The future opportunities for high-density QCD studies with ion and proton beams at the LHC are presented. Four major scientific goals are identified: the characterisation of the macroscopic long wavelength Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) properties with unprecedented precision, the investigation of the microscopic parton dynamics underlying QGP properties, the development of a unified picture of particle

Protein HC, an extremely charge-heterogeneous lipocalin, carries a yellow-brown fluorescent chromophore of unknown structure covalently bound at an unidentified site of its polypeptide chain. Two chromophore-carrying peptides with 60% of the chromophore material (defined as material absorbing light at 330 nm) were isolated from pepsin-digested native human protein HC by reversed-phase high perform

Context. Positions and proper motions of Gaia sources are expressed in a reference frame that ideally should be non-rotating relative to distant extragalactic objects, coincident with the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS), and consistent across all magnitudes. For sources fainter than 16th magnitude, this is achieved through Gaia's direct observations of quasars. At brighter magnitud

This paper examines the Catalan identity as it is expressed by the president of Catalonia, Assemblea Nacional Catalana and Òmnium Cultural on the Catalan National Day on the 11th of September 2014. These Catalan personalities are striving for an independent Catalonia. The research is conducted by a narrative method and a visual method in order to be able to interpret the cultural expressions and s

Traditionellt produceras trähus högst i två våningar p.g.a. historiskt svårkontrollerade brän-der. Idag är byggtekniken utvecklad och det är tillåtet att bygga trähus i flera våningar. Andel trähus som byggs med prefabricerade delar ökar idag i Sverige. Genom att producera montagefärdiga element i varierande storlek förflyttas husproduktionen från byggarbetsplats till fabrik. Syftet med studien äTraditionally, wooden houses are produced with a maximum of two floors, due to historical difficulties to control fires. Today, construction technology is developed so far that it is con-sidered safe to build wooden houses with additional floors. The percentage of wooden houses built with prefabricated parts is increasing in Sweden today. By producing module elements in various sizes, house produc

På uppdrag av Räddningstjänsten Syd har vi genomfört denna fallstudie med syfte att beskriva och analysera en av deras huvudprocesser, "att utvärdera och lära av olyckor och insatser". Bakgrunden till uppdraget är identifierade problem kopplade till denna process. Organisationens mål är att öka kopplingen mellan insamlat material och det interna lärandet och vi hoppas med denna uppsats k

Abstract Author: Ella-Kari Meyrell Title: Strategy for welfare - a discourse analytical study of culture in health, social care and school organizations Supervisor: Håkan Jönson Assessor: Torbjörn Hjort The aim of this study was to examine how culture (as “the arts”) is constructed as a strategy in welfare work. The empirical material was based upon 160 articles from Swedish printed and web base

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att studera hur punkt 3.2.1 i Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning har implementerats av bolag på Large Cap-listan och huruvida förändringar i styrelse-sammansättningar har skett sedan den trädde i kraft den 1 juli år 2005. Syftet är även att granska respondenternas syn på huruvida en lag om kvotering vore lämplig för svenska börsbolag. Därtill vill författarna ge försla

Syfte: Denna uppsats syftar till att se om den svenska koden för bolagsstyrning har levt upp till sitt ursprungliga syfte, att förbättra bolagsstyrningen samt att öka förtroendet. På så sätt ska vi avgöra vilken betydelse sådan här reglering har för styrning av svenska bolag och förtroendet för dessa. Vi har även för avsikt att se om och i så fall hur inställningen till koden har förändrats efter

Sub Saharan African (SSA) countries are facing severe economic challenges such as high trade costs, poor trade performance and low growth levels. As a result development assistance is needed to overcome these difficulties. SSA countries receive the highest share of Aid for Trade (AfT) and therefore it is important to assess the effects of AfT. This study investigates the trade effect of AfT on tra

Surrogacy is a much-discussed issue in Spain since in 2017 the political party Ciudadanos proposed in parliament a law to legalize altruistic surrogacy. Since then, the main political parties have constructed a discourse on surrogacy, positioning themselves in favor of or against its legalization. Meanwhile, civil society has also mobilized and associations fighting for or against the legalization

In this essay I have done an analysis of a text by Nick Arnold who is a writer of children’s books about science with the ambition to make science accessible to everyone, and especially to children. I have translated the first 6 000 words of his Measly Medicine(2006), looked into different methods of explanation he uses in order to make difficult subjects available to children, and analysed what I

Studien strävar efter att ta reda på hur rädsla för brott ser ut i ett ruralt område som nyligen utsatts för grova brott. Detta har undersökts genom intervjuer med sex butiksägare som alla blivit utsatta för brott och där två har utsatts för de grova brotten som studien utgår ifrån. Datan har tolkats med hjälp av DuBows m.fl. uppdelning av riskbedömning, värdering och emotioner. Alla respondenter

Voting cohesion in the European Parliament is a thoroughly studied field, however a deep dive into the kingmaker of coalition building, the liberal party group, has yet to be done. This thesis attempts to illustrate how voting cohesion varies within the Alliance of Liberals & Democrats and Renew Europe respectively, and what factors can explain variation in cohesion. Specifically, how cohesion

Internal displacement is a relatively new issue in the international agenda, in general, and in research, in particular. However, due to the steady increase in the number of displaced persons globally, this problem becomes more and more visible. This study sees internally displaced persons as marginalized and subaltern group, which is, however, potentially able to start struggle for recognition, w

We study the homogenization of the Dirichlet problem for the Stokes equations in R3 perforated by m spherical particles. We assume the positions and velocities of the particles to be identically and independently distributed random variables. In the critical regime, when the radii of the particles are of order m-1, the homogenization limit u is given as the solution to the Brinkman equations. We p
