Lucian Blaga started to write his drama having a very strong philosophical and anthropological background, at least subconscious if not literary expressed. Thus his aesthetics within the ten plays is influenced by his primary concern to resuscitate a supposed ancestral mentality. The first aspect that strikes the reader is the omnipotence of the sacred, be it divine or demonic. Anyhow, each of his

Popular Abstract in Swedish Multipla infektioner med olika patogener eller olika stammar av en patogen är vanliga. Positiva eller negativa interaktioner (konkurrens respektive facilitering) mellan patogener som infekterar samma värd kan påverka förekomsten av enskilda patogener och därmed ha stor betydesle för förekomsten av en specifik sjukdom. I denna avhandling studerar jag två fästingburna bakMost animals will encounter several more or less severe infectious diseases during their lifetime, and simultaneous infections with more than one pathogen, or several different strains of the same pathogen, are common in natural populations. Ticks transmit a wide variety of different pathogens and can also be simultaneously infected with more than one pathogen. The possible interactions between di

This paper reviews an efficient inversion technique for complex media utilizing transient electromagnetic scattering data. The approach to solve the scattering problems (direct and inverse) relies on a wave splitting technique and an invariant imbedding technique. The analysis is illustrated by a numerical example.

Shortly before Christmas 2012, in a Beijing flea market and at a price, I was offered a cache of more than two thousand moth-eaten surveillance (“stake-out”) logs from the early 1950s emanating with the Bureau of Public Security in the city of Harbin, Manchuria. Unable to figure out what to do with them, I turned the offer down. Only later did it dawn on the historian in me that the logs just migh

What are the social positions of adults who were in long-term foster care as children, compared with the general population and with adults who grew up at home in families similar to foster children's birth families? How common is it to have been in foster care? Four approaches are used in this study: - A systematic review of around 50 studies on adult foster children. Conclusions are more pessim

The article emphasizes the opportunities presented to local potentates provided by the establishment of the Dutch East India Company as de facto sovereignty over West Java. Those seizing the opportunities prospered as never before; those who did not went under. The process altered indelibly the fabric of Javanese society.

Conditions for discontinuous bifurcations of the incremental fields in elastic-platic materials subjected to the condition of either plane stress or plane strain are derived and explicit expressions for the critical hardening modulus and the corresponding bifurcation directions are obtained for a quite general class of plasticity models. The only restriction is that the gradients of the yield func
