The highest-spin discrete states (I ∼ 60ℏ and Ex ∼ 30MeV) in normal deformed nuclei have been observed in the rare-earth isotope 156Dy using the GAMMASPHERE spectrometer. The quadrupole moments for a variety of configurations, including the 9/2+[404] (g9/2) proton, 1/2+[660] (i13/2) and 1/2-[541] (f7/2, h9/2) neutron orbitals, were measured in a wide range of ∼ 130 nuclei.

The level scheme of 103Pd has been reconstructed using high-fold γ-ray coincidence data obtained with the EUROGAM-2 spectrometer in the 70Zn(36S,3n) reaction at E = 130 MeV. New spins and excitation energies are given for levels in the strongly coupled positive parity bands. Four high-spin bands are discussed in terms of terminating configurations using Nilsson-Strutinsky cranking calculations. On

Two γ-rays of 129.2 and 288.4 keV observed in the β-decay of 55 ms 100Rb are interpreted as representing the two lowest transitions in the 100Sr ground-state rotational band. The energy ratio of the two levels, 3.23, approaches the value for a rigid rotator. The half-life of the 2+ state is 5.15 ± 0.20 ns corresponding to a deformation parameter ε{lunate} of 0.29. The theoretical implications of t

The effect of an octupole component in the intrinsic mean field at high spin is demonstrated by a Woods-Saxon-Bogolyubov cranking calculation. The nature of nuclear rotation becomes nearly collective instead of collective plus single-particle, because octupole couplings with l up to 3 "dilute" the high-j shells. Theory is consistent with experimental data on Th222 and could be tested further by st

Accurate detection of traffic anomalies is crucial for effective urban traffic management and congestion mitigation. We use the Spatiotemporal Generative Adversarial Network (STGAN) framework combining Graph Neural Networks and Long Short-Term Memory networks to capture complex spatial and temporal dependencies in traffic data. We apply STGAN to real-time, minute-by-minute observations from 42 tra

High-spin states have been populated in 11954Xe via the 96Mo(27Al,p3n) reaction at 133 MeV, using the JUROSPHERE γ-ray spectrometer to record triple γ-ray coincidences. The known level scheme has been significantly extended and several band crossings identified. In particular, the νh11/2 yrast band has been extended to Iπ = (83/2-) and shows features which are consistent with those of smooth band

This thesis explores how public libraries in Lund, Sweden, and various regions of Nepal function as inclusive community spaces. Drawing on ethnographic methods including observation, interviews, digital ethnography, and surveys, it compares the everyday experiences of library users in two different national contexts. Grounded in theories of the public sphere by Habermas and Risse, and their critiq

In a time characterized by individualization and changing forms of collective life, this study explores contemporary cinema as both a personal and shared experiential space. Based on interviews and participant observations conducted at two cinemas in Malmö, Sweden, the study explores how cinematic experiences are shaped through atmosphere, spatial organization, and social interaction. The analysis

The purpose of this study is to investigate masculinity via the modern cooking method of barbequing. This will be done through the theoretical lens of preformance as presented by Erving Goffman. The methodology through which this has been done includes person interviews, interviews done online, netnography and archival studies. Thus the basis of my material ranges from voice recordings, online dis

This paper examines personal accounts of living with allergies. By interviewing adults with childhood experience of allergy summer camps and by writing an autoethnographic journal I analyze how these summer camps can exhibit a way to make everyday life of the allergic individuals easier. An allergy may affect a person's lifestyle in many ways and you encounter a lot of difficult experiences in

Precision oncology is being transformed by the integration of advanced machine learning (ML) methods and extensive biomedical data from genomics, imaging, proteomics, and clinical records. ML techniques, including supervised, unsupervised, deep learning, and reinforcement learning, have progressed from experimental tools to robust systems that identify clinically actionable biomarkers, refine prog

BackgroundLong-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) given for at least 15 hours/day improves survival in patients with severe chronic hypoxemia. However, the recent REDOX trial showed that LTOT prescribed for 24 hours/day was not superior to 15 hours/day in terms of death, hospitalizations, or self-reported outcomes. We aimed to examine the cost effectiveness of prescribing LTOT for 24 versus 15 hours/day.M

The goal of this thesis is to explore the church father Justin Martyr’s view of the Jewish people and how he interprets their role in salvation history and their relationship with Christians. By applying a discourse analysis on Justin’s work Dialogue with Trypho these themes can be explored. By using a historical-critical lens the thesis aims to explore what Justin’s work originally meant not how

Historically, the relationship between Marxism and Religion has been studied primarily as antagonistic. Previous research shows that Marxism, especially following Lenin’s contributions to the movement, has been seen as hostile, especially towards Christianity. This does not have to be the case strictly. Studying the Second International's (1889) most prominent thinker, Karl Kautsky (1854-1938)

Under 1600- och 1700-talet tvingades den strängt lutherskt ortodoxa kyrkan i Sverige att möta motstånd för första gången i historien. Det var präster inom kyrkan som hade tagit intryck av den pietistiska rörelsen och dess betoning på ett innerligare trosbegrepp och reform. Det uppstod en maktkamp mellan kyrkan och pietismen, detta var svårhanterligt för en kyrka som aldrig tidigare behövt känna si

Denna kriminologiska kandidatuppsats syftar till att undersöka hur Kaj Linna och Abbe “Blattelito” Alsaadi skildrades av media i respektive fall. Studien har huvudsakligen analyserat nyhets- och debattartiklar publicerade i de största svenska kvälls- och dagstidningar. Den ämnar att undersöka och analysera dessa skildringar. För identifieringen av detta har en fallstudie i kombination med en temat

This dissertation investigates entrepreneurial ethics – a behavioral approach to ethical dilemmas in entrepreneurship. Specifically, the thesis investigates how the individual entrepreneurial decision-maker perceives and interprets conflicting ethical cues surrounding their work, and how that cognitive processing translates into entrepreneurial action and outcomes. Prior research on ethics in entr

In this article, we examine how climate adaptation policies can operate as mechanisms of dispossession, displacing marginalized communities under the guise of environmental protection. We introduce the concept of ‘adaptation by dispossession’ to describe how interventions framed as responses to climate-related hazards justify forced removal, exclusion and the reallocation of land and resources.
