Measurement of electroweak Z(νν¯) γjj production and limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The electroweak production of Z(νν¯) γ in association with two jets is studied in a regime with a photon of high transverse momentum above 150 GeV using proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis uses a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 collected by the ATLAS detector during the 2015–2018 LHC data-taking period. This

Kollektivavtalens täckningsgrad och vita fläckar

Inledningsvis diskuteras olika fördelar med kollektivavtal ur såväl arbetsgivarnas som de anställdas perspektiv samt varför en del arbetsgivare upplever att det finns problem med kollektivavtalet som gäller i deras bransch. Helt nytt är att andelen anställda med kollektivavtal för första gången redovisas per bransch. Dessa tabeller bygger på uppgifter från utredningen om förutsättningarna för en n

The evolutionary history of “suboptimal” migration routes

Migratoriness in birds is evolutionary labile, with many examples of increasing or decreasing migration distances on the timescale of modern ornithology. In contrast, shifts of migration to more nearby wintering grounds seem to be a slow process. We examine the history of how Palearctic migratory landbirds have expanded their wintering ranges to include both tropical Africa and Asia, a process tha

Updating the Definition of Cancer

Most definitions of cancer broadly conform to the current NCI definition: "Cancer is a disease in which some of the body's cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body." These definitions tend to describe what cancer "looks like" or "does" but do not describe what cancer "is" or "has become." While reflecting past insights, current definitions have not kept pace with the underst

Anaerobic fixed-target serial crystallography using sandwiched silicon nitride membranes

In recent years, the emergence of serial crystallography, initially pioneered at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs), has sparked a growing interest in collecting macromolecular crystallographic data at room temperature. Various fixed-target serial crystallography techniques have been developed, ranging from commercially available chips to in-house designs implemented at different synchrotron facil

Magnitude of extended high frequency hearing loss associated with auditory related tinnitus distress, when controlling for magnitude of hearing loss at standard frequenciesa)

Impaired thresholds at extended high frequencies (EHF) are tightly linked to the prevalence of tinnitus, but little is known about how EHF status relates to tinnitus characteristics. In the present study, 93 individuals with tinnitus underwent standard (from 0.125 to 8 kHz) and EHF (from 10 to 16 kHz) audiometry and indicated their degree of tinnitus distress by completing the tinnitus functional

Evaluation of biosensors and flow cytometry as monitoring tools in lignocellulosic bioethanol production

The significant environmental impact of the current fossil fuel-based industry is a major concern for society. Consequently, various initiatives are being undertaken to establish a more sustainable industrial model. One example is via the transition from conventional fossil fuel refineries to biorefineries, where renewable raw materials are utilised. Amongst these raw materials, the use of lignoce

Putting the 'theory' back into grounded theory : Guidelines for grounded theory studies in information systems

Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the use of grounded theory in information systems research. Grounded theory is a qualitative research method that seeks to develop theory that is grounded in data systematically gathered and analysed. The purpose of this paper is to suggest guidelines for grounded theory studies in information systems. Our guidelines are based on a framew

Increased cerebrovascular mortality in patients with hypopituitarism

OBJECTIVE: An increased prevalence of atherosclerosis has been shown among patients with hypopituitarism. The aim of the present study was to assess whether patients with hypopituitarism experience increased cardiovascular, in particular cerebrovascular, mortality.DESIGN AND PATIENTS: Retrospective cohort study of mortality, 1952-1992, in 344 patients, of whom 130 were female, receiving convention

Serum levels of insulin-like growth factor I and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 correlate with serum free testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin levels in healthy young and middle-aged men

OBJECTIVE: Administration of testosterone has been reported to increase serum levels of IGF-I in men with isolated hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism. An inverse relation between serum IGF-I and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is seen in GH deficient children. The biological action of IGF-I is thought to be influenced by binding proteins, one of which is insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-

A critical typology of "good place branding" : Lessons from place-branding expertise

Place branding is defined as “the development of brands for geographic locationswith the aim of triggering positive associations about the area and distinguishinga place from other places” (Stevens et al., 2020, p. 752). Like all occupations,place branding is organised by discourses, or talk, that determine best practices andnorms about what constitutes expertise (Loacker and Sullivan, 2016). Expl

Suppressed plasma prolactin response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone in hyperthyroidism reproduced by thyroxine but not by triiodothyronine administration to normal subjects

In 10 hyperthyroid women studied in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, basal plasma PRL was normal, but PRL release after TRH was significantly suppressed compared with that in 11 control women. The suppressed PRL response to TRH was not explained by changes in serum estradiol or sex hormone-binding globulin. It recovered after treatment of hyperthyroidism. When normal women were treated

Social media in the context of development : A case study of Dutch NGOs

This paper presents views of six Dutch development NGOs on possibilities and threats of social media for their work. A systematic analysis of the literature and the systematic analysis of the interviews yield an interesting theoretical framework in which social media characteristics are cross-referenced with NGO organisational characteristics. The resulting preliminary framework of emerging themes

Fader Gunnar - Prästen som inte ville betala skatt

"Jag vill inte ha något arvode för mina tjänster", sa Fader Gunnar. "Skänk en slant till min kyrka i stället!" Men när en taxeringsintendent upptäcker arrangemanget blir prästen anklagad för att vara skattesmitare, och hamnar i en rättegång som leder ända till Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen.

Free-Energy Landscape and Rate Estimation of the Aromatic Ring Flips in Basic Pancreatic Trypsin Inhibitors Using Metadynamics

Aromatic side chains (phenylalanine and tyrosine) of a protein flip by 180° around the Cβ-Cγ axis (χ2 dihedral of the side chain), producing two symmetry-equivalent states. The study of ring flip dynamics with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments helps to understand local conformational fluctuations. Ring flips are categorized as slow (milliseconds and onward) or fast (nanoseconds to near
