Destination net-zero : what does the international energy agency roadmap mean for tourism?

The tourism sector has recommitted itself to be ‘climate neutral’ by 2050 through its 2021 Glasgow Declaration: A Commitment to a Decade of Tourism Climate Action. The declared ambition is consistent with the Paris Climate Agreement and net-zero emission targets; however, lacks specific actions by which such a transition might be achieved. The highly influential International Energy Agency (IEA) h

Time-Resolved Photoemission Electron Microscopy: Development and Applications

Time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy (TR-PEEM) belongs to a class of experimental techniquescombining the spatial resolution of electron-based microscopy with the time resolution of ultrafast opticalspectroscopy. This combination provides insight into fundamental processes on the nanometer spatial andfemto/picosecond time scale, such as charge carrier transport in semiconductors or coll

Chaotic behavior of quantum cascade lasers at ignition

The ignition of Quantum Cascade Lasers can occur from a state of oscillating field domains. Here, the interplay between lasing and the kinetics of traveling domain boundaries provides complex oscillation scenarios. We analyze our numerical findings in detail for a device operating at terahertz frequencies and manifest chaotic evolution by positive Lyapunov exponents. This shows that these importan

Establishment and Initial Experience of Clinical FLASH Radiotherapy in Canine Cancer Patients

FLASH radiotherapy has emerged as a treatment technique with great potential to increase the differential effect between normal tissue toxicity and tumor response compared to conventional radiotherapy. To evaluate the feasibility of FLASH radiotherapy in a relevant clinical setting, we have commenced a feasibility and safety study of FLASH radiotherapy in canine cancer patients with spontaneous su

A New Analysis for Machine Translation of Auxiliaries and Main verb Complexes

The analysis of the verb phrase poses interesting problems. This paper suggests a binary solution where the auxiliary is treated as one constituent and the main verb complex as another. Auxiliaries are thus not treated as main verbs as was suggested by Ross 1967 (and followed in the first version of Referent Grammar, Sigurd 1987). The auxiliary may be lacking (latent, empty), in which case the mai

Video feedback combined with coordination meetings in school to reduce early disruptive behaviour problems (DBP)—A 1-year follow-up randomised controlled trial

Aim: To compare long-term effects of a systemic school-based intervention, Marte Meo and Coordination Meetings (MAC), targeting 3- to 12-year-old children display- ing disruptive behaviour problems (DBP) in preschool or school, and service as usual (SAU). In addition, to examine whether social status (SS) affected the outcomes. Methods: In a randomised controlled design, teachers' and parents' ratAim: To compare long-term effects of a systemic school-based intervention, Marte Meo and Coordination Meetings (MAC), targeting 3- to 12-year-old children display- ing disruptive behaviour problems (DBP) in preschool or school, and service as usual (SAU).

Cultural and socio-political development in south Etruria. : The Biedano region in the 5th to 1st centuries BC

The town of Blera is situated in the southern parts of Etruria and has a history spanning more than 2,500 years. Its location between the two important Etruscan cities of Tarquinii and Caere has meant that Blera, for the entire Etruscan period (c. 750–50 BC), alternatively has found itself in either city’s sphere of interest. When Rome begins her expansion into Etruria, following the fall of the sThe town of Blera is situated in the southern parts of Etruria and has a history spanning more than 2,500 years.

Predictors of drug survival : A cohort study comparing anti-tumour necrosis factor agents using the Swedish inflammatory bowel disease quality register

Background: Whether long-term effectiveness differs between anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents is unknown. Aims: To examine drug survival of first-line anti-TNF agents and identify predictors of discontinuation. To reduce channelling bias, we also compared drug survival of the second anti-TNF. Methods: Biologic-naïve patients (N = 955) recorded in the Swedish IBD Quality Register (SWIBR

Cost-effectiveness of adding a non-invasive acoustic rule-out test in the evaluation of patients with symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease : Rationale and design of the prospective, randomised, controlled, parallel-group multicenter FILTER-SCAD trial

Most patients with symptoms suggestive of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) have no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and better selection of patients to be referred for diagnostic tests is needed. The CAD-score is a non-invasive acoustic measure that, when added to pretest probability of CAD, has shown good rule-out capabilities. We aimed to test whether implementation of CAD-score in clini

Ambient particle radioactivity and gestational diabetes: A cohort study of more than 1 million pregnant women in Massachusetts, USA

BACKGROUND: Exposure to ionizing radiation increases the risk of chronic metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Internal ionizing radiation from inhaled radioactive aerosol may contribute to the associations between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).METHODS: We used the Massachusetts Registry of Vital Records to study 1,061,937 pre

Capital expenditure deviations in a fragmented municipal context – the case of the Swedish municipal water and sewerage sector

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore whether and how external, political, financial and governance factors influence capital expenditure deviations in the Swedish municipal water and sewerage sector and to capture the consequences of municipal organisational fragmentation. Design/methodology/approach: Panel data analysis of 238 municipalities and 1,190 observations of capital expenditure d
