Cartographic mashup is a powerful tool for users to visualize thematic data together with base maps, and it is increasingly popular due to the better availability of geodata. In current typical mashups, thematic data and base mapscome from different providers without any connection between the data sets, and their scales are not synchronized. In this paper, we firstly explore the problems in such

INTRODUCTION: Patient simulation can be useful for medical students in developing communication skills for vulnerable situations. Three participants are primarily involved in the patient simulation activities: the student, the simulated patient (SP), and the teacher. We here aimed to explore these participants' perceptions of learning in a patient simulation scenario.METHODS: We conducted individu

This article concerns legal representatives’ negotiations around the principle of children’s best interests and children’s right to participation according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in cases of families applying for asylum in Sweden. Using material from nine interviews with children’s advocates, we analyse their strategies for obtaining narratives from children without putting

T-cell development provides an excellent model system for studying lineage commitment from a multipotent progenitor. The intrathymic development process has been thoroughly studied. The molecular circuitry controlling it has been dissected and the necessary steps like programmed shut off of progenitor genes and T-cell genes upregulation have been revealed. However, the exact timing between decisio

The aim of this study is to investigate the association between self-perceived voice problems and social participation among older adults (65-80 years). A complementary aim was to investigate the association between self-perceived voice problems and physical activity. Method Participants were recruited through social media and asked to complete an online questionnaire. In total, 152 individuals we

This chapter focuses on the diplomatic, security, and defence dimensions of EU foreign policy. Developments in the last decade, not least Russia's annexation of Crimea, China's increasing global political - and not only economic - prevalence, and America's reoriented foreign policy all speak to this dynamic - and also render the EU a more challenging position in international relations. Recognitio

This chapter reviews the most important beginning with the long tradition of prescriptive tracts, offering observations and advice concerning the conduct of diplomacy. Authors from du Rosier to Nicolson were practitioners, who not only aimed at describing and explaining diplomacy but also had a clear prescriptive bent, offering recommendations as to the best conduct of diplomacy. War and military

This study addresses a one-to-one relation between articulation and acoustics at segment boundaries. The study focuses on Swedish word accents and how a rising or falling tone affect vowel segment duration. The paper explains how segment boundaries are a result of rapid movements of the articulators. In the acceleration profile, this is identified as peak acceleration, which can be measured. The t

This chapter discusses the treatment that Professor Ruggie’s Guiding Principles offer for the responsibility to respect human rights (RtR) as applied to core companies whose affiliates’ operations infringe human rights. The issue is about a core company’s responsibility to act to address abuses that occur towards the periphery of its group or network. The fairness of globalisation is often questio

This paper mainly consists of two parts. The first one, originally written as an outline for the theoretical grounds of my thesis (that considers “the global justice movement”), consists in a discussion about the roots of the concept of social movements, and ends up in proposing three ways of conceiving social movements. The second part consists in an outline of one of these dimensions of social m

The Andean lakes of northern Chile and southern Bolivia are characterized by their high salinity due to arid climate and high evaporation. These lakes are poorly studied due to access difficulties. The aim of this study is to characterize two shallow saline lakes in northern Chile (Salar de Atacama, 23°S, Chile) and South Lipez of Bolivia (Khalina lake, 22.61°S) using satellite images (Landsat 8).
