Between February 1999 and July 2000, a team of researchers from Britain, Denmark, France, and Sweden carried out a telephone survey, background investigations, and six expert seminars in Central and Eastern Europe, with the purpose of exploring the consequences and implications of the spread of ISO 14001 and EMAS in this region. The telephone survey, carried out during the summer of 1999, targeted

This review article sums up the key points in the 2011 book on Christian anarchism by Alexandre Christoyannopoulos. His innovative project here was to draw from a long lineage of Christian anarchist thinker in order to weave together a generic theory of Christian anarchism wherein pacifist anarchism is regarded to be the logical political consequence derived from the teachings of Jesus.

A speaker who issues a confirming turn starting with particles like yes, oui, ja, and so on, may mean to extend it and provide further material. This study shows that French and German speakers employ the same phonetic contrast to indicate the nature of that turn continuation. In spite of the typological difference between the German use of glottalization and the French use of linking phenomena fo

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Patients with uncharacteristic inflammatory symptoms such as long-standing fatigue or pain, or a prolonged fever, constitute a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of the present study was to determine if an extended immunophenotyping of lymphocytes and monocytes including activation markers can define disease-specific patterns, and thus provide valuable diagnostic i

In the end of the 1990ths came alarming reports that the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) could cause autism. The discovery about the connection was told in mass media all over the world and in Europe the vaccination frequency decreased with several percent. In some areas less than 90% of the children were vaccinated, a limit that calls “herd immunity”. In interviews with parents,

High-profile bribery scandals that involve powerful people and large sums of money are often the object of general indignation and legal action. When it comes to bribery of the everyday kind, however, it is far less obvious which gifts should be seen as bribes, be it in a moral or legal sense. Legal cases of this kind almost always include voices that strive to refute accusations of bribery. This

It is important to know about how frail older people experience their physical decline and how they adapt to their bodily changes so that the health system can design preventive interventions targeting this group early on in the disability process. The aim of this study was to explore how older people perceive their physical decline. The study is qualitative in design and based on interviews with

We demonstrate that high-order harmonics generated by short, intense laser pulses in gases provide an interesting radiation source for extreme ultraviolet interferometry, since they are tunable, coherent, of short pulse duration, and simple to manipulate. Harmonics from the 9th to the 15th are used to measure the thickness of an aluminum layer. The 11th harmonic is used to determine the spatial di

Liquid-gas two-phase flows occur frequently in daily life, in nature e.g. falling rain drops or waves in the sea, and in industrial applications, e.g. fuel injection in Diesel engines or gas turbines. For many of these applications the interaction between liquid and gas is crucial for their efficient operation. In this work liquid-gas interaction is studied numerically, specifically for atomizing

AIM: To assess how drinking patterns and delinquency are associated with self-reported experiences of alcohol-related violence in an adolescent population. POPULATION AND RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional data were acquired from the Scania drug use survey 2005, consisting of 3847 students in 9th grade. Abstainers were omitted and 1873 responses analyzed, with binary and multi-variable logistic regr
