‘The loved home’ and other exclusionary care discourses. A multi-scalar and transnational analysis of heteroactivist resistances to gender and sexual rights in Sweden.

Based in a conceptualization of heteroactivism as a transnational phenomenon which manifest in local contexts, this article aims to illuminate new dimensions of heteroactivism beyond a more limited focus on gender and sexuality, by bringing the specificities of heteroactivism in a Swedish context to the fore. Drawing on digital ethnography with members of the neo-conservative, far-right think tank

Navigating Turbulent Political Waters : From Corporate Political Advocacy to Scansis in the Case of NBA-China Crisis

Drawing on insights from both rhetorical arena theory and contingency theory of conflict management, this study examines the role of political factors in shaping stakeholder groups’ perceptions and organizational responses and stances in a scansis of a multinational corporation. This study combined qualitative content analysis and semantic network analysis to analyze organizational responses, news

Centrality dependence of the nuclear modification factor of charged pions, kaons, and protons in Pb-Pb collisions at s NN =2.76 TeV

Transverse momentum (pT) spectra of pions, kaons, and protons up to pT=20GeV/c have been measured in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76TeV using the ALICE detector for six different centrality classes covering 0%-80%. The proton-to-pion and the kaon-to-pion ratios both show a distinct peak at pT≈3GeV/c in central Pb-Pb collisions that decreases for more peripheral collisions. For pT>10GeV/c, the nuclear

Reflektioner om nya och saknade nyckelpersoner i kriminalpolitiken

I en artikel har Per Ole Träskman diskuterat i vilken utsträckning brottslingen, brottsoffret eller ”jag själv” – det allmänna rättsmedvetandet – bör ges inflytande över kriminalpolitiken. Inspirerad av frågan om kriminalpolitikens nyckelperson riktar jag i den här texten blicken mot två andra aktörer: rättsvetaren och polisen. Först konstaterar jag att rättsvetarens minskade inflytande över krimi

Advanced laser-based techniques for gas-phase diagnostics in combustion and aerospace engineering

Gaining information of species, temperature, and velocity distributions in turbulent combustion and high-speed reactive flows is challenging, particularly for conducting measurements without influencing the experimental object itself. The use of optical and spectroscopic techniques, and in particular laser-based diagnostics, has shown outstanding abilities for performing non-intrusive in situ diag

Numerical Investigation on Thermal Performance Design of Cryogenic Compact Heat Exchangers with Serrated-Fin Channels

Traditional empirical formulas of Colburn heat transfer factors will lead to a design deviation for cryogenic heat exchangers. This paper employs the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique to numerically study the thermal performance of cryogenic compact heat exchangers (CCHEs). To obtain more precise convective heat transfer coefficients, the heat transfer performance of CCHE with serrated

3D SURFACE GENERATION FROM AERIAL THERMAL IMAGERY

Aerial thermal imagery has been recently applied to quantitative analysis of several scenes. For the mapping purpose based on aerial thermal imagery, high accuracy photogrammetric process is necessary. However, due to low geometric resolution and low contrast of thermal imaging sensors, there are some challenges in precise 3D measurement of objects. In this paper the potential of thermal video in

Normal State of Nd1-xSrxNiO2 from Self-Consistent GW+EDMFT

Superconductivity with a remarkably high Tc has recently been observed in hole-doped NdNiO2, a material that shares similarities with the high-Tc cuprates. This discovery promises new insights into the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity, but at the modeling level, there are fundamental issues that need to be resolved. While it is generally agreed that the low-energy properties of cuprat

Individual shedder status and the origin of touch DNA

Due to improved laboratory techniques, touched surfaces and items are increasingly employed as sources of forensic DNA evidence. This has urged a need to better understand the mechanisms of DNA transfer between individuals. Shedder status (i.e. the propensity to leave DNA behind) has been identified as one major factor regulating DNA transfer. It is known that some individuals tend to shed more DN

The importance of hypoxia in radiotherapy for the immune response, metastatic potential and FLASH-RT

Purpose: Hypoxia (low oxygen) is a common feature of solid tumors that has been intensely studied for more than six decades. Here we review the importance of hypoxia to radiotherapy with a particular focus on the contribution of hypoxia to immune responses, metastatic potential and FLASH radiotherapy, active areas of research by leading women in the field. Conclusion: Although hypoxia-driven metas

Bedazzled by technology

This paper is about the socio-technical findings of a project that was carried out for an organisation in the educational sector. The main aim of the project was to explore the possibilities of developing a mobile Augmented Reality authoring tool that educators would use to create AR experiences in attempt to improve their teaching methods. A novel ‘solution’ was designed and prototyped, which ini

The Use of Restrictive Measures in Community Services for People With Intellectual Disabilities in Sweden

Background: Community services for Swedish people with intellectual disability (ID) are intended to support self-determination and integrity. Legislation does not allow the use of restrictive or coercive measures. Aim: The aim of this study is to identify the extent of, rationale for, and strategies staff believe would reduce the use of restrictive measures in group homes and daily activities serv

The International Soil Moisture Network : Serving Earth system science for over a decade

In 2009, the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) was initiated as a community effort, funded by the European Space Agency, to serve as a centralised data hosting facility for globally available in situ soil moisture measurements . The ISMN brings together in situ soil moisture measurements collected and freely shared by a multitude of organisations, harmonises them in terms of units and sam

Latest developments in metal complexes as anticancer agents

Every year novel biologically active compounds are designed as antitumor agents. This review covers and highlights some of the most important findings described during 2018–2020 to appoint the benefits and drawbacks regarding the activity and toxicity of the metal-based cancer drug candidates. We review new multi-action platinum(IV) prodrugs and other metal complexes with high chemotherapeutic pot

Fostering Reflection, Dialogue and Collaboration among Actors at the UN Climate Change Conferences

At their core, the UN Climate Change conferences known as “COPs” are the primary international venue for negotiating how countries should act and cooperate to avoid dangerous climate change. The 2015 Paris Agreement is its most recent notable success. Although the climate negotiations are a state government-led process, the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) community h

Searching for long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider

Particles beyond the Standard Model (SM) can generically have lifetimes that are long compared to SM particles at the weak scale. When produced at experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, these long-lived particles (LLPs) can decay far from the interaction vertex of the primary proton–proton collision. Such LLP signatures are distinct from those of promptly decaying particles t
