This thesis presents the prototype of a search for new phenomena that decay in two jets, in presence of an associated jet (three-jet or trijet final state). Mass combination studies are carried out to reconstruct dijet resonances in different mass regions. The two models of interest are the composite quark, which contains a composite quark resonance Q, and the simplified dark matter mediator mod

År 2014 drabbades Västmanland län i Sverige av en allvarlig skogsbrand som växte till att täcka drygt 13 000 ha. På grund av vädersituationen klarade räddningstjänsten inte av att hantera branden, vilken resulterade i att bli den största branden i Sverige sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Året efter branden rapporterade Myndigheten för Sam- hällskydd och Beredskap ett behov av ökad beredskap för allvarlIn 2014, the Västmanland County in Sweden suffered from a severe forest fire that grew to a size of roughly 13000ha. Recent and prevailing weather conditions made the fire overpower the extinguishing ability of the Swedish emergency services, and it ran out of control to become the largest forest fire in Sweden since the middle of the 20th century. The year after the fire, a need to increase the e

The aim of this study was to see how different welfare operators understands their own, and others, responsibility regarding unaccompanied minors seeking asylum from a welfare pluralistic point of view. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with different professionals representing their welfare operator. In order to examine views of responsibility we conducted nine interviews that cent

This Bachelor’s thesis examines the individual motivations behind shaping an ethnic identity in order to become interesting to oneself and others. Through understanding how people shape an ethnic identity, what values lie beneath, and placing it into the context of postmodern demands on the identity, this study argues that an ethnic identity may serve a purpose of generating cultural capital and s

Jordbruk är avgörande för människans överlevnad och idag står det inför många problem relaterade till både klimatförändringar och en ökande befolkning. Medan ökande totalskördar under 1900-talet har skapat förutsättningar både för global ekonomisk tillväxt och för befolkningstillväxt, har de jordbruksmetoder som används ofta fört med sig negativa konsekvenser både för ekosystem och människor. JordAgriculture is essential for human survival and today it faces many problems related to both climate change and an increasing population. While increased total yields during the 20th century have created the conditions for both global economic and population growth, the agricultural practices utilized have often had detrimental consequences both for ecosystems and people. The agricultural sector i

The increasing urbanization trends in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the proliferation of urban poverty together with the explosion of informal urban settlements have lead to a shift in the international poverty alleviation agenda from the focus on rural poverty to an increased emphasis put on the particularities of urban poverty. Kenya is one of the fastest urbanizing countries in SSA and the major

For the past three to four years, Ghana has experienced an energy crisis which has resulted in frequent power outages. Although water levels in the main Akosombo dam has been low, electricity generation from hydro has not declined but steadily increasing pointing to efficiency in generation. However inefficiencies in grid transmission coupled with decline in thermal generation of electricity from

Syftet med studien är att belysa körledares syn på olika sångtekniska frågor i kör, och vad de menar krävs för att kunna sjunga så bra som möjligt i kör. För att uppnå syftet med studien är den gjord genom metoderna enkät och kvalitativ intervju med tre körledare. Studien visar att körledarna ser sångtekniken som en grund dels för att körsångarnas röster ska må så bra som möjligt, men också för atThe purpose of this study is to shed light upon choral conductors’ views of various singing technical issues in choir singing, and what they mean is necessary to be able to sing as well as possible in a choir. For this purpose, the study has been performed using a poll as well as through qualitative interviews with three choral conductors. The study shows that choral conductors see singing techni

The financial crisis of 2007 and the subsequent global recession have caused stakeholders, governments and the public to criticise the amorality of the financial sector. For banks, being in the center of critique, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is argued as a promising concept to regain legitimacy. Despite broad engagements highlighting responsibility, distrust towards banks still remains h

Uppsatsen presenterar satsförkortningen genitivus absolutus och beskriver hur den används i Lukasevangeliet. Användningen jämförs med grammatikornas beskrivning av genitivus absolutus. En kortare sammanfattning av bruket i Markusevangeliet ingår.

The Victim Support organization is a Swedish non-profit organization that provides support to victims of crime. The organization relies on its volunteers sinse they are the ones who perform the majority of the work in the various offices. For the organizations work to continue as it does today a requirement is that the number of volunteers is reasonably stable. As the number of organizations in ne

The action to buy sexual services has been criminalized in Sweden since 1999. Previous researches have found that the action for a long time has been defined as a social problem in Sweden. The people providing these services have rarely been asked to share their opinion on these matters in surveys and official reports. Our experience from our education in social work is that the importance of list

Syftet med vår studie var att belysa ensamkommande flyktingbarnens retrospektiva erfarenheter av sin tid i HVB-hem, med fokus på hur de upplevde sin vardag, vilka faktorer de ansåg vara av betydelse för att hantera sin vardag och hur delaktighet och omgivning påverkade deras vardag. Vår empiri har samlats in genom kvalitativa intervjuer med sju tidigare ensamkommande flyktingbarn. Vi analyserade iThe aim of our study was to highlight the unaccompanied refugee children’s retrospective experiences of their time in HVB-homes; focus being on how they perceived everyday life, which factors they considered to be the most important in dealing with everyday life and how participation and environment affected their everyday life.

We present a multifactor model of the affine term structure of interest rates with dynamics of macroeconomic factors following the diffusion process in the Vasicek model. Using observable series, we investigate the goodness of fit of the model and the impact of the variables on bond yields. We describe in detail the derivation of the model and the numerical techniques for estimating it. We find th

Skelettskintigrafi är en bildgivande undersökning liknande röntgen, där cancer metastaser och andra benskador visar sig som hotspots. Att identifiera dessa hotspots är en svår uppgift även för erfarna läkare. I detta arbete används faltningsbaserade neuronnät till att träna datorer att hjälpa läkare identifiera hotspots.The main goal of this thesis is to design and implement a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify whether hotspots in bone scintigraphy images represent cancer metastases, caused by prostate cancer, or some other physiological process. A side task was included, where another CNN was designed and trained to classify whether a bone scintigraphy image image is acquired from the front of the pa

The failing firm defence is a tool that an antitrust authority can use to approve a merger that usually would have been blocked if one of the merging firms is failing. The defence has during the last years been used a number of times on EU level as well as in Sweden. This thesis explains how the Cournot model can be used to analyse the failing firm defence. It also presents and discuss’ literature

With today's sustainability thinking and environmental awareness, it is more important than ever to customize even our railway, with its components, for tomorrow's needs. An investment in the replacement of light source is not only an environmental and economic benefit, but also a win for the maintenance. We have chosen in this thesis to investigate why LED technology is not yet incorporat
