A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. The datasets used correspond to integrated luminosities of approximately 4.8 fb(-1) collected at, root s = 7 TeV in 2011 and 5.8 fb(-1) at root s = 8 TeV in 2012. Individual searches in the channels H -> ZZ(()*()) -> 4l, H -> gamma gamma and H -> WW (()*()) -> ev mu v in the 8 T
In this thesis, simulation of coupled dynamic models, denoted sub-systems, is analyzed and described in a co-simulation context. This means that the respective coupled systems contain their own internal integrator, hidden from the coupling interface. Co-Simulation is an interesting and active research field where industry is a driving force. The problems where co-simulation is an interesting appro
Background: The aim of this study is to analyze longitudinally, based on four measurements at intervals of eight years, the annual effect of age group and birth cohort on regular exercise in the Swedish population from 1980-1981 to 2004-2005. Methods: We followed a randomly drawn subsample of individuals aged 16-63 years, interviewed by professional interviewers, from the Swedish Annual Level of L
This master thesis aims to investigate the visual characteristics of Late Bronze Age tholos tombs in the region of Messenia, Greece by comparing tholos tombs from two study areas: the Pylian hinterlands and the Soulima Valley. The study utilises cost surfaces and viewsheds created in a GIS-environment as heuristic devices to do so. With the common assumption that the tholos tombs were erected as v
This thesis compares the 1970 River Laxá dispute in Skútustaðahreppur, Iceland with perspectives towards the proposed Bjarnarflag geothermal power station in the same region 43 years later. The events in 1970 have been called the first act of environmental protection in Iceland. The study concentrates on power relations through Foucault´s theory of Régime of Truth and Alf Hornborg´s theory on the
Popular science summary Habitat selection and chick survival of Eurasian Golden Plovers pluvialis apricaria altifrons during a lemming peak year in southern Lapland (Sweden) Aided by radio-telemetry, this study investigates the factors involved in the survival of Eurasian Golden Plover chicks and variations in habitat selection, home ranges and diet at different times through the pre-fledging pe
Detta examensarbete behandlar olika aspekter av internationell investeringsrätt. Bilaterala eller regionala investeringsavtal tillsammans med internationell sedvanerätt reglerar mestadels rättsområdet. Sedvanerätten är inte harmoniserad på området vilket gör den osäker för investerare. För att främja investeringar och göra investeringar säkrare började länder förhandla bilaterala investeringsavtalThis thesis deals with various aspects of international investment law. Bilateral or regional investment treaties together with international customary law mostly govern international investment law. The area of customary law is not harmonized leaving it uncertain and unsafe for investors. Countries therefore started to negotiate bilateral investment treaties, BITs, in the late 1950´s as a way of
Background: The n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which are present in fish, are protective against myocardial infarction. However, fish also contains methylmercury, which influences the risk of myocardial infarction, possibly by generating oxidative stress. Methylmercury is metabolized by conjugation to glutathione, which facilitates elimination. Glut
Communicative abilities and opportunities are affected by ventilator care. The purpose of this case study was to investigate both a nurse's and a ventilator-supported patient's experiences of communication during ventilator care, with the overall aim of contributing to increased knowledge and awareness of issues related to communication with a ventilator-supported patient. An explorative/descripti
Recently, we constructed a focused antibody library tailored to interact with haptens. High functionality of this library was demonstrated, as specific binders could be retrieved to a range of different haptens. In the current study we have developed a mutagenesis and selection strategy in order to further fine-tune the hapten binding properties of these antibody fragments. Testosterone was chosen
This thesis will be examining two totally different legal systems: Sweden and New Zealand, two jurisdictions which encompass diverse historical, political and constitutional backgrounds. Sweden, to begin with, retains centuries of old constitutional traditions, where a written and entrenched constitution is seen as fundamental. New Zealand, on the other hand, is almost unique in the world in not h
The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is easier to predict the default probability in EU than in the USA or vice versa by analyzing the time period 2006-2009 which is characterized by the financial crisis. We will also establish whether there are any differences in the prediction of default probabilities between non-financial and financial firms. To be able to perform the study, we
Gorongosa Nationalpark ligger i de centrala delarna av Moçambique, närmare bestämt i Urema Graben som utgör den sydligaste delen av det Östafrikanska riftsystemet. Nationalparken kan beskrivas som ett omfattande ekosystem bestående av diverse flodplan, gräsmarker och skogsbeklädda områden. Efter en lång period av inbördeskrig under senare delen av 1900-talet hade dock antalet stora däggdjur i områGorongosa National Park in central Mozambique is situated at the southernmost extension of the East African Rift System (EARS), the Urema Graben. The Nhandugue River flows over the western margin of the Urema Graben, and marks the northwest border of Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique. The park is protecting a vast ecosystem of floodplains, grasslands and woody coverage. The study is focusedd on
