Associative ionizing molecule-atom collisions Na-2(A(1) Sigma(u)(+)) + Na(3p) --> Na-3(+) + e have been observed at simultaneous excitation of dimers and atoms by means of two lasers. Measurements of the relevant ionization current show that the cross section of molecule-atom ionizing collisions exceeds by an order of magnitude the cross section of the well-known atom-atom associative ionization N

När gränsöverskridande transaktioner företas på Internet kan frågor uppkomma rörande domstolars behörighet och vilket lands lag som är tillämplig. På vilket sätt bör de etablerade internationellt privaträttsliga reglerna tillämpas för att ge svar på dessa frågor? I artikeln diskuteras frågorna med specifik utgångspunkt i de särskilda skyddsregler som är tänkta att i en större utsträckning ge konsu

There are a large number of fire scenarios at nuclear power plants that must be analysed to obtain a picture of the fire risk. This report presents a schematic method that can be useful when identifying areas where deeper analysis is necessary. The methodology is based on four possible scenarios. Accepted and generally used calculations methods are available for three of these scenarios. As for th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Centralt i avhandlingen är självbiografiskt minne och metaforer. Tre hypoteser framförs: (1) Den dikotomisering av deklarativa långtidsminnet som Tulving föreslagit är inte tillräcklig för att förklara självbiografiskt minne. Istället föreslås en alternativ modell där semantiskt och självbiografiskt minne överlappar varandra och där återupplevelseminnet uppfattas som enThe central topics of the thesis are autobiographical memory and metaphors. Three hypotheses are presented: (1) Autobiographical memory is better understood without dichotomizing the declarative (explicit) long-term memory system into semantic and episodic. An alternative model is proposed in which semantic and autobiographical memory are overlapping and the recollective memory is regarded as a me

This presentation argues that we seldom speak of our findings in qualitative research as serendipitous, although we have splendid possibilities to make surprising findings. In order to enhance the chances and sharpen our analyses we have to read broadly but also pay attention to details in our data. We should avoid societal or scholarly conventionality, even be disobedient to recommendations, if t

In the broader spectrum of back pain, inflammatory back pain (IBP) is a symptom that may indicate axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of current IBP, as a hallmark sign of possible axial SpA, in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and other SpA and to compare self-reported health between the groups with curren

The European Employment Strategy and the Destandardisation of Employment Relations: The German Case (English title) Abstract: ‘Non-standard’ employment reflects a continuum of work and employment situations, ranging from well-paid and secure occupations to precarious employment. The paper first identifies both standardisation and de-standardisation processes of work and employment by building o
