A spectrally and polarization-resolved wavefront detector can measure the spatio-temporal vector electric field of ultrashort laser pulses in a single shot.

One of the most interesting features of nuclei is the process by which specific configurations, manifest as collective rotational bands at intermediate spin values, gradually lose their collectivity and terminate in a non-collective state at the maximum spin which can be built within the configuration. Recent advances in both experiment and theory allow the study of this nuclear structure feature

The relative properties of smooth terminating bands observed in the A ∼ 110 mass region are studied within the effective alignment approach. Theoretical values of ieff are calculated using the configuration-dependent shell-correction model with the cranked Nilsson potential. Reasonable agreement with experiment shows that previous interpretations of these bands are consistent with the present stud

The properties of rotational bands in the A ∼ 110 (Z ≥ 50 N ∼ 56-65) mass region are investigated within the configuration-dependent shell-correction approach with the cranked Nilsson potential. It is shown that in nuclei with Z > 50, N < 60, smooth terminating bands based on two proton holes in the g9/2 subshell might be observed over a wide spin range up to termination. In the N > 60 nuclei, the

The literature on diversity has grown rapidly in the last decade. Research from different areas has suggested that diversity is a critical factor in creativity, knowledge generation, innovation, and entrepreneurship at the level of organizations, cities, regions, and whole countries. This chapter introduces the topic of diversity and discusses its role for creativity, knowledge production, innovat

This issue of Journal of Scandinavian Cinema demonstrates the methodological diversity characterizing contemporary cinema scholarship. Four contributions span from the archival reconstruction of a lost Swedish children’s film and a documentary on Bronze Age artworks to theoretical analyses of irony and environmentalim in Icelandic cinema and Finnish production paradoxes. Together, they reveal how

Background: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an increasingly recognised condition in children and adolescents. However, there is limited knowledge about the different paediatric patch test procedures in European patch test clinics. Objectives: To map current European paediatric patch test practices, and to relate these to the existing literature, with the aim of guiding the development of a fu

In an internet age when a viral sensationalist story gains far more traction than a nuanced and balanced discussion, we have become used to some politicians, media and web-based influencers bending the truth to create a misguided or distorted narrative that many people unquestioningly believe. This should never happen in science, but even here standards are sadly deteriorating. In my editorial I w

Based on data obtained with the Eurogam spectrometer, a systematic investigation of superdeformed bands built on single neutron excitations across the N = 86 shell gap has been carried out for gadolinium, terbium, and dysprosium isotopes with 85 ≤ N ≤ 87. In each nucleus, pairs of bands corresponding to degenerate signature partners have been observed. The effective alignment is constant and close

The model of technological cognition presented by Federico et al. does not specify how information is processed in and between the different hubs. Following Cisek’s proposal for an ‘ecological’ perspective on cognition, I discuss the role of affordances in action specification and action selection. Artifacts afford a multitude of action, but most of them must be learned. This involves learning new

Rapporten analyserar internationella erfarenheter av alternativa modeller för finansiering och organisering av transportinfrastruktur i ett urval av länder som liknar Sverige i institutionellt och geografiskt hänseende. Fokus ligger på offentlig–privat samverkan (OPS) och statliga projektbolag. Syftet är att identifiera vilka institutionella, ekonomiska och organisatoriska faktorer som påverkar ut

We argue that the subject matter and objectives of risk science establish it as an inherently interdisciplinary field, closely connected to both academic disciplines and practical applications. However, risk research faces a range of interdisciplinary challenges. These include the production of low-quality research—characterised by superficial and insufficiently grounded conclusions—a lack of mutu

While the development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in health care have literally exploded in recent years, general practitioners (GPs) continue to struggle with a fragmented health care system and complex patients with multiple conditions and increasing care needs. An ageing population, task shifting from secondary care to ambulatory services without adequate resource allocation, and po
