Is anticorruption neoliberal plot? Assessming the anticorruption project in Southeast Europe

The consolidation of a global anticorruption regime can be seen has a combination of international policy instruments, ideologies about good and bad governance, and a whole set of promises, programmes and practices all intended to reduce corruption. After nearly two decades, we can give this assemblage a name: Anticorruptionism. This paper reviews the history of anticorruptionism and the current s

Some Notes on Code-Based Cryptography

This thesis presents new cryptanalytic results in several areas of coding-based cryptography. In addition, we also investigate the possibility of using convolutional codes in code-based public-key cryptography. The first algorithm that we present is an information-set decoding algorithm, aiming towards the problem of decoding random linear codes. We apply the generalized birthday technique to inf

Still Angry After All These Years: Feminist Activist Performance in Sweden

In the 2000s, Sweden experienced a veritable explosion of feminist performance. Although feminist actions, theatre, shows and performance existed previously, feminist events with a distinct performance approach have emerged strongly in the current decade. Feminist culture festivals are held in rapid succession, and feminist performance, dance and theatre occasionally attract broader audiences. Thi

On a computational orientation-distribution-function-based remodelling framework

In this contribution, we apply the framework of orientation distribution functions (odf) to the modelling of adapting anisotropic biological tissues. Remodelling phenomena are thereby incorporated by means of an evolution equation for a generalised structural tensor so that the underlying odf evolves according to the local loading conditions.

A New Method for Analysis of Atrial Activation during Chronic Atrial Fibrillation in Man

To further clarify the mechanisms maintaining chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF), a method identifying preferable activation patterns of the atria during fibrillation, by time averaging of multiple discrete excitation vectors, was developed. Repeated recordings, each of 56 atrial bipolar electrograms simultaneously acquired during 8 s, were made at multiple sites in the right atrial free wall and t

Synthesis of hemes found in heme-copper oxidases of Bacillus subtilis

The last step of aerobic respiration, the reduction of dioxygen to water, is catalysed by terminal oxidases. These oxidases can be divided into two unrelated families, the heme-copper oxidases and the cytochrome bd-type oxidases. These enzymes contain two or more heme molecules as prosthetic groups. Heme is an iron-containing ring-closed tetrapyrrole. All eukaryotic and most bacterial oxidases bel
