The presence or absence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) at the centre of Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) is still an open question. This is due to either observational restrictions or limitations in the dynamical modelling method; in this work, we explore the latter. Using a sample of high-end Monte Carlo simulations of GCs, with and without a central IMBH, we study the limitations of s

This dissertation defines a number of new concepts, such as pop-up mosque, social media adhan, non-Muslim Islam, and warping, to give a detailed description how the Mariam Mosque (with female imams) was established and the kind of phenomenon it is. The latter concept (warping) plays an important role as the dissertation argues that, while Islams may be presented in a certain way, obeying rules suc

Innovation strategies in complementary product markets come with a dilemma: Platform sponsors must concede third parties autonomy to innovate to make a platform successful, but a platform sponsor must also participate in the complementary product market to make the platform grow, thus acting as a competitor to third parties. We examine the performance outcomes of four innovation strategies based u

Under mitt dryga år som doktorand i processrätt på juridiska fakulteten vidLunds universitet har frågor om i vilken turordning en domstol ska pröva olika faktapåståenden inom ramen för ett dispositivt tvistemål uppkommit förvånansvärt ofta. Vid diskussioner med domare, advokater och akademiker har åsikterna inte alltid varit samstämmiga och när jag hänvisat till vad vi inom processrätten kallar de

Thefirst reported applications of laser sheet imaging for the study of atomizing sprays date from the mid 1980th.Since those early tries, blurring effects from the light being scattered multiple times by the surrounding dropletswere already observed and reported. While s trategies in suppressing part of this multiple light scatteringcontribution, were known for transmission imaging (e. spatial Fou

We demonstrate the use of Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopic (LSFM) imaging for viewing the dynamic of atomizing sprays with high contrast and resolution. The technique presents several advantages: first liquid fluorescence gives a more faithful representation of the structure of liquid bodies, droplets and ligaments than Mie scattering does. The reason for this is that the signal is emitted by

This paper reports on the first realization of two-phase SLIPI (Structured Laser Illumination Planar Imaging) in combination with LIF/Mie ratio imaging for a single shot mapping of relative SMD (Sauter Mean Diameter) in a transient fuel spray. The technique is applied to a non-combusting multi-jet DISI (direct-injection spark-ignition) spray of ethanol fuel injected into an optically accessible co

Äldreboenden har traditionellt uppfattats som dystra platser. Livet på äldreboenden har skildrats i termer av isolering och passivitet, och själva platsen har beskrivits som ’dödens väntrum’. Krav på organisatorisk förbättring, ökad insyn och styrning har framförts i media och i den allmänna debatten. Under senare år har ökad marknadisering, granskning och medialisering förändrat villkoren i de svThe general perception of Swedish nursing homes has historically been gloomy. Nursing homes have been associated with a passive, isolated, and institutionalised ‘fourth age’ life. Media reports and the public debate have largely stressed the need for organisational improvements, and called for transparency and control. In recent years, marketisation, audits, and mediatisation have become new condi

This paper presents a critical literature review of academic articles that analyze the role of formal and informal institutions in entrepreneurial ecosystems. It discusses which types of formal and informal institutions matter for the development of ecosystems, highlighting the importance of considering the specific type of legal system of the country in which they develop, i.e. its legal origin (

Gain of function LRRK2-G2019S is the most frequent mutation found in familial and sporadic Parkinson's disease. It is expected therefore that understanding the cellular function of LRRK2 will provide insight on the pathological mechanism not only of inherited Parkinson's, but also of sporadic Parkinson's, the more common form. Here, we show that constitutive LRRK2 activity controls nascent protein

Objectives: This study compared the osseointegrative potential of a novel injection molded zirconia dental implant (Neodent Zi ceramic implant, test) and a commercially available titanium implant (Neodent Alvim implant, control) in terms of histomorphometrically derived bone-to-implant contact (BIC), first bone-to-implant contact (fBIC), and the ratio of bone area to total area (BATA) around the i

Background: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have demonstrated that basal ganglia functional connectivity is altered in Parkinson's disease (PD) as compared to healthy controls. However, such functional connectivity alterations have not been related to the dopaminergic deficits that occurs in PD over time. Objectives: To examine whether functional connectivity imp
