We investigate the seismicity rate behaviour in and around Greece during 2009, seeking significant changes in rate preceding larger events. For individual larger events it is difficult to clearly distinguish precursory rate changes from other, possibly unrelated, variations in seismicity. However, when we aggregate seismicity data occurring within a radius of 10 km and in a 50-day window prior to

The chapter deals with Seediq vocal expressions that start with a short motif that is often repeated once and then followed by another motif, which is repeated once etc. This pattern is sometimes called ‘litany form’. The form that results when two persons sing in alternation is called canonic repetition. It is shown that such performances can be understood as being built on performance templates

The dual-mode ramjet engine is one of the most promising propulsion systems for hypersonic flight because it can be operated in a wide range of flight Mach numbers. This engine type will be quite complicated to use in practice since it requires Ma

Vår forskning visar på att klimatkrisen inte är en kris i det yttre, utan snarare en inre relationskris. Den drivs av växelspelet mellan vårt inre liv och klimat-förändringarna, vilket i nuläget försämrar både det personliga och planetära välbefinnandet. Detta växelspel demonstrerar att våra inre liv inte bara är offer för den ökande klimatpåverkan. Det är också en viktig drivkraft bakom klimatkri

While teacher–student relationships are of central importance for students' motivation, they remain under-investigated. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach and focusing on the 'relationality' of teacher–student relationships, this study examines the identity-work that takes place when a teacher makes visible an aspect of identity not normally salient in the classroom. Framing self-disclosure as

One of the main issues in context of the severe economical changes on the local media market and the measures the media companies are forced to take is how to maintain high quality of news journalism in the local press. There are concerns that the quality of news will decline and content will be commercialized as McManus (1994) describes it as a market-driven journalism when profit becomes the leaThe local media organisations in Sweden have the last years been involved in initiating new model of business (Melesko 2013). They have mainly been based on economical actions, as cut-downs of editorial staff, integration of different pressrooms and expanded co-operation between papers within same media organisations (Nygren 2013). For instance, editorials and cover of culture news has on several

We discuss the sequence of developments that over the past 90 years led to current insights on heavy-element stability. The semi-empirical mass model, and its extension to deformed shapes, developed in the period 1936–1950 allowed the interpretation of nuclear fission. Around 1950 the spherical single-particle model was developed, soon after with extension to deformed nuclei. Speculations about a

This paper focuses on the different activities that multinational enterprises (MNEs) can develop to promote sustainability through a market-driving process that shapes market conditions and influences critical stakeholders. Our focus is on interactions with external and internal stakeholders that drive sustainability. Empirically, this study is based on qualitative case studies of two Swedish MNEs

“holding one’s own in an unfinished systemit simply stresses the multiples at play”This exhibition takes its name from a 1987 text by Canadian artist Ellie Epp. The unfinished systems in which Epp and British artist Juliette Blightman hold their own are multiple: from the commitments of the artists’ daily lives, to the context of the societies they occupy, to the art institutions which provide one
