A taxonomy for improving industry-academia communication in IoT vulnerability management

Background: In software engineering, industry-academia is a symbiotic relationship. Researchers need to be aware of the industry to produce relevant research, while practitioners are educated in academia and could take advantage of empirical research. The SERP taxonomy architecture is designed to support communication between practitioners and researchers in software engineering. Objective: The pu

Images of a kinder and gentler war

This paper attempts to move beyond the well-established argument that discourses of gender equality and feminist tropes at times have played a role in justifying, legitimizing and extending military aggression on behalf of the West in the Middle East. Instead, this paper explores the ways in which the US army in concrete terms is redoing masculinity in its presentation of itself as a gentler, kind

Persuasive Design and Targeting of insurgents in International Law

The U.S. counterinsurgency – symbolised by the omnipresent killing eye of drones – as it expands from the battlefield to the monitor, is criticised for inaugurating a geographically unbounded war that subjects the everyday life of a population to wartime targeting calculation. We, however, claim that the significant feature of the so-called new technologies of looking and targeting is in their abi

Opportunities and challenges of using ultrafiltration for the concentration of diluted coating materials

The use of cross-flow ultrafiltration for the recovery of coating material from aqueous streams started about 30 years with electro deposition paint in the automotive industry. This early success can be related to both environmental and economical ad-vantages of using ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration recovers and concentrate electro deposition paint on the retentate side and produces purified wate

Membrane opportunities in lignocellulosic biorefineries

The pulp and paper industry is one of the most important industrial sectors worldwide. The focus of current pulp mills is on the production of cellulose pulp fibres and electricity. By converting traditional pulp mills into lignocellulosic biorefineries they can become a keystone in a future bioeconomy. In order to achieve this, pulp mills have to close their loops and focus on the optimal utilisa

Logistics of participation in backstage practices of international law

Research networks, new lines of inquiries, the language for such inquiries, authorship collectives and more are formed through participation in backstage practices such as conferences, symposiums, workshops etc. If we agree on the constitutive role of such practices in shaping international law (IL) as a field of knowledge and of course making of a career in scholarship then the very material cond

The blue straggler V106 in NGC6791 : A prototype progenitor of old single giants masquerading as young

We determine the properties of the binary star V106 in the old open cluster NGC6791. We identify the system to be a blue straggler cluster member by using a combination of groundbased and Kepler photometry and multi-epoch spectroscopy. The properties of the primary component are found to be Mp ~ 1.67M⊙, more massive than the cluster turn-off, with Rp ~ 1.91R⊙ and Teff = 7110 ± 100 K. The secondary

Naturalization in a context of free mobility: Evidence from cross-national data on Finnish immigrants in Sweden

Using unique longitudinal microdata linking administrative records from Sweden and Finland, we study how immigrant naturalization relates to cultural proximity. We analyze how Swedish citizenship acquisition depends on mother tongue by comparing Swedish-speaking and Finnish-speaking immigrants from Finland, who arrived in Sweden in 1988–2004, and contrast with other Nordic-born immigrants. We trea

Recombinant factor VIII products and inhibitor development in previously untreated patients with severe haemophilia A : Combined analysis of three studies

INTRODUCTION: Standard treatment of congenital haemophilia A is based on replacement therapy with coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) products. A major complication of FVIII therapy is the occurrence of IgG alloantibodies (inhibitors) that neutralize FVIII activity.AIM: The aim of the analysis was estimating the risk of high-titre inhibitor associated with the second-generation full-length product com

Pneumectomy for pulmonary mucormycosis in a patient with acute myeloblastic leukaemia and diabetes mellitus

We present a case of a patient in a severe pulmonary mucormycosis during the neutropenic phase of treatment for acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML), type M2. He had two major risk factors for setting infection; leukaemia and diabetes mellitus. Although he received antimicrobial and antifungal therapy with Amphotericin B in time, it was unable to eradicate infection. We performed a pneumectomy, whic
