Chapter 3 examines the techniques and elements of paramilitarism through the intersections of both domestic and foreign policy. By focusing on extralegal activities as a derivative of state violence, the interactions between domestic and foreign policy and the continuities of unconventional warfare are analyzed. Specifically, it explores how Turkey has acquired and transformed modern forms of unco
Emerging from the citizen movements of the early 2010s, New Municipalism merges the administrative capacity of municipal government with the organizational capacities of activists and social movements to build more equal, just and ecological local economies. In these contexts, Digital Municipal Currencies (DMCs) emerge as potent instruments of counter-hegemonic struggle, enabling cities to impleme
Stable carbon isotope curves derived from Lower Triassic carbonate rocks from three Iranian sections are established to investigate changes in the carbon cycle during the Early Triassic in this area. The sections are located in the south-center (Abadeh), north (Amol), and northwest (Zal) of Iran. All three curves show a similar pattern starting out with high δ13C values in the uppermost Permian de
This Letter presents a search for highly ionizing magnetic monopoles in (Formula presented) of ultraperipheral (Formula presented) collision data at (Formula presented) collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. A new methodology that exploits the properties of clusters of hits reconstructed in the innermost silicon detector layers is introduced to study highly ionizing particles in heavy-ion dat
Numerical models of meteorite delivery from impacts on the Moon have demonstrated that the impact event forming the lunar crater Tycho (~85 km diameter; ca. 109 Ma age) would have delivered considerable amounts of ejected material to Earth. The ejecta, containing lunar Ti- and V-rich chrome spinels, would have been distributed globally and admixed with seafloor sediments over a few meters of a typ
The lung may be the organ whose mechanical environment needs to be most finely tuned to achieve optimal function. These needs have to be fulfilled at multiple scales, from proper force transmission between the chest wall and the parenchyma to reduction of surface tension by surfactants inside the alveoli. In addition, a plethora of mechanical loads and forces takes place within the lung, from the
This study analyses the influence of green roofs in different heights of the urban canopy layer: from the pedestrian level, up to 1m above the rooftop, in a social housing project in the South of Brazil. In order to quantify the cooling contribution of green roofs to the local microclimate, the housing project was simulated with ENVI-met 4.0 in the summer season. The variables used to assess the g
Research on (verbo-) pictorial metaphors and other rhetorical figures is primarily focused on the genre of advertising, leaving other genres under-investigated. In this study, we focus on street art, a visually perceived cross-cultural medium used to address sociopolitical issues. This genre typically combines two interacting semiotic systems – language and depiction – and is thus a form of polyse
Music is used in many professional contexts that are not associated, in a traditional sense, with either music therapy or music education. How do professionals in different contexts use music, and how do they describe their thoughts about music in their professional work? Those are the main questions in our inquiry, focusing on narratives about music and health in professional relations. In this p
Evacuation is an important activity for reducing the number of casualties and amount of damage in disaster management. Evacuation planning is tackled as a spatial optimization problem. The decision-making process for evacuation involves high uncertainty, conflicting objectives, and spatial constraints. This study presents a Multi-Objective A
This paper summarises a comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation study for precision resonance energy scan measurements. Apart from the proof of principle for natural width and line shape measurements of very narrow resonances with PANDA, the achievable sensitivities are quantified for the concrete example of the charmonium-like X(3872) state discussed to be exotic, and for a larger parameter space of
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder caused by clonal proliferation of primitive hematopoietic stem cell. The median age at diagnosis is 55 to 60 years with less than 10% of patients younger 20 years. Incidence of CML in children in the Czech Republic is 0.106 cases/100 thousands per year. Here we report outcome of 38 pediatric patients (median age 12.5 years; range 1.8
The Ukrainian Shield and Voronezh Crystalline Massif constitute the Sarmatian segment of Baltica. Here, only a few mafic-ultramafic dykes and layered intrusions have been dated, recording early Statherian (ca. 1800–1750 Ma) ages. We have determined new U-Pb baddeleyite ages for the Novogol sill (1789 ± 2 Ma) and the Gremyachye intrusion (1781 ± 7 Ma), which fall within the previously established a
The use of the magnetic-field-induced transition (MIT) in Fe X for the measurement of the magnetic field strength in the solar corona has been discussed and demonstrated in a number of recent studies. This diagnostic technique depends on, among other conditions, the accuracy of the atomic data for Fe X. In the present work, we carry out a large-scale calculation for the atomic properties needed fo
