Assessment of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations Efforts toward the Precautionary Approach and Science-Based Stock Management and Compliance Measures

The sustainable management of the ocean as a global food source has been prominent in recent debates due to the disproportionate rate of human consumption, depletion of fish stocks and shortcomings in conservation efforts. Criticisms from various sectors on the effectiveness of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMO) in relation to their mandates have prompted performance reviews (PRs)

A referent grammatical analysis of relative clauses

Relative clauses have traditionally been said to have an antecedent or a correlate corresponding to a coreferent, missing, and relativized constituent in the relative clause (some representative works on relative clauses are mentioned in the list of references). Referent grammar (Sigurd, 1987) assumes referent variables in the syntactic representations of noun phrases and it is natural to assume t

The potential of Swetra - A multilanguage MT system

One may indicate the potentials of an MT system by stating what text genres it can process, e.g., weather reports and technical manuals. This approach is practical, but misleading, unless domain knowledge is highly integrated in the system. Another way to indicate which fragments of language the system can process is to state its grammatical potentials, or more formally, which languages the gramma

Acoustophoresis in polymer-based microfluidic devices : Modeling and experimental validation

A finite-element model is presented for numerical simulation in three dimensions of acoustophoresis of suspended microparticles in a microchannel embedded in a polymer chip and driven by an attached piezoelectric transducer at MHz frequencies. In accordance with the recently introduced principle of whole-system ultrasound resonances, an optimal resonance mode is identified that is related to an ac

Entrepreneurial learning in extra-curricular start-up programs for students

AbstractPurpose: This study focuses on extra-curricular start-up programs for students at higher educational institutions. It explores the social and situated learning experiences of students who participate in start-up programs, as well as how the processes and outcomes of entrepreneurial learning are potentially shaped by this context.Design/Methodology: The study follows multiple cohorts of stu

Vad jag tänker på när jag tänker på fönster : Hur boende upplever och använder sina fönsteröppningar

Är fönsteröppningar självklara? I så fall borde vi kunna svara påfrågan varför, men det är inte helt lätt. Bokens huvudbudskap är attfönsteröppningen tycks spela en nyckelroll för trivseln i hemmetinte minst för att den påverkar flera aspekter av boendekomfort.Boken vänder sig till de som på olika sätt påverkar ljus- ochmörkerförhållanden i bostäder och därigenom indirekt boendeshälsa och välbefin

Rapid decline of yearly number of hip arthroscopies in Sweden : a retrospective time series of 6,105 hip arthroscopies based on a national patient data register

Background and purpose - Hip arthroscopies (HAs) have increased exponentially worldwide and are expected to continue rising. We describe time trends in HA procedures in Sweden (10 million inhabitants) between 2006 and 2018 with a focus on procedure rates, surgical procedures, and patient demographics such as age and sex distribution.Patients and methods - We retrospectively collected data from the

Technology‐delivered cognitive‐behavioral therapy for pediatric anxiety disorders: a meta‐analysis of remission, posttreatment anxiety, and functioning

BackgroundThe efficacy of technology-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy (tCBT) for pediatric anxiety disorders (ADs) is uncertain as no meta-analysis has examined outcomes in trials that used structured diagnostic assessments at pre- and posttreatment.MethodsWe carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of tCBT for pediatric ADs that included parti

Aligning Video-And Structured Data for Imaging Optimisation

Imaging optimisation can benefit from combining structured data with qualitative data in the form of audio and video recordings. Since video is complex to work with, there is a need to find a workable solution that minimises the additional time investment. The purpose of the paper is to outline a general workflow that can begin to address this issue. What is described is a data management process

A MODEL FOR EVALUATING THE USE OF IMAGING IN IMAGE-GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES-POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS ON OPTIMISATION OF RADIATION PROTECTION

The present study focuses on introducing the concept of optimisation and proposing a model, including evaluation of image quality, to be used in the clinical routines where image-guided intervention is being performed. The overall aim of the study was to develop a model for evaluating the use of imaging in X-ray-guided interventional procedures and its possible implications on optimisation of radi

Membrane operations in the sugar and brewing industry

This chapter is focusing on membrane applications in the sugar and brewing industries. Both industries are established global industries operating with large process streams and having a wide range of separation needs. Despite these needs, membrane processes are still in their infancy in these two industries. The key challenge of membrane processes in these industries is membrane fouling due to th

Replication and cross-validation of type 2 diabetes subtypes based on clinical variables : an IMI-RHAPSODY study

Aims/hypothesis: Five clusters based on clinical characteristics have been suggested as diabetes subtypes: one autoimmune and four subtypes of type 2 diabetes. In the current study we replicate and cross-validate these type 2 diabetes clusters in three large cohorts using variables readily measured in the clinic. Methods: In three independent cohorts, in total 15,940 individuals were clustered bas
