Background The colonisation of Australia led to a lot of suffering and sorrow for an uncountable amount of Indigenous people. Due to the forced change of lifestyle and diet during and after the colonisation, conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes became commonly occurring. Still today there is a higher burden of these conditions, but also of depression and anxiety, in this group of people. Fu

In studies surrounding the EU, assessments usually focus on the decision-making in the first tier-rule making system between the Commission, Parliament and the Council. What this study has analyzed is the second-tier rule making system, The Comitology. This institution is built up by hundreds of different committees tackling different subjects. Each committee is represented by one representative f

As migrations from within and outside of Europe continue to increase steadily, particularly in the Mediterranean region, the integration of immigrant populations is one of the most pressing issues faced by many European countries. Although there is significant research on immigrant integration in urban areas, the settlement and integration of immigrants in rural areas is largely understudied, even

One of the issues of modern cities is their urban design which is not structured to allow human interaction and promote a feeling of community within their inhabitants. The constant growth and shortages of land are cause to the global housing crisis which requires densification. In the current capitalistic context, urban design becomes just another pawn of this profit making machine, causing gentr

This thesis aims to evaluate the extent to which income from embedded royalties in mixed contracts generated by a subsidiary falling under the ATAD’s CFC rules can be attributed to the tax base of the parent company as “any other income generated from intellectual property” as established by Article 7(2)(a)(ii) ATAD in light of the freedom of establishment under Article 49 TFEU. First, it explains

Abstract in Undetermined This work tackles the problem of interferometric phase estimation in the presence of layover by using nonuniform multibaseline interferometric synthetic aperture radar systems. The effects of nonuniform sampling on Fourier-based and superresolution spectral estimation methods are investigated. The impact on both the spectral properties and on the interferometric phase esti

Occlusion is the most common reason for lowered recognition yield in free-flow license-plate reading systems. (Non-)occluded characters can readily be learned in separate neural networks but not together. Even a small proportion of occluded characters in the training set will already significantly reduce the overall recognition yield. This paper shows that a modular network can handle a realistic

Access to clean and affordable energy is one of the cornerstones of the world’s society. Sincethe introduction of the internal combustion engine, diesel engines have become widely usedfor transportation in the commercial sector. These engines are attractive as they have lowfuel consumption, but are also associated with high emissions of air pollutants, such asNOX and soot. These emissions are direAccess to clean and affordable energy is one of the cornerstones of the world's society. Since the introduction of the internal combustion engine, diesel engines have become widely used for transportation in the commercial sector. These engines are attractive as they have low fuel consumption, but are also associated with high emissions of air pollutants, such as NO$_X$ and soot. These emissions a

AIMS: While workplace wellness services are proactively established to improve well-being and reduce sickness absence, knowledge of reasons for using these services remains sparse. This study investigates which factors determine use of an in-house wellness service at a large organization (the Danish Police) with several departments in different geographical locations.METHODS: All potential users o

Excessive bleeding is a serious complication associated with impaired survival after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Different ABO blood groups are associated with variable levels of circulating von Willebrand factor and therefore potentially altered risks of surgical haemorrhage. The current study aimed to assess the impact of blood group on bleeding complications after ATAAD

The common conception of justice as reciprocity seemingly is inapplicable to relations between non-overlapping generations. This is a challenge also to John Rawls’s theory of justice as fairness. This text responds to this by way of reinterpreting and developing Rawls’s theory. First, by examining the original position as a model, some revisions of it are shown to be wanting. Second, by drawing on

Background: Symptoms have been identified as a core outcome domain for atopic eczema (AE) trials. Various instruments exist to measure symptoms in AE, but they vary in quality and there is a lack of standardization between clinical trials. Our objective was to systematically evaluate the quality of the evidence on the measurement properties of AE symptom instruments, thereby informing consensus di

Due to the changing landscapes of higher education, a large body of research has studied how scholars make sense of academic identities and careers. Yet, little is known about how academics actually ‘work’ on their identities to navigate normative demands and complex career structures. This paper explores how scholars negotiate career scripts trough identity work. Drawing upon 35 interviews with e

A study of crack propagation paths in the situation where the crack is suppressed to open during growth due to high compressive forces has been performed. This problem was analyzed theoretically very recently by the authors and is here extended to involve a limited number of illustrative experimental results reported elsewhere in the literature. By analyzing the experimental crack growth patterns,

The carbon sink potential of peatlands depends on the balance of carbon uptake by plants and microbial decomposition. The rates of both these processes will increase with warming but it remains unclear which will dominate the global peatland response. Here we examine the global relationship between peatland carbon accumulation rates during the last millennium and planetary-scale climate space. A p

En el presente trabajo se presenta una investigación sobre las dificultades a las que se enfrentan estudiantes suecos de español como lengua extranjera (desde ahora ELE), a la hora de elegir entre los tiempos del pasado imperfecto e indefinido en relación con verbos de estado y de logro. El propósito de este estudio es describir, de manera general, la producción de errores para visualizar en qué m
