We consider global geometric properties of a codimension one manifold embedded in Euclideanspace, as it evolves under an isotropic and volume preserving Brownian flow of diffeomorphisms.In particular, we obtain expressions describing the expected rate of growth of the Lipschitz-Killing curvatures, or intrinsic volumes, of the manifold under the flow.These results shed new light on some of the intr

The article provides empirical evidence on the use of two types of security in medieval finance: conditional hostageship and the community responsibility system. Both exposed guarantors to imprisonment or confiscation. Evidence from Dordrecht shows the former was frequently applied but was not very disruptive. However, the latter community responsibility system did lead to reprisals against mercha

Genom några exempel påvisar artikeln förekomsten av republikanska och revolutionära tankegångar i den radikala tidningen Fäderneslandet på 1850- och 1860-talen.

Early detection of patients at risk seems to be effective for reducing the prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic diseases. We aim to test the feasibility of a novel intervention for early detection of lifestyle-related chronic diseases based on a population-based stratification using a combination of questionnaire and electronic patient record data. The intervention comprises four elements: (1)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Danish general practitioners (GPs) follow a voluntary continuous professional development (CPD) programme based on accredited activities. Inspired by a current interest in CPD, this study investigates GPs' preferences for future CPD programmes.METHODS: The preferences were tested in a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) sent to 1079 randomly chosen GPs. The GPs were asked t

Time-of-flight mass spectrometry is used to study the interaction of free C60 molecules with ultrashort high power Ti:sapphire laser pulses. Ionization and fragmentation of C60 by ultrashort high-intensity laser pulses occur predominantly via plasmon excitation. Single and double excitation of collective charge oscillation is observed by remarkably large number of photons. The difference between a

Context. Although more than 2000 brown dwarfs have been detected to date, mainly from direct imaging, their characterisation is difficult due to their faintness and model-dependent results. In the case of transiting brown dwarfs, however, it is possible to make direct high-precision observations.Aims: Our aim is to investigate the nature and formation of brown dwarfs by adding a new well-character

This paper discusses modern organizational meetings in the public sector, with a focus on time, specifically the planning and scheduling of time among managers. In this qualitative analysis, data were gathered through an ethnographic study of managers in several public organizations, all in Sweden. During interviews and field observations, managers told about their time work involving strategies f

Developing expertise to support local coastal community-based fisheries in SwedenFisheries management lays bare many of the tensions and contradictions between community wellbeing and livelihoods on one hand and impositions of neoliberal market approaches to sustainability on the other.

Digitalization has been incorporated into nearly all levels of life in Sweden, including the provision of healthcare service. Accompanied by political strategies that incorporate liberal market logic into public sectors, medicines are made accessible through multiple purchasing channels, especially on the Internet. In this presentation, Rui Liu gives an account of the emergence of a grey health ma

The application of one-dimensional nanofibers in the fabrication of an electrode greatly improves the performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) due to its advantages on electron transfer and mass transport. Various mixed ionic-electronic conducting materials with perovskites and Ruddlesden-Popper-type metal oxide structures are successfully electrospun into nanofibers in recent years mostly in

Kapitlet fokuserar på den potentiella motsättningen mellan minoriteters rättigheter och universella mänskliga rättigheter. Exemplet är det svenskspråkiga Åland, som idag har ett av världens mest omfattande nationalitetsskydd med snart hundra år på nacken – men det är ett skydd som inte alltid går ihop med nyare konventioner om mänskliga rättigheter. Kapitlet undersöker kritiken från Europarådets r

This article offers an analysis of Sophie de Grouchy’s Letters on Sympathy [1798]. The focus is on republican implications of her views on sympathy, with comparisons to Adam Smith and Mary Wollstonecraft. Critical attention is paid to claims made on de Grouchy’s behalf that her philosophy is republican and that she offers republican arguments for gender and class equality. These claims are made by
