The rapid integration of physical systems with cyberspace infrastructure, the so-called Internet of Things, is likely to have a significant effect on how people interact with the physical environment and design information and communication systems. Internet-connected systems are expected to vastly outnumber people on the planet in the near future, leading to grand challenges in software engineeri

Long- and short-range correlations for pairs of charged particles are studied via two-particle angular correlations in pp collisions at s = 13 TeV and p–Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV. The correlation functions are measured as a function of relative azimuthal angle ∆φ and pseudorapidity separation ∆η for pairs of primary charged particles within the pseudorapidity interval |η| < 0.9 and the trans

Science diplomacy is a unique research field that is driven and shaped by scholars and practitioners alike. This study examines whether and how recent trends in the broader science diplomacy discourse have impacted scholarship on the topic. First, it examines whether the pertinent scholarship is as international in outlook as practitioners have made science diplomacy out to be. Second, the study i

This essay delves into the akiya (vacant houses) problem in Japan, using the phenomenon as a lens to discuss the larger issue of depopulation and repopulation of regional Japan. It builds on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Kochi Prefecture from February to April, 2023, where semi-structured interviews were conducted with official workers and local residents of depopulated areas. The study find

The association between higher education and political attitudes is well-recognized, and research suggests that socialization amongst peers is one of the most probable mechanisms explaining a possible attitudinal change. However, identifying a socialization effect is difficult due to self-selection mechanisms and limitations in data availability. This article empirically investigates the underlyin

Objectives: The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is safe from a long-term perspective since there are no known cumulative risks for patients or personnel. However, the technique comes with several acute risks associated with the powerful electromagnetic fields that are necessary to produce medical images. These risks include, among other things, a projectile hazard, loud noise, and the risk

The capacity for organic micropollutant removal in granular activated carbon (GAC) filters for wastewater treatment changes over time. These changes are in general attributed to changes in adsorption, but may in some cases also be affected by biological degradation. Knowledge on the degradation of organic micropollutants, however, is scarce. In this work, the degradation of micropollutants in seve

The regional small intestinal permeability to the vasopressin analogue desmopressin (dDAVP) was further characterized in proximal jejunal and distal (ileocecal) segments of the rat. Administration of the peptide to closed small intestinal loops confirmed the existence of regional absorption differences also in vivo in rats. Thus, the extent of absorption was about 4 times as high from the ileoceca

The principle of need—the idea that resources should be allocated according to need—is often invoked in priority setting in the health care sector. In this article, I argue that a reasonable principle of need must be indeterminate, and examine three different ways that this can be dealt with: appendicizing the principle with further principles, imposing determinacy, or empowering decision makers.

Critical scholarship has long pointed to the problematic ways in which mainstream International Relations (IR) takes Westphalian state politics to be universally applicable, yet existing analyses fall short of providing an alternative grounding for IR. Departing from the close relationship between medicine and politics, this article advances two arguments. First, Westphalian IR is based on a parti

Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats har varit att undersöka åklagarrollen, med särskilt fokus på objektivitetsprincipen och konfirmeringsbias. Vidare att analysera konfirmeringsbias roll för objektivitetsprincipen och åklagarens objektivitetsplikt under förundersökningen. Objektivitetsprincipen innebär ytterst att domstolar och myndigheter i sin verksamhet ska beakta allas likhet inför lagen samt iakThe purpose of this bachelor thesis has been to investigate the role of the prosecutor, with special focus on the principle of objectivity and confirmation bias. Furthermore, to analyze the role of confirmation bias for the prosecutor’s duty of objectivity during the preliminary investigation. The principle of objectivity ultimately means that courts and authorities in their activities must consid

Följande studie syftade till att undersöka ifall det upplevda sociala stödet och rollförväntningar predicerade den arbetsrelaterade stressen bland sjukvårdspersonal som arbetar inom Region Skåne. Med utgångspunkt i syftet strävade studien efter att besvara följande frågeställning: Hur predicerar socialt stöd och rollförväntningar den arbetsrelaterade stressen hos anställda inom Region Skåne? Urval

This thesis is written within the Master Program of the School of social work at the University of Lund. It comprehends a study of the pre-school personal appreciation about the pedagogical material -Children picture book- for pre-school education in the municipality of Gävle. The methodology of the study is the focus-group approach with slither tone of attitude study. This method help in order to

The method of using morselized compacted cancellous allografts for hip arthroplasty revision shows results that seem to differ dramatically from other kinds of allografting. In structural cancellous allografts, bone ingrowth usually is limited to 2 to 3 mm, whereas morselized compacted grafts seem to be remodeled totally in several cases, as judged by radiography. In the current study, impacted ca
