The development of agrarian capitalism revisited: Measuring the role of tenant labour on settler farms in Southern Rhodesia, 1900-1960

In this paper we have used primary and secondary sources to make, to our knowledge, the first attempt ever to quantify the role non-wage labour on settler farms in colonial Africa. We have used Southern Rhodesia as a case in point and focused primarily on the role of tenant labour. Our findings show that the rise of wage labour did not mark the end of the latter. On the contrary, the two forms of

Long term recurrence and survival following robotic radical hysterectomy for early stage cervical cancer.

Objective: To evaluate long-term oncological outcome and surgical quality of robotic radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Methods: Consecutive women with stage IA2 to IIA operated between March 2006 and May 2012 with a robotic radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were prospectively followed up until five years after surgery or until death. Details regarding clinical results, recurr

Electromagnetic scattering by layered cylinders --- low frequency reduction of RCS

In this paper we present two different ways of reducing the radar cross section (RCS) of thin metallic wires at low frequencies. This reduction is achieved by adding a dielectric coating on the wire. The entire cylindrical structure is finally protected by a thin exterior non-magnetic dielectric layer (eagle skin). The contribution to the RCS has either an electric or an magnetic origin. To reduce

Experimental Validation of the Brush Tire Model

The paper presents an experimental validation of the physically based brush-tire model towards the tire behavior in a number of different realistic conditions. Results are presented of measurements performed with summer, winter and studded tires on different road foundations such as wet and dry asphalt, basalt, snow and ice. The purpose behind the validation is to study the possibilities to use th

Metabolic impact of certain dietary proteins and/or amino acids - Glycaemic and hormonal responses to carbohydrate meals in healthy subject

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förekomst av fetma och typ 2 diabetes ökar i Sverige, liksom globalt. Över 360 miljoner människor har diabetes och prognosen för år 2030 är drygt 550 miljoner (IDF 2011). Att arbeta med förebyggande åtgärder för att minska denna utveckling är därför nödvändigt. Något som har stor betydelse för hälsan är vilken typ av mat vi väljer att äta och dess näringsmässiga kvaliteRe-occurring hyperglycaemic episodes promote subclinical low-grade inflammation and CVD in type 2 diabetes, emphasising the therapeutic role of tight blood glucose regulation. A tight blood glucose regulation is probably beneficial also in healthy subjects and mild elevations in postprandial glycaemia and triglycerides are associated with impaired flow-mediated dilation and increased markers of ox

Analytical Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Lipid Containing Samples

Traditionally, sample work-up has been associated with different kinds of liquid extraction techniques involving a large consumption of hazardous solvents. There are today regulations that aims at replacement of dangerous chemicals which has created a need for new extraction techniques. During the last decade supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has become a good alternative for sample pretreatme
