The luminosity monitor LUCID (LUminosity Cherenkov Integrating Detector) employed in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC had to be upgraded for the second run of LHC (Run 2) that started in spring 2015. The increased energy of the proton beams and the higher luminosity implied that the Photomultipliers of the original LUCID detector had to be replaced for Run 2 to cope with the more demanding conditio
The aim of this dissertation is to explore the drivers of practitioners’ choices of capital budgeting techniques (CBT). The mainstream literature suggests that sophisticated CBT (SCBT) will best guide organizations in evaluating important strategic investments. Small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) choose to go against that “wisdom” and choose non-sophisticated CBT (NSCBT).Instead of following The aim of this dissertation is to explore the drivers of practitioners’ choices of capital budgeting techniques (CBT).

This paper critically examines sexual risk reduction interventions, more specifically how they are evaluated and the implications that this has for sexual health policy. The focus is on motivational interviewing (MI) interventions which aim to promote protective behaviors related to sexual risk on the part of young people. MI has become increasingly popular, largely due to it being a highly flexib
Pointing is a typical means of directing a human's attention to a specific object or event. Robot pointing behaviours that direct the attention of humans are critical for human-robot interaction, communication and collaboration. In this paper, we describe an experiment undertaken to investigate human comprehension of a humanoid robot's pointing behaviour. We programmed a NAO robot to point to mark

Previous research has focused on how governments and public authorities can limit civil society organisations’ (CSOs) autonomy by shrinking their operational civic space and their democratic functions. There has been less attention paid to how other external actors and types of pressure might restrict access to civic space and how it can induce coping responses on both an individual and organizati
This paper explores how landscape can be used as a lens to understand lingering as a geographical concept. Following the European Landscape Convention, landscape is defined as “an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors”. Thus, landscape assembles practices, perceptions and natural processes in an a-modern manner; th
Research shows that young people within ethnic minorities are subjected to police control more often than others, which seems to have a damaging effect on their trust in the police as well as on their wider sense of belonging. What is less often researched is how these young people deal with being over-policed. This article explores narratives of over-policing from those targeted by the police in Research shows that young people within ethnic minorities are subjected to police control more often than others, which seems to have a damaging effect on their trust in the police as well as on their wider sense of belonging.

The Syrian civil war has been described as a first example of the conflicts expected in the wake of climate change. The conflict, which started in 2011, was preceded by a severe drought in 2007–2009 that hit agriculture and the rural population hard. But what do we really know about what happened to Syria’s climate and agriculture before and after the start of the conflict? In this article, I summ

Aims: Resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who remain comatose after hospital arrival are at high risk of mortality due to anoxic brain injury. MicroRNA are small-non-coding RNA molecules ultimately involved in gene-silencing. They show promise as biomarkers, as they are stable in body fluids. The microRNA 9-3p (miR-9-3p) is associated with neurological injury in trauma and
Since the 1990s, economic policy instruments have become increasingly important to Swedish climate policy. To understand the characteristics of current systems, this paper presents an analysis of the development of economic policy instruments since the 1950s, with a focus on Swedish industry. Since the introduction of energy taxation, industry has received preferential treatment in the interests o
Background: A prediction model that estimates survival and neurological outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients has the potential to improve clinical management in emergency rooms. Methods: We used the Swedish Registry for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation to study all out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases in Sweden from 2010 to 2020. We had 393 candidate predictors describing the cir
Andris Blekte säger att man inte kan lära sig avspänning genom att läsa om den. När folk genom åren har frågat honom om litteratur i ämnet avspänning, har han alltid svarat att de borde lägga sig ner på golvet istället för att leta i böcker. Och ändå är detta en skrift om avspänning. Men inte någon handbok! Det går inte att med denna skrift i sin hand göra alla de övningar som skriften beskriver.
During δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) based Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy (IPDT) a high light fluence rate is present close to the source fibers. This might induce an unintentional tissue temperature increase of importance for the treatment outcome. In a previous study, we have observed, that the absorption in the tissue increases during the treatment. A system to measure the local tissue tempera
Observations based on overexpression of the suppressor gene p53 or interference with endogenous p53 support a role for p53 in mediating not only growth inhibition and apoptosis but also differentiation. The aim of this study was to characterize the mechanisms of p53-dependent differentiation in the monoblastic leukemia cell line U-937. These cells were transfected with a mutant of the p53 gene exp
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fyra artiklar som behandlar olika aspekter av vattenvågor med vorticitet. Artikel I: Symmetry of steady periodic gravity water waves with vorticity. Vi bevisar att en fortskridande, periodisk, två-dimensionell, rotationell gravitationsvåg, med en ytprofil som är monoton mellan vågdalar och vågtoppar, måste vara symmetrisk kring vågtoppen, oavseAbstract: This thesis consists of four papers related to various aspects of water waves with vorticity. Paper I: Symmetry of steady periodic gravity water waves with vorticity. We prove that steady periodic two-dimensional rotational gravity water waves with a monotone surface profile between troughs and crests have to be symmetric about the crest, irrespective of the vorticity distribution wit
