Kvantelektrodynamik beskriver den elektromagnetiska kraften mellan elektroner och protoner, och är en av fysikens mest lyckade teorier. Till skillnad från elektroner, så är protoner inte fundamentala partiklar, utan de är uppbyggda av mindre partiklar som kallas för kvarkar. Kvarkarna inuti protonen binds inte ihop av den elektromagnetiska kraften, utan istället genom en annan kraft som kallas föWe use lattice QCD data to perform a fit of the pion and kaon mass and decay constant to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in three-flavor Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). To improve our fits, we make use of finite volume corrections at both one- and two-loop order. This turns out to provide a small but noticeable improvement of our fits. Our fits see a significant improvement with the inclus

Distansarbetet har inneburit en förändring av arbetslivet. Då distansarbetet till stor del sker hemifrån resulterar det i att arbetssfären (första skiftet) och icke-arbetssfären i form av hushållsarbete (andra skiftet) integreras allt mer. Tidigare forskning påvisar att kvinnor upplever ett ansvar över både hushållsarbetet samt planerandet av detta (tredje skiftet), vilket i sin tur påverkar deras

Det är förbjudet för en arbetsgivare att utsätta en arbetstagare, arbetssökande etc. för diskriminering eller repressalier i samband med personens sexuella läggning. Detta framkommer både i EU-rätten och i den nationella rätten. Sexuell läggning definieras i diskrimineringslagen som “homosexuell, bisexuell eller heterosexuell läggning”. Definitionen togs fram till den tidigare lagen (1999:133) om It is forbidden for an employer to expose an employee, jobseeker, etc. to discrimination or retaliation in connection with the person's sexual orientation. This is reflected in both EU law and national law. Sexual orientation is defined in the Discrimination Act as "homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual orientation". The definition was developed in the previous law (1999: 133) on the
