A phenomenological study of the isolated photon production in high energy pp and pA collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is performed. Using the color dipole approach we investigate the production cross section differential in the transverse momentum of the photon considering three different phenomenological models for the universal dipole cross section. We also present the predictions for the rapi
Background: Despite the mutual benefit of the industry-academia partnership, the level of joint work is still low. For this reason, the interest in connecting research and practice has increased recently in the academic community. Objective: This research aims to design and apply approaches to improve the knowledge exchange between academic researchers and software engineering practitioners. Metho
Riverine colloids are important carriers of macronutrients, trace metals, and pollutants into marine waters. The aim of the current study was to extend the understanding of iron (Fe) and organic carbon (OC) colloids in boreal rivers and their fate at higher salinities. X-ray absorbance spectroscopy (XAS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were combined to explore Fe speciation and colloidal charac
The present invention relates to a non-fermented composition having the ability to increase the formation of butyric acid in the colon and comprising at least one cereal based fraction and at least one isolated probiotic strain of Lactobacillus as well as the use of said non-fermented composition as a synbiotic and for treatment of the metabolic syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohns disease, Irrita
The individual failure of nation states to combat crime (in particular transnational crime) has led to the adoption of international, regional and bilateral legal frameworks for police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters between states. It is widely recognized that transnational criminal activities weaken the ability of states to maintain security within their own boundaries. Yet whilst t
This open access book seeks to understand how politics is being made in a pluralistic sense, and explores how these political struggles are challenging and transforming gender, sexuality, and colonial norms. As researchers located in Sweden, a nation often cited as one of the most gender-equal and LGBTQ-tolerant nations, the contributions investigate political processes, decolonial struggles, and
This article provides an analysis of how the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union is going to impact on EU criminal procedural laws. From the EU’s perspective, the loss of a “critical” partner may lead to more harmonised cooperation between the remaining Member States and thus less intergovernmental features in this area in the long term. More crucially however, the future relationship between
The study investigates explicit and implicit knowledge of article semantics in 26 second language learners of English. Their first languages, Russian and Belarusian, lack articles. The research question is whether explicit knowledge, operationalised as an ability to explain what principle governs the choice between the definite and the indefinite article in a multiple-choice test, is associated wiThe study investigates explicit and implicit knowledge of article semantics in 26 second language learners of English.

The Common European Framework of Reference has stimulated research on the relation between linguistic competence and communicative competence. Such studies have often used linguistic measures from the Complexity-Accuracy-Fluency (CAF) paradigm to objectively tap into the linguistic competence of language learners; others have used Processability Theory. This study contributes to this research by m
An increased focus on sustainability and initiatives towards green supply chains raises new challenges for efficient inventory control. This doctoral thesis addresses the consequences some of these initiatives have on the modelling of inventory systems and the resulting policy variables. The overall research objective for the doctoral thesis can be stated as:To design mathematical models for evalu
