A search is presented for direct pair production of the stop, the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, in a decay through an Formula Presented-parity violating coupling to a charged lepton and a Formula Presented-quark. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of Formula Presented of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of Formula Presented collected between 2015 and
A general formulation for the distribution problem is presented, which is applicable to frequency distributions of subgrid-scale variables and hydrometeor size distributions, as well as to probability distributions characterizing data uncertainties. The general formulation is presented based upon two well-known basic principles: the maximum-entropy principle and the Liouville equation. The maximum
Background: Head and neck cancer patients often experience muscle wasting due to malnutrition and the hypermetabolism of cancer. For those undergoing total laryngectomy (TL), there is the potential for peri-operative complications. Sarcopenia has gained recognition as a prognostic factor in head and neck cancer. However, there is marked variability in the ways sarcopenia is defined and poor charac
BackgroundAdvanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS®) is the most widely adopted form of trauma life support training worldwide, but there is no high-quality evidence that it can improve patient outcomes. The aim of this trial is to compare the effects of ATLS® training with standard care on outcomes in adult trauma patients.MethodsADVANCE TRAUMA is a batched stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled
A search for a dark photon, a new light neutral particle, which decays promptly into collimated pairs of electrons or muons is presented. The search targets dark photons resulting from the exotic decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson, assuming its production via the dominant gluon-gluon fusion mode. The analysis is based on 140fb-1 of data collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Co
Many extensions of the Standard Model, including those with dark matter particles, propose new mediator particles that decay into hadrons. This paper presents a search for such low mass narrow resonances decaying into hadrons using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The resonances are searched for in the invariant mass sp
There is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries. This cross-sectional survey study (n = 414), conducted in 18 Swedish municipalities, used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to examine: user experiences related to satisfaction with WT, as well as users’ expectaThere is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries.

Despite substantial progress in Remote Sensing (RS)-based estimation of Water Quality Parameters (WQPs) using Machine Learning (ML) models, there remains a lack of end-to-end software that automates the entire workflow. To address this gap, this paper introduces WQEye (v1), an open-source software offering a user-friendly interface comprising six modular components: (1) Data loader; (2) RS samplin
According to Chapter 2 Section 2 of the Swedish Tort Liability Act, pure economic loss arising in non-contractual relations shall be compensated if the tortfeasor has caused the loss through the commission of a crime. Although never intended, until recently, the general view was that in the absence of legislation, damages could only be awarded for pure economic loss outside contractual relations i
Denna magisteruppsats bygger på en översättning av en text från hjälporganisationen ActionAid. Texten behandlar kvinnliga jordbrukares situation och hur denna kan förbättras. Uppsatsen består av en inledande textanalys där några av textens utmärkande drag tas upp. Därefter följer en genomgång av förutsättningarna för översättningen och valen av översättningsstrategier.

Inom kärnkraftsverken, läkemedelsindustrin, biotekniklaboratorier mfl är det vanligt att det radioaktiva ämnet 14C förekommer i olika former. Inom kärnkraftsverken som en biprodukt vid elproduktion och inom läkemedelsindustrin används det som markör för att studera hur sunbstansen distribueras i kroppen. Genom inandning vid t ex oförsiktighet kan de människor som arbetar med dessa olika substanserWith the help from accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), hair from workers within the nuclear power industry, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry has been investigated to see if contamination from 14C. 14C-using companies and nuclear power plants were contacted, volunteers were recruited, who sent in hair samples together with a questionnaire. The samples were washed and prepared for 14C anal
In the past five years, many Scanian cities have been hit hard by flood damages, especially in conurbation areas. A changed Scanian climate with increased annual rainfall and more downfalls during summer months, is expected to worsen the outcome of flood damages. Therefore, there is a great need for damage prevention activities and climate adaptation work with particular interest for insurance com
Den Konduktiva Pedagogiken är ett kombinerat terapeutisk och pedagogiskt rehabiliteringsprogram som riktar sig till alla människor som har någon form av rörelsehinder som till exempel Cerebral Pares. Den Konduktiva Pedagogiken har funnits i Sverige i över tio år. Trots metodens framsteg i aktivitet och självständighet och trots metodens effektivitet när det gäller delaktighet hos barn och vuxna me
In my thesis I present the work of the Japanese artist Takashi Murakami and the British street artist Beejoir, both of whom have done work involving the trademark monogram pattern of Louis Vuitton. Through my analysis of central parts of Murakami's body of work, I show how his cooperation with Louis Vuitton constitutes an ideal symbiosis where the carefree luxury of the Vuitton brand is comple
The purpose of this work is to enhance the understanding of how different approaches regarding the implementation of EPR programmes may contribute to environmental improvements. In order to meet this purpose, the following research question is explored: How may different approaches to collective and individual producer responsibility, implemented and/or envisioned by stakeholders, contribute to th
The purpose of this study was to examine why adventure treatment is mainly directed towards young men and how that can be related to the construction of masculinity. Our questions were: - What were the social workers thoughts and images about masculinity? - Why did they think adventure treatment were suitable for young men and for what reasons? - How did the social workers describe their role
This thesis examines cluster and innovation system theory’s answer to why some firms, and not others, based in particular nations achieve international success in distinct segments, and the European Union’s recent policy efforts based on such theories. On this background a discussion on the changes needed in national economic policymaking among EU Member States when the EU starts taking a cluster
On 25 May 1993, the United Nation Security Council took the extraordinary and unprecedented step to establish the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) as means for restoration and maintenance of international peace and security. This was a major event for the all those who are concerned about serious breaches of international humanitarian law and the introduction of law
