A major theme of the current “Haitian turn” has been what I call a “universality-analysis”, which stresses that the Haitian Revolution, in contrast to the American and the French, once and for all abolished slavery. The chapter investigates the intervention into the Haitian Turn by two scholars specialized in the history of human rights: Lynn Hunt, who advocates a universality-analysis of the HaitA major theme of the current “Haitian turn” has been what I call a “universality-analysis”, which stresses that the Haitian Revolution, in contrast to the American and the French, once and for all abolished slavery.

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka och öka kunskapen om hur olika parametrar påverkar de dynamiska egenskaperna hos balkbroar i stål som används för gångtrafik. Stålbroar används ofta på grund av sin höga hållfasthet och låga vikt. På grund av de lägre statiska lasterna som orsakas av fotgängare är de dynamiska lasterna vanligtvis dimensionerande. För lätta broar med ett lågt förhålThe aim of this master's thesis was to investigate and increase the knowledge of how different parameters affect the dynamic properties of steel beam bridges used for pedestrian traffic. Steel footbridges are commonly used due to their high strength and low weight. Due to the lower static loads caused by pedestrians, the dynamic loads are usually decisive. For lightweight bridges with a low

När ett barn föds är det mycket i samhället som det ännu inte har träffat på. Ja, faktiskt det mesta. Vem barnet blir och vilka vägar det väljer genom livet kommer att påverkas av många faktorer, däribland utformningen av alla de produkter och miljöer det över tid möter och interagerar med. I detta kapitel ägnar vi oss åt fysiska aspekter av interaktionen mellan individ och samhälle, med fokus på

Cognitive emotion regulation refers to the management of one’s emotions through cognitive strategies. Studies have found that individuals with obsessive–compulsive symptoms utilize emotion regulation strategies differently compared to those without these symptoms. This study aims to investigate the relationship between cognitive strategies for emotion regulation and specific dimensions of obsessiv

Bakgrund: Akutmottagningen är ofta den del av sjukvården patienter först kommer i kontakt med när de behöver akut vård. Sjuksköterskor på akutmottagningar har arbetat i nära kontakt med patienter som drabbats av COVID-19 i en tid av osäkerhet där ständiga anpassningar genomförts för att hantera den nya situationen. Syfte: Beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att arbeta på akutmottagningar under

Machine learning (ML) methods have shown noteworthy skill in recognizing environmental patterns. However, presence of weather noise associated with the chaotic characteristics of water cycle components restricts the capability of standalone ML models in the modeling of extreme climate events such as droughts. To tackle the problem, this article suggests two novel hybrid ML models based on combinat

This presentation draws upon an ongoing research project that explores learning of Swedish folk music across six learning areas. These areas span from what is generally considered formal arenas to informal ones:(A) Music academy (performers programme), (B) Folk high school (full time course), (C) Folk high school (distance course), (D) Fiddlers’ group (spelmanslag), (E) Professional musicians, (F)

This presentation gives an overview of the results from the first part of an ongoing postdoc project in music education. This project aims to explore the role of artistic expression in the teachings at upper secondary school music program from the perspective of music teachers. The study focuses on two courses in which the concept artistic expression appears in the syllabus: Instrument and song 1-

Aviation currently contributes about 3% of the world’s CO2 emissions, 5% of the global warming, and 35% of the trade. Reducing the emissions and the global warming from aviation is thus essential. Many approaches to achieve this goal are underway, including H2, fuel cells, and batteries, but also by replacing the fossil jet fuel with sustainable jet fuel from non-fossil feedstocks. This involves m

A decade ago, Matt Armstrong noted that the War on Terror set the scene for US public diplomacy (PD) to be heavily focused on security. Other countries have focused their PD on image promotion, relationship-building or cultural relations. As digital media practices have slowly been adopted by the majority of foreign ministries, the logics governing social and digital media have also been increasin

AIM: We aimed to examine the effect of Ramadan fasting on interstitial glucose control and variability before, during, and after Ramadan in type 2 diabetes patients receiving insulin therapy.METHODS: Participants received a flash glucose monitoring (FGM) system one week before Ramadan that was removed on the sixth or seventh day (pre- and early Ramadan periods) of Ramadan and a second FGM system o

En av den moderna demokratins mest bestående, och i allt högre grad aktuella, frågor är om, och i vilket avseende, folket kan vara närvarande. Samtidigt som folkets närvaro har, och alltjämt fortsätter att vara, demokratins villkor, har det sedan länge ansetts omöjligt för folket att vara närvarande i faktisk bemärkelse. Enligt det konventionella narrativet har denna frånvaro setts som en nödvändiIn modern political thought, one of the most recalcitrant, and increasingly pressing, questions of modern democracy is whether, and in what sense, the people can be present. While the presence of the people has, and continues to be, the sine qua non of the democratic form of government, it has also been for a long time held that the people cannot be present literally or in fact. According to the c

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) have negative synergistic impact on each other. Global guidelines recommend collaborative efforts to address this synergy, but implementation has been slow. Part of the reason is lack of adequate evidence on the operational feasibility of existing tools and mechanisms of collaboration. The objective of this study was to assess the yield of D

BACKGROUND: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at increased risk of developing TB, but the best screening algorithm for early detection and treatment of TB remains unknown. Our objective was to determine if combining routine chest X-ray screening could have a better yield compared with symptom-based screening alone.METHODS: We conducted this cross-sectional study between September 2020 and S

For two-dimensional steady pure-gravity water waves with a unidirectional flow of constant favourable vorticity, we prove an explicit bound on the amplitude of the wave, which decays to zero as the vorticity tends to infinity. Notably, our result holds true for arbitrary water waves, that is, we do not have to restrict ourselves to periodic or solitary or symmetric waves.
