This article presents the analysis of a large survey on file-sharing that was conducted in April 2011 with over 75,000 respondents from all over the world. The study, also known as The Research Bay, due to that it was conducted in collaboration with the infamous BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay, by the Cybernorms research group. The aim of the online study of The Pirate Bay community has been to des

This book chapter discusses gender and sexuality in contemporary Scandinavian stagings of Henrik Ibsen's plays, with a special focus on the characters Nora (The Doll's House) and Hedda (Hedda Gabler).

The typical catalyst layers (CLs) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are fabricated as random heterogeneous composites to meet the multifunctional requirements of transport phenomena and electrochemical activity. The employment of Pt nano-particles, carbonaceous substrates and Nafion ionomers in CLs allows effective diffusion of hydrogen and oxygen, transport and phase change of water

Despite the considerable import of both response probability and response time for testing models of choice there is a dearth of chronometric studies of time- and space-order effects in discrimination of paired visual stimuli. In this study, systematic asymmetries in discriminating the brightness of paired visual stimuli are examined by way of binary response probability scaled in terms of log-odd

In my analysis of recent revisions to Swedish school policy texts, I look for traces of this relationship, reading school policy texts as the materialization of notions of national belonging. For this analysis, I engage discussions that question the secularity of secularism and critique notions of futurity and universal childhood.

Ethanol production by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae from dilute acid lignocellulose hydrolyzate was studied with the aim to improve fuel ethanol production. Specifically, the problem of inhibition was addressed. Lignocellulose hydrolyzate contains not only sugars, but also several compounds, such as furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), which can inhibit yeast growth and ethanol produc

This paper explores the linguistic encoding of placement and removal events in Jahai (Austroasiatic, Malay Peninsula) on the basis of descriptions from a video elicitation task. It outlines the structural characteristics of the descriptions and isolates semantically a set of situation types that find expression in lexical opposites: (1) putting/taking, (2) inserting/extracting, (3) dressing/undres

This paper investigates the relationship between the capital share in national income and personal income inequality over the long run. Using a new historical cross-country database on capital shares in 19 countries and data from the World Wealth and Income Database, we find strong long-run links between the aggregate role of capital in the economy and the size distribution of income. Over time, t

Modern military multi-role combat aircrafts need an emergency power system (EPU) to maintain back-up power supply for all normal and degraded flight modes. The reason for this requirement is that modern combat aircrafts are designed with built-in relaxed or negative stability. Inability of the Flight Control System to perform continuous, corrective control surface actuation, due to loss of power

Two different sensitive microtitre-plate based enzyme immunoassays were developed and evaluated for determination of the model drug compound, budesonide, in blood plasma. In the first approach, high sensitivity was obtained by using amperometric detection in a flow injection system for determination of the enzyme product p-aminophenol. The high sensitivity in the second approach was obtained using
