The causes and extent of regional inequality in the process of economic growth are at the core of historical economic research. So far, much attention has been devoted to studying the role of industrialization in driving regional divergence. But empirical studies on relatively unequal countries such as Italy or Spain show that inequality was already high when their modern industrialization began (
Background: Data on stroke epidemiology and availability of hospital-based stroke services around the world are important for guiding policy decisions and healthcare planning. Aims: To provide the most current incidence, mortality and case–fatality data on stroke and describe current availability of stroke units around the world by country. Methods: We searched multiple databases (based on our exi
User-related assessment of a level 3 automated driving system, providing functions such as lane- and distance-keeping, stop & go driving, lane change and overtaking, was carried out on a motorway in Germany with the aim to assess user-related issues of automated driving, i.e., behavior when driving with automation on motorways, user experiences, reactions and acceptance. Twenty-one persons dro
Uppsatsen behandlar utifrån en observationsstudie mässor och det mässlandskap som finns utformat under evenemangen med utgångspunkt i Bitners (1992) servicelandskap. Där finns tre parter, arrangörer, utställare och besökare, som ska interagera med varandra i en temporär miljö. Arrangörerna kan endast till viss grad styra hur utställarna har möjlighet att agera. Besökarna interagerar främst med utsThis essay discusses trade fairs and the landscape which is built during the event based on Bitners (1992) servicescape. From our observational study we have discovered that there are three parties involved which will interact with each other in a temporary environment; organisers, exhibitors and visitors. The organisers can only control how the exhibitors interact with the visitors to a certain e
Det har länge varit känt att delar av läkares yrkesutövning är av sådan karaktär att den i objektiv mening uppfyller rekvisiten i vissa brottsbestämmelser. Eftersom sjukvården är en önskvärd verksamhet från samhällets sida finns det ett behov av en straffrättslig ansvarsfrihetsregel eller princip som motiverar tillåtligheten i läkares yrkesutövning. I denna uppsats undersöks läkares befogenheter oIt has long been recognized that the professional practice of doctors is of such a nature that in an objective sense it fulfills the requirements of certain criminal acts. Since healthcare is a desirable activity on the part of society, the professional practice of doctors needs to be covered by a discharge from liability that justifies the permissibility of medical practice. This paper examines t
The importance of weather for tourism is now widely recognized. However, no research has so far addressed weather events from retrospective viewpoints, and, in particular, the role of “extreme” events in longer-term holiday memories. To better understand the character of ex post weather experiences and their importance in destination image perceptions and future travel planning behavior, this expl
PROPERTY TAX MAPPING, ASSESMENT & MONITORING USING GIS Property tax recovery is considered one of the most challenging tasks for governments around the globe in general and in third world countries including Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka in particular. Today, the existing real property assessment and tax collection system are under pressure to increase its efficiency. Moreover, monitoring anProperty Tax Mapping and Assessment Using GIS Property tax recovery has remained one of the challenging tasks over the years for almost every government around the world, especially in third-world countries. Today, the existing property assessment and tax collection system in Pakistan is antique and defective in many ways and is under pressure to increase its efficiency and tax revenue. Tax asse
Climate change and human impact play a huge role in the sustainability and development of ecosystems and the services they offer to societies over temporal and spatial scales. Fossil pollen-based estimates provide unique information on past land cover change, but to date there are not many methods able to create spatially continuous maps and have a fine scale of land cover changes inferred from po
Seven or eight thousand years ago, as the farthest the human memory can reach, the Egyptians established a great civilization that was considered as the origin of civilization on the Earth. There is no place in Egypt where man cannot find evidence that enlighten this civilization and tell about Egypt's role in most of the world's historic events from the beginning of mankind until the pres
Experience with crash prediction modeling has confirmed the importance of traffic volume, not only as exposure but also as a predictive variable. For intersection-related collisions, for example, angle collisions or any collisions involving turning vehicles, traffic volumes on both intersecting roads are necessary for sufficient prediction of crash count These collisions occur not only at intersec

När beslut skall fattas rörande barn förekommer det situationer där flera olika lagstiftningar skall bedömas. När vårdåtgärder på barn aktualiseras skall hälso- och sjukvårdens lagstiftning parallellt tillämpas med föräldrabalkens bestämmelser om vårdnadshavarens ansvar och barnets växande autonomi. Grundlagen och hälso- och sjukvårdslagen ställer upp krav på att ett samtycke skall föreligga för aWhen considering measures to children, there are situations where several different acts of legislation must be assessed. When care measures in children being addressed the health care legislation applies in parallel with parental code provisions of the guardian's responsibility and the child's growing autonomy. The Constitution and Health Act sets out a requirement that a consent must be
The transition to green economies has been mediated by concrete cases and experiments in a variety of different industrial and social sectors. What is lacking, is research that would synthesize key findings and “lessons learned” across a variety of cases. In this study, we explore ten cases of green economy of different sectors and approaches from five European countries and identify factors that
BACKGROUND: Opioid-related deaths have increased in Western countries over recent decades. Despite numerous studies investigating opioid-related mortality, only a few have focused on the lives of the deceased individuals prior to their deaths, specifically regarding contact with care-providing authorities such as health, social and correctional services. Furthermore, a change has been noted in the
Living in a complex and dynamically changing environment requires accurate and timely behavioural responses that allow for adapting to such changes. Well-developed perceptual systems provide a continuous flow of abundant and up-to-date information on the changes in the environment, and, thereby, allow for tailoring behavioural responses accordingly. However, issuing any behavioral response would n
Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to describe how EL was eased, as narrated by frail older people. Background: Existential loneliness (EL) is an unavoidable part of the human condition. It is a complex phenomenon that has been described as disconnection from life. If EL is acknowledged in the care of older people, the experience of EL can be reduced. Design: In this qualitative study,
Background A substantial untapped potential for risk reduction may be fulfilled by applying intensive lifestyle interventions targeting the co-existing risky lifestyle factors Smoking, Nutrition (both malnutrition and obesity), risky Alcohol intake, and Physical inactivity (SNAP) before surgery. This trial will compare the effect of combined and individually tailored prehabilitation with standard
This thesis discusses the design and implementation of competition policy in Poland. The aim is both to analyze weather the design of competition policy in Poland corresponds to their special needs as a transition economy, and if there is a trade-off between competition policy and industry policy in Polish merger control. After the collapse of communism, the transition to a market economy required
In 2015, LIBER commissioned the “Working group on Research and Education”. The goal was to collect best practices in library support to both education and research, in part by examining user survey data. As a first step the group started a European LibQUAL consortium, which was evaluated in 2016. As a second step, a survey sent to all 301 European LIBER university libraries asking questions pertai
