Measurements of multiparticle azimuthal correlations (cumulants) for charged particles in p-Pb at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV and Pb-Pb at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV collisions are presented. They help address the question of whether there is evidence for global, flowlike, azimuthal correlations in the p-Pb system. Comparisons are made to measurements from the larger Pb-Pb system, where such evidence is esta
In scholarly literature, it is widely acknowledged that ‘the shadow of hierarchy’, hence the threat of disadvantageous Community legislation, is an important con-cept in European social dialogue (ESD), where European social partners – that is organised labour and management – are given the chance to negotiate binding agreements on some aspects of European labour and social policy. While the shadow
The purpose of this thesis is to study the practical application of the Basel II Framework in two Swedish banks of different organisational structure and briefly look at the opinions of the framework now that it has been in use for some time. The theoretical perspectives begin with the concept of risk metaphors. Thereafter criticism towards a number of earlier risk measures is presented. This lead
The access economy is rising in importance in the marketplace. In this conceptual article, we chronicle access practices in market and nonmarket economies. In nonmarket economic systems, access is gained via social exchange and primarily takes the form of sharing. That is, sharing is non-market-mediated access. In the contemporary market economy, economic exchange practices, such as renting, domin
This paper gives an account of the Swedish financial crisis covering the period 1985–2000, dealing with financial deregulation and the boom in the late 1980s, the bust and the financial crisis in the early 1990s, the recovery from the crisis and the bank resolution policy adopted during the crisis. The paper focuses on three issues: the causes and consequences of the financial crisis, the policy rThis paper gives an account of the Swedish financial crisis covering the period 1985–2000, dealing with financial deregulation and the boom in the late 1980s, the bust and the financial crisis in the early 1990s, the recovery from the crisis and the bank resolution policy adopted during the crisis.

In a recent experiment, the partial half-life (t1/2) of proton emission from the Iπ = 19/2- state of 53Co was accurately measured. A previous estimate is t1/2 ~ 17 s. The purpose of this thesis was to explain this decay and give a theoretical estimate for the dominating hindrance factors. The angular momentum J in 53Co is coupled to J = 6 for the neutrons, and J = 7/2 for the protons. All of this
An increasing amount of people living under the control of armed groups begged the question on the human rights obligations by armed groups in situation of protracted armed conflict. Traditionally, international human rights treaties only impose obligations on states. This raises concerns about the protection vacuum as well as accountability of the armed groups. A new phenomenon also emerged where
Under början av förra seklet skedde en formlig reception av tysk processrätt genom Ernst Kallenbergs verk Svensk Civilprocessrätt i två band. Således kom läran om processföremålet genom 1942 års processreform att läggas till grund för utformningen av den svenska rättegångsbalken (RB). Läran om processföremålet innebär att saken är den omtvistade rättigheten i det bakom-liggande rättsförhållande soAt the turn of the last century, a formal reception of German procedural law took place through Ernst Kallenberg’s work ’Svensk Civilprocessrätt’ in two volumes. Thereby, the German doctrine on the essence of the claim formed the basis for the Swedish Code of Procedure, rättegångsbalken (RB), through the procedural reform of 1942. The doctrine on the essence of the claim holds that the matter cont
This qualitative case-study highlights the importance of the phenomenon of migration, under the aspect of civic activism of migrants, and its impact on Italian agricultural sustainable development. Migrants are too often seen as a burden rather than active agents of development. The present research investigates how political activism of migrants develops and eventually affects the sustainable dev
This thesis examines the wealthiest individuals in 19th century Sweden. The specific questions asked are which sectors of the economy these individuals accumulated their wealth in; and to what extent they belonged to the nobility. The thesis also further investigate whether the wealthiest were overrepresented as high ranking politicians such as ministers, members of parliament and mayors. The econ
The purpose of this Master’s Thesis is to develop a model for numerical simulations in order to kinetically characterize different Medium Calorific- Low Calorific Value (MCV-LCV) fuel gas mixtures. Adding fuel components with a very low heating value or inert species affect the stability of the standard gas turbine combustor design. Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery (SIT) believes that increasing
The formation of the hexagonal ordered mesoporous SBA-15 material has been invetsigated. The evolution from free spherical micelles into an ordered material was studied with time-resolved in-situ SAXS, USAXS and SANS measurements. Both the mesoscopic region and the colloidal region were monitored. Temperature, precursor and salt additions have been varied. From the time-resolved measurements the e
High fidelity Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are performed on a non-premixed hydrogen-air annular rotating detonation combustor. The simulations utilize a 22-step hydrogen-air reaction mechanism and an existing flow solver that is optimized for high-speed reacting flows. The selected combustor, designed by the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), has been extensively studied experimentally acros
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) targeting quercetin were prepared from 4-vinylpyridine and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) under various solvent systems with the aim to form MIPs with high recognition for the quercetin molecule in aqueous systems at high temperature. A MIP prepared from the three-component solvent mixture of THF/H2O/MeOH showed potential in its application for the determinati
Mental health disorders are a rapidly growing public health problem. Despite the fact that lack of trust in the health-care system is considered to be an important determinant of health, there is scarcity of empirical evidence demonstrating its associations with health outcomes. This is the first study which aims to evaluate the association between trust in the health-care system and psychological
