The epitome of this article is the reflection upon the question of “How long is now?” This question is interpreted within the context of the Iraq war, 2003 and onwards, as the enduring now specified. Drawing on parallels from the European World War II experience and the use of “Auschwitz” as a metaphor for a specifically Christian guilt articulated in relation to the Pauline eschatological hope of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Så gott som alla metaller reagerar vid normala omständigheter med syret i luften och oxideras, vilket förändrar materialets egenskaper. T.ex. rostar järn efter hand, något som alla bilägare är bittert medvetna om. Oxider behöver dock inte vara negativa, utan kan även fungera som barriärer mot fortsatt korrosion, isolerande skikt i mikroelektronikkomponenter m.m. FöljaktThe oxidation of Rh, Pd and Pt is studied under conditions ranging from ultra high vacuum to ambient pressures, with emphasis on a complete understanding of the geometry of the various oxide structures found. The investigations use a combination of various experimental methods, including high resolution core level spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction, surface x-ray diffraction and scannin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Skivepitelcancer i huvud- och halsregionen (SCCHN) Kliniska aspekter Prognosen vid SCCHN är i stort sett oförändrat dålig sedan 30 år tillbaka; cirka hälften av patienterna dör av sin sjukdom. Trots stora tekniska framsteg kring behandlingsteknikerna (ofta en kombination av kirurgi, strål- och i viss mån cellgiftsbehandling) medför dAt present, clinical outcome or response to therapy can not be fully predicted in individual cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The overall aim of the present studies was to investigate potential prognostic factors, more closely related to the malignant progression of a tumor than the established markers, such as the TNM-classification system. Tumor samples were investi

Purpose – In the recent redefinition of the European Commission's corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy, attention is brought to CSR as a motor for innovation. However, literature in the area remains scarce. This chapter describes and discusses innovation as a consequence of a firm's CSR activities. Methodology/approach – The empirical part of the chapter is based on the content analysis

I detta kapitel analyseras kvalitetsidéns resa inom hälso- och sjukvården från det att idén började göra sig gällande i mitten av 1980-talet och fram till att den lagstadgades i slutet på 1990-talet. De problem som kvalitetsidén sätts som lösning på inom den svenska hälso- och sjukvården beskrivs och utvecklingen av kvalitetssäkring följs från idé till lag. I kapitlet beskrivs några av de försök s

Let $w$ be a positive on $[0,1)$ which is concave, decreasing and tends to $0$ at $1$. The space $H_w$ of analytic functions $f$ satisfying $\|f\|^2_w\coloneq |f(0)|^2+\int_{|z|<1}|f'(z)|^2w(|z|)dm(z)<\infty$ (where $dm(z)=dxdy$) is a Hilbert space lying between the usual Dirichlet space (where $w\equiv 1$) and the Hardy space (where $w(r)=1-r$). It is shown in this paper that every element of $

he lack of ability to emphathise is central to many psychiatric conditions. Empathy is affected by neurodevelopment, brain pathology and psychiatric illness. Empathy is both a state and a trait characteristic. Empathy is measurable by neuropsychological assessment and neuroimaging techniques. This book specifically focuses on the role of empathy in mental illness. It starts with the clinical psych

Various policy instruments and policy reforms are being implemented to encourage Green Growth and Green Economy. However, comprehensive ex-post evaluation policy methods have yet to be developed. The emerging literature shows that there is substantial ambiguity and discrepancy about how to measure the performance of policy instruments driving a Green Economy in general and, in our case, a Green En

Popular Abstract in English Life on earth has evolved countless forms, beautiful shapes and colors as well as astonishingly complex systems. Remarkably, all living creatures consist of cells, which themselves are build from the same basic set of molecules, most importantly nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), lipids and proteins. The latter are large macromolecules that fulfill a vast number of tasks; theThe three-dimensional structure of protein is encoded in its amino acid sequence. Modern structure prediction algorithms make it possible to predict the structure of small proteins using sequence information alone. We used the Fold-and-Dock algorithm, which is part of the Rosetta macromolecular modeling suite, for de novo structure prediction of coiled-coil proteins. Members of this protein family
