We have studied the dependence of azimuthal anisotropy nu(2) for inclusive and identified charged hadrons in Au + Au and Cu + Cu collisions on collision energy, species, and centrality. The values of nu(2) as a function of transverse momentum pT and centrality in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 and 62.4 GeV are the same within uncertainties. However, in Cu + Cu collisions we observe a decre

As an international actor it is preferable to make an effort to understand how your performance affects the long-term sustainability, both in local and global terms. Sustainability includes subjects such as integration between economical, social and environmental spheres. It can be achieved by reorganizing living conditions, reappraising economic sectors and work practices, develop technologies in
Frigoscandia Freezer AB have seen themselves as an entrepreneur company for a long time, but have lately begun to realise that they have to go against a more administrative era. With that insight they have begun to examine their enterprise in order to achieve this. The division Team Spare Parts has started a project with the intention of checking-up the inventory management, and improving it for t
This thesis investigates the ability of retailers to communicate sustainable products through sustainability marketing. Sustainable products are defined as products that "make a contribution to the solution of socio-ecological problems" (Belz, 2005). Whereas traditional marketing aims at increasing business revenues, sustainability marketing aims at reaching sustainability and business g
In this paper I have focused on the underlying reasons for people and piracy. The paper starts with a presentation of the Swedish laws of copyright as they are constituted today and the new law that is supposedly being ordained the 1st of July, 2005, a brief summary of what its effects will be for the people, according to the authorities and the critisism that has developed around it from the net-
Resolving fast events, such as electron dynamics, requires short light pulses. To this date the shortest available light pulses are created using High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) and have a duration of a few hundred attoseconds (1 as = $10^{-18}$ s). When used for pump-probe experiments, these pulses are generated in an interferometer, which needs to be stable for the experiment to yield high
Within the systematically complex genus Sorbus, repeated hybridization, polyploidization and apomixis has led to a series of intermediate and evolutionary independent species. Sorbus intermedia (Ehrh.) Pers. (Swedish whitebeam) and S hybrida L. (Swedish service tree) are endemic to the Fennoscandian region and are both apomictic polyploid hybrids derived from diploid sexual species. However, their
Global migration of both skilled and unskilled persons from developing countries to developed countries is on the increase and to understand the underlying factors behind the increase, this research examines how migration theories like pull-push factors of migration, world system theory and Maslow’s hierarchy of need explain those factors that cause migration among Nigerian university workers. I r
Seagrasses are important components of marine ecosystem. They are a primary food source for many organisms and provide shelter and nursery areas for many more. Also they stabilize sediments and act as a natural barrier against coastal erosion. But despite their valuable rule, Seagrasses are facing large threats because of human development. The stresses caused by human activities like trawling and
Den vanligaste indirekta vinstfördelningsmetoden är den så kallade genomsnittsvärdeprincipen som används för att beräkna ersättning vid tomtbildning. I vissa fall ger genomsnittsvärdeprincipen ett oskäligt resultat och ska då, enligt 5 kap. 11 § fastighetsbildningslagen, jämkas. I litteraturen framkommer det att ersättningen bör jämkas då mark frångår eller tillförs redan bebyggd fastighet - frågaThe most common indirect profit allocation method is the principle of average value which is used to calculate the compensation in plot forming. In some cases the principle of average value gives an unreasonable compensation and should in such cases be adjusted, according to the Property Formation Act ch. 5 art. 11. The literature states that the compensation should be adjusted when land is suppli
Unga lagöverträdare har sedan lång tid tillbaka innehaft en särställning i det svenska påföljdssystemet. Den som begår brott innan tjugoett års ålder behandlas idag annorlunda än den vuxne lagöverträdaren. Bland annat får den unge lagöverträdaren sitt straff reducerat genom den så kallade ungdomsrabatten, åtnjuter särskilt skydd mot frihetsberövande påföljder och kan dömas till särskilda påföljderJuvenile delinquents have had a special position in the Swedish penal system for a long time. Today, a person committing a crime before the age of twenty-one will be treated differently than an adult offender. Inter alia, the juvenile delinquent gets a reduced sanction because of the “juvenile discount”, benefits a higher threshold for being sentenced to custodial sanctions, and can be sentenced t
The main goal of the project was to decrease the cooling time of a diamond anvil cell (DAC) by modifying an existing design. Modifications included change of materials, overall dimensions and a significant reduction of mass together with additional suggestions for decreased cool time. The initial design was known to function with current materials and dimensions. The first step of the thesis was
The unpredictable behaviour of financial time series has long been a concern for econometricians, making it difficult to find appropriate models with a satisfactory fit. The Markov regime switching model is a popular approach, much in behalf of the way it takes the shifts in the time series behaviour into account. The model in this thesis is based on a mixture of normal distributions, extended to
Antibiotic resistance is an ever growing problem, and is considered one of the major challenges of modern medicine. In order to avoid further development and spread of multiresistance among bacteria, the use of antibiotics should be more restrictive, and more tailored to individual cases of infection. To facilitate more directed treatments, it is crucial to be able to quickly and reliably identify
The thesis focuses on the agency of young Indonesian women audiences promoted by an Indonesia television talk show, Mata Najwa. The aim of the thesis is understanding the engagement of young Indonesian women with the programme and how they acquire knowledge from this public discussion talk show as their resource in having civic talk about political and social issues in Indonesia. It also explores
It is becoming more and more common to exercise regularly, and with this new fitness trend follows more exercise applications to our smartphones. Applications aiming to help us exercise by structuring and logging our training. The user experience for these applications can be a little bit dull, since most of the applications depend on the user following instructions and entering input of the resul
Numerous mismatch repair (MMR) gene variants have been identified in Lynch syndrome and other cancer patients, but knowledge about their pathogenicity is frequently missing. The diagnosis and treatment of patients would benefit from knowing which variants are disease related. Bioinformatic approaches are well suited to the problem and can handle large numbers of cases. Functional effects were reve
While never a numerically significant religion, the idea of Satanism is intimately intertwined with a number of broader issues relevant for the study of religion and culture. The notion of devil-worshipping cults has been a surprisingly stable element of conspiracy theories, historically as well as in the present, and accusations of being in league with demonic forces is a recurring motif in relig
There has been a decrease in sea ice extent and volume in the polar regions during the past decades; this study focuses on the Northern Hemisphere. The variability of the sea ice extent along the east coast of Greenland is examined and the area is divided into three regional zones to be able to study variations in the correlation strength along the coast. The ice extent along the east coast is ach
