandet genom mätning av cylindertrycket. Man kan på så sätt få snabbarThis thesis investigates the use of cylinder pressure measurements for estimation of the in-cylinder air/fuel ratio in a spark ignited internal combustion engine. An estimation model which uses the net heat release profile for estimating the cylinder air/fuel ratio of a spark ignition engine is developed. The net heat release profile is computed from the cylinder pressure trace and quantifies the

We used validated outcome instruments to measure symptoms, disability, and health-related quality of life in 58 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The patients completed the CTS instrument before and 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) before and 3 months after surgery. The size of clinical change detected by each outcome measure was estimated by th

This study explores the emergence of the Christian biblical canon and its significance for the early as well as for the contemporary church. Some major challenges to previous research on the biblical canon are presented. The apostolic formula "the Scriptures and the Lord" is defended as a good summary of the Christian canon, its formation and significance. It is argued that the canon was formed i

A new method for identifying and ranking critical components and sets of components in technical infrastructures is presented. The criticality of a component or a set of components is defined as the vulnerability of the system to failure in a specific component, or set of components. The identification of critical components is increasingly difficult when considering multiple simultaneous failures

This article explores to what extent married middle-aged individuals in Europe are governed by the risk of experiencing divorce, when shaping their physical appearance. The main result is that divorce risks, proxied by national divorce rates, are negatively connected to body mass index (BMI) among married individuals but unrelated to BMI among singles. Hence, it seems that married people in societ

Electronic properties of dye-sensitized semiconductor nanocrystals, consisting of perylene (Pe) chromophores attached to 2 nm TiO2 nanocrystals via different anchor-cum-spacer groups, have been studied theoretically using density functional theory (DFT) cluster calculations. Approximate effective electronic coupling strengths for the heterogeneous electron-transfer interaction have been extracted

Important constituents of extracellular matrix are collagen, fibronectin, hyaluronan, and various types of proteoglycans, such as versican, perlecan, decorin, and biglycan. Remodeling of extracellular matrix occurs continuously and is affected by various cytokines. The aim of this study was to investigate how interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), separately and

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to compare the ability of transvaginal Doppler ultrasonographic examination with that of gray-scale ultrasonographic examination to discriminate between benign and malignant and between normal and pathologic endometrium in women with postmenopausal bleeding. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred thirty-eight consecutive women scheduled for curettage because of postmenopausal bleedin

Histopathological classification of lung cancer is of central importance in the diagnostic routine and guides therapy in the majority of patients. The 4(th) edition of the WHO classification was recently published and includes changes to the diagnostic procedure of non-small cell carcinomas (NSCC) with more emphasis on immunohistochemical (IHC) staining.
