The notion of ‘post-truth’ has attracted considerable interest both in academic and political circles, as well as in public debate more generally. A ‘post-truth society’ has been defined as a society in which ‘“objective facts” are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief’. This also implies a society in which fake news is disseminated on purpose and w

The political and institutional crisis in Brazil from 2015, fueled largely by corruption probes and lawfare, had severe repercussions within the Brazilian construction and energy sectors. While many international investors withdrew from Brazil in this period, Chinese investment surged. This article accounts for the particular characteristics of Chinese investments, such as sectorial complementarit

There is once again an increased demand for interventions supporting small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) because of the widely held believe that they provide most of the jobs. In order to answer the question whether pro SME policies are justified on factual grounds the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) came out with a new study

This thesis investigates electronic transport in several types of novel heterostructure nanowires. The first part of the thesis focuses on band-to-band mechanisms in heterostructure nanowires for low-power electronics. First, tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) based on InP/GaAs heterostructure nanowires with n-i-p doping profile are explored. To further enhance the interband tunneling current

This paper reviews friction phenomena and friction models of interest for automatic control. Particular emphasis is given to two recently developed dynamic friction models, the Bliman-Sorine model and the LuGre model. These models capture many frictional phenomena observed in laboratory experiments. The behaviors of the models in different situations are discussed in detail. Methods for friction c

Ett detta kapitel som behandlar sociala rättigheter i ett domstolssammanhang analyseras domstolars betydelsefulla roll när det gäller att uttolka och använda begreppet skälig levnadsnivå, som ett sätt att både omförhandla och utveckla rättigheter.

The authors describe a 9-year-old boy who had an accident with his bicycle. He presented with hematuria a few weeks later, and cystoscopy results showed a polypod lesion near the veru montanum. The lesion was resected, and histologic examination showed a nephrogenic adenoma (NA), which recurred 6 years later with hematuria. NA is a rare lesion in a child's urethra and can be a source of hematuria.

We use Cholesky decomposition of the density matrix in atomic orbital basis to define a new set of occupied molecular orbital coefficients. Analysis of the resulting orbitals ("Cholesky molecular orbitals") demonstrates their localized character inherited from the sparsity of the density matrix. Comparison with the results of traditional iterative localization schemes shows minor differences with

Down syndrome is a leading genetic cause of mental retardation. Here, we show high fractal dimensions and Lempel-Ziv complexity and lower minimum path fractal dimension (P <= .0006) for the oral vascular networks of patients (n = 14) and their unaffected parents. This newly recognized sign may provide a useful phenotypical marker for identifying couples potentially at risk for offspring with Down
