This study investigates binomial consumer brand engagement (vs. advertising avoidance) in the social media context. Grounded in social exchange theory, the relationships between personalized advertising, information control, privacy concerns, advertising avoidance, and consumer brand engagement are analyzed by drawing on a survey comprising n = 429 participants. The findings reveal that personaliz
Photosensitizers for sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (sTTA-UC) often rely on precious heavy metals, whereas coordination complexes based on abundant first-row transition metals are less common. This is mainly because long-lived triplet excited states are more difficult to obtain for 3d metals, particularly when the d-subshell is only partially filled. Here, we report the first
Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common cause of death among people with HIV (PWH). PWH often have atypical clinical manifestations of TB, and TB disease can therefore be missed. Better screening markers could identify individuals with high likelihood of TB disease. Furthermore, the mechanisms underlying the immunopathogenesis of TB disease in PWH remain incompletely understood.This thesis is based o
We experimentally observe longer than long trajectory influence in high-order harmonic generation (HHG) by varying the peak intensity of the driving laser field either through direct attenuation or by chirping the laser pulse. Using a theoretical Gaussian beam model to simulate spatial interference resulting from quantum path interference, we show that the measured interference patterns cannot be
The self avoiding walk (SAW) model of the polymer has been extended to study the equilibrium properties of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) where two strands of the dsDNA are modeled by two mutually attracting self-avoiding walks (MASAWs) in the presence of an attractive surface. We study simultaneous adsorption and force induced melting transitions and explore different phases of DNA. It is observed t
We present state-of-the-art high-precision theory predictions for the dominant angular coefficients parametrizing the spin-correlations in the production and decay of a W-boson produced at transverse momentum larger than 30 GeV. The computation at NNLO QCD and NLO EW accuracy are combined to obtain differential distributions in the W-boson transverse momentum and rapidity. The found results show u
Implementing solar photovoltaic systems in the built environment (BEPV) is critical for the construction sector’s contribution to mitigating climate change. While previous studies give various insights into innovation implementation, the challenges to value co-creation by construction actors remain underexplored. By studying the alignment of business ecosystems implementing BEPV in the Swedish bui
Abstract in GermanDas Thema dieses Beitrags ist die Übersetzung deutscher Partizipialkonstruktionen ins Schwedische – ein Thema, dem die bisherige Forschung kaum Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt hat. Die Studie ist sowohl quantitativer als auch qualitativer Natur. Als Korpus dienen deutsche Sachprosatexte und ihre schwedischen Übersetzungen, von denen anzunehmen ist, dass sie im Einklang mit den entsprech
Over the past years, eosinophils have become a focus of scientific interest, especially in the context of their recently uncovered functions (e.g. antiviral, anti-inflammatory, regulatory). These versatile cells display both beneficial and detrimental activities under various physiological and pathological conditions. Eosinophils are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases which can be class
The division between rural and urban values and practices is a classic theme in disciplines such as European ethnology. During the last decades, the urban/rural divide seem to be renegotiated. Traditional, small scale agriculture and food production encapsulates values on display at many dinner tables of the upper middle urban class. This has lead to new business opportunities for rural actors, of
This chapter is a case study of #Swedengate, a social media controversy evoked by the supposedly Swedish custom not to invite children's playmates to partake in the family dinner. The practice seems to be in direct confrontation with norms of commensality and reciprocity, and the chapter deals with the cultural context and implications of the practice. The empirical material is an open-ended quest
The stability of the human tendency to eat in groups is remarkable. We find it to be valued and mostly desirable across geographical locations, cultures, and historical time periods. Yet, there is a great deal of variety in how the practice is expressed, how individuals experience it, and how the sharing of meals is understood culturally. This chapter focuses on three facets of eating together tha
A search for light long-lived neutral particles with masses in the O(MeV–GeV) range is presented. The analysis targets the production of long-lived dark photons in the decay of a Higgs boson produced via gluon–gluon fusion or in association with a W boson. Events that contain displaced collimated Standard Model fermions reconstructed in the calorimeter or muon spectrometer are selected in 139 fb−1
