Eugenics and Pragmatism : F.C.S. Schiller's Philosophical Politics

The British philosopher F. C. S. Schiller (1864–1937) was a leading pragmatist in the early twentieth century. His critiques of formal logic and his attempts to construct a humanist logic, derived from an anti-foundationalist humanism, are recognized as lasting philosophical achievements. But scholars have failed to consider that Schiller was passionately committed to the British eugenics movement

Multiple discrimination at work: Gaining entry to the Swedish workforce

This article discusses the role played by the law in personal experiences of marginalization from Swedish society from the perspective of sociology of law through the framework of intersectional. Like many legal issues, discrimination dwells in the world of everyday life, work life, and society. While most of the social sciences deploy a varied array of methods and methodological approaches, acros

The Gaia-ESO Survey : The present-day radial metallicity distribution of the Galactic disc probed by pre-main-sequence clusters

Context. The radial metallicity distribution in the Galactic thin disc represents a crucial constraint for modelling disc formation and evolution. Open star clusters allow us to derive both the radial metallicity distribution and its evolution over time. Aims. In this paper we perform the first investigation of the present-day radial metallicity distribution based on [Fe/H] determinations in late

Multi-Grid detector for neutron spectroscopy : Results obtained on time-of-flight spectrometer CNCS

The Multi-Grid detector technology has evolved from the proof-of-principle and characterisation stages. Here we report on the performance of the Multi-Grid detector, the MG.CNCS prototype, which has been installed and tested at the Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer, CNCS at SNS. This has allowed a side-by-side comparison to the performance of 3He detectors on an operational instrument. The demonst

Annealing of Au, Ag and Au-Ag alloy nanoparticle arrays on GaAs (100) and (111)B

Metal nanoparticles (NPs), in particular gold NPs, are often used in the fabrication process of semiconductor nanowires. Besides being able to induce the 1D crystallization of new material, it is highly beneficial if the NPs can be used to dictate the position and diameter of the final nanowire structure. To achieve well-defined NP arrays of varying diameter and pitch distances for nanowire growth

Gated Hall effect measurements on selectively grown InGaAs nanowires

InGaAs nanowires is one of the promising material systems of replacing silicon in future CMOS transistors, due to its high electron mobility in combination with the excellent electrostatic control from the tri-gate geometry. In this article, we report on gated Hall measurements on single and multiple In0.85Ga0.15As nanowires, selectively grown in a Hall bridge geometry with nanowire widths down to

Absorption and transmission of light in III-V nanowire arrays for tandem solar cell applications

III-V semiconductor nanowires are a platform for next-generation photovoltaics. An interesting research direction is to embed a nanowire array in a transparent polymer, either to act as a stand-alone flexible solar cell, or to be stacked on top of a conventional Si bottom cell to create a tandem structure. To optimize the tandem cell performance, high energy photons should be absorbed in the nanow

Reflexivt ledarskap

Ett reflexivt ledarskap handlar om att överväga vad vi menar med ledarskap, vad det kan göra och inte göra, när det kan fungera och när det inte är bästa alternativet. Författarnas ambition är att uppmuntra chefer och andra att tänka både bredare och djupare om hur man bäst samordnar arbete i moderna organisationer. I detta ingår att även lyfta fram och diskutera alternativen till ledarskap.Boken
