The IS475 collaboration conducted Coulomb-excitation experiments with post-accelerated radioactive Rn-220 and Ra-224 beams at the REX-ISOLDE facility. The beam particles (E-beam: 2.83 MeV/u) were Coulomb excited using Ni-60, Cd-14, and Sn-120 scattering targets. De-excitation gamma-rays were detected employing the Miniball array and scattered particles were detected in a silicon detector. Exploiti
Moths depend on pheromone communication for mate finding and synthetic pheromones are used for monitoring or disruption of pheromone communication in pest insects. Here we produce moth sex pheromone, using Nicotiana benthamiana as a plant factory, by transient expression of up to four genes coding for consecutive biosynthetic steps. We specifically produce multicomponent sex pheromones for two spe
Purpose The purpose of this study is to better understand online anonymity in the global file-sharing community in the context of social norms and copyright law. The study describes the respondents in terms of use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) or similar services with respect to age, gender, geographical location, as well as analysing the correlation with file-sharing frequencies. Design/me
Customers are important stakeholders for any company; yet, they seem not to be widely discussed in merger and acquisition research. This chapter synthesizes the current body of research on customers in mergers and acquisitions through presenting a systematic literature review. The chapter is based on a systematic literature review resulting from a search in EBSCO Host for any research item that re
Context. The solution of the nonlocal thermodynamical equilibrium (non-LTE) radiative transfer equation usually relies on stationary iterative methods, which may falsely converge in some cases. Furthermore, these methods are often unable to handle large-scale systems, such as molecular spectra emerging from, for example, cool stellar atmospheres. Aims. Our objective is to develop a new method, whi
Dataskyddsförordningen, GDPR, ämnar att skydda personuppgifter genom att sätta den registrerades intressen är i fokus, samtidigt som lagen specifikt beaktar mikro-företag samt små och medelstora företags, SMEs, särskilda behov. Uppsatsen närmar sig denna problematik från ett perspektiv baserat på grundläggande rättigheter; problemformuleringen är hur mindre företags rättigheter och intressen kan bThe General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, aims to provide protection of personal data which is centred on the data-subject, while at the same time categorically giving special consideration to the specific needs of micro, small and medium‑sized enterprises, SMEs. The paper approaches this conundrum from a fundamental rights angle, and tries to answer how the rights and interests of smaller bus
Media shapes the public´s perceptions of social problems and how we understand the people affected by them. This study investigates the shaping of dual diagnosis, a concept that refers to the co-occurrence of a mental illness and substance use, a phenomena that has gained increased prominence in the last decades. While those suffering from dual diagnosis rarely have their voices heard in research,
The demand for improved digital learning tools has increased over the recent years, and got an additional boost from the Covid-19-pandemic. Many companies use artificial intelligence to improve their systems, one use case being question generation. However, artificial intelligence technology has advanced so quickly that other research fields such as user experience has not been able to keep up.
The Viking Age saw the colonisation of most of the isles of Scotland by settlers from Norway. These newcomers brought their own customs, practices and perceptions to the Isles, maintaining close links with the Scandinavian world. However, these islands had already experienced millennia of anthropogenic change by the time of Norse settlement, and generations of previous inhabitants had populated th
The present thesis focused on analysing the recent opening of the South Korean cosmetic industry to the Western world, in combination to a trade of beauty ideals, facilitated by social media and the internet. More specifically, the study focused on three main levels of inquiry. Firstly, understanding how the South Korean beauty industry advertises its products abroad through social media outlets;
Forskning indikerar att föräldrar som under sin egen uppväxt har varit placerade i samhällsvård löper högre risk att få sina egna barn placerade. Forskningen om föräldrar med erfarenhet av samhällsvård är begränsad, ofta till tonåren och de tidiga vuxenåren. Det finns i nuläget ingen forskning om dessa föräldrars omvårdnadsrepresentationer. Det har även påpekats att forskningsfältet saknar salutogResearch indicates that children of parents with experience of out-of-home care (OHC) are at higher risk of also spending time in care. Research on parents with experience of OHC is limited, often to the period of adolescence or young adulthood. There is currently no research on the caregiving representations among these parents. Furthermore, it has been claimed that the research field lacks a res
The purpose of this candidate essay is to investigate whether there are any differences in how female and male party leaders are portrayed in news articles. To establish a reasonable level of abstraction, the essay has focused on Nyamko Sabuni and Johan Pehrson as the two party leaders under investigation. By using qualitative content analysis, this essay has developed and utilized a coding scheme
Cities have a crucial importance from the sustainability point of view. More than 50% of the global population lives in cities, therefore urban dwellers’ environmental knowledge can be of critical importance. Many argue that an important part of environmental knowledge is acquired outside of a formal school setting, therefore in this thesis I explore learning processes connected to community garde
Concerns are growing within the field of development as global democracy rates decline. As a solution to how to rebuild democratic systems is currently unclear, this thesis looks at the case of Colombia and the national protests (colloquially referred to as El Paro) that began in April 2021. The nation, suffering from increasing political polarisation, rising poverty rates and crippling structural
Previous research of environmental groups and social movements underline the potential of alliances between groups to increase their aggregate impact. Through a case study of a cooperation between the climate action group Code Rood and the environmental interest organization Groninger Bodem Beweging, the thesis examines cooperation between the European movement for climate justice and locally base
Programmatic vaccination and screening are the reasons for this thesis. The practice of public health incorporating medicine’s cognitive contents along with contributions from other fields of human activities is basically a moral enterprise. It is important that limitations from the whole continuum of these interventions are recognized to retain credibility. The changing demands resulting from the
A set of B(E2) values for the low-lying excited states in the radioactive isotope Sn-109 were deduced from a Coulomb excitation experiment. The 2.87-MeV/u radioactive beam was produced at the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN and was incident on a secondary Ni-58 target. The B(E2) values were determined using the known 2(+) -> 0(+) reduced transition probability in Ni-58 as normalization with the semicl
What does love have to do with gaming? As games have grown in complexity, they have increasingly included narratives that seek to engage players with love in a variety of ways. While media attention often focuses on violent emotions and behavior in gaming, love has always been central to the experience. We love to play games, we have titles that we love, and sometimes we love too much or love terr
Talk in safety-critical activities displays features that distinguish it from both ordinary conversations as well as from other institutional talk, but it also shares some features with these. Formality and informality are both interactionally accomplished phenomena, although shaped through different sources. Safety rules and pre-printed forms constitute two sources of formalization, dictating how
Receptors of the 5-HT2C subtype are assumed to be involved in the influence of serotonin on food intake. A polymorphism in the coding region of the gene for this receptor, resulting in a cysteine to serine substitution, has been reported. Fifty-seven somatically healthy teenage girls displaying weight loss and 91 normal-weight girls of the same age, all recruited by means of a population-based scr
