High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [(Formula presented)]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a ch
The two-particle momentum correlation functions between charm mesons (D∗± and D±) and charged light-flavor mesons (π± and K±) in all charge combinations are measured for the first time by the ALICE Collaboration in high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV. For DK and D∗K pairs, the experimental results are in agreement with theoretical predictions of the re
Stormwater management is essential for preventing urban flooding and protecting water quality in receiving bodies. Traditionally viewed as a nuisance, stormwater is now being re-evaluated as an alternative resource for non-potable uses such as toilet flushing and irrigation through rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS). Within the European Union's Horizon 2020 project REWAISE, pilot studies with cer
This study examines the effects on risk-minimisation by incorporating emerging market equities in a portfolio, from the perspective of a Swedish investor. Since investors usually care about returns these are also a part of the study. The hypothesis is that the international diversification benefits will outweigh the higher risks of emerging market equities. The analysis is conducted on 267 monthly
This essay examines Russia’s nuclear rhetoric in relation to the war in Ukraine, with a focus on the strategic and normative dimensions of deterrence and the nuclear taboo. By using Thomas C. Schelling’s theories of deterrence and signaling and Nina Tannenwald’s theory of the nuclear weapons taboo, the study analyze how Russia’s rhetoric and actions relate to the theories in question. The study us
This study aims to investigate how girls within SiS special residential homes for youths are constructed in Swedish news media. The study is based on the social constructivist perspective and Yvonne Hirdman's gender theory. The theory choices have been made to make visible how words in news media construct both gender and the overall image of girls within SiS special residential homes for yout
The peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is one of the most extensive and complex missions ever carried out by the United Nations. Amongst the operational adaptation, one challenge has remained consistent; the crisis of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) committed by UN peacekeepers against the very civilians they are mandated to protect. This essay aims to explain how t
Bakgrund Att få ett barn med medfött hjärtfel är en omvälvande och ofta chockartad upplevelse för föräldrar, där särskilt pappor kan känna sig osynliggjorda och sakna anpassat stöd, samtidigt som deras behov och reaktioner ofta skiljer sig från mammors. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka pappors erfarenheter av socialt stöd när ett barn föds med hjärtfel i Sverige. Metod Studien genomfördes
Background: The potential of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) tools, such as ChatGPT, is being increasingly explored in healthcare settings. However, the same tools also introduce significant cybersecurity risks that could compromise patient safety, data integrity, and institutional trust. This study aimed to examine real-world security breaches involving genAI and extrapolate their pote
Proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2011, at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, have been used for an improved determination of the W-boson mass and a first measurement of the W-boson width at the LHC. Recent fits to the proton parton distribution functions are incorporated in the measurement procedure and an improved statistical method is used to increase the measurement
A search is presented for new particles produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV that result in final states comprising a massive vector (W or Z) boson that decays hadronically and large missing transverse momentum. The data sample was collected with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider from 2015 to 2018 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1
