Given a fixed small graph H and a larger graph G, an H-factor is a collection of vertex-disjoint subgraphs H′⊂G, each isomorphic to H, that cover the vertices of G. If G is the complete graph Kn equipped with independent U(0,1) edge weights, what is the lowest total weight of an H-factor? This problem has previously been considered for e.g. H=K2. We show that if H contains a cycle, then the minimu

This paper sheds light on the existence of a differential deterrence regime in EU law, depending on whether the State or the firm is the addressee of a legal obligation. To that end, we review two areas of EU law – environmental law and competition law. Both disciplines employ fines to deter the State and the firm respectively from violating their specific duties under the Treaty: the ‘duty to tra

The current European situation is marked by an ongoing migration crisis. On a daily basis we are informed of the ever-increasing number of migrants trying to reach Europe’s border – too often with fatal results. The European Court ofJustice, once described as “tucked away in the fairyland Duchy ofLuxembourg”, is today faced with difficult legal questions concerning EU asylum law – the present case

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The evidence that dyslipidemia is associated with hyperglycemia calls for an investigation of whether dyslipidemia, as well as lipid-modifying agents, could affect the subsequent development of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Therefore, we aimed to address these unanswered questions by utilizing Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.METHODS: Genetic variants were selected from the

År 2018 kom Sameh Egyptsons uppmärksammade bok, "Holy White Lies -The Muslim Brotherhood in the West - Case Sweden", ut på arabiska och engelska. Första delen av översättningen heter Erövringen (2020) och handlar om hur Muslimska Brödraskapet, MB framställer sig som ett religiöst samfund samtidigt som de försöker ta sig in i partier och erövra positioner på den svenska politiska arenan.

Background Closed-ended rating scales are the most used response format for researchers and clinicians to quantify mental states, whereas in natural contexts people communicate with natural language. The reason for using such scales is that they are typically argued to be more precise in measuring mental constructs; however, the respondents’ views as to what best communicates mental states are fre

High-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) and low-energy photoemission spectra of oxygen molecules have been measured for investigating the electronic structure of Rydberg states in the O 1s → σ∗ energy region. The electronic characteristics of each Rydberg state have been successfully observed, and new assignments are made for several states. The RIXS spectra clearly show that vi
