In the scientific domain of high energy physics (HEP), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) was created in order to handle the huge compute and storage needs of the experiments at Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Today WLCG combines about 1.4 million computer cores and 1.5 exabytes of storage from over 170 sites in 42 countries. What ties the sites together is the middleware installed at each site,

Importance: Plasma neurofilament light (NfL) has been suggested as a noninvasive biomarker to monitor neurodegeneration in Alzheimer disease (AD), but studies are lacking. Objective: To examine whether longitudinal plasma NfL levels are associated with other hallmarks of AD. Design, Setting, and Participants: This North American cohort study used data from 1583 individuals in the multicenter Alzhe

Background and objective: The European Association of Urology (EAU) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) guideline panel has updated their evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for the management of RCC. Here we present a summary of the 2025 RCC guidelines updated with standardised methodology to provide reproducible evidence for the management of RCC. Methods: For the 2025 update, a literature sear

Bakgrund: Considerable differences exist among the living donor Kidney Exchange Programmes (KEPs) that are in use and being built in Europe, contributing to a variation in the number of living donor transplants [6]. Efforts of European KEPs to exchange (best) practices and share approaches to address challenges have, however, been limited.Methods: Experts from 23 European countries, collaborating

Background: Emerging literature suggests that boredom is a frequent problem experienced by homeless persons that may influence their health and well-being. Purpose: The range and breadth of literature exploring boredom among homeless persons is unknown. We initiated this study to fill this gap in existing literature. Method: Using the method advanced by Arksey and O’Malley (2005), and furthered by

The main purpose of this Master´s thesis, is to describe and discuss what constitutes the library collaboration between The Swedish Royal Library and the National Library of Guatemala, but also to analyse which effects the support has for public library work in Guatemala. The data consists of interviews and direct-observations during 2 months of fieldwork in Guatemala, Central America. The analysi

Abstract Since the late 1970’s, China has rapidly increased its exports of industrial products and inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) through the use of special economic areas (SEA), which offer special benefits to foreign investors and export producers. Common criticism against these SEAs, usually states that these areas show persistent low-standard working conditions and wages to remain c

Title Factors for success : a study of school libraries at compulsory schools and how to integrate them in the education Abstract This Master's thesis aims to identify success factors for the integration of school libraries in the education. The search for factors are concentrated to three areas: control documents for the school and school library, the Principal and organisation and the col

Virtual Reality and advanced, interactive simulators illustrate the potentials of modern technology for improving the ecological validity of learning experiments. Yet much more preliminary work is needed to appreciate how these growingly complex means can be utilized to promote high-order emotional and motivational constructs of the user, such as self-efficacy. Drawing from the frameworks of serio

The purpose of the study was to investigate how social workers is thinking referring to environment and protective interior of the social service office, and how these aspects affect the relationship to the clients. A comparison was made between two social service offices which differ considerable in structure and work load. The study included four social workers who all worked within the departme

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has estimated that around 120 million people are forcibly displaced around the world and about 32 million of them are refugees. Our aim with this study was to examine and demonstrate the process of forced migration from people's home countries based on a refugee perspective. The method used was a qualitative text analysis of autobiograp

This study aimed to explore Swedish social workers’ experiences of the influence of social norms in their work with people subjected to intimate partner violence. The aim was also to explore how social workers relate to norm-critical perspectives within social services. We used convenience sampling and recruited six social workers, all of whom specialized in intimate partner violence. We approache

Vid dimensionering av plattramsbroar, som är en av Sveriges vanligaste brotyper, utgör det ökade jordtrycket mot rambenet på grund av horisontella laster en viktig faktor i dimensioneringsprocessen. Dagens regelverk framtaget av Trafikverket innebär en process som är tidskrävande för konstruktören samt underskattar jordens horisontella stabiliserande effekt. Detta kan leda till en låg utnyttjandegPortal frame bridges are one of the most popular types of bridges in Sweden. These bridges consists of a framework structure that mitigates the use of bearing supports and expansion joints which in turn makes them economically viable, efficient and robust. The structure makes use of having vertical surfaces such as abutment walls that are in contact with soils, meaning that braking forces, thermal

Uppsatsen handlar om en oklarhet i rätten till självförsvar enligt FN-stadgan, nämligen när en väpnad attack utförd av en grupp som inte är en del av en stats reguljära armé ändå kan vara hänförbar till den staten ge-nom internationella hänförbarhetsregler. Den relevanta rätten för att avgöra om en väpnad attack är hänförbar till en stat är FN-stadgan, ARSIWA, och internationella domstolars rättsThis essay aims to clear up the obscurity of the right to self-defense in the Charter of the United Nations, and more precisely when an armed attack committed by a group that is not part of a state’s regular army is attributa-ble to the state in question by the rules of attribution in international law. The relevant legal sources for deciding whether an armed attack committed by a group is attrib

This research is a part of a new, up and coming field in exploring differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) as a method for research in biomaterials. DDM is a method that enables the possibilities of working with non-transformed images in real time while still providing information about the dynamics without the need for complex optics or lasers. The analysis is possible through the Fourier Transform

Vatten hittar alltid ett sätt att nå sin destination. Kan vi också göra det? Med tanke på de snabba klimatförändringarna och den ökade risken för kraftiga nederbördshändelser kan kommunerna i Sverige potentiellt stå inför stora utmaningar. Vad gör vi när det inträffar skyfall och har kommuner och medborgare vidtagit alla försiktighetsåtgärder för att minimera egendomsskador och hälsorisker? DeDue to rapid urbanization and industrialization, cities have been seen as one of the main contributors to climate change and its negative impacts in recent decades. Many of the Nordic countries have experienced an increased number of torrential rains and floods in recent years, resulting in both property and environmental damage as well as possible negative effects on the well-being of citizens. E

Wind actions on roof-mounted solar collectors dier from those on an open range-deployment, due to turbulence and wind stream deection induced by the underlying building. As of December 2010, no construction codes in eect describes the wind loads on such structures, with the exception of the preliminary standard NVN 7250 from the Netherlands, with the latest draft released in 2007. The roofs consid

Abstract Author: Ermina Barudzija Title: “It’s all about understanding each others occupations and roles”– a qualitative study on the social services and the police’s local collaboration with regard to youth crime, in Landskrona Supervisor: Anders Östnäs Assessor: Helena Hansson The purpose of this thesis was to describe and analyze the social services and the police’s local collaboration with r

According to the national public survey “Health on equal terms” around 20 percent of all the children in Sweden (385 000) is growing up with a parent that is consuming alcohol in a risk full way (Statens folkhälsoinstitut 2008). These children often experience different strains in their life taking big responsibility in the family. The aim of this study was to investigate experiences in growing up
