Preliminary Characterization of Submarine Basalt Magnetic Mineralogy Using Amplitude-Dependence of Magnetic Susceptibility

The past ∼200 million years of Earth's geomagnetic field behavior have been recorded within oceanic basalts, many of which are only accessible via scientific ocean drilling. Obtaining the best possible paleomagnetic measurements from such valuable samples requires an a priori understanding of their magnetic mineralogies when choosing the most appropriate protocol for stepwise demagnetization exper

Selective justice within the International Criminal Court and global inequalities

Afrikanska stater har nyligen hävdat att internationell rätt är i processen att förvandlas till en ny form av kolonialism och en hegemonisk makt vilket tidigare maskerats som the rule of law. I föreliggande avhandling undersöks Internationella brottmålsdomstolens partiskhet mot den tredje världens afrikanska stater, i samband med den mänskliga rättigheten till en rättvis rättegång. Avhandlingens öAfrican states have recently claimed that international law is transforming into a new form of colonialism and a hegemonic power masquerading as the international rule of law. The International Criminal Court's bias against the Third World African states in correlation to the human right to a fair trial is investigated. The thesis overarching question addresses the Court's selective justic

Att skapa inkludering i ideella organisationer - En studie baserad på personers upplevelser av exkludering

I den här studien har jag tittat på upplevelser från personer som inte känner sig inkluderade eller välkomna i ideella organisationer i Malmö som arbetar för ett mer demokratiskt samhälle. Detta har jag gjort genom att analysera intervjuer med dessa personer samt två andra organisationer genom min metod tematisk innehållsanalys utifrån min teori intersektionell feminism. Studien är placerad i MalmTo create inclusion in non-governmental organizations - A study based on people’s experiences on exclusion. In this study have I looked at the experience of people who do not feel included nor welcome in non-governmental organizations in Malmö who works towards a more democratic society. I have done this through analyzing interviews with these people as well as two other organizations through my

Towards understanding work-as-done in air traffic management safety assessment and design

This paper describes the approach taken and the results to develop guidance, to include Resilience Engineering principles in methodology for safety assessment of functional changes, in Air Traffic Management (ATM). It summarizes the process of deriving resilience principles for ATM, originating from Resilience Engineering concepts and transposed into ATM operations. These principles are the founda

Consumption needs and Quality of Life: Austrian Economics and the causes of migration

This paper re-introduces the view on migration causes by the Austrian School of Economics. Austrian economics has not earned its fame in the field of migration, but rather on advocating libertarian economics. Nonetheless Mises outlined a migration model, which can be understood by adding some clarifications by Hayek. Given that the institutional barriers to migration raised by the state are remove

Becoming a part of ‘elsewhereness’: The self-perceived integration of Swedish immigrants in Portugal

This article discusses the self-perceived integration of Swedes permanently residing in Portugal. The knowledge of how EU citizens, particularly Swedes, live and integrate into Portuguese society is limited. The conceptual framework on self-perceived integration takes its points of departure from the concepts of a sense of belonging to society and place, feelings of discomfort and coping tactics.

EU Cohesion Policy and spatial economic growth: trajectories in economic thought

This paper aims at identifying the current main economic thought influencing the EU Cohesion Policy. Postulates and assumptions on how economic growth spreads spatially in key EU policy framework documents are discussed and compared to different economic theories. Strategic EU documents increasingly foster the urban dimension, and focus resources on cities at the expense of cohesive regional devel

Minority Stress and Microaggression Experiences among Sexual Minority Women in Sweden

In the present article we explore when, where, and how Swedish sexual minority women experience minority stress and microaggression. Drawing on deductive thematic analysis of forty-eight interviews, we show that minority stress and microaggressions were experienced in a wide range of everyday life areas. Exposure was described in the forms of physical violence, threats and verbal abuse, ignorance

Ageing shocks and short-run regional labour market dynamics in a spatial panel VAR approach

Using a flexible spatial panel VAR model for a small-scale labour market system, we investigate the dynamic interdependences between changes in the demographic structure and the labour market performance of a regional economy. With a particular focus on ageing shocks, we describe an increase in the share of elderly in regional population due to exogenous changes in the institutional context, such

The visibility of stellar transients in the Galactic Centre

A semi-analytical simulation was developed to evaluate the K-band magnitudes of Red Giants [0.96 - 1.02 M⊙] orbiting the supermassive black hole in the galactic centre. The model assumed star formation between 10-12 Gyrs ago and by following the IMF and applying a random age condition, a stellar population was created. It was established that stars with mK ≤ 16 can be observed and then they become

Comparing a multi-linear (STEP) and systemic (FRAM) method for accident analysis

Accident models and analysis methods affect what accident investigators look for, which contributory factors are found, and which recommendations are issued. This paper contrasts the Sequentially Timed Events Plotting (STEP) method and the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) for accident analysis and modelling. The main issue addressed in this paper is the comparison of the established mul

Exploiting Sociocultural Issues in Election Campaign Discourse : The Case of Nyans in Sweden

The Swedish far-right party, the Sweden Democrats (SD), came to power in 2022 and is currently the second-largest party in the Swedish Parliament, the Riksdag. While it has been propagandizing an anti-migrant discourse, another newly founded party has been producing a counter-discourse. The newly created Nyans party claims to represent migrants and minorities in Sweden. However, its discourse uses

Highlights of Accelerated Degradation Mechanisms for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), considered green devices, use hydrogen and oxygen as reactants in electrochemical processes to produce electricity, water, and heat as by-products. The use of this technology in the automotive industry and power generation has led to a detailed study of its operating principle to make it cost-effective. Polymer electrolyte fuel cells as innovative technology

Current and emerging sequencing-based tools for precision cancer medicine

Current precision cancer medicine is dependent on the analyses of a plethora of clinically relevant genomic aberrations. During the last decade, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has gradually replaced most other methods for precision cancer diagnostics, spanning from targeted tumor-informed assays and gene panel sequencing to global whole-genome and whole-transcriptome sequencing analyses. The shi

Wetter trend in source region of Yangtze River by runoff simulating based on Grid-RCCC-WBM

Exploring the future hydroclimatic conditions of source region of Yangtze River (SRYaR), an alpine affected by climate change significantly, is essential for basin water resources management and development ss global climate change intensifies and the process of climate warming and humidification in Northwest China. This study proposed a practical framework for assessing water resource response to

Comparisons of methods for quantification of phlorotannins in brown seaweed

Introduction: Phlorotannins, bioactive natural phenolic polymer, existing in mostly brown seaweeds have been commonly quantified through colorimetric methods. Background: Colorimetric methods such as Folin-Ciocalteu (F-C) and 2,4- dimethoxybenzaldehyde (DMBA) assays have been widely used for total phlorotannins content (TPC) estimation. Aim(s): The aim of this study was to compare two different
