  Denna uppsats undersöker två läroböcker avsedda för gymnasiets A-kurs i engelskämnet, Progress Gold A (2003) och Solid Ground (2003), i syfte att se vad de kan kommunicera ur ett genusperspektiv. De frågeställningar som behandlas är följande: Hur konstrueras genus i texterna i dessa båda läroböcker? Då läsaren inkluderas exempelvis i ett "vi" eller "du", förutsätts läsaren då vara antingen man eller kvinna, eller har detta inte någon betydelse? Hur förhåller sig resultaten till läroplanens mål om jämställdhet? Den teori och metod som ligger till grund för analysen har hämtats från det fält som kallas diskursanalys. Såsom den utformats i detta arbete kan metoden närmast beskrivas som en kvalitativ närläsning av materialet. Resultatet visar på att båda läroböckerna till stor del tycks reproducera genuskontraktets grundpelare, dikotomiseringen av manligt och kvinnligt samt hierarkin dem emellan som ger det manliga högre statuts än det kvinnliga. Huruvida texterna förutsätter att läsaren är man, kvinna eller om detta inte har någon betydelse skiljer sig mellan läroböckerna. Solid Ground påvisar genusneutralitet i det avseendet, medan det i Progress finns tillfällen där det allmängiltiga underförstått riktar sig till antingen män eller kvinnor. I förhållande till läroplanen framgår av resultatet att dessa båda läroböcker stämmer illa överens med läroplanens grundläggande värderingar om jämlikhet mellan män och kvinnor, samt läroplanens krav på att undervisningen ska återspegla både manliga och kvinnliga perspektiv.

A rapid aerodynamic prediction method for unconventional transonic aircraft configurations

This paper presents some results comparing the use of the Full Potential equations, coupled with the turbulent integral boundary layer equations for aircraft transonic cruise analysis. Use of such a method in the conceptual design stage is shown to be capable of yielding accurate enough data in a few minutes on a single processor, where Navier - Stokes simulations on 100+ processors take several days

Axion-like particles and high-energy gamma rays: interconversion revisited

Axion-like particles (ALPs) are hypothetical entities often invoked to solve various problems in particle physics to cosmology. They are one of the most promising candidates to explain the elusive dark matter. A way to search for ALPs is through their effects on photons. In the presence of external magnetic fields, ALPs and photons can convert into one another, leading to measurable signals. In this contribution we present results of Monte Carlo simulations of ALP-photon interconversion in magnetised environments. We focus on high-energy gamma rays with TeV energies travelling over cosmological distances. We include a full treatment of the intergalactic electromagnetic cascades triggered by the gamma rays. Finally, we discuss the impact of this improved treatment of the propagation for current and future ALP searches.Comment: Presented at the 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2023

Le professioni dei beni culturali: affinit\ue0, differenze, sviluppi futuri : atti del Convegno MAB FVG Trieste, 13 dicembre 2013

Questo appuntamento, che si \ue8 posto idealmente sulla linea dei convegni organizzati annualmente all\u2019Archivio di Stato di Trieste grazie alla collaborazione tra AIB e ANAI. L\u2019attenzione si \ue8 concentata sulla professionalit\ue0, sull\u2019aggiornamento e sulla convergenza delle tre professioni su un terreno comune, dove ottimizzare competenze e formazione. Quest\u2019anno aggiunge un ulteriore tassello: \ue8 sede infatti del convegno OLAVeP (Osservatorio Lavoro e Professione dell\u2019AIB) per il Nord Italia. Trieste \ue8 stata scelta come sede del terzo Convegno OLAVeP organizzato in Italia nel 2013 sul tema del lavoro e della professione dei bibliotecari, dopo Assisi (maggio 2013) e Bari (giugno 2013), dove sono state discusse, rispettivamente, la tematica del volontariato e quella delle esternalizzazioni. In un momento estremamente importante per i bibliotecari, che nel corso del 2013 si sono visti riconoscere la propria figura professionale tra quelle presenti nelle associazioni professionali non ordinistiche (ai sensi della L. 4/2013)4, il lavoro dell\u2019OLAVeP appare fondamentale per l\u2019Associazione e per i colleghi che dall\u2019AIB si vedono rappresentati. La felice congiunzione tra tutti gli attori coinvolti in questo Convegno (Regione FVG, Universit\ue0 di Trieste, Comune di Trieste, coordinamento MAB FVG) fornir\ue0 sicuramente spunti di riflessione per una politica di condivisione delle risorse, strada gi\ue0 tracciata in questi ultimi anni proprio da MAB Italia

Affinity Capillary Electrochromatography of Molecularly Imprinted Thin Layers Grafted onto Silica Capillaries Using a Surface-Bound Azo-Initiator and Living Polymerization

Molecularly imprinted thin layers were prepared in silica capillaries by using two different surface polymerization strategies, the first using 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) as a surface-coupled radical initiator, and the second, S-carboxypropyl-S’-benzyltrithiocarbonate as a reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent in combination with 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile as a free radical initiator. The ability to generate imprinted thin layers was tested on two different polymerization systems: (i) a 4-vinylpyridine/ethylene dimethacrylate (4VP-EDMA) in methanol-water solution with 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) as a template; and (ii) methacrylic acid/ethylene dimethacrylate (MAA-EDMA) in a chloroform solution with warfarin as the template molecule. The binding properties of the imprinted capillaries were studied and compared with those of the corresponding non-imprinted polymer coated capillaries by injecting the template molecule and by measuring its migration times relative to a neutral and non-retained marker. The role of running buffer hydrophobicity on recognition was investigated by studying the influence of varying buffer acetonitrile concentration. The 2,4,5-T-imprinted capillary showed molecular recognition based on a reversed phase mechanism, with a decrease of the template recognition in the presence of higher acetonitrile content; whereas warfarin-imprinted capillaries showed a bell-shaped trend upon varying the acetonitrile percentage, illustrating different mechanisms underlying imprinted polymer-ligand recognition. Importantly, the results demonstrated the validity of affinity capillary electrochromatography (CEC) to screen the binding properties of imprinted layers

Proceedings of the Mediterranean Seagrass Workshop 2006

The Mediterranean Seagrass Workshop 2006 was convened in response to the need to promote a periodic event that would host scientists interested in Mediter- ranean seagrasses, and international scientists who are involved in projects that are focused on the Mediterranean marine environment, to discuss current knowl- edge and present the findings of their latest research. The concept of holding an international meeting originated during the Inter- national Seagrass Biology Workshop (ISBW6) held in 2004 in Queensland, Aus- tralia. In particular, one of the goals of ISBW6 was to identify key ecological issues and environmental trends within a number of geographical regions. This stimulated the idea of taking such topic to a higher level; the Mediterranean scale. The Mediterranean Sea is a rare and vulnerable ecoregion, one of the planet’s biodiversity hot spots, where many of the species present are endemic (around 20%). The Mediterranean Sea also has a millenarian history of human use of its coasts. However, the current exponential increase of human pressure on the coastal zone for living space, transportation, recreation and food production is expected to have dramatic long-term impacts on the Mediterranean marine envi- ronment. Being located in shallow coastal areas close to human settlement, sea- grasses are bearing the brunt of disturbance from such anthropogenic activities, with the result that degradation and loss of seagrass habitats is widespread in the whole Mediterranean Sea. Thus, there is great concern that the functions which seagrasses have performed in the Mediterranean marine ecosystem will be weak- ened or, in some places, lost altogether.peer-reviewe
