Search for pair-produced scalar and vector leptoquarks decaying into third-generation quarks and first- or second-generation leptons in pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for pair-produced scalar and vector leptoquarks decaying into quarks and leptons of different generations is presented. It uses the full LHC Run 2 (2015–2018) data set of 139 fb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV. Scalar leptoquarks with charge −(1/3)e as well as scalar and vector leptoquarks with charge +(2/3)e are con

A S/He story of Western improvisation

I have come to notice that the outcomes of the dialogue with the audience is crucial for the improvisational communication between me and the pianist in Impromans, Conny Antonov. This has very much to do with the room of the performance, and its implicated expectations and discourses. As improvisation is very dependent on the context of the room, Antonov and I decided to explore performing in a mo

Elizabeth L. Eisenstein (1979) : The Printing Press as an Agent of Change

The chapter focuses on a foundational text in the fields of media and communication history, book history, and print culture studies: Elizabeth L. Eisenstein’s comprehensive two-volume work, The Printing Press as an Agent of Change, first published in 1979. Apart from outlining Eisenstein’s key perspectives, arguments, and findings, the chapter brings up the historical and scholarly context in whi

Ultrafine particle emissions from dry clutches : number concentration, size distribution and chemical composition

Non-exhaust sources, such as brakes, tyres, roads, and clutches, emit a large portion of airborne particles in road transportation, from ultrafine to coarse sizes. While airborne wear particle emissions from brakes and road-tyre contacts have been studied extensively, emissions from clutches have been overlooked. A preliminary study using a novel test rig has indicated that dry clutches also emit

The Orthodox Woman : Jerome on the Relation Between Asceticism, Orthodoxy, and Gender

While previous scholarship has shown that the rhetorical figure of the "heretical woman"was important in Jerome's slandering of male rivals, this article argues that the "orthodox woman"played a just as important role in his self-presentation as an orthodox teacher. The "orthodox woman"is characterized by true asceticism which, according to Jerome's ascetic theology, implies that she transcends he

Interspecific competition affects spore germination and gametophore development of mosses

Background: Interactions between moss species in their earliest growth stages have received little attention. To what extent interspecific competition or priority effects influence spore germination, protonemal development and gametophore emergence is unknown. We evaluated such effects in pairwise interaction between six common bryophyte species: Atrichum undulatum, Bryum argenteum, Ceratodon purp

M giants with IGRINS : II. Chemical evolution of fluorine at high metallicities

Context. The origin and evolution of fluorine in the Milky Way Galaxy is still under debate. In particular, the increase in the [F/Fe] in metal-rich stars found from near-IR HF lines is challenging to explain theoretically. Chemical evolution models with current knowledge of yields from different fluorine-producing stellar sources cannot reproduce these observations.Aims. The aim of this work is t

L1-orienterad grammatikundervisning i L2-kontext : En kvalitativ studie

Artikeln beskriver hur en grammatikdidaktisk modell utformad för en L1-kontext kan användas för grammatikundervisning såväl som för ett språk- och skrivutvecklande arbete i en L2-kontext. Eftersom klassrummen i Sverige, Danmark och Norge allt mer blir språkligt heterogena behöver lärare kunna erbjuda en språkutvecklande under-visning för elever med skilda språkliga förutsättningar. Den modell som The article shows how a grammar-didactic model designed for an L1 context can be used for grammar learning as well as language and writing development in an L2 con-text. Because classrooms in Sweden, Denmark and Norway are becoming increasingly heterogenous, teachers must be able to develop the language of pupils with differing linguistic predispositions. The model that is being proposed is design

What Sex Workers Do : Associations Between the Exchange of Sexual Services for Payment and Sexual Activities

This study investigates people’s associations between the exchange of sexual services for payment and different sexual activities. Sex work entails a range of activities, from in person services to online performances. To date, no study has asked about the activities individuals associate with the exchange of sexual services for payment. The relationship between the exchange of sexual services for

Reduced long-term mortality after successful resective epilepsy surgery : A population-based study

Background: We investigated all-cause and epilepsy-related mortality in patients operated with resective epilepsy surgery and in non-operated patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Our hypothesis was that patients who proceed to surgery have lower mortality over time compared with non-operated patients. Method: Data from 1329 adults and children from the Swedish National Epilepsy Surgery Register

An Economics of Deep Transformations

A wide range of literatures have identified the capitalist organisation of societies, and the capitalist growth imperative central to this organisation, as the root cause of the catastrophic climate and biodiversity crises. Highlighting the need to break with this imperative, a growing community of scholars generally viewed as anti- and postcapitalist, there is no consensus on how precisely to con

Improved detection of clinically relevant fusion transcripts in cancer by machine learning classification

BACKGROUND: Genomic rearrangements in cancer cells can create fusion genes that encode chimeric proteins or alter the expression of coding and non-coding RNAs. In some cancer types, fusions involving specific kinases are used as targets for therapy. Fusion genes can be detected by whole genome sequencing (WGS) and targeted fusion panels, but RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) has the advantageous capability

The role of the Sustainable Development Goals for better governance of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

The discussion on the Anthropocene has increased the urgency to promote a sustainable society, considering the planetary boundaries, population growth and resource scarcity. Thus, the United Nations created the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to address this challenge, including 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 SDG targets. In this context, the energy sector is one of the ma

At the frontlines of implementing the right to a healthy environment : Understanding human rights and environmental due diligence in relation to armed conflicts

Potential harm to human rights and the environment, including by corporate actors, is amplified in situations of conflict. This article focuses on applying the right to a healthy environment in relation to armed conflicts and corporate responsibility. In particular, it analyzes and compares due diligence requirements in the European Union Conflict Minerals Regulation and the International Law Comm

Personality and place as resources for regional development : Alfred Nobel’s Karlskoga

In ‘Alfred Nobel’s Karlskoga’, Sweden, the municipality has placed its most famous former resident at the heart of its economic development strategy. Through an in-depth qualitative case study, we examine the tensions and complexities surrounding this process and fill an existing research gap around personality-based place branding for regional development purposes. The findings suggest that even

Cervical cancer in Region Skåne, Sweden 2017–2020 after the implementation of primary HPV screening : A quality assurance audit

Introduction: Primary human papilloma virus (HPV) screening to detect cervical cancer and dysplastic lesions was implemented in Region Skåne 2017 for women aged 30–70. The aim of this study was to characterize the screening history of women diagnosed with cervical cancer to evaluate the performance of the screening program, as well as to assess the cancer treatments given and shortcomings in the f

Camera-based automated monitoring of flying insects (Camfi). I. Field and computational methods

The ability to measure flying insect activity and abundance is important for ecologists, conservationists and agronomists alike. However, existing methods are laborious and produce data with low temporal resolution (e.g. trapping and direct observation), or are expensive, technically complex, and require vehicle access to field sites (e.g. radar and lidar entomology). We propose a method called “C
