Most reductionist accounts of intentional joint action include a condition that it must be common knowledge between participants that they have certain intentions and beliefs that cause and coordinate the joint action. However, this condition has typically simply been taken for granted rather than argued for. The condition is not necessary for ensuring that participants are jointly responsible for
Abstract: A popular belief is that the process whereby search engines tailor their search results to individual users, so-called personalization, leads to filter bubbles in the sense of ideologically segregated search results that would tend to reinforce the user’s prior view (filter bubble hypothesis). Since filter bubbles are thought to be detrimental to society, there have been calls for furthe
Motivation: The above-ground tissues of higher plants are generated from a small region of cells situated at the plant apex called the shoot apical meristem. An important genetic control circuit modulating the size of the Arabidopsis thaliana meristem is a feed-back network between the CLAVATA3 and WUSCHEL genes. Although the expression patterns for these genes do not overlap, WUSCHEL activity is
This experience article describes lessons learned as we conducted experiments in a Kubernetes‐based environment, the most notable of which was that the performance of both the Kubernetes control plane and the deployed application depends strongly and in unexpected ways on the performance of the etcd database. The article contains (a) detailed descriptions of how networking with and without Istio w
Purpose: To explore how parents of children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience their child’s participation in physical activities and to identify facilitators and barriers for being physically active and reducing sedentary behaviour. Methods: Twenty-five parents of sixteen children, aged 8–11 years old with CP, with varying gross motor, cognitive and communicative functions and with different cul
An important part of responsible business practices is compliance with the law. This article details what actually happens when the laws of the host country fail to ensure adequate protection. The focus here is on land dispossession and loss of livelihood in relation to a gold mine project in central Ghana. How is it that a well-known international company—Newmont—with its own corporate social res
We review the state-of-the-art of Glauber-inspired models for estimating the distribution of the number of participating nucleons in pA and AA collisions. We argue that there is room for improvement in these model when it comes to the treatment of diffractive excitation processes, and present a new simple Glauber-like model where these processes are better taken into account. We also suggest a new
Comprehensive approaches to predict performance of wood products are requested by international standards, and the first attempts have been made in the frame of European research projects. However, there is still an imminent need for a methodology to implement the durability and moisture performance of wood in an engineering design method and performance classification system. The aim of this stud
Regional climate models (RCMs) primarily represent physical components of the climate system, omitting vegetation dynamics, ecosystem biogeochemistry and their associated feedbacks. To account for such feedbacks, we implemented a novel plant individual-based vegetation dynamics-ecosystem biogeochemistry scheme within the RCA3 RCM. Variations in leaf area index (LAI) of seven plant functional type
Single crystals of a new ternary phase, Ca7Ag2+xGe7-x [x = 0.48(3)], were obtained from as side-product of high-temperature solid-state reactions, and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Following the Zintl concept, the anionic substructure consists of a novel pentameric Zintl anion [Ge-5](12-) with C-2v local symmetry, as well as [AgxGe2-x]((6-3x)-) units accounting for
Molecular oxygen has been detected in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko with a mean abundance of 3.80 ±0.85% by the ROSINA mass spectrometer on board the Rosetta spacecraft. To account for the presence of this species in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, it has been shown that the radiolysis of ice grain precursors of comets is a viable mechanism in low-density environments, such as molec
Global economies have been characterised by a large dependency of material inflows from natural stocks, an exponential growth of material stock-in-use in the built environment, and the extensive disposal of waste material outflows to anthropogenic sinks. In this context, the concept of the circular economy has emerged, promising to circulate the stock-in-use of materials and transforming output wa
A healthy working life is fundamental for individuals and society. To date, increasingly research connects the earlier, pre-working life to later working life experiences and beyond, recognizing that a worker’s health and exposure starts before the working life begins. The research, however, often lacks a fundamental understanding of (i) the underlying mechanisms and pathways accounting for differ
I rättsväsendet är djur att betrakta som saker och egendom. Detta medför att djur, när de är brottsoffer, inte får samma skydd som människor i samma situation. Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka djurskyddet för häst i Sverige samt den samhälleliga synen på hästen för att se hur väl dessa överensstämmer med det faktum att hästen är att betrakta som en sak i vårt rättssystem. Djurplåg
This paper will investigate the conflicts that can arise during destination development following a World Heritage inscription. Previous literature mentions that conflicts arise, but focuses on a more managerial perspective, and fails to account for the characteristics of those conflicts. The aim of the paper is to account for the characteristics of the conflicts that arise, by trying to grasp how
I denna uppsats undersöks den svenska djurskyddslagstiftningen och huruvida den medför ett tillräckligt starkt juridiskt skydd för djuren samt om och i vilken omfattning djurens skyddsvärde får stå tillbaka för andra intressen. De centrala författningarna är djurskyddslagen och djurplågeribestämmelsen i 16 kap 13§ BrB. I uppsatsen behandlas även material från ett flertal djurrättsorganisationer. FThis thesis aims to investigate the Swedish animal protection law and whether not it constitutes a strong enough legal protection for the animals. Also, if and how much the animals’ worth of protection is pushed back to favour other interests. The central pieces of legislation are the Animal Welfare Act and the regulation of animal abuse in the 16th chapter of the Swedish Penal code. The thesis al
Prior to the 1990 Iraq-Kuwait conflict it was well known that Iraq had developed weapons of mass destruction but the extent of its programs were unclear. After the Iraqi defeat in the ensuing Gulf war 1991 the UN Security Council authorized the creation of UN Special Commission for Iraq (UNSCOM) with the purpose of ridding Iraq permanently of weapons of mass destruction. Several conclusions can be
A dynamic beam system loaded harmonically in the axial direction and constrained in the transverse direction is modelled using different theoretical descriptions. Results from an experimental set-up are compared to calculations using Bernoulli as well as Timoshenko beam theories. Some results from investigations of this beam system unveiling its chaotic nature have earlier been presented, but here
NYTT FRÅN SACO God jul och ett gott nytt år! Dags att knyta ihop säcken med 2023. Sacos-styrelsen önskar alla medlemmar en riktigt skön och ledig helg! Lönerevisionen 2023 är avslutad.
