Who Are the People? : Towards a Theological Ethics of Citizenship and Community

In the context of the current refugee crisis, there has been a revival of concern with territoriality, nationality, and identity throughout Europe. In response to this revival, Reiner Anselm develops a theological ethics of community and citizenship from a Protestant perspective. Concentrating on the controversies which have characterized German Protestantism, he analyzes how theologians have aime

Characterization of surface structure and oxidation/reduction behavior of Pd-Pt/Al2O3 model catalysts

Structural and morphological characterizations of bimetallic Pd-Pt/Al2O3 model catalysts are performed using X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and CO chemisorption. Further, the catalysts were studied under oxidizing and reducing conditions using both X-ray absorption spectroscopy and low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy. For the as-prepared cata

Socioeconomic differences in digital inequality among Chinese older adults : Results from a nationally representative sample

The current study seeks to investigate digital inequality among older adults in China, specifically examining two socially defined age groups: young-old adults (aged 60–74) and old-old adults (aged 75+). Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were used to examine the prevalence of and identify the factors associated with Internet access, usage (frequency and breadth containing 11 activitie

Nutrient policies and the performance of aquaculture in developed countries – a literature review

Eutrophication is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and aquaculture production can contribute to the problem as well as be part of its solution. Nutrient polices in developed countries are often command-and-control policies that may have contributed to the slow growth of the sector. We perform a literature review to investigate how current nutrient polices affect the sector and if econEutrophication is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and aquaculture production can contribute to the problem as well as be part of its solution.

Potential interplay between tumor size and vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms in breast cancer prognosis : a prospective cohort study

Purpose: Vitamin D has some anticancer properties that may decrease breast cancer risk and improve prognosis. The aim was to investigate associations between four previously studied VDR SNPs (Taq1, Tru91, Bsm1, and Fok1) and prognosis in different groups of breast cancer patients. Methods: VDR genotyping of 1,017 breast cancer patients included 2002–2012 in Lund, Sweden, was performed using Oncoar

Allergic contact dermatitis due to 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate in ostomy patients

Background: Many people live with ostomies after life-saving surgery. Ostomy patients often suffer from peristomal dermatitis. Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) has been reported, mostly due to contact allergy (CA) to topical agents. Objectives: We present three patients with therapy resistant peristomal dermatitis, suggesting ACD caused by different stoma products. Methods: Patch testing was perf

Efficiency evaluation of a conductive Electric Road System with respect to traffic characteristics

Electric Road Systems (ERS) are effective charging infrastructures that allows electric vehicles to receive energy while driving. This energy is used both to propel the vehicle and to charge the battery. Sufficient deployment of ERS implies that charging opportunities become greatly increased, allowing for electric vehicles to have smaller batteries and easing some of the problems associated with

CYCLICITY IN THE DRURY-ARVESON SPACE AND OTHER WEIGHTED BESOV SPACES

Let H be a space of analytic functions on the unit ball Bd in Cd with multiplier algebra Mult(H). A function f ∈ H is called cyclic if the set [f], the closure of {ϕf : ϕ ∈ Mult(H)}, equals H. For multipliers we also consider a weakened form of the cyclicity concept. Namely for n ∈ N0 we consider the classes Cn(H) = {ϕ ∈ Mult(H): ϕ /= 0, [ϕn] = [ϕn+1]}. Many of our results hold for N:th order radi

Simultaneous multicolour transit photometry of hot Jupiters HAT-P-19b, HAT-P-51b, HAT-P-55b, and HAT-P-65b

Accurate physical parameters of exoplanet systems are essential for further exploration of planetary internal structure, atmospheres, and formation history. We aim to use simultaneous multicolour transit photometry to improve the estimation of transit parameters, to search for transit timing variations (TTVs), and to establish which of our targets should be prioritized for follow-up transmission s
