A search is presented for direct top squark pair production in final states with one isolated electron or muon, jets, and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV. The measurement is based on 4.7 fb(-1) of data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Each top squark is assumed to decay to a top quark and the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The data ar
Objective To explore healthcare providers’ perceptions of the current postpartum care (PPC) practice and its potential for improvement at governmental health institutions in low-resource suburbs in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Design Qualitative design, using focus group discussions (8) and qualitative content analysis. Setting Healthcare institutions (8) at three levels of governmental healthcare in
Apprenticeship training is a form of education that arouses a great deal of interest as regards the challenges that characterise conditions for young people on the current labour market. This is obvious both in Sweden and in other comparable countries. This chapter begin by illustrating the changed conditions for establishment of young people, a factor that may help to enhance understanding of why
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is known to have a higher risk of revision than tricompartmental arthroplasty (TKA), while UKA implants are generally less expensive than TKA implants. We estimated the costs of implants and hospital stay of both procedures and related the cost difference at primary operation to the difference in number of revisions to be expected. We compared 15,437 primar
Synovial fluid was collected from patients with recent knee injury and from patients with early or late stage osteoarthritis. Chondroitin sulfate-substituted aggrecan fragments present in these fluids, and in normal bovine synovial fluid, were purified by cesium chloride gradient centrifugation, enzymically deglycosylated and fractionated by gel filtration on Superose-12. Each sample contained two
PURPOSE: The partial volume effect (PVE) is an important source of bias in brain perfusion measurements. The impact of tissue PVEs in perfusion measurements with dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) has not yet been well established. The purpose of this study was to suggest a partial volume correction (PVC) approach for DSC-MRI and to study how PVC affects DSC-MRI perfusion results.METHOD
Objectives. To compare the correspondence of discharges and diagnoses between medical records and an administrative database in diabetic patients with foot ulcers and to calculate inpatient costs from the different sources. Design. Discharge data from 117 prospectively followed patients were compared with information from the Swedish Inpatient Registry during the same treatment period for each pat
This paper presents a dedicated search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson to a pair of new spin-zero particles, H→ aa, where the particle a decays to b-quarks and has a mass in the range of 20–60 GeV. The search is performed in events where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a W boson, giving rise to a signature of a lepton (electron or muon), missing transverse momentum, and multip
A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson with the decay H→ττ is presented. The data correspond to 20.3 fb-1 of integrated luminosity from proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC during 2012. The data agree with the background expectation, and 95% confidence-level upper limits are placed on the cross section of t
Introduction Pregnancy rates after frozen embryo transfer (FET) have improved in recent years and are now approaching or even exceeding those obtained after fresh embryo transfer. This is partly due to improved laboratory techniques, but may also be caused by a more physiological hormonal and endometrial environment in FET cycles. Furthermore, the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is pract
Popular Abstract in English Where are we? And what are all the things we have around us? These are questions that we ask as children when we start to discover the world around us. But just because we grow up does not mean that we find the answers to those questions. Around us, we see things as red buses, blue oceans and yellow flowers. But according to science, it is not these things that we fundaA metal nanoparticle can be considered as consisting of a base of positive ion cores and a sea of free electrons. When the free electrons are displaced, for example, by an incident electric field, a restoring force acts on the electrons. The electrons may then oscillate back and forth until equilibrium is reached. This oscillation occurs at the natural frequency, or eigenfrequency, of the system.
A search is presented for the production of new heavy quarks that decay to a Z boson and a third-generation Standard Model quark. In the case of a new charge +2/3 quark (T), the decay targeted is T -> Zt, while the decay targeted for a new charge -1/3 quark (B) is B -> Zb. The search is performed with a dataset corresponding to 20.3 fb(-1) of p p collisions at root s = 8TeV recorded in 2012 with t
Over the past two decades, immigrant-receiving countries have been confronted with honour crimes. In a number of Western European countries, there have been cases of police failure to intervene in cases of honour crimes occurring in migrant communities. The authorities responses to honour crimes have consistently been inadequate, as they do not take victims of honour crimes seriously and fail to p
Sammanfattning Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka återfallsfrekvensen i depression under påföljande sex månader efter avslutad behandling, hos personer som nyligen avslutat en depressionsbehandling inom rehabiliteringsgarantin, Primärvården, Region Skåne, samt att undersöka om antalet depressionsepisoder och socialt stöd kan predicera återfall i depression. 50 personer deltog i studien.
This investigation concerns written output produced by Swedish learners of English as a second language (L2) and French as a third language (L3). The analysed texts were rated according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which is a widespread and language-independent document commonly used to assess communicative competence based on six main proficiency levels (A1,
Syftet med studien är att analysera och förklara hur händelser knutna till avregleringarna påverkat SJ AB i dess strategiutveckling mellan åren 2001-2014. Vidare har vi med studien avsett att förklara hur bolaget arbetat för att implementera strategierna i verksamheten utifrån ett antal ekonomistyrningsverktyg. Resultatet av studien visar att SJ AB i dess strategiutveckling i flera fall avsett at
The concept of the “Security-Development Nexus” illustrates a friction between two wellestablished norms that constitutes the EU's normative identity in external relations. A normative conflict where EU's vision of forming a strategic and collective international security policy has threatened its commitment to international development policy and its agenda to combat global poverty.
