Scholars discuss about the importance of processes of communication in which all stakeholders actively participate influencing the constitution and development of change and organizations. However, communication professionals struggle to em-brace these assumptions and modify their roles and practices in these complex set-tings. This study aims to understand how practitioners adapt their roles in t
A method for determination of the accessible volume fraction in gels as function of the molecular weight of the solutes is presented. The pore-size distribution is determined by measuring the rate of diffusion of a mixture of solutes into a gel using gel filtration for separation. The solutes, of various sizes, are detected by refractive index measurements. Two marker molecules (blue dextran and g
The concept of integrated risk management (IRM) has developed as a response to more interconnected and complex contexts. To investigate how the concept is used and what is meant with integration in the scientific literature, a research profiling was carried out across all kinds of risk management applications. 1094 publications from scientific journals, conference proceedings, and books were inclu
The article analyses the climate policy of the German Trade Union Federation over the last 30 years. It defines a new form of eco social partnership unionism where unions use existing institutions to adapt to the challenges of climate change without embarking on more transformative avenues questioning the status quo. We show that unions climate policy has been subject to little change over the pas
Traffic accidents cause over 1.2 million deaths, and tens of millions of people are injured or disabled every year. Advanced driver assistant systems and other safety features have the possibility to reduce traffic accidents but do not account for human errors. Studies show that over 90% of all traffic accidents are caused by human errors. One way to reduce human errors is to introduce automation,
In the past decade the European Union has established itself as an actor in Civilian Crisis Management. This process has been accompanied by a set-up and development of various institutions and concepts that guide the work in this field. As well as in other areas of European foreign policy, in Civilian Crisis Management a gap between policy-making and outcome can be identified. Taking this as a st
Denna uppsats undersöker Europeiska domstolen för de mänskliga rättigheternas (Europadomstolen) praxis gällande rättigheter för trans- och intersexpersoner, inkluderat rätten till icke-diskriminering, mot bakgrund av Sandra Fredmans fyrdimensionella teori om reell jämlikhet (substantive equality). Även om domstolen historiskt sett har strävat efter att främja och skydda transpersoners rättigheter,This thesis examines the European Court of Human Rights’ jurisprudence on trans and intersex rights, including the right to non-discrimination, in the light of Sandra Fredman’s four-dimensional theoretical framework on substantive equality. While the Court historically has made some strives in promoting and protecting the rights of trans people, considerations of non-discrimination and equality ha
The aim of this thesis is to investigate what potential role eschatological anthropology played in the writings of the monk-bishop Diadochus of Photice (c. 400–c. 486) in order to ease some of the historical tension between the ecclesiastical tradition and the monastic tradition. To explore this topic, the writings attributed to Diadochus of Photice (the Century of Gnostic Chapters, the Homily on
We build a model to predict from first principles the properties of major mergers. We predict these from the coalescence of peaks and saddle points in the vicinity of a given larger peak, as one increases the smoothing scale in the initial linear density field as a proxy for cosmic time. To refine our results, we also ensure, using a suite of ∼400 power-law Gaussian random fields smoothed at ∼30 d
3D property formation has become an important solution to provide a more comprehensive and accurate representation of the property's physical characteristics than traditional 2D property formation. Despite the numerous benefits of the 3D property formation, there is a need for more detailed descriptions of 3D cadastral data delivery between the involved actors to ensure efficient and effective col
The New Horizons flyby of the cold classical Kuiper Belt object MU69 showed it to be a contact binary. The existence of other contact binaries in the 1–10 km range raises the question of how common these bodies are and how they evolved into contact. Here we consider that the pre-contact lobes of MU69 formed as a binary embedded in the Solar nebula, and calculate its subsequent orbital evolution in
The purpose of this study was to investigate the early alterations of retinal function, assessed with electrophysiology, in newly onset type 2 diabetes patients without vascular retinopathy. Seventeen patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (duration 7 ± 3 months), without any vascular retinopathy in fundus photographs, were examined with full-field electroretinogram (ERG) and multifocal ERG
Purpose: To evaluate patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and neovascular glaucoma (NVG) using electrophysiology in order to gain better understanding of visual outcome and risk factors, such as previously diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods: Eighty-three patients (83 eyes) initially presenting with CRVO and examined with full-field electroretinography (ERG) within
Consider a quadratic form of a vector valued differentiable stationary Gaussian process. The crossing intensity of a fixed level depends on the joint correlation structure of the process and its derivative, but no simple exact form is known for the general case. We give the first and second terms in an asymptotic expansion, which is valid as the level tends to infinity, and show how to find higher
Popular Abstract in Swedish Modern gastroenterologi är till stora delar helt beroende av resultat från gastrointestinal endoskopi och många av de sjukdomar som hänförs till denna specialitet kan också behandlas med modern endoskopisk och minimal invasiv teknik. Gastroskopi är förstahandsundersökning av patienter med såväl kroniska som akuta symptom från övre gastrointestinalkanalen. Den gastroskopChromoendoscopy, endoscopic tissue staining, is an adjunctive method using chemical agents applied to the mucosal surface in order to aid gastrointestinal endoscopic diagnosis and therapy. Acid producing mucosa in the GI tract may be visualized endoscopically by Congo red staining in combination with stimulation of gastric acid production. Congo red is a reactive indicator dye that changes color f
The effect of reaction parameters on lipase-mediated chemo-enzymatic epoxidation of linoleic acid was investigated. Hydrogen peroxide was found to have the most significant effect on the reaction rate and degree of epoxidation. Excess of hydrogen peroxide with respect to the amount of double bonds was necessary in order to yield total conversion within a short time period, as well as at temperatur
From the half-angle substitution of trigonometric terms in the Ernst equation, rational approximations of the flip angle dependence of the FLASH signal can be derived. Even the rational function of the lowest order was in good agreement with the experiment for flip angles up to 20°. Three-dimensional maps of the signal amplitude and longitudinal relaxation rates in human brain were obtained from e
