The sorites paradox is central to theories on vagueness, which aim to explain apparent contradictions. Some theories, however, imply sharp cut-offs where we would, intuitively, not expect them. This paper invokes the notion of normative resilience to address this issue. We argue that sharp cut-offs may result from a gradual decline in resilience, making the existence of precise boundaries less une

About the book:Fourteen scholars who work on campus or in the theater address this issue of what it means to play offstage. With their individual definition of what “offstage” could mean, the results were, predictably, varied. They employed a variety of critical approaches to the question of what happens when the play moves into the audience or beyond the physical playhouse itself? What are the so

A search for the resonant production of a heavy scalar X decaying into a Higgs boson and a new lighter scalar S, through the process X → S(→bb¯)H(→γγ), where the two photons are consistent with the Higgs boson decay, is performed. The search is conducted using an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector

Background: There is limited data on the organisation of paediatric echocardiography laboratories in Europe. Methods: A structured and approved questionnaire was circulated across all 95 Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology affiliated centres. The aims were to evaluate: (1) facilities in paediatric echocardiography laboratories across Europe, (2) accredited laboratories, (

The rapidly urbanizing world reflects the dynamism of urban agglomeration and city-centered growth. World cities have been traditionally recognized with the dominant economic models and have traversed from being industrial to Fordist to post-Fordist to the technological to logistical cities of today. These cities are now categorized and conceptualized as ‘intelligent city’, ‘information city’, ‘wi

Doktorsavhandling i Gamla testamentets exegetik. I avhandlingen kartläggs vilka tolkningsstrategier som är tongivande i modern kommentarlitteratur av Psaltarens s.k. 'förbannelsepsalmer,' dvs. bibeltexter som vanligen utelämnas i modernt gudstjänstliv av innehållsliga skäl då de uttrycker den bedjandes önskan om hämnd och/eller våld gentemot fiender. En översikt av den exegetiska diskursen, så somDue to their calls for vengeance and violence the so called imprecatory psalms are generally considered ethically difficult and subsequently omitted from liturgy. This becomes particularly evident in breviaries, such as the Roman Catholic Church’s Liturgy of the Hours, where both entire psalms and individual verses have been omitted. The widespread omission of lament psalms (including imprecatory

BACKGROUND: Only around one-quarter of patients with cancer of the oesophagus and the gastro-oesophageal junction (GOJ) undergo surgical resection. This population-based study investigated the rates of treatment with curative intent and resection, and their association with survival.METHODS: Patients diagnosed with oesophageal and GOJ cancer between 2006 and 2015 in Sweden were identified from the

Early reports raised concern that use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may increase risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19). Users of the COVID Symptom Study smartphone application reported use of aspirin and other NSAIDs between March 24 and May 8, 2020. Users were queried daily about symptoms, COVID-19 testing, and healthcare seeki

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1:5000–1:10 000 individuals. It is a pleiotropic disease characterized by specific ocular, cardiovascular, and skeletal features. The most common cardiovascular complication is aortic root dilatation which untreated can lead to life-threatening aortic root dissection, mainly occurring in adult patients

Genom att använda den rättsdogmatiska metoden klargör denna uppsats i vilken utsträckning svensk rätt möjliggör somatisk vård mot beslutsoförmögna patienters vilja och hur denna reglering förhåller sig till Europakonventionens grundläggande fri- och rättigheter. Vård mot beslutsoförmögna patienters vilja ger upphov till svåra rättsliga och etiska dilemman i förhållande till grundläggande rättighetBy applying the legal dogmatic method this thesis clarifies the extent to which Swedish Law permits somatic care against the will of patients lacking decision-making capacity and how such regulations relate to the rights and freedoms protected under the European Convention on Human rights. This thesis starts by examining the implications of chapter 2 section 6 of the Swedish Instrument of Governme

Hexagonal ferrites doped with metal oxides have long been used in a variety of fields such as in sensors, actuators and other hardware. They are inherently stable and exhibit different properties, such as the magnetoelectric effect, which can be tuned through choice of structure and dopants. The production of magnetoelectric hexaferrites can be costly and complicated. In this thesis a method base

With the tremendous increases in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the last four decades arose the problem of a possible relationship between FDI and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Scholars have hypothesized that international companies invest in countries with lax environmental regulations to escape high production cost, we call this the pollution haven hypothesis. The ASEAN-5, i.e. Indonesia,

This thesis analyzes a case of transnational environmental justice between Chile and Sweden following toxic waste exports in the 1980’s. Thematic analysis is applied to explore concepts of time and space presented amongst the different actors. Drawing from decolonial environmental justice theory, the thesis compares the use of linear Western time and the indigenous concept of Pachamama. The second

One of the most difficult problems that an engineer who works with modeling deals with, is the question about how to translate a physical phenomenon into a set of equations. It is usually difficult to capture all dynamics and phenomena, so one usually strives for a set of equations that describes the physical system approximately and adequately with the accuracy for the purpose. In our case, we mo

Problem description Multiple cases show that companies can improve performance after implementing an AutoStore system. However, research on optimizing the design and how to successfully control the AutoStore system is limited. Furthermore, studies focusing on optimizing operations around Robot-based Compact Storage and Retrieval Systems (RCSRS) in general, are important for the development of ope

Background: Gaming disorder (GD) is a new official diagnosis in the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision, and with its recognition, the need to offer treatment for the condition has become apparent. More knowledge is needed about the type of treatment needed for this group of patients. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of a novel module-b
