Using data recorded in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, a search for evidence of extra spatial dimensions has been performed through an analysis of the diphoton final state. The analysis uses data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.12 fb(-1) of root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions. The diphoton invariant mass (m(gamma gamma)) spectrum is observed to be in g
New basis sets of the atomic natural orbital (ANO) type have been developed for the lanthanide atoms La-Lu. The ANOs have been obtained from the average density matrix of the ground and lowest excited states of the atom, the positive ions, and the atom in an electric field. Scalar relativistic effects are included through the use of a Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian. Multiconfigurational wave funct
Conventional agriculture and animal husbandry are leading causes of greenhouse gas emissions,environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss. Biocyclic Vegan Agriculture (BVA) is an approach that aims to address the concerns of modern agriculture and provide a sustainable and ethical alternative. Through the heuristic lens of the Multi-Level Perspective, where BVA serves as a potential niche, thi
The occurrence of climate change will have a significant impact on society and adapting to a more sustainable environment is of key importance. The dangers of climate change will include temperature and precipitation patterns becoming more extreme creating a substantial impact on society. Greece’s location and climate make it particularly vulnerable to a changing climate and climate impact assessm
The nomadic pastoralists of the Sahel are often identified as a group at the frontline of global climate change. Their existence in arid and semi-arid regions and their reliance on seasonal rainfall are among the factors that contribute to their vulnerability to drought and climate shocks. This study focuses on risks to pastoralists in Sudan, asking whether index-based livestock insurance, an inno
Mountains provide a variety of ecosystem services, such as drinking water, which sustains not only mountain communities but also people living further downstream. While climate change threatens most ecosystems, its negative impacts are up to three times greater in high altitudes. As well as changing the water cycle this further accelerates climate change. Although they contribute comparably little
Fotbollen är en av världens absolut största populärkulturella fenomen vad gäller allt från fritidsintresse till en global industri med mängder av stora ekonomiska investeringar. Således finns mer intressanta aspekter av fotbollen än enbart det rent sportsliga utövandet att undersöka inom samhällsvetenskapen. Tidigare studier har genomgående påpekat att fotbollen, sett ur ett klassperspektiv, haft
Sustainability reporting has become the primary measure of corporate sustainability in the EU, with increasing awareness among companies about the importance of disclosing sustainability matters. Concurrently, the European Union has enacted several pieces of legislation regarding sustainability reporting, notably the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. While blockchain technology initial
This study examines the challenges Sweden faces in implementing legislation against human trafficking for sexual purposes, analyzing the issue through conflict theory and feminist perspectives. Employing qualitative content analysis, the research identifies and categorizes causes such as demand, misogyny, inadequate legislation, and socioeconomic vulnerability. The primary research questions addre
The carbon intensity is an important metric that provides a clear measure of the environmental impact associated with the electricity use. Carbon intensity of electricity use is differentiated into CO₂ equivalents per kilowatt-hour, which standardises the measurement by expressing the emissions of various greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO₂ based on their global warming poten
Title: Effect on retail store image of a new format development: An explorative study of store image customers' associations in a pick-up point format setting Seminar Date: 30th May 2016 Course: BUSN39 Business Administration: Global Marketing Authors: Irene Grimani & Alfredo Privitello Supervisor: Ulf Johansson Key Words: Store image; format development; pick-up point; traditional for
Approximately a quarter of a million women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer annually worldwide. Identifying the genes involved may ultimately lead to the development of corrective and preventive measures to fight this type of cancer. Next Generation Sequencing is a technology that can reveal the genes central to cancer initiation and development, however the analysis of the data is problematic du
Det här arbetet handlar om musikaliska ideal i rytmikundervisningen på högskolenivå. Följande frågor behandlas i arbetet: Vilken roll har musiken i rytmikundervisningen? Vilka musikaliska ideal beskrivs? Utifrån vilka kriterier väljer musikhögskolornas rytmikutbildningar musikmaterial i sin undervisning och hur ser materialet ut? Arbetet bygger på tre kvalitativa intervjuer som har genomförts med
The purpose of the study was to capture a number of views on what impact language has on integration processes and social life. Since language is an important component of communication amongst people, it affects several aspects of everyday life such as occupation and social participation. To accomplish the aim eight people of foreign origin with experience of studying the language education progr
Across the world, there is a call to combat the climate crisis and tackle growing socio-economic inequalities. The Danish Citizens’ Assembly on Climate (CAC) is a case of attempted deliberative democracy seeking pathways to this outcome. This thesis asks how the CAC might catalyse a Danish sustainability transition. With democratic discourse theory and the concept of just sustainability, I conduct
Studien är en del i det ordinarie kvalitetsarbetet på en psykiatrisk öppenvårdsenhet. Syftet var att undersöka huruvida den behandling som erbjuds individer med emotionellt instabilt personlighetssyndrom (EIPS), Mentaliseringsbaserad terapi (MBT), har någon inverkan på patienternas psykiska hälsa/ohälsa. För att göra detta användes Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measures (CORE-O
Statistical comparison of single cases to small samples is a methodology that has been extensively used in, for example, cognitive and clinical neuropsychology. This is most often done to determine changes in cognitive processing after an individual has incurred some type of brain damage. In a clinical setting one often wish to infer whether a patient exhibit abnormally low performance on some cog
