This article examines the question of trust in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a special focus on the role of ethnicity. We find generalised trust to be low and declining in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Moreover, generalised trust is negatively affected by the degree of ethnic heterogeneity in the region. However, a further examination of trust reveals a more complex relationship between ethnicity and trus

A non-associated plasticity model for friction materials was presented by Krenk (1999) and an efficient calibration procedure developed by Ahadi & Krenk (1999). The ability of the model to represent the behaviour of sand was verified by calibrating the model from different sets of triaxial drained tests for both loose and dense sand performed at different confining pressures. This paper is a c

Automation is increasingly part of everyday driving as systems such as adaptive cruise control (ACC) or collision warning systems become the norm. These systems are not perfect, resulting in the driver having to stay vigilant for any faults or warnings even with insufficient feedback, and be prepared to reclaim control from an automated driving situation to normal driving. A questionnaire was sent

Protein kinase C (PKC), a multi-gene family of enzymes, plays key roles in the pathways of signal transduction, growth control and tumorigenesis. Variations in the intracellular localization of the individual isoforms are thought to be an important mechanism for the isoform-specific regulation of enzyme activity and substrate specificity. To provide a dynamic method of analyzing the localization o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tandvårdens arbetsmiljö innehåller ett stort antal riskfaktorer som anses medföra exponering som genom sin skadliga inverkan kan ge upphov till symptom och på längre sikt ohälsa. Det gäller såväl fysiska, kemiska som psykosociala faktorer. Det är känt sedan länge att tandläkare utvecklar besvär från rörelseorganen, som anses vara arbetsrelaterade. Patienten behandlas iThe aim of the thesis was to focus on the occupational health risks in dentistry with emphasis on musculoskeletal disorders in the neck and upper limbs and neuropathy in the hands, in relation to exposure to physical workload, vibration and mercury. An increased high frequency of long-lasting and wide-spread musculoskeletal symptoms in the neck and shoulder regions (58-75% during the past 12 mont

CVES resistivity has been used to achieve a continuous image that reflects the hydraulic properties of the ground along a road stretch. The purpose was to map the vulnerability for pollutants to penetrate into the precious groundwater magazine under the Kristianstad plains. The investigation shows that a large part of the area is covered by impermeable layers in the form of a thick clay till. Larg

The base (BOP) and the top (TOP) of the world income pyramid represent the people living in poverty and the people from developed countries, respectively. In the approach of business development combined with poverty alleviation, the design of products for the BOP plays an important role. There is an urgent need to develop an understanding of the process of designing products for the BOP. Requirem

This biography of Severus, the patriarch of Antioch 521-518 AD, gives unique information about life in the Mediterranean region at the end of the 5th century. It is an important source for studies on Late Antiquity and the early History of CHristianity. In spite of the wealth of information that this text conveys, Zachariah's Life of Severus has not been available in English translation until now.

Abstract in Danish BACHELORPROJEKTER INDEN FOR DET SUNDHEDSFAGLIGE OMRÅDE – INDBLIK I VIDENSKABELIGE METODER er et kalajdoskopisk blik ind i en række udvalgte metoder, der kan fungere som en øjenåbner for muligheder, praktiske metodiske guidelines, ledetråde og greb samt anvisninger til anden relevant litteratur til yderligere fordybelse i de konkrete metoder.

New calorimetric methods for direct measurement of solubility and solvent activity are presented. The classical role of calorimetry for measurements of enthalpic parameters is abandoned and the technique is instead used for assessing thermodynamic quantities related to the chemical potential of a substance in a solution. Isothermal calorimetry is here employed as a general analytical method where
