This presentation will engage with the issue of educational reform in the Middle East, discussing preliminary findings of a recently initiated research project on community based educational projects in Beirut. Such initiatives will be discussed in relation to national Lebanese educational policies and practices, as well as in relation to international educational programs such as Education for Al
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fyra oberoende empiriska studier. Samtliga studier bidrar till den ekonomiska litteraturen kring barn och ungdomars hälsa och hälsans betydelse för utbildning och arbetsmarknadsutfall senare i livet. Samtliga studier focuserar på typ 1-diabetes men beaktar olika åldrar för sjukdomens debut. En sammanfattande slutsats av avhandlingen är att individThis thesis consists of four independent exploratory research papers contributing to the economic literature on child and adolescent health, and adult educational and labor market outcomes. Each paper considers type 1 diabetes and focuses on onset over a specific age span. An overall conclusion of this thesis is that individuals with type 1 diabetes deviate from peers without diabetes, irrespectiv
Popular Abstract in Swedish Marsupialia (pungdjur) delas in i 280 nu levande arter, som är uppdelade i 19 familjer och sju ordningar. Släktskapet mellan de sju ordningarna har studerats på molekylär nivå på grundval av mitokondriella genom som sekvenserats i sin helhet. Pungdjur, jämte placentala (moderkaks-) däggdjur och kloakdjur, utgör de nu levande representanterna för klassen däggdjur. PungdjThe relationships of the mammalian infraclass Marsupialia have been investigated by phylogenetic analysis using completely sequenced mitochondrial genomes. The organisation and structure of the marsupial mitochondrial genomes deviates from the general mammalian structure. Several features, not known from other mammalian mitochondrial genomes have been shown to be present in all seven living marsup
This paper presents a new automatic algorithmfor extracting properties of an individual artist’sstyle and applying those properties to other drawings.The algorithm can be used to ensure consistent artisticstyle across a project by automatically transferringa selected style to hand drawn images. We present analgorithm that uses multiple stages; subdivision of animage into selected geons, extraction
The thin-plate spline (TPS) has been widely used in a number of areas such as image warping, shape analysis and scattered data interpolation. Introduced by Bookstein[1], it is a natural interpolating function in two dimensions, parameterized by a finite numb er of landmarks. However, even though the thin-plate spline has a very elegant intuitive interpretation as well as mathematical formulation i
BACKGROUND: Although parasitism has been acknowledged as an important selective force in the evolution of host life histories, studies of fitness effects of parasites in wild populations have yielded mixed results. One reason for this may be that most studies only test for a linear relationship between infection intensity and host fitness. If resistance to parasites is costly, however, fitness may
Rationale and Objectives: To compare the ability of normalized versus non-normalized metabolite ratios to differentiate recurrent brain tumor from radiation injury using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in previously treated patients. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients with previous diagnosis of primary intracranial neoplasm confirmed with biopsy/resection, previously treated with ra
Syftet med studien var att undersöka polyamorösas upplevelse av terapi med fokus på bemötande, den terapeutiska relationen och klienternas öppenhet med att berätta om sina relationsätt. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sex deltagare som samtliga är polyamorösa och har erfarenhet av psykoterapi. Studien har en hermeneutisk fenomenologisk vetenskapsteoretisk ansats och materialet analysThis study aims to investigate polyamorous individuals’ experiences of psychotherapy. We inquired whether attitudes towards polyamory may influence the therapeutic relationship, and clients’ experiences of being open about their polyamorous lifestyle. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants who are polyamorous and have experience of psychotherapy. The study is based on a he
Den digitala teknikens utveckling har sedan långt tillbaka inneburit ett hot mot upphovsrätten. Under de senaste åren har Cloud Computing, eller molnbaserade datatjänster, framstått som ett allt intressantare forsknings- och tillämpningsområde inom teknikbranschen. Cloud Computing utgör en teknisk infrastruktur där användaren har tillgång till data som är belägen utanför den egna plattformen och k
Ovako Ajax me, in York, South Carolina, USA manufactures seamless steel rings. The rings are made from blocks, which are heated, pressed, punched and then rolled to desired size and shape. Due to tougher competition on the seamless steel ring market, it is necessary to know the total production time for an order of specific rings, in order to be able to price the rings correctly and plan the prod
There is a need for novel strategies to initiate cancer cell death. One approach is the use of Smac mimetics, which antagonize inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). Recent studies have shown that combinations of Smac mimetics such as LBW242 or LCL161 in combination with chemotherapeutic agents increase cancer cell death. Here we show that the protein kinase C (PKC) activator TPA together with th
This paper examines whether social spending cushions the effect of globalization on within‐country inequality. Using information on disposable and market income inequality and data on overall social spending, and health and education spending from the ILO and the World Bank/WHO, we analyze whether social spending moderates the association between economic globalization and inequality. The results
Introduction: Genome-wide association studies have identified several novel genetic loci associated with stroke risk, but how genetic factors influence stroke outcome is less studied. The Genetics of Ischaemic Stroke Functional outcome network aims at performing genetic studies of stroke outcome. We here describe the study protocol and methods basis of Genetics of Ischaemic Stroke Functional outco
