At its origins, traceable back to about 50 years ago, the German “Energiewende” began as a fight against both nuclear energy, politicians pursuing nuclear-based energy strategies and also implementing them forcefully, as well as omnipotent enterprises.(1) After the Fukoshima tragedy in 2011, and the subsequent plans of Germany to abandon nuclear energy within its own borders, the term “Energiewend
This thesis explores the potential of vernacular architecture in contemporary design through the proposal of a community centre for Kitini Secondary School in Godawari, Nepal. The project is grounded in a site-specific, research-led design methodology, informed by fieldwork, material studies, and community engagement. It explores how traditional Nepali building practices, particularly the use of l
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between R&D intensity and profitability among pharmaceutical firms, especially how the economic development level moderates this relationship over time. The sample consisted of 255 firms, with panel data covering the period from 2015 to 2025. A firm fixed-effects regression analysis was conducted using ROA as the dependent variable, R&D int
This thesis investigates how the right-wing populist German Party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) presented and framed German development cooperation on the social media platform Facebook during the 20th legislative period (2021-2025). Over the last decades, social media has become an increasingly important tool of political communication and information source for the public. Thus, this study a
OBJECTIVES: To develop a group-based COMbined Fatigue Intervention (COMFI) that integrates a cognitive behavioural approach with physical activity to enhance self-management of fatigue and reduce fatigue severity and impact in people with inflammatory arthritis (IA).METHODS: The development was guided by the British Medical Research Council's framework for complex interventions and was based on: (
An 11-year-old boy with mental retardation, malformations, and the mosaic karyotype 47,XY,+i(8p)/46,XY presented with fever, headache and petechiae. Peripheral blood WBC was 190 x 10(9)/l; and contained > 90% mature eosinophils. Cytogenetic analysis of the eosinophils revealed no aberrations except the constitutional karyotype. The patient was diagnosed as having a hypereosinophilic syndrome. Shor
On the standard view, an agnostic might commit non-doxastically to religion because she wants to receive some goods, which might be either natural or supernatural in kind. I broaden the picture by showing how the agnostic must also take negative factors into account. Negative mundane factors should be avoided as far as possible by the agnostic, and in extreme cases, even at the price of giving up
The activity-size distribution of radiocolloids has been studied using gel-chromatography scanning (GCS) of columns filled with Sepharose 4B gel. Rabbits were injected subcutaneously with the colloid of interest, laid supine beneath a gamma camera, and imaged every 15 sec for 2 to 4 hr. From the stored data, the uptakes in the parasternal lymph nodes were analyzed in terms of a two-compartment mod
During the eighteenth century, several Swedish historians practiced a reasonbased form of criticism, above all when analysing the medieval period. This critical method entailed that events that seemed not to stand the test of reason, such as miracle stories, were not only seen as purely fictional but were also severely criticized as a symptom of the poor intellectual standards of the era. Previous
The higher vibrational levels of the C 1s→π* excitation in carbon monooxide (CO) were investigated by using resonant Auger electron spectroscopy. The absorption profile of the CO was recorded in the partial electron yield mode. The results showed that the vibrational states were not seen in a total yield absorption spectrum whereas they were shown to be discernable in a partial electron yield spec
Background: More remains to be understood about attitudes towards treatment for gambling disorder and where to seek treatment. Given the low degree of treatment seeking behaviour in this condition, it may be of interest to study people’s perception about where to seek help in case of problem gambling. From a study originally aiming to address health correlates of problem gambling, the present sub-
The fashion industry has a considerable environmental impact, especially due to the increased generation of waste textiles as a result of fast fashion business models. Although fiber-to-fiber recycling processes are being developed, such a process is in reality a downcycling process, in which the mechanical properties of the textile fibers are impoverished with each cycle. Thus, new alternatives a
Background: Management of traumatic spinal cord injury is complex and depends on a multidisciplinary approach involving pre-hospital services, spinal surgery, intensive care unit treatment and specialized rehabilitation. International clinical practice guidelines for the handling of these patients offer specific recommendations regarding transportation, radiological investigations, timing of surge
