This Letter presents a search for pair production of heavy down-type quarks decaying via b' -> Wt in the lepton + jets channel, as b'(b) over bar' -> W(-)tW(+)(t) over bar -> b (b) over barW(+)W(-)W(+)W- -> l(+/-) nu b (b) over barq (q) over barq (q) over barq ($) over barq. In addition to requiring exactly one lepton, large missing transverse momentum, and at least six jets, the invariant mass of
Measurements of fiducial and differential cross sections are presented for Higgs boson production in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of TeV. The analysis is performed in the H -> gamma gamma decay channel using 20.3 fb(-1) of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The signal is extracted using a fit to the diphoton invariant mass spectrum assum
This master thesis examines different legal aspects of the enlargement of the European Union and the relations between the EU and Turkey. As a preliminary remark, it is established that only two articles of the EU-Treaty address the question of enlargement. The first one, article 49 states that the applicant country has to respect the principles set out in article 6(1), i.e. liberty, democracy, re
The area of measurement principles is considered one of the most controversial aspects of the Exposure Draft for Small and Medium sized enterprises. Although fair value measurement has been mandated for some assets and liabilities under IFRS for SMEs, the issues of when fair value accounting is appropriate and when is not is still far from resolved. Generally, the effect of application of fair val
Maternal mortality levels in most low middle income countries is not been the same over the past decades. Among these countries, some of them seem to have an improvement in reducing maternal mortality but the aggregate picture is indicated the regional progress as not that impressive. This is been the case because of the different social and economic policies that each low-middle income countries
This thesis discusses ethical consumption with a focus on individual’s identity, the notion of reflexivity and the importance of information in being an ethical consumer in a globalized world. The concepts of reflexivity, habitus, self- and social identities are reviewed. Using hermeneutic approach to analysis of in-depth semi-structured interviews of individuals who identify themselves as ethical
Joint Operations at the external borders of the EU are axiomatic for EU’s border management policy and constitute forms of collective action involving the efforts of two or more Member States for the purpose of securing the common borders. Nevertheless, participation in joint operations is based on voluntarism and guided by the principle of solidarity, which should act as catalysts encouraging MSs
Despite longstanding and far-reaching recognition of the need for social change towards environmental sustainability, the delivery of this transition is proving problematic. Dominant strategies for sustainable development in western countries focus on uncoupling economic development from ecological harm. Scandinavia epitomises this approach to green economy, especially in the transition to a low-c
I denna uppsats härleds och testas en ny omviktningsalgoritm med vars hjälp det nativa tillståndet av aminosyresekvenser, bestående av 16 aminosyror, kan förutspås. Algoritmen används till att kartlägga de neutrala näten av α-helixes och β-sheets inom ett kontinuerligt proteinmodell. För att undersöka omviktningsalgoritmens potential för att förutsäga den termodynamiska stabiliteten av olika aminIn this thesis, a new reweighting algorithm for predicting the native conformations of amino acid sequences, consisting of 16 residues in a reduced representation continuous protein model, is derived and tested to map neutral nets of α-helices and β-sheets. For examining the potential of the reweighting algorithm for predicting the thermodynamic stability of amino acid sequences, it is applied to
The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, is a serious pest of honey bees, Apis mellifera, damaging the quality of honey produced and creating a problem for bee industry. Mating behaviour in this species takes place with the help of a male-released pheromone tracked by females over long distances. Previously, the male pheromone was identified to be a blend of nonanal and undecanal but this aldehy
Summary Title Are older consumers of interest for the Swedish Apparel market? A study of older consumers’ attitudes and interests in apparel Deadline 12 January, 2007 Course FEK 533 Authors Brusk Kutlay and Linda Nordén Tutors Björn Carlsson and Roland Knutsson Keywords Older consumer, apparel, lifestyle, attitudes, consumer behavior Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate weather the
Issue of study: The development of technology and society is closely linked. Mutual dependency and complex interrelationships make straightforward analysis of issues regarding the future of technology and society hard to perform. Therefore, the study addresses the question of how organizations should describe and analyze the interactions of technology and society in order to gain a better understa
Reindeer husbandry has long been a central element of the traditional livelihood and culture of indigenous Sami people in northern Sweden. However, it faces several challenges from competing land uses, primarily forestry. Different forest conditions are desired by forestry and reindeer husbandry to accommodate each sectors’ distinct interests, promoting high timber and pulp production or improved
In modern history, Sweden has experienced two major financial crises: the early 1990s and the global financial crisis in 2008. During the last decades, there has been an increased global focus on regulating and supervising banks, where Basel III is the leading framework. Today, one of the most debated issues within the global economy is Covid-19. It is uncertain how the pandemic will affect countr
Transgender persons experience a disproportionate representation in adverse mental health conditions globally. In Sweden there are tangible efforts to improving mental healthcare overall, but as a minority population, transgender persons still struggle with meeting their mental healthcare needs. While social factors such as stigma and discrimination act as catalysts for this burden, there is an ab
Urban green infrastructure (UGI) is gaining popularity for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in urban contexts, but dense development obstructs the realisation of large-scale greening measures. This thesis investigates the potential of small-scale, site-specific urban greening in a residential area in Cologne, Germany, to improve ecosystem service supply. The objective is to as
This thesis aims to investigate the newly emerging phenomenon in the environmental justice sphere – namely, the weaponisation of art by climate activists for the purpose of attracting attention to specific demands held. These attacks materialise in the form of organised acts wherein tactics entailing vandalism are enacted by a climate activist group. With the commencement of this climate movement
Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improvi
Objective: The overlap of normal and abnormal personality and personality disorders was found on facet and domain level, but only a few studies assessed the higher order joint structure. In this study, the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 (PID-5-100 item form) and the IPIP-NEO-120 are assessed in their internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity and their joint structure, modelle
