The future electron-ion (eA) collider is expected to probe the high energy regime of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD), with the exclusive vector meson production cross section being one of the most promising observables. In this paper we complement previous studies of exclusive processes presenting a comprehensive analysis of diffractive ρ production at small x. We compute the coherent and incoher
What explains the gender gap in ideology, i.e. the observation that women tend to be more leftist than men? We provide new evidence showing that personality traits play a key role. Using a novel high-quality data set, we show that the mediating (i.e. indirect) effects of gender operating through personality traits by far dominate the direct effects of gender. They also dominate other potential dif
Offentlig upphandling spelar en central roll i samhällsplanering och stadsomvandlingsprojekt, där möjligheten att integrera hållbarhetshänsyn har kommit att uppmärksammas alltmer under de senaste decennierna. Bakgrunden till denna rapport härstammar ur projektet ”Samverkan och hållbarhetshänsyn i bygginköpsprocessen”, finansierat av Formas (Forskningsrådet för miljö, areella näringar
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) ability impairment in newly arrived Danish asylum seekers. It was hypothesized that exposure to trauma and torture would negatively influence ADL performance and that measures of ADL ability would be lower in individuals exposed to torture as compared to the non-tortured.SUBJECTS: Forty-three newly arri
Environmental loads from the building and its services must be minimised. The study aims to determine material quantities, manufacturing energy and how material choice affect manufacturing energy. An inventory of materials in domestic water, waste water, space heating and ventilation services are made and manufacturing energy are calculated based on LCA’s. Finally energy need for alternative mater
Municipal wastewater treatment involves mechanical, biological and chemical treatment steps for protecting the environment from adverse effects. The biological treatment step consumes the most energy and can create greenhouse gases. This study investigates municipal wastewater treatment without the biological treatment step, including the effects of different pretreatment configurations, for examp
Min avhandling handlar om hur barns medfödda temperamentsegenskaper påverkar deras risktagande. Temperamentsegenskaper antas avspegla aktiviteten i biologiskt nedärvda motivationssystem. Aktiviteten i dessa avgör hur snabbt, hur starkt och hur länge vi kommer att reagera i olika situationer. I vår första studie ville vi studera psykometriska egenskaper hos det frågeformulär vi avsåg att använda i This thesis concerns temperamental qualities and their influence on risk-taking behavior during middle childhood (7–11 years of age). Contemporary research generally agrees upon the notion that temperament constitutes two motivational systems, sensitive to punishment and reward respectively, together with a third system that is responsible for regulating the motivational systems. Risk-taking is ge
Chemical potentials of quaternary liquid alloys are required for theoretical description of the composition and crystal structure of Au-catalyzed ternary III-V nanowires. However, such data are solely missing in the literature. Herein, we use a thermodynamic database for the quaternary Au-In-Ga-As system that has been developed using the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) method. We present th
Patients pretreated with ticagrelor with less than 1 hour from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or receiving ticagrelor in cath lab were prospectively included and received cangrelor. Cangrelor was infused for 2 hours and platelet function was assessed as P2Y12 reactivity units (PRU) with the VerifyNow P2Y12 function assay before start of infusion, 15 min after the start of infusion, and 3
Amyloid-β (Aβ) is a 39-42 residue protein produced by the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), which subsequently aggregates to form cross-β amyloid fibrils that are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The most prominent forms of Aβ are Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42, which differ by two amino acids (I and A) at the C-terminus. However, Aβ42 is more neurotoxic and essential to the etiology of A
This paper investigates the relation between organizational change and enacted or experienced workplace bullying. We find that there is a longitudinal relation between organizational change and bullying behaviour and that this effect varies depending on the type of preceding organizational change (task-related or relational change). Task-related change predicts experienced bullying behaviours and
Genome-wide association studies have identified several risk loci for multiple myeloma (MM); however, the mechanisms by which they influence MM are unknown. Here by using genetic association data and functional characterization, we demonstrate that rs4487645 G>T, the most highly associated variant (P = 5.30 × 10-25), resides in an enhancer element 47 kb upstream of the transcription start site of
Orchid species are critically dependent on mycorrhizal fungi for completion of their life cycle, particularly during the early stages of their development when nutritional resources are scarce. As such, orchid mycorrhizal fungi play an important role in the population dynamics, abundance, and spatial distribution of orchid species. However, less is known about the ecology and distribution of orchi
Abstract: We demonstrate an all-optical Raman spin echo technique, using electromagneticallyinduced transparency (EIT) to create the pulses required for a spin echo sequence:initialization, pi-rotation, and readout. The first pulse of the sequence inducescoherence directly from a mixed state, and the technique is used to measure the nuclearspin coherence of an inhomogeneously broadened ensemble of
We present the PalCom Object Notation, a textual data representation format for communication between internet of things which support binary and textual data. The format does not require parsing of user data (or the “payload”) and is thus efficient to use also for large binary values such as digital images, audio and video as well as for short textual values. These can be mixed in the same messag
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to present numerical investigation of the gas/vapor bubble dynamics under the influence of an ultrasonic field to give a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon and present new results Design/methodology/approach - In order to formulate the mathematical model, a set of governing equations for the gas inside the bubble and the liquid surrounding it
There are few studies on how social workers deal with cases regarding transnational surrogacy. Our study intends to contribute to filling this gap. In Sweden, surrogacy as an assisted reproductive technology method is not permitted. As a result, many prospective parents have turned abroad, mainly to India, for surrogacy. There are no laws regulating surrogacy in Sweden, and difficulties have arise
