While prior research has gleaned important insight into consumers’ social media engagement, an important literature-based tension exists that warrants further attention. On the one hand, females are increasingly empowered (e.g., through their rising spending power). On the other hand, advertising-based gender stereotypes persist, thus limiting female consumers’ empowerment and decelerating adverti

This thesis is composed of four papers, the first two show the attempts made to extend the Pythia event generator to simulate heavy-ion collision events. The other two papers show methods to improve the hadronization mechanism in the Pythia model for a bettter agreement with the experimental data of pp and heavy-ion collisions.Paper I introduces a new model named Angantyr for heavy-ion collision e

Real-time measurement of soil water content (θ) and pore electrical conductivity (ECp) is essential to improve water irriga-tion efficiency and agricultural productivity. Low-cost frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) sensors are now representinga powerful tool for irrigation management purposes. However, compared to the time domain reflectometry (TDR), FDRsensors’ accuracy to predict θ and ECp is

The European Open Science Cloud is a pan-European initiative that aims at developing a federated infrastructure that supports scientific research and Open Science. Having the FAIR principles at the core of Open Science practices, the Environmental Research Infrastructures (ENVRIs) that operate in Europe collaborate at cluster level (the ENVRI cluster) continuously improving the FAIRness of their s

This special edition magazine is a collection of short essays aiming to empower students and teachers who advocate for heterodox economics teaching. The magazine presents innovative ways to introduce heterodox content in the classroom and shares exercises that incorporate real-world issues. It is also a collective thinking exercise on how to strategize for needed curriculum changes, notably throug

Introduction/Background Completetumor resection is the most relevant prognostic factor for overall survival in high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients. The current standard for classification of postoperative residual disease is surgeon´s subjective evaluation at the end of surgery. Thus, a reliable objective predictive marker is currently missing.MethodologyIn this prospective single-ce

Syftet med denna studie är att få en ökad förståelse för hur ickeval framställs i en kontext som förespråkar valfrihet. Detta utvecklas genom att undersöka hur ickeval av utförare inom äldreomsorgen framställs i nationella policydokument. Med begreppet ”ickeval” avses att ett val av utförare uteblir eller starkt begränsas. Det empiriska materialet består av tio dokument om valfrihet som skrivits u

Model tests have shown that by building a shallow dam at the outlet the discharge from the upper reservoir can be distributed over such a large width that the kinetic energy is dissipated before the flow reaches levels deeper than 10 m. Since the summer thermocline is situated at 15 m and the epilimnion is homothermal the discharge does not affect the thermal stratification of the lake during the
