In 1999, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) board sanctioned an internal report into how the organisation should look in 2010. It was conducted by the successor generation of faststream diplomats and was eventually completed in 2000. The Foresight Report was never released into the public domain, and indeed its existence was not openly acknowledged for a further 3 years. In particular, a

The Swedish Number is a 2016 marketing campaign by an independent tourist association that relies heavily on a developing heritage of Swedish nation branding initiatives. It uses media technologies to encourage citizen participation in promoting Swedish values, partly for the purpose of showing the country’s authentic side and partly for generating publicity. This article conducts a case study of

This paper studies the disturbance rejection problem for sampled-data control systems, where disturbance signal occurs below and above the Nyquist frequency simultaneously. Two discrete-time controllers are designed via H∞ optimal control in two steps; at first a controller is designed to reject the low-frequency components, and then we construct the generalized plant including the first controlle

Most adpositions in North Sámi are postpositions – they follow their complements in the surface order. Nouns, on the other hand, invariably precede their complements. Strikingly, when the nominal complement of a postposition has its own complement, the complement of the noun follows after the postposition, so that the nominal phrase ends up being discontinuous,split by the postposition. This is an

Differences and similarities were studied in the functions of two differentself-injurious behaviors (SIB): nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and sex as selfinjury(SASI). Based on type of SIB reported, adolescents were classified in oneof three groups: NSSI only (n = 910), SASI only (n = 41), and both NSSI andSASI (n = 76). There was support for functional equivalence in the two formsof SIB, with auto

Barnen påverkas när en förälder är psykiskt sjuk. Hälso- och sjukvårdslagenändrades 2010 så att deras behov av information, råd och stöd ska beaktas.Artikeln presenterar en registerstudie som genomfördes 2013 och 2014inom vuxenpsykiatrin i Region Skåne för att undersöka hur lagstiftningenföljs i den kliniska vardagen. Resultaten visade att få insatser gavs i de falldå barnen hade uppmärksammats oc

This Letter presents the measurement of differential cross sections of isolated prompt photons produced in association with a b-jet or a c-jet. These final states provide sensitivity to the heavy-flavour content of the proton and aspects related to the modelling of heavy-flavour quarks in perturbative QCD. The measurement uses proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV record

A search for an invisibly decaying Higgs boson or dark matter candidates produced in association with a leptonically decaying Z boson in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV is presented. This search uses 36.1 fb−1 of data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant deviation from the expectation of the Standard Model backgrounds is observed. Assuming the Standar

This letter presents the first measurement of jet mass in Pb–Pb and p–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV and sNN=5.02 TeV, respectively. Both the jet energy and the jet mass are expected to be sensitive to jet quenching in the hot Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) matter created in nuclear collisions at collider energies. Jets are reconstructed from charged particles using the anti-kT jet algorithm and reso

Cancer can be regarded as an invasive organ that exhibits unique plasticity provided by coordinated, cancer cell-stromal cell communication in the tumour microenvironment. Typical stress factors in the tumour niche, such as hypoxia and acidosis, are major drivers and modulators of these events. Recent findings reveal an important role of extracellular vesicles and lipoproteins in cancer cell adapt
