We discuss how especially the alignment and the shape polarisation of specific orbitals influence the transition energies in superdeformed bands. The very similar transition energies observed recently in neighbouring nuclei can be qualitatively understood in our approach and the special properties of high-N orbits can be analysed in the same formalism.

Lifetime measurements for the isotopes 155Dy and 156Dy have been extended up to spins around 40h{stroke} by the Doppler shift attenuation method in conjunction with γ-γ-coincidence measurements. Results have been obtained for the yrast band in 156Dy and for three bands in 155Dy. Strong retardations of the E2-strengt were observed for intruding terminating sequences, for which specific single parti

The potential of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) is currently explored in the world. SMRs as technology is still under development but is introduced to the public. In this stage, when much is still uncertain and unknown, media is important. The benefits and risks related to this new technology articulated in media potentially shape different actors' expectations and attitudes towards the technology.

Unga människors vardagsliv, kunskaper och framtidsutsikter formas av förutsättningarna där de bor och skiljer sig åt mellan stad och land. Villkoren där de bor och skiljer sig åt mellan land och stad. Villkoren kan också se helt olika ut i skilda landsbygder. Länge har forskningen om livsvillkoren för barn och unga fokuserat på större städer, men under senare tid har förutsättningarna för unga i s

It is shown that the observed transition energies in the superdeformed bands of 148Gd and 146Gd and the two bands of 147Gd are related by a simple linear expression. This is another indication of the remarkable stability of the superdeformed bands and strongly suggests that only two orbitals are active. The relative properties are analysed in terms of the (effective) aligned spin brought in by spe

The yrast band of118Xe has been extended up to tentatively Iπ = 34+ in a heavy-ion in-beam γ-spectroscopic study using the NORDBALL detector array. A band crossing is observed at the highest spins and interpreted within the Modified Oscillator Model as a transition to a terminating band.

We reply to the preceding Comment.

Detailed spectroscopic studies of the discrete γ-rays feeding and deexciting a 41 2-, 4.6 MeV level in 191Hg are reported. The resulting decay scheme indicates single-particle nature for the states above the 41 2- level. At moderate spin, the corresponding particle alignment mode competes favorably with collective oblate rotation. It is suggested that this sequence is associated with a non-collect

The experimental hindrance factors determined from the fine structure in the C14 decay of Ra223 are strikingly similar to the hindrance factors observed in the alpha decay of odd-A reflection-asymmetric deformed nuclei in spite of the deformed to spherical shape which occurs in the C14 decay. Calculations of the overlap between the reflection-asymmetric ground state of Ra223 and the spherical shel

Excitation energies and branching ratios in 125Xe have been correctly described by using the triaxial rotor plus particle model with deformation parameter ε{lunate}=0.25 and γ=24°. The observed properties, in particular the degeneracy of the yrast favoured and unfavored bands and the signature inversion in the yrare bands are well described by the model. The distribution of core states in the wave

Communicating in the Face of Global Crises explores the complex ways organizations and their strategic practices are communicatively constituted in relation to the ethical expectations of global publics. Positioning organizational strategies as communicative accomplishments, an international team of authors redirect attention to the important role of communication in constituting responses to glob

This chapter examines how multinational corporations communicatively navigate moral responsibility during geopolitical crises, focusing on the war in Ukraine. As corporations increasingly are expected to engage with social and political issues, their actions, or inactions, are interpreted as moral stances. We contend that a feminist ethics of care offers a compelling approach through which to unde

In an increasingly interconnected and digitalized global world, organizations are confronted with a growing range of complex crises. The COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, environmental disasters resulting from climate change, global financial crises, and misinformation campaigns are just some of the contemporary global developments presenting significant organizing challenges. Positioned at t

The aim of this study was to examine how school counsellors experienced and managed the circumstances of developing trustworthy relationships with pupils, while considering the obligation to report. We conducted six semistructured interviews consisting of school counsellors from diverse schools in the southern part of Sweden. The results are presented in three main themes, upon which the first the
