Abstract This essay examines the idea of unity in the early church, based on Psalm 133:1. My interest in this was awakened during a seminar with the scholar Sr. Dr. Michaela Puzicha OSB, who proposed that St. Benedict of Nursia in his Rule, RB 42, alludes to Ps. 133:1 and does this because he wants to stress how much he values the unity of the community. The main question of my essay is whether i
De provokativa åtgärderna är en polisiär arbets- och utredningsmetod, vilken traditionellt beskrivs som att polisen i sitt brottsbekämpande arbete lockar fram beteenden från en enskild brottsmisstänkt, i form av yttranden eller handlingar, som kan vara ofördelaktiga för vederbörande. De provokativa åtgärderna har använts inom den polisiära verksamheten en längre tid, trots avsaknad av lagregleringProvocative measures can be described as a an investigation method, whereas the police entices to behaviour through expressions or actions, which in some aspect are unfavourable or disadvantegous for the provoced person. Provocative measures have been used as an investigation method by the Swedish police for a longer time, even though no legislation legitimizes or regulates its usage. The uncertai
Problem/bakgrund: Censur av media är ett karakteristiskt drag för Kinas stat och ett verktyg för att bevara politisk styrning. Samtidigt är media betydelsefullt för att främja ekonomisk och social utveckling. Det är en delikat uppgift för statliga kinesiska censurorgan att finna en medelväg som låter media gynna ekonomisk utveckling utan att riskera omstörtning av den politiska makten. Media är enMedia censorship is a characteristic feature for China’s government in order to retain political legitimacy. Concurrently, media are crucial for a flourishing economic and social development. It’s a delicate task for Chinese governmental censorship departments to find a middle way that promotes economic development without any risk for subversion of power. Hence, media is an arena for struggle bet
Den här uppsatsens syfte är att kritiskt analysera Lag (1970:943) om arbetstid m.m. för husligt anställda – även kallad hushållslagen - ur två perspektiv; dels ett rättshistorisk, dels ett genusrättsligt. Den senaste legostadgan från 1833 var snarare en befolkningspolitisk lagstiftning än en arbetsrättslig sådan. För att undvika belastning på samhället föreskrev den tjänstetvång för alla myndigaThe purpose of this essay is to analyse the Swedish Domestic Work Act (1970:943) from two perspectives; one legal historical and one gender perspective. The latest so-called legostadga from 1833 worked more as legislation for population policy than for labour regulations. In order to avoid putting pressure on society, it forced all citizens who were of age and unable to support themselves to work
When the international monetary system was on the gold standard, China was the only country adhered to the silver standard. Silver functioned as currency in China but acted as commodity in international markets. Its price experienced downturn trend from 57 cents per ounce in January 1929 to 23.38 ounces per ounce in January 1933. Then it increased to 75 cents per ounce in May 1935. Dramatic fluctu
As more functionality and complex systems are combined in limited settings the need for resource management is becoming increasingly important. Resources such as computing capacity, battery power and communication channels need to be divided between different applications and hardware to achieve the highest global performance. Traditionally the computing capacity has been handled by the system sch
The origin of many environmental and health hazardous emissions from diesel engines are the crankcase gases. Since no regulations of the emission levels from the crankcase have existed in the past, no attention has been paid to cleaning crankcase gases. New regulations are coming up and they will all demand lower emissions from the engine. This has lead to the introduction of the Alfdex separator.
Individer som avslöjar misstankar om eller föreliggande brott, risker eller missförhållanden inom arbetsplatser kallas för whistleblowers. Företeelsen begränsas inte till en viss utövarkrets utan kan utövas av envar. Whistleblowing är värdefullt för svensk företagsamhet samt samhället i stort eftersom allvarliga brott, risker och andra olägenheter upptäcks och kan avhjälpas. Men whistleblowers uppIn this thesis the current Swedish legislation concerning whistle-blowers is examined. The thesis has two main purposes: to clarify under which circumstances a whistle-blower can make a disclosure about wrongdoings and to examine and analyse the protection of whistle-blowers in the Swedish law. Whistleblowing refers to the action of individuals who make a public disclosure about illegal, immoral o
Parterna till en företagskoncentration måste ofta ändra den planerade transaktionen för att kommissionen anser att den påtagligt skulle hämma den effektiva konkurrensen inom gemenskapen. Kommissionen ser helst att de berörda företagen erbjuder sig att avyttra en verksamhet för att på så vis på ett permanent sätt upprätthålla eller återställa konkurrensen på marknaden. Denna typ av strukturellt korParties to a merger often need to change their original transaction plan because the commission’s investigation shows that the merger would lead to significant impediments of the effective competition on the common market. The Commission prefers the undertakings to divest such businesses or assets necessary to permanently maintain or restore an effective competition on the common market. However,

In this paper we report that single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can protect surface adsorbed Rhodamine B (RhB) molecules from permanent photo-oxidation via a reversible reaction. Upon strong light irradiation at 514 nm, the SWNT-adsorbed RhB molecules were switched to a non-fluorescent form, which looked like ordinary bleaching behavior. However, after staying without light for several hours t
This paper presents a VLIW co-processor template for smart imaging. The template is highly scalable and can easily be instantiated for a specific data level parallelism. The co-processor is built to operate on frame segments instead of full frames only. As a result, eight different instances of the co-processor have been generated, each with different amount of parallelism exploited. Each instance
Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) is a generic term that refers to the transferrin glycoforms whose concentration in blood is temporarily increased by sustained alcohol consumption. Due to high clinical specificity, CDT was proposed as a biomarker of heavy alcohol use and has been available for about 20 years. A number of methods have been developed for CDT measurement based on different an
The hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of the membrane material have an important influence on the membrane flux reduction when treating solutions containing hydrophobic solutes. Different methods of measuring the hydrophobic properties of membranes have been evaluated; measurement of the contact angle being the most commonly used method. In this investigation the flux reduction of eight membranes
In concrete most cracks start from an uncracked surface and grow through a large portion of the depth of the specimen. Both formation and growth are influenced by stresses from imposed deformations, shrinkage, temperature etc. Thus fracture mechanics, when applied to concrete, should be able to analyse the following: 1. The formation of a crack in a specimen which is not notched or precracked. 2.
In this article we present a spatio-temporal dynamic model that can be realized using image warping. Image warping is a non-linear deformation which maps every point in one image plane to a point in another image plane. Using thin-plate splines, these deformations are defined by how a small set of points is mapped, making the method computationally tractable. In our case the dynamics of the proces
The PID relay auto-tuner of Astrom–Hagglund is one of the simplest and most robust auto-tuning techniques for process controllers and has been successfully applied to industry for more than 15 years. This tuner is based on an approximate estimation of the critical point on the process frequency response from relay oscillations. Many developments have recently been reported to extend its applicatio
Dumping is generally considered an unfair practice and through the Antidumping Agreement of the GATT many governments offer protection to domestic producers against dumped goods. In 1992 and 1998 large amounts of steel entered the U.S. at low prices, and large amounts of antidumping investigations were initiated in order to curb the surge of imports flooding the country. The increase in steel imp
