The paradigm shift of focus from rental apartments to owner occupied units on the Swedish property market has led to a substantial number of rental apartments being converted to cooperative apartments. Such conversions typically are done at prices far below market value. This provides a setting with strong financial incentives for tenants involved in such a conversion to take advantage of their in

The neoliberal notion of employability has risen to prominence over the past 20 years, having been positioned as the crux of national, organizational and individual prosperity. To be employable, individuals are increasingly called upon to be self-reliant; aligning themselves to the conditions of an ostensibly fast-moving and precarious global economy. This special issue of ephemera calls attention

The revision of Pilosella presented by the author in 2001 is here updated with new records and taxa, and recent international advancements in the field are briefly presented and discussed. The taxonomy of the previous revision, based on the "genotypic cluster species concept" of Mallet and the principles that species should be circumscribed as groups of individuals whose intermediates are rare and

Historic differences in livelihoods, work roles and the access to resources lead to differences in how women and men are exposed to and impacted by climate change. Policymakers and civil society groups have come to realize that gender matters in the governance of climate issues and there is an emerging scholarship in this field. However, the attention is mainly on women, rather than on gender, for

Recently there is an increasing interest in the understanding of the Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) phenomenon in porous media. The complex electrical conductivity of porous geological materials has a frequency dependent behavior than can be associated to three main mechanisms: Maxwell-Wagner (MW) polarization, Membrane polarization, Electrical double layer (EDL) polarization. This paper aims

Globally, large international research infrastructures have over many decades promoted excellence in science and technology. Aligned with the international practice, the Europe Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) has developed and keeps updating a roadmap for research infrastructures. The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) is one of the two large scale Laser Research Infrastructure

REDD is one of the latest additions to a series of incentive-based mechanisms for reducing carbon emissions. Although international negotiations have not eliminated uncertainties regarding its social, economic and political implications, many developing and emerging countries have begun to engage in REDD. Peru, the country with the world’s fourth largest tropical forest area has good reason to par

Experiments were performed on various combustion devices to investigate the flames employing different optical measurement techniques under atmospheric pressure conditions. Non-intrusive laser-based techniques provided in-situ information concerning different parameters of the combustion process, with a high degree of temporal and spatial resolution. In the thesis work, different parameters of int

The analysis of the momentum difference between charged hadrons in high-energy proton-proton collisions is performed in order to study coherent particle production. The observed correlation pattern agrees with a model of a helical QCD string fragmenting into a chain of ground-state hadrons. A threshold momentum difference in the production of adjacent pairs of charged hadrons is observed, in agree

About music in Swedish children's films and its representation and construction of childhood, gender and ethnicity.

This paper presents single lepton and dilepton kinematic distributions measured in dileptonic tt¯ events produced in 20.2fb - 1 of s=8 TeV pp collisions recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Both absolute and normalised differential cross-sections are measured, using events with an opposite-charge eμ pair and one or two b-tagged jets. The cross-sections are measured in a fiducial region cor

We investigate the relation between crystal stacking faults in individual wurtzite InAs and GaAs nanowires and the intensity of the forbidden longitudinal optical (LO) phonon mode in the Raman spectra. Micro-Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy are combined on the same individual nanowires to evaluate the LO mode intensity as a function of the stacking fault density. A clear inc

It has been shown that long-range p-wave superconductivity in a Kitaev chain can be engineered via an ac field with a high frequency [M. Benito, Phys. Rev. B 90, 205127 (2014)PRBMDO1098-012110.1103/PhysRevB.90.205127]. For its experimental realization, however, theoretical understanding of Floquet engineering with a broader range of driving frequencies becomes important. In this paper, focusing on
