The fusion-evaporation reaction 244Pu(48Ca, 3-4n)288,289114 was studied at the new gas-filled recoil separator TASCA. Thirteen correlated decay chains were observed and assigned to the production and decay of 288,289114. At a compound nucleus excitation energy of E* = 39.8-43.9 MeV, the 4n evaporation channel cross section was 9.8(-3.1)(+3.9) pb. At E* = 36.1-39.5 MeV, that of the 3n evaporation c
To assess the association between serum triglyceride levels and cancer risk. The metabolic syndrome and cancer project (Me-Can) includes cohorts from Norway, Austria, and Sweden; the current study included data on 257,585 men and 256,512 women. The mean age at study entry was 43.8 years for men and 44.2 years for women. The mean follow-up time was 13.4 years (SD = 8.5) for men and 11.9 years (SD =
We investigate how Tamil- and Dutch-speaking adults and 4- to-5-year-old children use caused posture verbs (‘lay/stand a bottle on a table’) to label placement events in which objects are oriented vertically or horizontally. Tamil caused posture verbs consist of morphemes that individually label the causal and result subevents (nikka veyyii ‘make stand’; paDka veyyii ‘make lie’), occurring in situ
The International Criminal Court (ICC) was created as a compliment to domestic courts in the global fight against impunity. However, customary international law has afforded Heads of State with immunity from prosecution, even for serious international crimes. Some key challenges of international criminal law are to reconcile the competing objectives of maintaining stable international relations, a
Problem – Despite supply chain flexibility is recognized as a competitive advantage in today’s business, and supply chain information system is one of the most critical tool to facilitate flexibility. There is no consensus or comprehensive description on how information system tailor with and work on supply chain flexibility to achieve better dynamic capability. Most of literatures mainly focus on
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the relationship between Free Trade Agreement and the Environment. To do so, the thesis uses a case study on the Asean China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) and the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) to analyse how free trade agreements can produce negative externalities on the environment. It will enquire on how free trade agreements exacerbate levels of re
There is a paucity of research in the field of communicating disasters and climate change through comics and the effect sequential art has on the perception of these two subjects. Increasingly, communication through comics is becoming very trendy, and a few studies demonstrate evidence that comics have effects on the people’s perception of complex matters. In order to extend our understanding of w
Det rättsliga skyddet för undervattensrörledningar och kablar har aldrig varit mer aktuellt. Efter explosionerna i Nord Stream 1 och 2, vilka inträffade i Danmarks och Sveriges exklusiva ekonomiska zoner aktualiserades frågan om detta skydd. Inom folkrätten, och speciellt havsrätten, har det varit omtvis-tat huruvida militära aktiviteter överhuvudtaget är tillåtna inom en kuststats exklusiva ekonoThe legal protection of underwater pipelines and cables has never been more relevant. After the explosions in Nord Stream 1 and 2 that took place in the EEZ of both Denmark and Sweden, this protection was put in the limelight. Within international law, and especially the law of the sea, it has been disputed whether military activity is permitted at all within a coastal state’s EEZ. The answer to t
This thesis examines the development and integration of soft skills into the formal and non-formal education systems of Azerbaijan, as well as evaluating their influence on the employability of young individuals. Through qualitative interviews and secondary data analysis, the study finds that while formal education in Azerbaijan mainly focuses on imparting academic skills, non-formal education pro
This thesis does describe and analyse the extent of protection of the Christian Louboutin trademark. The registration of trademarks is crucial for the fashion industry, in order to ensure the legacy of the brand and to gain economic value on the investments made. Its main goal is to determine the extent of trademark protection for fashion items and the obstacles they may face in both the EU and th
Though established as a movement and recognised as artistic form, light art remains elusive and somewhat enigmatic in its definitions and categorisations. This thesis aims to contribute to the current discourse on light art by exploring the application of objecthood and embodied simulation whilst acknowledging the contextual, three-dimensional, spectacular, and anti-art qualities of the art form.
The focus of this thesis is the debate regarding gasoline taxes in Sweden which is an example of a polarised sustainability debate. The aim is to get an in-depth understanding of the antagonisms of the debate by looking into how the pro and contra sides create and maintain cultural legitimacy and societal resonance through discursive struggles. Moreover, this thesis explores the framing struggles
Knowledge about how the Government governs its agencies is important to ensure legitimacy of the public exercise of power, and to further develop governing methods suitable for diverse types of agencies. This study focuses on a type of agency that is perceived as particularly difficult to govern – the university. The purpose is to describe how and to what extent the Government has attempted to gov
Deep-sea mining (DSM) is an emerging extractive industry often portrayed as part of a sustainable oceanic ‘blue economy’ despite being characterized by profound ecological uncertainty. This thesis critically examines the emergence focusing on the extraction of polymetallic nodules, by developing two arguments. First, it argues that DSM represents the ‘subsumption of nature’ by examining its biophy
This thesis explores the reception system for unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) in Sweden, with a focus on preventive and responsive measures to sexual violence. The aim is to understand the professional challenges of actively working against sexual vulnerability and violence. Furthermore, it explores the interrelation between changes in laws and legislation and shifts in the public discourse, w
The use of monoclonal antibodies in cancer treatment is on the rise demanding therapeutic antibodies to novel targets. To properly analyze these therapeutic candidates, state-of-the-art control antibodies are important to minimize false-negative and false-positive signals. The current negative control antibody at BioInvent International displays increased background signals, resulting in more stri
Stickiness between materials can be a challening task when dealing with the complex interactions and processes related to packaging engineering. Part of the problem is that many factors like temperature, pressure, surface treatment as well as surface roughness all could play a part in contributing to the stickiness between materials. In this thesis a literature study has been done to map out poten
Combative paramilitary forces are an unconventional but not unusual notion in warfare. The purpose of this study is to explain how the domestic and international power of a state affect its decision to support and align itself with paramilitary forces in war. By comparing the state alignment in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and Ukraine, the study sets out to explain the phenomena by utilizing
