In his ‘Provocation in Philosophy and Art’ Dan Egonsson argues that provocation is integral to Socrates’ way of doing philosophy both when aiming for (the interlocutor’s) personal moral development and as an instrument for societal change, and that provocation in art differs significantly from its Socratic counterpart. Morally dubious provocation in art can, however, Egonsson argues be justified o

Antibodies play a central role in the immune defense against SARS-CoV-2. Emerging evidence has shown that nonneutralizing antibodies are important for immune defense through Fc-mediated effector functions. Antibody subclass is known to affect downstream Fc function. However, whether the antibody subclass plays a role in anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunity remains unclear. Here, we subclass-switched eight hum

Haemophilia B (HB) is a rare inherited bleeding disorder caused by the deficiency of coagulation factor IX (FIX). The major clinical issues are bleedings, often targeting the joints, and the development of neutralising antibodies, i.e. inhibitors, to the FIX replacement therapy. Historically HB has been seen as identical to the more common haemophilia A (HA), i.e. deficiency of coagulation factor

The extent to which plants thermoregulate to maintain relatively stable metabolic function in response to gradual and rapid temperature changes that jeopardize crop production is unclear. Maize thermoregulation was investigated based on leaf temperature (TL) measurements and its relationship with photochemistry and stomatal conductance (gs) under dry and wet soil scenarios. Seasonal climatology wa

Införandet av människoexploateringsbrottet i 4 kap. 1 b § BrB aktualiserar ett antal frågor som tidigare inte behandlats i praxis. Bestämmelsen prövades för första gången av Högsta domstolen i NJA 2022 s. 23, vilket är det avgörande denna artikel kommenterar. Författaren visar att domstolen ställt upp en ordning för hur prövningen ska gå till, diskuterar innebörden av rekvisitet exploatering samt

We discuss our recent results on azimuthal distributions in vector boson + jets and multi-jet production at the LHC, obtained from the matching of next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative matrix elements with transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton branching. We present a comparative analysis of boson-jet and jet-jet correlations in the back-to-back region, and a study of the theoretical system

The ATLAS physics program at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) calls for a precision in the luminosity measurement of ±1%. A larger uncertainty would represent the dominant systematic error in some precision measurements, including the Higgs sector. To fulfil such requirement in an environment characterized by up to 140 simultaneous interactions per bunch crossing (200 in the ultimate scenario), AT

Quark spin effects in hadronization have been recently included in the PYTHIA 8 event generator for the simulation of the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) process off a polarized nucleon target via the external StringSpinner package. The spin effects can be simulated for the production of pseudoscalar mesons using the string+3P0 model of polarized quark fragmentation and parametrizations of the tra
