It has been almost fifteen years ago that the top quark, the heaviest and most intriguing among the six known quarks, was observed at the Tevatron experiments at Fermilab. Some of its properties, such as the mass and the production cross sections are by now quite well known. Other important aspects, however, such as the top quark invariant mass distribution, the structure of the tWb coupling, the

In this talk we discuss the recent progess in the computation and simulation of multi-leg hadronic final states. We focus on three recent developments: (i) Minlo as a path NNLOPS, (ii) NLO EW corrections and their matching to parton showers, and (iii) incorporating NLO splitting functions in parton showers.

Community currencies have emerged as a tool for building more inclusive local economic development and governance. Grassroots organisations in Nairobi and Mombasa (Kenya) have been experimenting with this form of local monies. Communities in informal settlements in Kisumu have shown interest in introducing their own community currency. Challenges remain concerning the best diffusion strategy of su

Although researchers across the social sciences speak of a linguistic turn, most research exploring culture still assumes a traditional perspective on language, which conceives meaning as representation. Yet, Wittgenstein convincingly criticized the epistemological basis of such a perspective, offering an alternative view on language. The paper begins by explaining the central points of a performa

En berättelse om Carl Cederschiölds gåva till den somaliska föreningen Benadir. En liten episod som, rätt uttolkad, har mycket att berätta om umgänget mellan människor från olika kulturer.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries there were numerous non-proprietors paupers in the Swedish countryside such as crofters, boarders and inhabitants of rural slums. With a change in the heritage legislation, increased possibilities to archaeologically investigate the non-proprietors of the recent past have emerged, but the archaeological material is still both scarce and of a repetitive characteIn the 19th and early 20th centuries there were numerous non proprietor, poor and pauper people in the Swedish countryside such as crofters, boarders and inhabitants of rural slums.

En plattityd; samhället är delat. Lite mera nyanserat; det verkar finnas en tendens till att strukturera den mänskliga samvarons former. Individer, liksom aktiviteter, separeras i olika kategorier vilka rangordnas mer eller mindre relevant för samhällets fungerande. Dessa processer sker utan att någon av de inblandade har något intresse i en sådan strukturering. Det kan till och med vara s

The Swedish well fare state is a young phenomenon. In the 19th and early 20th centuries there were numerous non proprietor, poor and pauper people in the Swedish countryside such as crofters, boarders and inhabitants of rural slums. Being poor also meant being more exposed to risks than more resourceful persons, and having fragile safety nets. This paper is about these poor and pauper persons of tIn the 19th and early 20th centuries there were numerous non-proprietors and paupers in the Swedish countryside, such as crofters, boarders and inhabitants of rural slums. Multisource methods such as triangulation of written documents, historical maps and archaeological evidence are used to study the living conditions, vulnerability and marginalization of boarders and inhabitants of rural slums fr

Den här artikeln diskuterar den danske adelsmannen Sivert Grubbe och de tavlor med långa inskrifter på latin som han satte upp på sina herrgårdar Torup och Hovdala på 1630-talet. Tavlorna sattes upp mot slutet av hans liv och kan ses som ett försök att skapa ett minnesmärke över sig själv, att styra det egna eftermälet.

There are several different approaches used to treat prostate cancer, depending on age and general health conditions of the patient but also how severe the cancer is. To determine the latter, Gleason grading is used. The grade is determined by a pathologist, based on structures in histology samples from prostate biopsies. To determine the diagnosis, both the most common Gleason grade but also the
