The 'Difference Engine': : Constructing and Representing the International Identity of the European Union
The purpose of this article is to develop more fully the notion of the international identity of the European Union (EU) in world politics. We will attempt to balance our previous focus of work on the "active dimension' of the EU' s attempts to "assert its identity on the international scene'; by looking at the "reflexive dimension'; of the EU's international identity from a more sociological pers

Management of “the unaccompanied.” In search of a rights-based approach in the context of Swedish “crisis politics”
This chapter focuses on recent policies adopted by the Swedish government in its management of unaccompanied children, and asks what the implications are for the concerned children’s rights. Focusing on conditions for rights, the chapter identifies three tensions which illustrate spaces for rights claiming: the boundary between who is a child and who is an adult, the division of responsibility bet
HIV incidence and associated risk factors in adolescent girls and young women in South Africa : A population-based cohort study
Background In sub-Saharan Africa, high HIV incidence rates in adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) persist despite extensive HIV prevention efforts. Methods A prospective cohort of 2,710 HIV-negative AGYW (15–24 years) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa were interviewed at baseline and followed-up approximately 18 months later (2014–2017). Associations between HIV seroconversion and socio-demograph
Medicinska åldersbedömningar
Det är sommar 2016 och tv-programmet Uppdrag granskning sänder ett uppmärksammat avsnitt om åldersbedömningar i asylprocessen: Ålder: okänd. Reportaget utgår från flera fall där vuxna sagt sig vara barn och som en följd av det placerats med barn som de sedan utsatt för grova övergrepp. Dessa avskyvärda händelser kunde ske, låter journalisterna påskina, därför att läkare och tandläkare avstått från
The emotional well-being of parents with children at genetic risk for type 1 diabetes before and during participation in the POInT-study
Introduction: This study examined the emotional impact that parents experience when confronted with an increased genetic risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in their child. Population-based screening of neonates for genetic risk of chronic disease carries the risk of increased emotional burden for parents. Methods: Information was collected using a well-being questionnaire for parents of infants identif
The British Presidency of 1998 : New Labour, New Tone?
In this chapter I will offer some critical reflections on the British Presidency of the EU in a way which promotes comparison with other Presidencies in the period 1997 to 2002. In particular I will try to develop ways of thinking about the evaluation and comparison of Presidencies which takes into account both formal and informal factors. In order to achieve this I will use the framework adopted
An early anonymous Greek translation of the Qur'ān : The fragments from Niketas Byzantios' Refutatio and the anonymous Abjuratio
Abstract in SpanishPresentamos en este artículo los fragmentos de la primera traducción completa conocida del Corán, acompañados de una introducción y notas. Esta traducción al griego, realizada algún tiempo antes de 780 d.C., no ha sido hasta ahora reconocida en los estudios coránicos ni en los bizantinos, sin que sus principales rasgos hayan sido advertidos. En el artículo argumentamos que la trIn this article the fragments of the first known complete translation of the Qur’ān are presented with introduction and notes. This translation into Greek, produced sometime before 870 CE, has not previously been recognized in Qur’ānic or Byzantine studies, and its main traits have not been noted. In the article it is argued that the translation attempts to render the Qur’ānic text closely and in
Sentinel Node Identification with Hybrid Tracer-guided and Conventional Dynamic Sentinel Node Biopsy in Penile Cancer : A Prospective Study in 130 Patients from the Two National Referral Centres in Sweden
BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that a hybrid indocyanine green (ICG)-99mTc-nanocolloid tracer improves sentinel node (SN) identification compared to conventional dynamic sentinel node biopsy (DSNB). OBJECTIVE: To investigate hybrid tracer-guided SN identification in a multicentre setting and determine false-negative (FN) and complication rates. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A total of 130 patien
Steel Beyond Coal : Socio-Technical Change and the Emergent Politics of Steel Decarbonisation
The steel industry is responsible for 8% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and is the second largest user of coal after the power sector. The main emission source in steel production is the blast furnace, which converts iron ore and metallurgical coal into pig iron that is then further refined into steel. Past efforts to reduce emissions from steel have focussed on increasing energy ef

Initial experience with introducing national Swedish guidelines for CT- and MRI-based delineation of organs at risk in radiotherapy
A fundamental problem in radiotherapy is the variation of organ at risk (OAR) volumes. Here we present our initial experience in engaging a large Radiation Oncology (RO) community to agree on national guidelines for OAR delineations. Our project builds on associated standardization initiatives and invites professionals from all radiotherapy departments nationwide. Presently, one guideline (rectum)
Thermodynamic performance in a liquid oxygen tank during active-pressurization under different gas injection temperatures
In this study, a numerical model is developed to investigate the active-pressurization performance in a liquid oxygen tank. The VOF method is used to predict the thermal behavior in the liquid oxygen tank with consideration of interface phase change. The numerical model is validated against the experimental results with relative error < 5%. The effect of the gas injection temperature on the tank t

Endogenous incretin levels and risk of first incident cancer: a prospective cohort study
Concerns have been raised regarding a potentially increased risk of cancer associated with treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Here, we explored whether fasting and oral glucose tolerance test post-challenge glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and GLP-1 levels were associated with incident first cancer. Within the cardiovascular re-examination arm of the po

In November 2007, the Danish Parliament asked the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) to prepare a report on developments in the EUsince 2000 in the areas covered by the four Danish ropt-outs. In the commission for the investigation, it is requested to include the development that a new treaty basis (the Treaty of Lisbon) gives rise to. This investigation therefore examines developme
Pencil beam scanning proton therapy of Hodgkin’s lymphoma in deep inspiration breath-hold: a case series report
BackgroundMost patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma are young and have a favourable prognosis, therefore it is of high importance to decrease the radiation doses to normal tissues received during radiotherapy. A combination of proton therapy and deep inspiration breath-hold technique (DIBH) can improve the sparing effect and thereby reduce the risk of late effects.Case presentationThe two first patien
