This paper analyzes Danish reactions to the Muhammad cartoon caricature crisis, emphasizing the three narratives that dominate the discussion following the protests against the publication of the 12 cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllandsposten. The narratives were: freedom of speech versus intimidation by Muslims; harrasment of Muslims; and as a sign of failed integration of Muslims into Danish
Specific advantages with Particle Induced X-Ray Emission are: its (1) multielemental capability, especially when combined with nuclear techniques for lighter elements, (2) speed, (3) low detection limits for small samples and (4) accuracy. To make full use of these advantages, analytical parameters have to be chosen optimally and the facility to be carefully designed. This paper describes an exper
This thesis is a study of the theology of canon law in the Pedalion. The Pedalion (Πηδάλιον: ”rudder”) is a famous Greek Orthodox collection of canon law. It was printed in Leipzig 1800 by permission of the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. St. Nikodemos Hagioreites and Agapios Leonardos were the authors. What is the theoretical foundation of canon law according to the Pedalion? How is th
This paper presents a fast, interactive and easily modifiable software tool for robust PID design. The Matlab based program is supposed to give people with moderate knowledge on PID control a possibility to learn more and also be a future part of an autotuner. The PID design is made by minimizing the integrated absolute error value during a load disturbance on the process input. The optimization i
This article proposes to focus on the importance of epistolary mediation as driving force in the construction of scientific knowledge. It is by analysing the correspondence between phoneticians approached as a textual interaction, considered in its mediatory function and captured through the scientific challenges which permeate it, that we shall illustrate here the contribution of the exchange of
For the “Street Art, the City and the Public: Changing the Urban Vision” session at International Visual Sociology Association conference 2013, I discussed the unsanctioned nature of street art and the way it may influence our perception of public space. Taking as a point of departure George Simmel’s well-known thoughts on the blasé urban resident, I see public space as being dominated by individ
Patients with anxiety disorders automatically attend to threat-related stimuli. This is seen not only in an attentional bias for consciously available stimuli, but also in effects of subliminally exposed (i.e., masked) stimuli. The effects of treatment on cognitive biases have been examined in a variety of anxiety disorders, and the results commonly indicate that attentional biases disappear as a
Much psychological research makes use of explicit measures (e.g., questionnaires), where the participants are asked to report about themselves. Such measures at best index various aspects of the person’s conscious self-concept. However, there are also implicit measures that are designed to tap similar constructs in a more indirect way (e.g., the Implicit Association Test and the Thematic Appercept
A floating-point analog-to-digital converter (FP-ADC) with a linear architecture has been implemented using an amplifier network in front of a pipeline ADC. The amplifier network has outputs with binary weighted gains, each sampled separately. The signal with the proper gain is then converted in the ADC. This structure allows instant floating point exponent determination. The mismatches in the amp
To overcome the bottleneck of the one-way translation from VR (virtual reality) to CAD in VR-based CAD system, this paper proposes a Web-based VR-CAD system WVCD (Web-based virtual conceptual designer) to support both customers’ and design team members' involvement in the conceptual design and analysis activity over the Internet. It provides users with both parametric and freehand methods to creat
