The rise of the far right in Europe is central to an understanding of the new political variables emerging in the face of the European economic crisis. This paper focuses on the media representations of Greece and its role in the economic crisis by extra-parliamentarian groups of the far right in Denmark and Sweden. It demonstrates how the parliamentary extreme right in these countries “blame” Gre

In a small perception study, our ability to estimate speaker age from speech samples was investigated with respect to stimulus duration, stimulus type and speaker gender. Four separate listening tests were carried out with four different sets of stimuli: 10 and 3 seconds of spontaneous speech, one isolated word, and 6 concatenated isolated words, all produced by the same 24 speakers. The results s

The aim of this study is to generate a quality-controlled sub-kilometer dataset of the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) across Scandinavia from satellite. FAPAR is required for estimating the amount of PAR absorbed (APAR) by vegetation, which in turn allows for estimation of carbon uptake. In this study, FA-PAR was modeled from normalized difference vegetation index

A previous investigation has shown that at normal angle of incidence, the integral of the reflectance over wavelength is bounded for a flat metal backed absorber. The bound is applicable to any absorber made of linear, time-invariant, causal and passive materials. We generalize the physical bound to arbitrary angle of incidence and polarization. Different design examples and numerical calculations

In this paper, we present the design and fabrication of biosensors based on SU-8 cantilevers with a thickness ≤ 5μm. The processing of the polymer was optimized to reduce initial bending of the devices which is essential for optical read-out of the cantilever deflection. Solvent absorption in the SU-8 had to be minimized to reduce drift of the cantilever bending during measurements in liquid. The

Timber and glass are materials with aesthetically pleasing properties. If the materials can be combined appropriately, drawbacks can be overcome and the beneficial mechanical properties utilised and timber/glass elements can be a natural part of the load-carrying structure of buildings. Since glass is a brittle material, an important task for the timber is to provide redundancy – a glass failur

Brain injury rehabilitation is a long and difficult process that includes training of so-called instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). This type of training involves activities like preparing meals, doing housework, grocery shopping etc. and it is often used by occupational therapists when they teach brain injury patients how to manage their daily life.
