A search for heavy neutral Higgs bosons and Z′ bosons is performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1 from proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC during 2015 and 2016. The heavy resonance is assumed to decay to τ+τ− with at least one tau lepton decaying to final states with hadrons and a neutrino. The search is perform

Background:In early breast cancer, five histopathological biomarkers are part of current clinical routines and used for determining prognosis and treatment: estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (ERBB2/HER2), Ki67, and Nottingham histological grade (NHG). We aimed to develop classifiers for these biomarkers based on tumor mRNA-sequencing (RNA

Measurements of ZZ production in the +-′+′- channel in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV center-of-mass energy at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. The data correspond to 36.1 fb-1 of collisions collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2015 and 2016. Here and ′ stand for electrons or muons. Integrated and differential ZZ→+-′+′- cross sections with Z→+- candidate masses in the range of 66 GeV t

Aims Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) predicts cardiovascular (CVD) events, but the predictive value of CIMT change is debated. We assessed the relation between CIMT change and events in individuals at high cardiovascular risk. Methods and results From 31 cohorts with two CIMT scans (total n = 89070) on average 3.6 years apart and clinical follow-up, subcohorts were drawn: (A) individuals wit

Despite controversies, flu vaccine programs targeted to the older people are highly recommended and represent a common public health policy in industrialized Countries. Although demographic aging will increase the share of population at higher risk of influenza, today economic recession is putting public budgets under pressure. Underfunding of prevention is becoming a larger problem, as prevention

Background: Practices regarding hospitalisation of children at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes vary both within countries and internationally, and high-quality evidence of best practice is scarce. The objective of this study was to close some of the gaps in evidence by comparing two alternative regimens for children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes: hospital-based care and hospital-based home care (HBH

BACKGROUND: The role of sleeping problems in the causal pathway between job strain and musculoskeletal pain is not clear. Purpose: To investigate the impact of sleeping problems and job strain on the one-year risk for neck, shoulder, and lumbar pain. METHOD: A prospective study, using self-administered questionnaires, of a healthy cohort of 4,140 vocationally active persons ages 45-64, residing in

Histopathology Analysis of sentinel node biopsy - a single-institution experience supporting the use of serial sectioning and immunohistochemistry for detection of micrometastases by comparing four different histopathological laboratory protocols Aims:  Detecting micrometastases (>0.2 and ≤2 mm/>200 cells) and isolated tumour cells (ITCs; ≤0.2 mm/<200 cells) is important for staging of breast canc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling ger ett bidrag till teorin om strategisäkra kollektiva beslut. I denna teori undersöks under vilka förutsättningar det är möjligt att konstruera omröstningsprocedurer (hädanefter kallade för kollektiva valfunktioner) som är strategisäkra i den bemärkelsen att ingen väljare kan ändra utfallet av en omröstning till sin fördel genom att inte rösta enligt sThis thesis makes a contribution to strategy-proof social choice theory, in which one investigates the conditions under which it is possible to construct social choice functions (i.e., voting procedures) that can never be manipulated in the sense that some voter, by misrepresentation of his true preferences, can change the outcome of a voting and obtain an alternative he prefers to the one that ho

A search for events with one top quark and missing transverse momentum in the final state is presented. The fully hadronic decay of the top quark is explored by selecting events with a reconstructed boosted top-quark topology produced in association with large missing transverse momentum. The analysis uses 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV recorded d

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of bone mineral density (BMD) abnormalities involves dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), but few patients complete this after a fragility fracture. The assessment of BMD using Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements from computed tomography (CT) scans has been correlated with DXA results in previous studies. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between shoulder CT HU and DX

A search for high-mass charged and neutral bosons decaying to Wγ and Zγ final states is presented in this paper. The analysis uses a data sample of s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb −1 collected by the ATLAS detector during LHC Run 2 operation. The sensitivity of the search is determined using models of the production and decay of spin-1 charged bosons and

π Men hosts a transiting planet detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite space mission and an outer planet in a 5.7 yr orbit discovered by radial velocity (RV) surveys. We studied this system using new RV measurements taken with the HARPS spectrograph on ESO's 3.6 m telescope, as well as archival data. We constrain the stellar RV semiamplitude due to the transiting planet, π Men c, as

Background: The underlying factors of the male predominance in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are largely unknown, although a female advantage in social communication has been pointed out as a potential factor. Recently, attention has been given to ASD as a sensory processing disorder, focusing on the audio-visual temporal processing paramount for the development of communication. In ASD, a devia

I EU-rätten finns många versioner av ne bis in idem. De återfinns inte minst i huvudkällorna till mänskliga rättigheter i unionen: EU:s allmänna principer, stadgan om de mänskliga rättigheterna och Europakonventionen, men också i konventionen om tillämpning av Schengenavtalet och många andra regelverk. Denna uppsats berör frågan huruvida det ändå finns en enda, sammanhållen ”kärn”-förståelse av neThere are many versions of ne bis in idem in EU law. They can be found not least in the main sources of human rights of the EU legal order: the general principles of EU law, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the European Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, but also in the Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement and many other bodies of law.

Offentliga inköp av varor, tjänster och byggentreprenader som görs av statliga och kommunala myndigheter måste föregås av en offentlig upphandling enligt lag (2007:1091) om offentlig upphandling. Leverantören av varan, tjänsten eller byggentreprenaden som anser att en upphandling inte har gått rätt till, kan ansöka om överprövning av en upphandling till allmän förvaltningsdomstol enligt 16 kap. 4 Swedish contracting authorities purchasing public goods, services and public works contracts, are obliged to follow Swedish law on Public Procurement Act (2007:1091). If the procurement has not been correctly performed, an economic operator can apply for a review to the administrative court according to Chapter 16 § 4 in the Swedish law on Public Procurement Act. The regulation is based on Europea

Denna text undersöker de offentliga rättshjälpsmodellerna för icke-straffrättsliga frågor i Sverige och British Columbia (BC), Kanada. Den Svenska rättshjälpsmodellen karaktäriseras av att offentlig rättshjälp är subsidiär till privat rättsskyddsförsäkring. Undersökningen ger underlag för en komparativ analys. Med beaktande av utvecklingen sedan mitten av 1990-talet och den kritik som riktats mot This text examines the public legal aid models for non-criminal legal matters in Sweden and British Columbia (BC), Canada. The Swedish legal aid model is characterized by making public legal aid subsidiary to private Legal Expenses Insurance. The examination provides data for a comparative analysis. Considering developments since the mid 1990s, and the critique aimed at the legal aid models in bot

The Disproportionate Burden-Expense Exception within the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework is allowing certified organisations to refuse access requests based on organisational cost or burden. The thesis is examining how this exception affects the ability of EU controllers to fulfil their obligation under Article 15(3) GDPR, when employing a U.S. processor. To answer this question, the thesis is exam
