Kvantelektrodynamik beskriver den elektromagnetiska kraften mellan elektroner och protoner, och är en av fysikens mest lyckade teorier. Till skillnad från elektroner, så är protoner inte fundamentala partiklar, utan de är uppbyggda av mindre partiklar som kallas för kvarkar. Kvarkarna inuti protonen binds inte ihop av den elektromagnetiska kraften, utan istället genom en annan kraft som kallas föWe use lattice QCD data to perform a fit of the pion and kaon mass and decay constant to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in three-flavor Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). To improve our fits, we make use of finite volume corrections at both one- and two-loop order. This turns out to provide a small but noticeable improvement of our fits. Our fits see a significant improvement with the inclus

From a large body of literature, it is well known that higher education associates with better health. This is true both for health in general, but also for more specific diseases like Alzheimer’s. However, the question of whether the link between years of education and dementia is causal or not

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the community meals as an identity shaping process in Paul’s ekklēsiai. The research question is as follows: In which ways do meals form an identity, community, and equality in Paul’s ekklēsia at Corinth and Galatia, in the light of the Greco-Roman banquet tradition and the Apostolic Decree?

How is it that individuals can be free whilst also part of a larger context that determines their actions? This study aims to make a small contribution towards solving this conundrum. It departs from the theories of Habermas, Arendt and Machiavelli, and ventures into an archival study of

Distansarbetet har inneburit en förändring av arbetslivet. Då distansarbetet till stor del sker hemifrån resulterar det i att arbetssfären (första skiftet) och icke-arbetssfären i form av hushållsarbete (andra skiftet) integreras allt mer. Tidigare forskning påvisar att kvinnor upplever ett ansvar över både hushållsarbetet samt planerandet av detta (tredje skiftet), vilket i sin tur påverkar deras

Det är förbjudet för en arbetsgivare att utsätta en arbetstagare, arbetssökande etc. för diskriminering eller repressalier i samband med personens sexuella läggning. Detta framkommer både i EU-rätten och i den nationella rätten. Sexuell läggning definieras i diskrimineringslagen som “homosexuell, bisexuell eller heterosexuell läggning”. Definitionen togs fram till den tidigare lagen (1999:133) om It is forbidden for an employer to expose an employee, jobseeker, etc. to discrimination or retaliation in connection with the person's sexual orientation. This is reflected in both EU law and national law. Sexual orientation is defined in the Discrimination Act as "homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual orientation". The definition was developed in the previous law (1999: 133) on the
