We report measurements of the relative intensities of 81 emission linesof Fe II between 160 nm and 350 nm (62 168 cm-1 to 28 564cm-1) from 4 levels by high resolution Fourier transformspectrometry, using a Penning discharge lamp as light source. Theserelative intensities have been used to determine the line branchingfractions, which have then been combined with accurate exper
The reactions between galena and synthetic lead(II) sulphide powders, and potassium alkylxanthates have been studied in aqueous, acetone and acetonitrile solutions. Acetone and acetonitrile have been used since potassium and lead(II) alkylxanthates are soluble in these solvents. Qualitative analysis of the alkylxanthate species present on the surfaces of galena and synthetic lead(II) sulphide afte
We present a model that explains the anomalous intensity ratios betweeneach of two very bright UV lines of Fe II at 2507 Å and 2509Å and its corresponding satellite line, observed in HST spectra ofa compact gaseous condensation (blob B) in the vicinity of the starprotect eta Car.The model is based on the assumption that the FeIItransitions have a substantial optical thickness, which varies as ares
Background Syndesmotic injuries of the ankle without fractures can result from external rotation, abduction and dorsiflexion injuries. Kinematic studies of these trauma mechanisms have not been performed. We attempted to describe the kinematics of the tibiofibular joint in cadaveric specimens using radiostereometry after sequential ligament sectioning, and resulting from different trauma mechanism
We have studied the pH effect on the S0 and S2 multiline electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals from the water-oxidizing complex of photosystem II. Around pH 6, the maximum signal intensities were detected. On both the acidic and alkaline sides of pH 6, the intensities of the EPR signals decreased. Two pKs were determined for the S0 multiline signal; pK1 = 4.2 ± 0.2 and pK2 = 8.0 ± 0.1, and
In pigs, the spontaneous secretion of the exocrine pancreas and the release of cholecystokinin (CCK) and peptide YY (PYY) after intraduodenal infusion of fully saturated synthetic fats differing in chain length was studied. Growing pigs (n = 6) were prepared with pancreatic duct catheters, duodenal T-cannulas and catheters placed in the jugular vein. The pigs were fed 2 g/100 g body twice daily. B
On the island of Oland the weed, Silene vulgaris (Moench) Garcke, and the endemic, Silene uniflora Roth ssp. petraea, hybridize when brought into contact by anthropogenic disturbance. Variation was studied in transects across a hybrid zone where a linear population of S. vulgaris crossed the native habitat of S. uniflora ssp. petraea. Plants were scored for 20 morphological characters. Although in
We review our recent low-temperature absorption, circular dichroism ( CD), magnetic CD (MCD), fluorescence and laser-selective measurements of oxygen-evolving Photosystem II ( PSII) core complexes and their constituent CP43, CP47 and D1/D2/cytb(559) sub-assemblies. Quantitative comparisons reveal that neither absorption nor fluorescence spectra of core complexes are simple additive combinations of
Objectives The aim of the study was to examine the predictive value of QRS duration and morphology during watchful waiting in asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Background QRS duration and morphology are associated with poor prognosis in many different populations, but the predictive value, particularly of the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), in asymptomatic patients with AS has n
Background/Aims: Data on contact allergy to fragrances in the general population are limited. Data from allergological services suggest that the frequency of contact allergy to fragrances is increasing. The European Dermato-Epidemiology Network (EDEN) Fragrance Study aims to obtain reliable data on the prevalence of contact allergy to fragrances and other sensitizers of the European baseline serie
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union has been a legally binding act for ten years. However, ever since entering into the force, it has not been quite clear when the Charter in fact is applicable. During the past years, the EU has been faced by the Rule of law crisis, as called in the academic debate. This thesis aims to clarify when the Charter is applicable and examine whether
Protests are a common way for citizens to express their grievances and can occur in almost every regime. Each state reacts to protests in different ways – some listen to citizens' demands and adjust their policies, others resort to forceful methods, but in one and the other case, the media occupy an important place among the tools of response. This becomes especially evident in non-democratic
According to recent estimates, the implementation of the 2030 Agenda requires additional investments of USD 2.5 trillion USD per year. Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) are designed to be one of the key players in mobilizing the required investments from the private sector. However, too little investment is mobilized in countries where it is most needed. Drawing on previous findings on econo
The unprecedented military and economic support provided by non-participating States to Ukraine following the Russian aggression has reignited the debate surrounding the law of neutrality. The law of neutrality, first codified in the Hague Conventions of 1907, defines the legal relationship between States involved in an international armed conflict (IAC), known as belligerents, and States not taki
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur en gruppinsats för unga flickor med högfungerande autism fungerade och upplevdes av deltagarna och deras vårdnadshavare. Gruppinsatsen bestod av en integrering av metoder hämtade ur Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassionfokuserad terapi (CFT), dans och yoga och avsåg att förebygga psykisk ohälsa hos deltagarna. Studien genomfördes genom ob
En arbetsmiljö är både fysisk och psykosocial. Den fysiska delen är enkel att överblicka eftersom den är objektiv, medan den psykosociala är lite mer komplicerad då den är subjektiv och personer uppfattar den olika. I uppsatsen utreds begreppet psykosocial arbetsmiljö för att ge en förståelse för dess innebörd och relevans till ämnet. Kränkande särbehandling är det begrepp som används i svensk rätA work environment is both physical and psychosocial. The physical part is easy to overlook because it is objective, while the psychosocial is a bit more complicated since it is subjective and people perceive the differently. In the essay the concept of psychosocial work environment is examined in order to provide an understanding of its meaning and relevance to the subject. Victimization is the c
Both the pandemic and Euro crisis posed social risks in terms of unemployment and poverty. Yet, we see a more socially focussed crisis response to the pandemic, whereas the Euro crisis mainly neglected social policy. My thesis asks in how far such social policy crisis response variation can be understood. Hitherto literature usually focusses on instiutionalist arguments that are unable to bridge s
Since December 2015, the European Commission (EC) has defended the juridical autonomy in Poland by initiating the so called ‘Rule of Law Framework’ against the member state. Although the EC possess legal grounds for taking such actions against Poland, the supranational authority of the Commission is questioned in terms of legitimacy towards national governments. The aim of this thesis is to analy
The purpose of this study is to develop a deeper understanding of how organisations use communication as a tool to publicly respond to accusations. We aim to explore whether existing techniques are being used or if new techniques can be discovered.
