Anthropology of Rape in War: Sexual Violence and Magical Beliefs in the Congo War.

This paper discusses the landscape of sexual violence in the DR Congo, it draws attention to agency, violence, personhood, emotions and understanding of sexual violence by perpetrators, victims and those organizations seeking to combat the phenomenon. DR Congo have been cited by international actors and media as a region where sexual violence is used "as a weapon of war" and women's situation is c

Implementing WordNet for Swedish adjectives

A Swedish version of WordNet was created and around 300 Swedish adjectives, mainly from the semantic field of strength, were implemented. This paper is a documentation of the implementation. The purpose of the study was to investigate the possibilities of applying WordNet to Swedish and to illuminate general problems with WordNet as well as specific problems in the handling of adjectives. First, a

Ash-Line Control

For efficient firing in sloping grate bark furnaces, it is important to control the ash line position on the grate. The ash line is the border between burning fuel and fuel which is burned out (ash). Here, the problem of detecting the ash line with an image processing system is treated. The presentation of trend curves to the operator is of special interest. The process is slow and trend curves pr

The occurrence of hypothermia in nestlings of the European Storm-petrel Hydrobates pelagicus

Although Procellariiform nestlings develop independent endothermic thermoregulation at an early age, they may not be able to meet the high energetic costs of maintaining a constant high body temperature during prolonged periods of fasting or cold exposure. The ability to reduce body temperature and enter torpor could therefore represent an important survival strategy in the Procellariiformes. It i

Relevance of heat transfer and heat exchangers for development of sustainable energy systems

There are many reasons why heat transfer and heat exchangers play a key role in the development of sustainable energy systems as well as in the reduction of emissions and pollutants. In general, all attempts to achieve processes and thermodynamic cycles with high efficiency, low emissions, low costs include heat transfer and heat exchangers to a large extent. It is known that sustainable energy de
