Remaking the Law of Encounter: Comparative International Law as Transformative Translation

The Discourse of Proportionality and the Use of Force: International Law and the Power of Definition
Foregrounding standards like ‘proportionality’ and ‘necessity’ have come to assume a central place in the international legal vocabulary for assessing the legitimacy of war. In both ethical and practical terms, the shift towards common standards provides a useful vernacular to assess military operations. But the question remains: how should these terms be interpreted and applied and by whom? Simul
Fossil Fuels Subsidies in the EU: EU State Aid Rules as Control and Phase out Tools - Opportunities and Estimates
The paper aims to identify and analyse potential legal avenues for phasing out fossil fuels in the European Union using EU State aid rules. Our analysis of the EU’s legal framework reveals that the EU State aid rules would allow the European Commission to effectively target and monitor fossil fuel subsidies. In particular, the requirements for notification, examination, transparency, reporting, an
Detection of mosaics in hemophilia A by deep Ion Torrent sequencing and droplet digital PCR
Background: The occurrence of mosaicism in hemophilia A (HA) has been investigated in several studies using different detection methods.Objectives: To characterize and compare the ability of AmpliSeq/Ion Torrent sequencing and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) for mosaic detection in HA.Methods: Ion Torrent sequencing and ddPCR were used to analyze 20 healthy males and 16 mothers o
Ecodesign and the Circular Economy: Conflicting Policies in Europe
The number of policies that address the various life cycle environmental impacts of products are increasing, especially in Europe. With the rise of the Circular Economy (CE) concept, the traditional product policies have been supported by new ones that pursue new policy objectives such as increasing product lifetimes and encourage more repairs. In this contribution we discuss principles for improv
Perceived Adverse Effects of Separating Government Institutions for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation Within the Southern African Development Community Member States
Integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) is widely recognized as a solution for reducing the risk and impacts of disasters. However, successful integration seems elusive, and the two goals continue to function in isolation and in parallel. This article provides empirical insights into the perceived effects of separating government institutions for DRR and CC
Fragmentation and the problem of fit in the governing of flood risk mitigation
Flood risk is a great global concern that is not only affecting developing countries, but threatens to undermine sustainable development also in the most affluent advanced liberal democracies. While political inertia is delaying much needed global change, efforts to reduce risk and adapt to a changing climate are growing on more local levels. However, floods tend not to be bounded by geopolitical,
A wider research culture in peril: A reply to Thomas
In this article we elaborate on the process of institutionalization in the Higher Education performance evaluation ecosystem. We argue, we can observe a shift in how research evaluation functions, namely, from the contribution to knowledge to that of the societal influence of research. Such an axiological shift in evaluation goes to the very core of academic scholarship, as the commoditised neolib
Circulating testican-2 is a podocyte-derived marker of kidney health
In addition to their fundamental role in clearance, the kidneys release select molecules into the circulation, but whether any of these anabolic functions provides insight on kidney health is unknown. Using aptamer-based proteomics, we characterized arterial (A)-to-renal venous (V) gradients for >1,300 proteins in 22 individuals who underwent invasive sampling. Although most of the proteins that c
Tranexamsyra till alla med akut traumatisk hjärnskada?
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability. Progressive intracranial bleeding is common in TBI and worsens outcome. The multicentre, randomized placebo-controlled CRASH-3 study enrolling 12,737 patients showed that early,
Dual topography of laminin corona on gallium arsenide nanowires
Nanowires (NWs) are novel nanomaterials with applications in everything from medical implants to solar cells. With increasing number of applications, it is increasingly likely that organisms are exposed to these materials either intentionally or by accident. It is, therefore, important to study their interactions with biological systems and biomolecules. Upon exposure to biological fluids, nanostr
Plasma C4d Correlates With C4d Deposition in Kidneys and With Treatment Response in Lupus Nephritis Patients
Objective: To examine whether C4d plasma levels correlate with treatment response and C4d kidney deposition in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with lupus nephritis (LN). Methods: C4d plasma levels were analyzed by a unique assay specifically detecting C4d arising from complement activation and C4 plasma levels were quantified with competitive ELISA. SLE patients with LN (71) and active SLE pati

Multi-camera platform calibration using multi-linear constraints
We present a novel calibration method for multi-camera platforms, based on multi-linear constraints. The calibration method can recover the relative orientation between the different cameras on the platform, even when there are no corresponding feature points between the cameras, i.e. there are no overlaps between the cameras. It is shown that two translational motions in different directions are
Factorization with erroneous data
Factorization algorithms for recovering structure and motion from an image stream have many advantages, but traditionally requires a set of well tracked feature points. This limits the usability since, correctly tracked feature points are not available in general. There is thus a need to make factorization algorithms deal successfully with incorrectly tracked feature points. We propose a new compu
