Aims. We present line identifications in the 1700 to 10 400 angstrom region for the Weigelt blobs B and D, located 0.'' 1 to 0 ''.3 NNW of Eta Carinae. The aim of this work is to characterize the behavior of these luminous, dense gas blobs in response to the broad highstate and the short low-state of. Carinae during its 5.54-year spectroscopic period. Methods. The spectra were recorded in a low st

The need for higher education is becoming increasingly important in the globalized world, even for developing countries. The ability of countries to create, acquire, and apply technology depends greatly on the skill of the labor force. By internalizing the feely available technology of the world African economies will potentially catch up. However, the limitations of the quality and quantity of hi

One possible symptom of deficiency of folic acid (folate) or vitamin B 12 (cobalamin) is impaired cognition. Status of these two B-vitamins have been linked to cognitive performance also in various populations of subjects with no evident clinical deficiency (for example in "healthy elderly"). The present study investigated 60 nondemented patients (mean age 58 years) presented with mild c

“Pattern beings” deals with decoration, ornaments and patterns as omnipresent beings around us. Despite the fact that modernism tried to exclude decoration from our existence (headed by Adolf Loos’s Ornament and Crime essay), I was brought to this topic by repeated tendencies to decorate and adorn objects for daily use. “Pattern beings” is also about searching for relations between the object, mat

The purpose of this paper was to describe and analyse why some people abuse anabolic steroids and through that increase the understanding for this problem. · Why do some people choose to begin with anabolic steroids? · Where does the first contact with the drug take place? · How does the users affect by anabolic steroids? · Is it possible to be addicted to anabolic steroids? The paper was drawn fr

This paper is a report from a Minor Field Study conducted in Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras. I conducted semi-structured interviews with women subjected to domestic violence with the objective of finding out and highlighting their view on the problem of domestic violence, the Law against Domestic Violence and the institutions connected to it. I further conducted interviews with different profession

The purpose of this essay was to examine how eight persons described their fathers, out of qualities, function and role. We also wanted to find out how they described their idealfather. Second the purpose was to compare the experience from two groups of respondents. Four of the respondents had grown up with a biological father and the other four with a non-biological father. Were there any differe

The North Korean policy of nuclear weapons has always constituted a puzzle for political scientists, media analysts and politicians. The inconsistency permeating this policy area makes it particularly hard to grasp. The aim of this case study is to enhance the cumulative knowledge of the North Korean policy of nuclear weapons by applying three theories of international relations: Realism, construc

The aim of this study is to highlight men who have experienced sexual violence. The study is based on an examination on what help there is available for men who have experienced sexual violence and why there seems to be a bigger resistance from men, rather than from women, to report to the police and seek help after their experiences. By interviewing four professionals who works in organisations w

The purpose of this essay is to describe H&M's Corporate Social Responsibility reports from 2002 and 2012 and their views on CSR.

In this thesis a framework for real-time model predictive control has been developed for JModelica.org, which is an open-source platform for simulation and analysis of dynamical systems. Model predictive control (MPC) is an advanced optimizationbased control method that uses a model of the process being controlled to optimize control. The framework was tested on three different processes, real and

Marine and salt marsh sediments contain large amounts of organic carbon (OC) and are therefore important in the global carbon cycle. Here, we collated previously published and unpublished measurements of sediment OC in marine and salt marsh sediments in European regional seas (EURO-CARBON; available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14905489). To the extent possible the OC data were complemented b

Additionally, we compared the consumption of various food groups in relation to iron status.METHODS: Data were collected from 475 female high school students in Malmö and Lund, Sweden, using questionnaires on di

Superconductor-semiconductor hybrid systems play a crucial role in realizing nanoscale quantum devices, including hybrid qubits, Majorana bound states, and Kitaev chains. For such hybrid devices, subgap states play a prominent role in their operation. In this paper, we study these subgap states via Coulomb and tunneling spectroscopy through a superconducting island defined in a semiconductor nanow
