Det kinesiska samhället har blivit alltmer baserat på lag och rätt. Men tyvärr efterlevs inte lagarna. Kommunistpartiets maktmonopol är inte enda hindret för att implementera lagar. Med i bilden finns också svaga institutioner, oklara maktbefogenheter, korruption och bristande kunskaper i rättsfrågor. Den snabba ekonomiska utvecklingen har exempelvis lett till att lokalregeringar ser mellan fingra

Safety performance functions are frequently used to describe the relation of various factors to the number of accidents, often focusing on exposure of vulnerable road users. Those studies require reliable data regarding exposure, but collecting such data is resource demanding, often resulting in short observational periods. This might produce measurement errors, influencing the reliability of the

Project retrospectives can be powerful tools for project teams to collectively identify communication gaps and practices to improve for future projects. However, even if project members take the time for a retrospective, it can be hard to correctly remember and jointly discuss past events in a constructive way. Fact-based timelines that visualize a project's events offer a possible solution.

Background: Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a post-transcriptional RNA surveillance process that facilitates the recognition and destruction of mRNAs bearing premature terminations codons (PTCs). Such PTC-containing (PTC+) mRNAs may arise from different processes, including erroneous processing and expression of pseudogenes, but also from more regulated events such as alternative splicing co

The ALICE Collaboration has measured inclusive J/psi production in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 2.76 TeV at the LHC. The results presented in this Letter refer to the rapidity ranges vertical bar y vertical bar < 0.9 and 2.5 < y

This article discusses how Chicago police representatives have expressed their understanding of the events at haymarket Square on the 4th of May, 1886 and the commemoration of the bombing and its aftermath in trials and hangings.

Recension av en existentiell biografi om drottning Victoria, som fokuserar mycket på hennes religiösa liv och hennes pliktmedvetande, samt illustrerar hur hon kan betraktas som tillhörande "förlorarnas historia".

Internal communication is often regarded as a management tool that can be organized and used to improve organizational results. This traditional, and simplistic view is problematic since organizational reality is becoming more and more complex and fluid. The aim of this article is to propose an emergent co-worker perspective that can increase our understanding of internal communication in times of

Sound production in fish is widespread and occurs in several contexts, such as species recognition, mate choice, and aggression. However, there is little experimental evidence for the importance of acoustic signals in social contexts and the influence of sound on mating decisions of females. Cichlid fish are known for their bright nuptial coloration, which plays an important role in mate choice an

The partial ternary phase diagram of anionic extended surfactant of alkyl polypropylene oxide sulfate C-12(PO)(4)SO4 alone and combined with the cationic hydrotrope, tetrabutyl ammonium bromide with water and decane were determined under ambient conditions. Middle phase microemulsion was formulated using salinity scans in the dilute region of surfactant/brine/decane. Visual inspection as well as c

Soil nutrients and light have major effects on the economics of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses. This study tests the main and interactive effects of soil fertility and light on AM fungal community. We conducted a 3 year mesocosm experiment with a full two factorial design: light (full light or shade) and soil fertility (unfertilized or fertilized), on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Plant trai

Relativistic projectile fragmentation of a Pb-208 primary beam has been used to produce neutron-rich nuclei with proton-holes relative to the Z = 82 shell closure, i.e., "south" of Pb. beta-delayed gamma-ray spectroscopy allows to investigate the structural properties of such nuclei with A similar to 195 -> 205. The current work presents transitions de-exciting excited states in Au-204, which are

The Intermediate Data Structure (IDS) is a standardised database structure for longitudinal historical databases. Such a common structure facilitates data sharing and comparative research. In this study, we propose an extended version of IDS, named IDS-Geo, that also includes geographic data. The geographic data that will be stored in IDS-Geo are primarily buildings and/or property units, and the

I rapporten görs en genomgång av beständighetsrelaterade regler i statliga betongbestämmelser och standarder från 1926 och framåt.

Photoemission spectra show that Be(0001) surface states shift to lower energy with increasing Na or K coverage in the monolayer range. At an intermediate monolayer coverage a quantum well state appears near the Fermi edge and shifts to lower energy reaching saturation energy at full monolayer coverage. At full monolayer coverage low energy electron diffraction shows 2 X 2 order for K while Na form

Using a simplified model for in-medium dipole evolution accounting for color filtering effects we study the production of hadrons at large transverse momenta p(T) in heavy ion collisions. In the framework of this model, several important sources of the nuclear suppression observed recently at RHIC and LHC have been analyzed. A short production length of the leading hadron l(p) causes a strong onse

This article explores the symbolic aspects of change agency on a learning platform designed to facilitate system-wide transformation in cancer care. A sensemaking-sensegiving perspective is adopted to analyse the construction of meaning amongst of the leader of a regional cancer centre, senior physicians and an action research team in relation to patient-centred care. The analysis suggests that th
