In our article entitled ‘The Responsibility to Protect – An incoherent Doctrine?’ we claimed that R2P in the version proposed by the ICISS is incoherent. We argued that the ICISS-report used the criteria of right intention, proportionality and legitimate authority to determine when a humanitarian intervention is obligatory and we continued by arguing that this cannot be done in a coherent manner.

In this paper, we analyse the functioning of private capital markets in Holland in the late medieval period. We argue that in the absence of banks and state agencies involved in the supply of credit, entrepreneurs' access to credit was determined by two interrelated factors. The first was the quality of property rights protection and the extent to which properties could be used as collateral. The

In view of global climate change and the increasing energy demand there is a need for renewable energy resources. This thesis discusses an energy-driven biorefinery concept based on the agricultural residues corn stover and wheat straw. The work is divided into two main parts. The first part is concerned with the effects of steam pretreatment and choice of acid catalyst on ethanol and biogas produ

The presence of 5‐HT (serotonin) in ovarian tissue and its varying concentrations during the oestrous cycle suggests that it takes part in ovarian function and in the ovulatory process as one of several mediators of the inflammatory‐type reaction preceding follicular rupture. With the aid of a recirculating perfusion model, in which the central stimulatory action of 5‐HT was avoided, its direct ov

Systemic hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is accomplished when a patient is breathing 100% oxygen in an environment with increased barometric pressure. A typical HBO treatment protocol of diabetic foot ulcer involves 20 to 40 sessions. Treatment is usually given as daily 90- to 120-minute HBO sessions at pressures between 2.0 and 2.5 absolute atmospheres. The wide use of HBO as treatment of diabetic foot u

Bodily engagement with the material and sociocultural world is ubiquitous in doing and learning science. However, science education researchers have often tended to emphasize the disembodied and nonmaterial aspects of science learning, thereby overlooking the crucial role of the body in meaning-making processes. While in recent years we have seen a turn towards embracing embodied perspectives, the

Key recommendationsPastureland restoration must be implemented to reduce dependency oncoping mechanisms such as emergency feeding, mechanized transport andintense workloads. These coping mechanisms are increasingly used to dealwith the cumulative effects of encroachments from competing land uses,predator pressure, and the impacts of climate change on snow conditions.Vigorous thinning of dense, man

The translational GTPases hydrolyze GTP on the ribosome at several stages of the protein synthesis cycle. Because of the strong conservation of their catalytic center, these enzymes are expected to operate through a universal hydrolysis mechanism, in which a critical histidine residue together with the sarcin-ricin loop of the large ribosomal subunit is necessary for GTPase activation. Here we exa

Objective: Investigate the role of metabolic syndrome and obesity in incident osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Prospective cohort study with up to 11 years follow-up. From a general population cohort of 28,786 individuals from Sweden aged 45 to 75, we selected individuals without OA diagnosis and without joint pain during the year prior to the baseline. Metabolic syndrome was defined at baseline by t

This chapter challenges the widely held belief that more consumer choices lead to better outcomes. This chapter explores how the proliferation of options, while seemingly empowering, can actually lead to decision paralysis, dissatisfaction and unsustainable consumption patterns. The myth is rooted in classical economic theories that equate more choice with freedom and personal satisfaction, but ps

Over the past decades, global warming has led to a lengthening of the time window during which temperatures remain favorable for carbon assimilation and tree growth, resulting in a lengthening of the green season. The extent to which forest green seasons have tracked the lengthening of this favorable period under climate warming, however, has not been quantified to date. Here, we used remote sensi

Background: A new, supposedly more reproducible radiographic classification, set to replace the Tönnis classification of hip dislocations, was proposed in 2015: the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) classification. Purpose: To compare the IHDI classification with the Tönnis classification when evaluating the severity of hip dislocations as well as their respective inter- and intra-obser

Environmental problems are said to be research dependent, as science is needed to identify phenomena such as climate change. New technological cures are however often characterised by both research dependence and scientific uncertainty. One example is Biofuels. A few years back they were seen as a sustainable solution to the transport sector's carbon dioxide emissions and oil dependence. Since
