Understanding how momentum anisotropies arise in small collision systems is important for a quantitative understanding of collectivity in terms of QCD dynamics in small and large collision systems. In this letter we present results for small collision systems from the newly developed parton cascade ALPACA, which faithfully encodes the AMY effective kinetic theory. ALPACA reproduces quantitatively
This chapter explores, through the lens of the history and development of the situation of statelessness across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) – a consequence of nation-state formation, state succession and/or discriminatory ethnic, religious and gender law and policy – the striking commonalities in both the causes and consequences of statelessness. It focuses on how the MENA region lacks
The left lateralization of language has been attributed to hemispheric specialization for processing rapidly changing information. While interhemispheric differences in auditory cortex organization support this view, the macrostructure of the entire cerebral cortex has not been thoroughly examined from this perspective. This study investigated hemispheric asymmetries in cortical surface area and t
This article examines the political economy of Arab-Israeli peacemaking in the first half of the 1990s, specifically the multilateral working group on Arms Control and Regional Security (ACRS). It focuses on the misplaced memorialization of the ACRS process as a lost opportunity for the establishment of a nuclear weapons free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East, which has resulted in a continuous “retu

Aims. The aim of this work is to create a complete list of sources exhibiting a long secondary period (LSP) in the ASAS-SN catalog of variable stars, and analyze the properties of this sample compared to other long period variables without an LSP. Methods. We used the period-amplitude diagram to identify the 55 572 stars showing an LSP, corresponding to 27% of the pulsating red giants in the catal
The goal of this thesis is to advance our understanding of introspection by studying when it fails, without us being aware of it. To do so, I have used the choice blindness paradigm. Choice blindness is a surprising phenomenon in which people fail to detect mismatches between their intention and outcome in a decision task, and then spontaneously confabulate reasons why they preferred an alternativ
The construction of large hydro infrastructures often causes severe socio-environmental issues. When the facility is projected on transboundary rivers, such as the Nile, these issues may become political and involve a much greater number of actors. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is provoking significant geopolitical tensions in the Horn of Africa since it involves two of the most dynam
This qualitative study was aimed at increasing the knowledge about Swedish school based SLPs’ perception of language assessment tools and practices. Purposes of language assessments within a school context, experience of existing tools and an assessment’s optimal content was targeted. 19 school based SLPs were interviewed in focus groups and the data were analyzed using qualitative content analysi
Manufacturing activities are highly prioritized by many low- and middle-income countries in the twentyfirst century, yet there is an urgent need for these processes to be done in a way that bring about sustainable and inclusive development. As an African forerunner that has developed manufacturing, achieved sustained growth, and undergone structural transformation, Mauritius is an interesting case
One of the constant characteristics featuring Iran-Britain relations in the post-revolutionary era has been a strong sense of distrust and a demonizing discourse they have employed mostly as an ideological-moral framework to interpret and represent each other’s actions and policies. A great majority of the Islamic Republic officials view the UK and its policies, however favourable or friendly they
