This essay aims to analyze the depiction of an ideal soldier in order to research whether these depictions perpetuate values and ideals found in the theoretical framework of militarized masculinity and the logic of masculinist protection. The selected material consists of official documents from both the Swedish Armed Forces as well as the United States Armed Forces, which will be analyzed through

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibilities of optimizing the production of paper pulp in a Conical Disc (CD) refiner for different production rates, taking into account the variables that are thought to be the most important for the production. These include three separate dilution waters, conical disc gap and flat gap. Another task is to compare the values of these variables af

Abstract To develop a genetic system for the extreme thermophile Caldicellulosirruptor saccharolyticus is the next step in improving hydrogen productivities. Genetic systems are powerful tools to understand the metabolic network of the microorganism and to obtain high hydrogen productivities and yields. The primary aim of this project is to develop an expression vector for C. saccharolyticus. Pre

Emerging knowledge of cartilage metabolism and structure has stimulated efforts to develop new cartilage-monitoring techniques in health and disease. This article gives an overview of cartilage matrix structure, cartilage metabolism, and significant exogenous factors to show how such knowledge can guide the development of new means to monitor cartilage. Delayed contrast enhanced MRI of cartilage

We discuss and compare four fixed parameter algorithms for finding the minimum weight triangulation of a simple polygon with (n - k) vertices on the perimeter and k vertices in the interior (hole vertices), that is, for a total of n vertices. All four algorithms rely on the same abstract divide-and-conquer scheme, which is made efficient by a variant of dynamic programming. They are essentially ba

In order to create non-commercial places in the central city of Gothenburg, locating municipal services on ground floor level has been introduced as a part of the social sustainability dimension. The purpose is to create a vivid community and an including society within the urban development project Masthuggskajen. There is however a limited number of previous research conducted on how proceed wit

Interoperability is a sought after quality in most software. One way to increase interoperability is to make transformation of data between formats easier. Several transformation tools exists and many utilizes the Extract, Transform, Load-process to perform the transformations. The transformation part of the process can be done in several different ways. Using a lookup table to arrange the underly

Journalistic live blogging entails the conundrum of capturing emotions in a context where they should be absent in order to snap up the sensational in the subtle drama of the courtroom and present it in a way that attracts readers, thus making it clickable.Applying an inductive frame analysis of live blogs and drawing on criteria of newsworthiness and an emotion sociological framework, this articl

Introduction: While it is recognized that there are costs associated with postoperative patient follow-up, risk assessments of catastrophic health expenditures (CHEs) due to surgery in sub-Saharan Africa rarely include expenses after discharge. We describe patient-level costs for cesarean section (c-section) and follow-up care up to postoperative day (POD) 30 and evaluate the contribution of follo

The purpose of this thesis was to implement an alternative method to calculate the overlap function, which describe to what extent two protons overlap with each other spatially, into PYTHIA8 in order to determine how it affected the average number of multiparton interactions. The new overlap function is based on an explicit impact parameter picture, whereas PYTHIA8s overlap function uses an implic

För att undvika att brottsutredningar äventyras, säkerställa att gärningsmannen lagförs och undvika fortsatt brottslighet kan krävas att den som misstänks för brott frihetsberövas. Om den misstänkte har möjlighet att kommunicera med eventuella medbrottslingar eller får möjlighet att hota vittnen kan vad som skulle blivit en fällande dom istället innebära att brottsling går fri. Å andra sidan innIn order to avoid jeopardizing criminal investigations, ensure that the perpetrator is prosecuted and avoiding further crime being committed it may be necessary to deprive a suspect of their liberty. If, given the opportunity, the suspect communicates with accomplices or intimidates witnesses what might have been a conviction could instead result in a criminal walking free. On the other hand, de

Aedes aegypti is the well-spread main vector of dengue and other viral diseases and in means of mosquito control, it is important to understand adaptation and variability within the species. This study has considered eggs of Ae. aegypti from two close regions in the area of Buenos Aires. The aim was to increase understanding in environmental and genetic characteristics in food intake. From a long-

This study aimed to examine and analyze how social workers perceive the new Social Service Act and its ambition to reduce individual needs evaluations. The new Social Service Act also includes increased access to receive social support without social workers’ decision-making. The study aims to generate an understanding of social workers' experiences regarding their professional practice relate

Sweden and its Nordic neighbours have for a long time been understood as norm entrepreneurs on the international stage. This role appears to be challenged by events, changes and legitimacy crises in the international order. With a theoretical underpinning in role theory this essay aims to explore whether and how Sweden can be understood as a norm entrepreneur by constituting an ideal type over a n
