In cross-national studies, mean levels of self-reported phenomena are often not congruent with more objective criteria. One prominent explanation for such findings is that people make self-report judgements in relation to culture-specific standards (often called the reference group effect), thereby undermining the cross-cultural comparability of the judgements. We employed a simple method called a

Spark ablation is an established method for generating aerosol nanoparticles. By changing the electrodes, synthesis of monometallic, multimetallic and semiconducting nanoparticles has been demonstrated. Apart from using electrodes of specific composition, compositional tuning of bimetallic nanoparticles during synthesis has recently been demonstrated (Kohut, et al., 2021). In many applications, it

In this study an algorithm was developed for calculating maximum detectable distance (MDD) for mobile gamma-ray detection of lost sources in-situ for some common mobile spectrometer systems and gamma sources (137Cs and 60Co). The MDD is a function of detector efficiency, vehicle speed, acquisition time interval, radiation background level and accepted frequency of false alarms. To test its accurac

INTRODUCTION: Thorough treatment planning is essential for a good clinical outcome in orthognathic treatment. The planning is often digital. Both 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) software options are available. The aim of this randomized 2-arm parallel double-blinded active-controlled clinical trial was to compare the outcomes of computer-based 2D and 3D planning techniques according to p

Aims: It is increasingly recognized that tools are required for assessing and benchmarking quality of care in order to improve it. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) is developing a suite of quality indicators (QIs) to evaluate cardiovascular care and support the delivery of evidence-based care. This paper describes the methodology used for their development. Methods and results: We propose

The Swedish retail landscape is currently undergoing a transformative change with increased digitalization and a rapidly growing e-commerce sector, which creates both opportunities and challenges. The development towards omnichannel commerce creates a more complex customer journey and results in complex environmental challenges. E-commerce deliveries to consumers, in particular, pose a complex soc

We present a detailed measurement of charged two-pion correlation functions in 0-30% centrality sNN=200 GeV Au+Au collisions by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The data are well described by Bose-Einstein correlation functions stemming from Lévy-stable source distributions. Using a fine transverse momentum binning, we extract the correlation strength parameter λ, the

The density of roots is an important factor influencing the rate and magnitude of landslides. Due to the increased variability in climate, mainly rainfall, Eastern Uganda is severely struck by an increasing number of these mass movements, often with human casualties as one of the negative impacts. The aim of this study is to explore the possibility to estimate the depth and density of the root sys

Digital transformations and processes of “datafication” fundamentally reshape how information is produced, circulated and given meaning. In this article, we provide a concept of “datastructuring” which seeks to capture this reshaping as both a product of and productive of social activity. To do this we focus on (1) how new forms of social action map onto and are enabled by technological changes re

Spatially-distributed values of glacier aerodynamic roughness (z0) are vital for robust estimates of turbulent energy fluxes and ice and snow melt. Microtopographic data allow rapid estimates of z0 over discrete plot-scale areas, but are sensitive to data scale and resolution. Here, we use an extensive multi-scale dataset from Hintereisferner, Austria, to develop a correction factor to derive z0 v

The introduction of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems has dramatically transformed wireless communication systems, in particular in the Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) systems, fundamentally changing how signals are transmitted and received. MIMO technology deploys numerous antennas to transmit and receive multiple data streams simultaneously. The presence of obstructions and scatThe introduction of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems has dramatically transformed wireless communication systems, in particular in the Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) systems, fundamentally changing how signals are transmitted and received.

The core business of Sandvik SRP AB are rock crushers. Today Sandvik evaluates the welded joints by simplified and somewhat conservative methods. The task is to investigate alternative weld evaluation methods. This have been done by creating different submodels of the area of interest, where the welds is represented in different ways. Different element types have been used, by following recommen

Currently, the consumer decision-making is influenced by an increase of technological adoption, called multi-channel retailing, which can be defined as a retailer using a combination of integrated channels for promoting and selling products and services. Since there is a lack of knowledge about how the consumer decision-making in this context looks like, the purpose of the study is to redress the

Denna studie har undersökt eventuella samband mellan isocialiseringstaktiker under introduktionsprocessen för nyanställda och deras upplevda self-efficacy och organisatoriska engagemang. Det är en uppföljning av tidigare forskning gjord av Gareth Jones som använder en modifierad version av den enkät han utvecklade. Urvalet består av enskilda butiker från ett marknadsledande företag inom dagligvaruThis study examines correlations between socialization tactics for onboarding new employees and their experienced self-efficacy and organizational commitment. The study was proposed and inspired by Gareth Jones who studied socialization tactics and developed a survey for the theorized definition of the different tactics, which is used in a modified version. The sample is drawn from separate stores

The proposed evaluation process concluded with providing some suggestions for the stockyard that helps S:t Eriks Staffanstorp to work in a more time efficient way, to achieve a better customer service related to shipping times. The solution is divided into two different ideas: storing according the ABC analysis assigning the areas close to the shipping area the A products, and the second one is fo

Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification process that has a very important role in the homeostasis of eukaryotic cells. Linkage-specific ubiquitination determines the final destination of modified protein. Ubiquitination has also been reported to regulate inflammasome function and IL-1β degradation. Secretion of IL-1β by macrophages in response to inflammasome activation is a key proces

På senare tid har en särskild typ av företag, vars affärsverksamhet går ut på att hyra bostadslägenheter för att vidareupplåta dem till företag som behöver personalbostäder, vuxit fram på hyresmarknaden i Sverige. Detta fenomen är vanligast i storstadsregionerna, företagen brukar kallas för mellanhandsföretag och bostäderna som hyrs ut för företagsbostäder. En av reglerna som aktualiseras vid dennIn recent years, a new category of business has emerged within the Swedish rental housing market, operating by leasing residential flats and subsequently subletting them to companies in need of staff accommodation. This phenomenon is most prevalent in metropolitan areas. Such businesses are usually referred to as intermediary companies, and the flats as corporate apartments. One of the legal provi
