Indigenous people are not obviously, or naturally, stewards of the environment. But when the idea that they are such custodians gains legal traction, and when indigenous land-use practices are codified to reflect environmental principles, they become a burden of responsibility that has significant consequences for the lives and the livelihoods of indigenous communities.This thesis is about Ikalaha

OBJECTIVE: This study utilized the evidence-gap map method and critically examined the scope, methodologies, and focus of the studies that investigated the influence of the built environment on inpatient healthcare settings over a decade (2010-2021).METHODS: We conducted a systematic review per the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines and surveyed 406 artic

Warfare has been commonly associated with increasing levels of inflation, with important implications for tax systems. In this chapter, we first review the literature on war finance and inflation, considering both the fiscal causes of inflation during wartimes and the effects of inflation on tax revenues. Second, we focus on developments in the income tax during the World Wars, building upon our p

The advancement of mobile technologies and their ability to utilize the Global Positioning System (GPS) to accurately locate their substantial number of users, prompt Location-Based Services (LBS) significantly. Ride-sharing is a popular means of transportation that utilizes LBS. With the rapid development of smart cities and their impact on addressing the critical issues of urban life such as tra

During the Late Iron Age, a large variety of dogs and the earliest evidence of dog leashes appear in Scandinavia. This study is based on an analysis of the dogs in the Nabberör boat grave on the island of Öland in relation to dogs from other burials and settlements.Breeding and care of the dogs have been analysed through the integrated life stories of individual dogs, based on age, sex and health

BACKGROUND: Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in selected individuals with the rare tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) may benefit from resective epilepsy surgery. Furthermore, associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND) are common in patients with TSC; however, long-term data on how surgery affects neuropsychiatric comorbidities are sparse.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two retrospective approaches were used

This article presents readings of three French novels from the nineteenth century, namely Balzac's La Peau de chagrin, Huysmans' À rebours and Octave Mirbeau's Le Jardin des supplices. It examines issues of representation and meaning in relation to debt narratives and the use of bodies as a motif in relation to debt, and it argues that, in these novels, literary language and monetary representatio

Engraved ochres and ostrich eggshells from the South African Blombos Cave and Diepkloof Rock Shelter are among the earliest expressions of human symbolic behavior. Furthermore, they appear to document a continuous practice of abstract mark-making across ~40.000 years. During this time, the engraved patterns change from simpler unstructured patterns to complex, ordered and symmetric cross-hatchings

Sustainable products have arrived on the market and faced competition with traditional products with one extra challenge: they normally tend to be more expensive than traditional ones. Customers are yet to pay more for these products as they are alerted for environmental impacts. However, the gap between knowledge and action is being decreased slowly. One of the factors for this sluggish behavior

Hela människor handlar om mötet med patienten i behandling av psykisk ohälsa. Perioden är sent 1700-tal till 1924, en tid av revolutionerande förändringar både i tolkningen och hanteringen av psykiskt lidande. En rad behandlingstraditioner växte fram, var och en med sina egna teorier om vad sjukligheten kunde bero på och hur den skulle bemötas. Några traditioner lever kvar i dag, som allmänmedicin

By measuring brain activity, through techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), it is possible to decode which sound source a person is listening to, called auditory attention decoding (AAD). This can either be done investigating the relation between speech sources and corresponding brain responses over time, or by discrimi-natively estimating directions to which auditory attention is focuse

Reducing socioeconomic health inequalities is a key goal of most health systems. A challenge in this regard is that healthcare providers may have incentives to avoid or undertreat patients who are relatively costly to treat. Due to the socioeconomic gradient in health, individuals with low socioeconomic status (SES) are especially likely to be negatively affected by such attempts. To counter these
