The article focuses on the entanglement between the EU’s attempts to construct its external actions in global politics and research on the EU as a global actor. The article argues that both the development of EU external actions and the sociology of knowledge production surrounding the analysis of these actions suffer from unnecessary dichotomisation. Advocates and analysts of the EU’s normative p

In an era of European crises over political legitimacy, economic austerity, and collapse of confidence in the EU the topic of European integration has be-come a very emotional subject. The anger which protestors demonstrate against economic austerity, the hate which nationalist far-right parties express for the EU and fellow Europeans, and the passion with which supporters of the EU argue for grea

Denna avhandling utforskar den stratosfäriska aerosolen genom både in-situ mätningar och fjärranalys. Bakgrundsaerosolen är komplex och påverkas av injektioner av skogsbrandrökspartiklar och av partiklar skapade från vulkaniskt SO2. Klimatmodeller behöver träffsäkra beskrivningar av den stratosfäriska aerosolen för att ha rimliga strålningsbudgetar. Genom att använda fjärranalystekniken satellitbuThis thesis explores the stratospheric aerosol through both in-situ measurements and remote sensing. The background stratospheric aerosol is complex and is perturbed by injections of forest fire smoke particles and by particles formed from volcanic SO2. Climate models need accurate description of the stratospheric aerosol in order to have sound radiation budgets. Using the remote sensing technique

Background: Limited information is available regarding intraoperative ventilator settings and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures. The aim of this post-hoc analysis of the 'Multicentre Local ASsessment of VEntilatory management during General Anaesthesia for Surgery' (LAS VEGAS) study was to examine the ventilator settings o

Background: Although survivors of childhood cancer are at risk of chronic pain, the impact of pain on daily functioning is not well understood. Methods: A total of 2836 survivors (mean age, 32.2 years [SD, 8.5 years]; mean time since diagnosis, 23.7 years [SD, 8.2 years]) and 343 noncancer community controls (mean age, 35.5 years [SD, 10.2 years]) underwent comprehensive medical, neurocognitive, a

I denne artikel sætter Rikke Lie Halberg både fokus på nationalmuseet som fænomen og rigsfællesskabets tre nationale museer. Museer, der formidler dele af en fælles fortid i rigsfællesskabet.

BackgroundDegree of distress perceived due to tinnitus is different in every individual. Underlying mechanisms for this are yet unclear.ObjectiveInvestigating the relationship between hearing status and tinnitus distress.Material and methodsThis is a case-control study. 38 individuals with tinnitus, divided into normal hearing (NHT, n = 19) and hearing impaired (HIT, n = 19) groups. Groups were ag

Grasslands are key repositories of biodiversity and carbon storage and are heavily impacted by effects of global warming and changes in precipitation regimes. Patterns of grassland dynamics associated with variability in future climate conditions across spatiotemporal scales are yet to be adequately quantified. Here, we performed a global meta-analysis of year and growing season sensitivities of v

Background: Occupational therapists are generally positive towards use of measuring tools. However, such use may be problematic.Purpose: To illuminate hidden and adverse effects of using measuring tools in occupational therapy.Method: A Foucauldian inspired thematic analysis of the use of measuring tools in 13 reports of practice development projects in Denmark.Findings: Three themes were construcBackground.Occupational therapists are generally positive towards use of measuring tools.

Organic carbon burial in lake sediments plays an important role in the global carbon cycle, and is heavily affected by the terrestrial organic matter input. However, few studies have focused on long-term changes in terrestrial organic matter input to lakes in response to land-use changes. The aim of this study was to assess variations in sedimentary terrestrial organic matter over the last 1000 ye

To expand our understanding of what tasks are particularly helped by UV vision and may justify the costs of focusing high-energy light onto the retina, we used an avian-vision multispectral camera to image diverse vegetated habitats in search of UV contrasts that differ markedly from visible-light contrasts. One UV contrast that stood out as very different from visible-light contrasts was that of

In this paper, a numerical study of flow, reactions and NOx emissions from a biomass boiler is presented. Detailed reaction mechanisms for the decomposition of tar species, combustion of hydrocarbons and formation of NOx are employed by adopting appropriate reaction sets from literature. The proposed mechanism is used to perform CFD simulations of a laboratory-scale biomass boiler, and temperature

This paper experimentally investigates the effect of various magnetic fields on the performance of a plate heat exchanger filled with ferrofluids. Spherical nanoparticles Fe3O4 with an average diameter of 20 nm are dispersed into DI-water to synthesize the ferrofluid. Thermal performance and flow characteristics of the ferrofluid with 0.1% particle concentration are investigated based on various a
