Rapport från ett seminarium sept. 2014 i Manama i Zimbabwe, om diakonens identitet i Lutherska kyrkan i Zimbabwe och i Sverige, två år efter den första vigningen (ordinationen) av diakoner i Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zombabwe.Report from a seminar i Manama in Zimbabwe September 2014: "The Identity of the Deacon in Zimbabwe and Sweden", two years after the first ordination of deacons in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zimbabwe (ELCZ).
A modern gas turbine compressor, with its highly aerodynamically loaded blades, is sensitive to changes in profile shape and to surface roughness. Fouling is inevitable, despite highly efficient filtration systems. The remedy to this problem is washing. There are two different approaches, online or off-line washing. The off-line wash is the most effective one, whilst on-line washing only prolongs
This chapter contains an outline of the Swedish social security system with a focus on sickness benefits in the social security and unemployment insurance. The Swedish legislator’s ambition has been to create parity between different forms of employment as well as between those who are self-employed and those who operate in different company structures. Legislative amendments in this area have mai
Purpose of review: In comatose cardiac arrest survivors, the electroencephalogram (EEG) is the most widely used test to assess the severity of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) and guide antiseizure treatment. However, a wide variety of EEG patterns are described in literature. Moreover, the value of postarrest seizure treatment is uncertain. Absent N20 waves of short-latency somatosensory-evok
Migratoriness in birds is evolutionary labile, with many examples of increasing or decreasing migration distances on the timescale of modern ornithology. In contrast, shifts of migration to more nearby wintering grounds seem to be a slow process. We examine the history of how Palearctic migratory landbirds have expanded their wintering ranges to include both tropical Africa and Asia, a process tha
We introduce a new database of historical Genuine Savings (GS), an indicator of sustainable development promoted by the World Bank and widely used in contemporary economic research. GS derives from the theoretical work on wealth accounting, and addresses shortcomings in conventional metrics of economic development by incorporating broader measures of saving and investment, including human capital
Certainty equivalence adaptive controllers are analysed using a “data-driven Riccati equation”, corresponding to the model-free Bellman equation used in Q-learning. The equation depends quadratically on data correlation matrices. This makes it possible to derive simple sufficient conditions for stability and robustness to unmodeled dynamics in adaptive systems. The paper is concluded by short rema
Background:Serious illness conversations are an iterative, interprofessional, team-based process that includes recommendations about medical care. Yet, it is not clear how clinicians in different role groups work together in this process.Objectives:We sought to examine how interprofessional clinicians in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) who were trained in the serious illness care program (S
ObjectiveDopaminergic medications are commonly prescribed for Parkinson's disease (PD), restless legs syndrome, pituitary and psychotic disorders. Accumulating evidence indicates that dopaminergic treatment triggers impulsive-compulsive behaviors (ICBs), yet systematic synthesis of clinical evidence remains limited.MethodThis scoping review summarizes original research directly clinically relevant
DNA carries the genetic code of life, with different conformations associated with different biological functions. Predicting the conformation of DNA from its primary sequence, although desirable, is a challenging problem owing to the polymorphic nature of DNA. We have deployed a host of machine learning algorithms, including the popular state-of-the-art LightGBM (a gradient boosting model), for b
This contribution analyses the evolution of public support for the single European currency, the euro, from 1990 to 2014 for a 12-country sample of the euro area (EA-12), focusing on the most recent period of the financial and sovereign debt crisis, starting in 2008. We find that citizens’ support for the euro on average was marginally reduced during the first six years of the crisis, and that sup
Den snabba utvecklingen av elektrifiering av vägtransporter i Sverige kräver forskningsbaserade beslut om placeringen av laddinfrastruktur. Europeiska unionens (EU) nya förordning för infrastruktur för alternativa bränslen (AFIR) specificerar det maximala tillåtna avståndet mellan offentliga snabbladdningsstationer (FCS) för tunga lastbilar längs det transeuropeiska transportnätverket (TEN-T). EffThe rapid progression of the electrification of road transport in Sweden requires effective research based decisions on the location of charging infrastructure. The new European Union (EU) regulation for alternative fuel infrastructure (AFIR) specifies the maximum allowed distance between public fast-charging stations (FCSs) for heavy-duty trucks along the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T).
