This article examines the characteristics of asymmetrical conflicts and obstacles to negotiation and mediation. Four barriers are elaborated upon: (a) enduring unilateral actions, (b) contested recognition and leadership status, (c) existential and identity-based framing of conflict and (d) conflicting interpretation of implementation. Consequently, intervention in asymmetric conflicts poses a tre

Relativistic energy projectile fragmentation of Pb-208 has been used to produce a range of exotic nuclei. The nuclei of interest were studied by detecting delayed gamma rays following the decay of isomeric states. Experimental information on the excited states of the neutron-rich N = 126 nucleus, Pt-204, following internal decay of two isomeric states, was obtained for the first time. In addition,

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) have been used to study the absorption of monolayers of the pyridinecarboxylic acid monomers (isonicotinic acid, nicotinic acid, and picolinic acid) and benzoic acid on a rutile TiO2(1 1 0) surface. We find that the pyridine and phenyl rings are oriented with their planes largely perpendicular to the surface. The azimuthal

The SH3 domain of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is preceded by the Tec homology (TH) region containing proline-rich sequences. We have studied a protein fragment containing both the Btk SH3 domain and the proline-rich sequences of the TH region (PRR-SH3). Intermolecular NMR cross-relaxation measurements, gel permeation chromatography profiles, titrations with proline-rich peptides, and N-15 NMR r

We discuss the stochastic dynamics of biological (and other) populations presenting a limit behaviour for large environments (called deterministic limit) and its relation with the dynamics in the limit. The discussion is circumscribed to linearly stable fixed points of the deterministic dynamics, and it is shown that the cases of extinction and non-extinction equilibriums present different feature

This literary analysis is devoted to investigating the mysterious death of José Arcadio in One Hundred Years of Solitude, written by Gabriel García Márquez. The intention is to present a perspective developed by Stephen Slemon in which magical realism is considered in terms of postcolonial discourse, and to apply it to the mentioned episode. Furthermore, the principal objective of the analysis is,

The commercial contracts commonly require an agreed payment clause for nonperformance. This clause provides agreed statement of the amount recovered by the innocent party in case of a breach of contract. The term, agreed payment for non-performance includes two types of clauses, penalty clause and liquidated damages clause. The penalty clause and liquidated damages clause have similar features

This master’s thesis examines the lived experiences of female football supporters in Malmö. The purpose is to investigate how female supporters experience their role as both supporter and female and their space in the stands. Through the method semi-structed interviews, ten female supporters organized in Malmösystrar are heard. A feminist analysis is carried out based on a theoretical framework of

Since the adoption of resolution 1325 there has been an increased focus on womens inclusion in peace processes due to her substantial contribution, as well as a characterized notion of womens particular exposure to sexual violence. Thus making an implicit connection between womens participation and the response towards sexual violence in conflict. In this essay we will challenge the assumption of

To explore the historical relationship between gender equality and economic progress, this study implements two steps. First, it extends the Historical Gender-Equality Index (HGEI), a multidimensional measure of gender gaps originally developed by Dilli, Carmichael, and Rijpma (2019). Second, taking advantage of updated HGEI and a comprehensive longitudinal panel data structure, the effects of gen

This thesis presents a numerical study of the emission of jets by a trapped Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC). The Gross-Pitaevskii equation is used for the simulation of this phenomenon. When the scattering length of a trapped BEC is periodically modulated it emits jets of matter. We study how the pattern of these emitted jets changes when a BEC is trapped in a circular trap, an equilateral triangul
