Created in the aftermath of the Second World War, the main task of the UN is the maintenance of international peace and security. Although the UN Charter, signed in San Francisco in 1945, has remained almost the same, the world has changed. In order to adapt the Charter to new upcoming problems two main possibilities exist. The Charter can either be changed itself, following the procedure set fort

In order to increase the use of sustainable energy in Sweden, it is necessary to substitute fossil energy carriers with renewable counterparts. Synthetic natural gas (SNG) produced from renewable resources via biomass gasification and methanation could replace a proportion of the natural gas used in Sweden. In order to facilitate the implementation and expansion of SNG production and use in Sweden
BACKGROUND: Women with history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are at increased risk of early onset cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed to investigate the extent to which HDP is also associated with midlife development of T2D and hypertension above and beyond established risk factors.METHODS: We included parous women who attended population-based structured clin
The influence of sex on pancreatic islet B cell susceptibility to streptozotocin was studied in mice given multiple low doses of streptozotocin. Male C3 D2 F1 mice developed a steadily increasing blood glucose level after a lag period of about 3 weeks, in contrast to females who were resistant. Spleen cells from streptozotocin treated female animals produced hyperglycaemia in total body irradiated
Abstract Noroviruses are now the leading cause of gastroenteritis worldwide. Noroviruses are effectively transmitted due to a low infectious dose, viral shedding in high concentrations, environmental stability, and they induce only a limited immunity after infection. Especially, the norovirus variants of genotype II.4 (GII.4) have seemed greatly adapted for pandemic spread. The high infectivity o
A two-arm, open label, randomized study, evaluated the test characteristics of visual inspection of cervix with Acetic acid (VIA) and Lugol’s Iodine (VILI) in detecting cytology diagnosed squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) in 1160 women of known HIV status in southwestern Nigerian. Using SIL as reference standard and the HIV status masked, VIA and VILI had similar test characteristics except fo
Today’s communities are characterized by migration, transnationalism, and participation in the global economy, and many also have long local histories of linguistic diversity. Empowering individuals in these contexts means fostering the ability to use and expand their existing linguistic repertoires so they can take advantage of the social and economic opportunities afforded by contemporary life.
elwood is the main source of cooking and heating energy for households in rural sub-Saharan Africa. Unfortunately, most of these households use inefficient biomass cook stoves, leading to consumption of more fuel and exposure to indoor air pollutants and associate health problems which disproportionately affect women and children. However, adoption of cleaner biomass cook stoves has remained low w
This special issue follows on from a special call for contributions tothe ECER 2016 conference in Dublin on the need to rethink andreconceptualise internationalisation in higher education (HE). Thepapers in this special issue contribute to a critically reflectiveinterdisciplinary discussion on the phenomena ofinternationalisation in terms of the evolution of the structures,systems, and functions o
The discovery and development of vaccines remain one of the major successes of global health with millions of lives saved every year through routine vaccination. Although vaccines provide a safe and cost-effective solution to vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs), VPDs are still a serious public health problem in most parts of the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Asia. In this revie
Problem: Since business process management (BPM) is a very spacious concept, it is influenced from many other concepts, standards and methods that determine its constancy. Companies are asked to restructure their organisation in order to meet internal and external customer demands. The term quality comes to the fore. Organisations such as ISO and the EFQM try to certify or assess companies in term
The project primarily discusses the development of religious nationalism in India in the context of 1947 partition and attempts to open up space for future research on ontological security studies within a gendered framework, beyond the limits of disciplinary IR debate. It further reflects on the possibilities of applying security studies in conceptualizing collective identity within the domain of
This Master’s thesis analyzes the narratives that are used to portray the LGBTQ+ community and how they relate to the political parallelism of the Polish media system. The focus is on the online edition of TVP Info – the news channel of TVP, Poland’s public service broadcaster. The research investigates the structural changes of the media system, which occurred after the Law & Justice Party (P

Financial crises are recurring phenomena and studying how economic parameters affect outcome and recovery processes will most likely remain an area of intense research also in the years to come. The scope of this paper circulates around the causes and effects of two crises in the period 1985-2013 and their separate effects on the economies of Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Moreover, the main variabl
