Since Perestroika, Russian journalism has gone through a liberalization. However, the short lived apex of journalistic freedom that took place in the late 1980s and early 1990s was followed by a setback in particular since Putin’s accession to power in 2000. The situation for the freedom of the daily press has stagnated. Despite this, the findings based on qualitative text analysis of news article
Several digestive system models have been developed, varying in sophistication. These models measure under dynamic, semi-dynamic, or batch conditions, with notable distinctions between them. This chapter covers models for gastrointestinal digestion, including static and dynamic models, and important aspects of digestion and fermentation, such as bioaccessibility, bioavailability, and bioconversion
Diplomatihistorien hör till en av historievetenskapens giganter som under sin livsbana ofta ifrågasatts och utmanats. Denna artikel inleds med en historiografisk tillbakablick på framväxten av New Diplomatic History, dess definitioner av tidigmodern diplomati, samt en överblick av aktuella forskningsteman och frågor i internationell forskning. Särskilt fokus läggs på nordisk diplomatihistoria via Diplomatic history is one of the giants of historical scholarship, which has often been questioned and challenged throughout its lifetime. This article discusses the field of New Diplomatic History centered on definitions of diplomacy in general and specifically on research on the early modern period during the last decades. Special focus is placed on Nordic early modern diplomatic history through
For a fixed analytic function g on the unit disc, we consider the analytic paraproducts induced by g, which are formally defined by Tgf(z)=∫0zf(ζ)g′(ζ)dζ, Sgf(z)=∫0zf′(ζ)g(ζ)dζ, and Mgf(z)=g(z)f(z). We are concerned with the study of the boundedness of operators in the algebra Ag generated by the above operators acting on Hardy, or standard weighted Bergman spaces on the disc. The general question
Laser-driven compact particle accelerators can provide ultrashort pulses of broadband X-rays, well suited for undertaking X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements on a femtosecond timescale. Here the Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) features of the K-edge of a copper sample have been observed over a 250 eV window in a single shot using a laser wakefield accelerator, providing inf
Although e-scooter sharing has become increasingly attractive, little attention has been paid to a comprehensive comparison of e-scooter sharing mobility in multiple cities. To fill this gap, we conduct a comparative study to reveal the similarity and difference of e-scooter sharing mobility by collecting and analyzing vehicle availability data from 30 European cities during post COVID-19 pandemic
We study the rheological response of dense suspensions of elliptical particles, with an aspect ratio equal to 3, under oscillatory shear flows and imposed pressure by numerical simulations. Like for the isotropic particles, we find that the oscillatory shear flows respect the Cox-Merz rule at large oscillatory strains but differ at low strains, with a lower viscosity than the steady shear and high
To accelerate the materials discovery and development process for a sustainable technology advancement it is imperative to explore and develop combined high-throughput material synthesis and analysis workflows. In this work, we investigate a method of combinatorial inkjet-printing to tune the composition of the inorganic cesium lead mixed halide perovskite solid solution, CsPb(BrxI1-x)3. The compo
The use of ionizing radiation and radioactive substances for diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic procedures in health care provides benefits to millions of people each year. Since ionizing radiation also has harmful effects, a radiation protection approach is needed. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has formulated the primary aim of radiation protection in gene
8-oxo Guanine DNA Glycosylase 1 is the initiating enzyme within base excision repair and removes oxidized guanines from damaged DNA. Since unrepaired 8-oxoG could lead to G : C→T : A transversion, base removal is of utmost importance for cells to ensure genomic integrity. For cells with elevated levels of reactive oxygen species this dependency is further increased. In the past we and others have
Peace agreements, especially those signalling the end of internal armed conflicts, can be understood as blueprints of the envisioned peacebuilding. This chapter provides a discursive analysis of 130 peace agreements from interstate and intrastate conflicts in Africa between 1990 and 2019 which have provisions on women, girls or gender. The aim is to explore how women, their roles and functions are
Abstract på danskaDenne artikel undersøger relationen mellem kold krig og velfærd ved at afdække hvordan Civilforsvaret i stigende grad blev bygget ind i velfærdsstatens arkitektur fra midten af 1950’erne. Artiklens hoveddel er tre case-studier: et socialt boligbyggeri, en skole og et hospital, der alle havde vitale funktioner i det beredskab, der var etableret af Civilforsvaret for at imødegå denThis article explores the relationship between welfare and warfare during theCold War by focusing on the increasing incorporation of civil defence into welfare state architecture from the mid-1950s. Three case studies: a social housing area, a school and a hospital, demonstrate how ordinary welfare architecture had vital functions for civil defence in preparations for the nuclear war. The article
Public transportation (PT) is an essential system for cities to achieve sustainability. However, determination of proper locations for PT stations and finding suitable routes are critical decisions. This paper aims to propose a novel method to determine BRT stations and routes in the cities, using Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and Binary Integer Programming (BIP). In the proposed method, first, a s
