Europa som nation : En ny stil i nationalismens genre

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utgångspunkten för denna avhandling är passet som det utformades och användes i den Europeiska Unionen från 1999 till 2001, närmare bestämt som en förutsättning för att få passera EU:s yttre gränser och som en symbol för ett förenat Europa fritt från medlemsstaternas spektakulära nationalism. Enligt nationalismen skulle varje nation ha sin egen stat och varje stat skulThe vantage point for this thesis is the passport as it was understood and used in the European Union from 1999 to 2001, as a requirement to cross the external borders of the EU and as a symbol of a united Europe free from a spectacular nationalism of the member states. According to nationalism, every nation should have its own state, and every state should be legitimized by a nation. If the mode

Network imitation to deal with socio-cultural dilemmas in acquisitions of young, innovative firms

This article expands current acquisition literature to include sociocultural challenges on inter-organizational levels following acquisitions of young, innovative firms. Socioculture here denotes network parties' shared values, belief systems, and practices. Three acquisitions illustrate their consequences. The young, innovative firms and their acquirers are part of different networks, have dissim

Skriftpraktiker, diskursiva praktiker och analytisk konsekvens

Literacy practice and discursive practice are two distinct concepts, belonging to different research traditions (new literacy studies, NLS, and critical discourse analysis, CDA). This article is an effort to enlighten the discussion of these concepts by comparing the history and scope of the concepts, the research interest and the different research methods used. Exemplifying with an analysis of 1

Testing the chemical tagging technique with open clusters

Context. Stars are born together from giant molecular clouds and, if we assume that the priors were chemically homogeneous and well-mixed, we expect them to share the same chemical composition. Most of the stellar aggregates are disrupted while orbiting the Galaxy and most of the dynamic information is lost, thus the only possibility of reconstructing the stellar formation history is to analyze th

Characteristics of parton energy loss studied with high pt particle spectra from PHENIX

In the first three years of the physics program at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) a picture was established in which the suppression of hadrons at high transverse momenta (pT) in central Au+Au collisions is explained by energy loss of quark and gluon jets in a medium of high color-charge density. Measurements of single-particle spectra for a smaller nucleus (Cu), for different center-o

Unexpected phase locking of magnetic fluctuations in the multi-k magnet USb

The spin waves in the multi-k antiferromagnet USb soften and become quasielastic well below the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature T-N. This occurs without a magnetic or structural transition. It has been suggested that this change is in fact due to dephasing of the different multi-k components: a switch from 3-k to 1-k behavior. In this work, we use inelastic neutron scattering with tridirect

Characteristics of oxy-fuel combustion in gas turbines

This paper reports on a numerical study of the thermodynamic and basic combustion characteristics of oxy-fuel combustion in gas turbine related conditions using detailed chemical kinetic and thermodynamic calculations. The oxy-fuels considered are mixtures of CH4, O-2, CO2 and H2O, representing natural gas combustion under nitrogen free gas turbine conditions. The GRI Mech 3.0 chemical kinetic mec

Environmental and social responsibility in supply chains: the practice of choice and/or inter-organisational management

The general concern for the state of the environment sets requirements on strategies developed by companies to curb environmental and social impacts of their activities. One of the most notable changes in the way companies work with sustainability issues is the shift of the focus from own operations to improving the performance of supply chains. This paper aims to analyse the practise of corporate

Heavy-quark production and elliptic flow in Au plus Au collisions at root(NN)-N-S=62.4 GeV

We present measurements of electrons and positrons from the semileptonic decays of heavy-flavor hadrons at midrapidity (vertical bar gamma vertical bar < 0.35) in Au + Au collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 62.4 GeV. The data were collected in 2010 by the PHENIX experiment that included the new hadron-blind detector. The invariant yield of electrons from heavy-flavor decays is measured as a function of t

Interdependence in supply chains and projects in construction

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to inquire into the management of construction supply chains by directing attention toward the different types of interdependencies that exist in such chains and in construction projects. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is developed as part of two ongoing research projects on supply chain management (SCM) in construction. A case study approach is used fo

Genome-wide association study of systemic sclerosis identifies CD247 as a new susceptibility locus

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs that leads to profound disability and premature death. To identify new SSc susceptibility loci, we conducted the first genome-wide association study in a population of European ancestry including a total of 2,296 individuals with SSc and 5,171 controls. Analysis of 279,621 autosomal SNPs fol

Reconstitution of water channel function and 2D-crystallization of human aquaporin 8.

Among the thirteen human aquaporins (AQP0-12), the primary structure of AQP8 is unique. By sequence alignment it is evident that mammalian AQP8s form a separate subfamily distinct from the other mammalian aquaporins. The constriction region of the pore determining the solute specificity deviates in AQP8 making it permeable to both ammonia and H(2)O(2) in addition to water. To better understand the

Si intercalation/deintercalation of graphene on 6H-SiC(0001)

The intercalation and deintercalation mechanisms of Si deposited on monolayer graphene grown on SiC(0001) substrates and after subsequent annealing steps are investigated using low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM), photoelectron spectroscopy (PES), and micro-low-energy electron diffraction (mu-LEED). After Si deposition on samples kept at room temperature, small Si droplets are observed on the su

Age-Specific Risk of Incident Prostate Cancer and Risk of Death from Prostate Cancer Defined by the Number of Affected Family Members

Background: The thorough assessment of familial prostate cancer (PCa) risk is as important as ever to provide a basis for clinical counselling and screening recommendations. Objective: Our aim was to determine the age-specific risks of PCa and the risk of death from PCa according to the number and the age of affected first-degree relatives. Design, setting, and participants: The nationwide Swedish
