A detailed mapping of the dominant kinematical domains contributing to the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux at high neutrino energies is presented by studying their sensitivity to the cuts on several kinematical variables crucial for charm production in cosmic ray scattering in the atmosphere. This includes the maximal center-of-mass energy for proton-proton scattering, the longitudinal momentum f
The last decade has seen a sharp increase in the number of scientific publications describing physiological and pathological functions of extracellular vesicles (EVs), a collective term covering various subtypes of cell-released, membranous structures, called exosomes, microvesicles, microparticles, ectosomes, oncosomes, apoptotic bodies, and many other names. However, specific issues arise when w
Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex disease with variable presentations, course and prognosis. We sought to develop evidence-based recommendations addressing the major issues in the management of SLE. Methods: The EULAR Task Force on SLE comprised 19 specialists and a clinical epidemiologist. Key questions for the management of SLE were compiled using the Delphi technique. A
In this study doctoral students in psychology and social anthropology/ethnology were interviewed as to their selection of research problem for their Ph.D. thesis. From the perspective of activity theory it is suggested that the research problem can profitably be seen as the object of activity in research. Graduate students’ selection of a research problem was analyzed as a process occurring over t
A shipyards' right of retention is somewhat of a phenomenon, enabling the shipyard to retain property and secure credit accordingly. The right of retention has a character that is similar to a so-called legal lien. The current regulation in the MC governing retention has its roots in the 1967 Convention on Maritime Liens and Mortgages. There are several kinds of retention rights. The one prima
This article deals with the active safety of a automobile and how to make use of microwave radar sensor to detect and anticipate a threat in the sensor’s field of vision.
Using the protection for exporters theory the thesis analyzes the EU’s quest for world markets in the case of trade negotiations with Singapore. The protection for exporters theory assumes governments to shift bias from the import competing sector to the export competing sector when exporters are exposed to potential losses. The thesis concludes three main findings of why the EU shifted policy tow
This paper consists of a case study of the recent relative success of the populist radical right-wing party, the Sweden Democrats, in the municipality of Malmo in the southern region of Scania in Sweden. Seven explanatory factors behind radical right-wing party success in Western Europe were selected to be analyzed as they applied to this case. The chosen economic explanatory factors were; post-in
This thesis considers the extent to which Member States may be authorized under Community law to restrict the reach of their charitable tax incentives. The limits that can be imposed by Member States in setting objectives for charitable tax incentives that are tied to nationality or domestic territory have not been clarified. Finally, this thesis assesses whether the tax incentives provided for ch
The purpose of this study is to conceptualize the practice of knowledge rhetoric in knowledge-intensive firms (KIFs). The methodology applied to this qualitative study is based on the principles of a social constructivist paradigm. Document analysis in turn, with a multi-leveled Key Words In Context (KWIC) technique, was applied in analyzing the source material. The source material consists of the
By studying the responses to the last expulsion for "apostasy" from the Swedish National Church in 1858, this article examines how an international Protestant identity was constructed in mid-nineteenth-century Europe. It is the argument of this study that a comprehensive identity - including both evangelicals and theological progressives - could be built around the notion of religious liberty. The
Assessment of the fire behaviour of sandwich panels is continuously under discussion. The fire behaviour of these panels is a combination of material characteristics such as the core material and mechanical behaviour of the panels such as joints, dilations etc. The use of small or intermediate scale tests can be questioned for such types of products. Within the proposed European product standard
Inom svensk arbetsrätt är (SFS 1982:80) lagen om anställningsskydd den centrala lagstiftningen som reglerar anställningsform och hur en uppsägning får ske. Arbetstagaren har turordningsreglerna i 22§ Lag om anställningsskydd som skydd och i det anciennitetsprincipen (senioritetsprincipen), då arbetsgivaren anfört arbetsbrist inom verksamheten som uppsägningsskäl. Turordningsreglerna har varit In Swedish labor law (SFS 1982: 80), the Employment Protection Act is the central legislation that regulates the form of employment and how a termination may take place. The employee has the rules of priority in section 22 of the Employment Protection Act as protection and in the seniority principle, when the employer cites lack of work as a reason for termination. The rules of priority have been
Den ryska invasionen av Ukraina har orsakat ofattbart mänskligt lidande och har destabiliserat den europeiska säkerhetsordningen. I gengäld har världsledare och internationella organisationer krävt att den ryska aggressionen beivras. Den rättsvetenskapliga debatten om lämpliga åtgärder för att säkerställa straffrättsligt ansvar för aggressionsbrottet har emellertid uppvisat stor oenighet bland forThe Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought immense suffering to the Ukrainian people and has destabilised the European security order. In response, world leaders and international organisations have called for the prosecution of the Russian aggression. However, the scholarly debate on the appropriate measures to ensure criminal accountability for the crime of aggression has demonstrated widesprea
Climate-related security risks (CRSR) have risen on the foreign policy agenda of the European Union (EU). As climate change accelerates, its impacts exacerbate existing social, economic, and environmental challenges within and between communities and increase the likelihood of states experiencing humanitarian crises and conflict. These so-called climate-related security risks (CRSR), or climate-se
Digitalisation and its effect on the circular economy have been a major debate. Thus, this study investigates the possible contributions of Digital Business Models (DBMs) toward the Circular Economy (CE) by utilising circular economy core values through its multiple dimensions. Following a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants in the retail sector.
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur den amerikanska ockupationen påverkade den japanska filmen i allmänhet, och Akira Kurosawas (1910-1998) produktion under denna tidsperiod i synnerhet. För att uppnå detta skisserar jag en översiktlig och lättillgänglig bild av den japanska filmhistorien, från dess tidigaste skede fram till 1952, vilken jag hoppas kan fungera som en historisk fond. Vad
Implementation of the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), a political tool intended to increase investment in renewable energy, has become increasingly common in the early 21st century. RPS policies require that a certain amount, or percentage, of electricity in a providers electricity supply mix is generated from renewable energy sources. The distribution of renewable energy generation capacity d
