  "abstract": "A determination of the hadronic fragmentation functions of the Z-boson is presented from a study of the inclusive hadron production wit the DELPHI detector at LEP. These fragmentation functions were compared with the ones at lower energies, thus covering data in a large kinematic range: 196 <= Q^2 <= 8312 GeV^2 and x(= p_h/E_beam) > 0.08 A large scaling violation was observed, which was used to extract the strong coupling constant in second order QCD: alpha_s(Mz) =0.118 +\\- 0.005. The corresponding QCD scale for five quark flavours is: Lambda_MS_bar = 230 +/- 60 MeV.",
