A search is presented for narrow diboson resonances decaying to [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] in the final state where one [Formula: see text] boson decays leptonically (to an electron or a muon plus a neutrino) and the other [Formula: see text] boson decays hadronically. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb[Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] coll
Theoretical calculations of reaction kinetics were done for one‐step reactions catalyzed by cells immobilized in spherical beads. The reactions catalyzed by free cells were assumed to obey Michaelis–Menten kinetics for a one‐substrate reaction. Both external (outside the beads) and internal (inside the beads) mass transfer of the substrate were considered for the immobilized preparations. The theo
The arrival of new genetic technologies that allow efficient examination of the whole human genome (microarray, next-generation sequencing) will impact upon both laboratories (cytogenetic and molecular genetics in the first instance) and clinical/medical genetic services. The interpretation of analytical results in terms of their clinical relevance and the predicted health status poses a challenge
OBJECTIVE: Health system resilience can increase a system's ability to deal with shocks like floods. Studying health systems that currently exhibit the capacity for resilience when shocked could enhance our understanding about what generates and influences resilience. This study aimed to generate empirical knowledge on health system resilience by exploring how public antenatal and childbirth healt
A search for long-lived particles decaying into hadrons and at least one muon is presented. The analysis selects events that pass a muon or missing-transverse-momentum trigger and contain a displaced muon track and a displaced vertex. The analyzed dataset of proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV was collected with the ATLAS detector and corresponds to 136 fb-1. The search employs dedicated reconstr
The presentation will focus on the extent to which linguistic and other cultural features are vertically or horizontally transmitted in relation to human population history, and how such processes lead to the coevolution of languages and other cultural traits. Structural features of language may vary in their inherent propensity to become transmitted vertically (by lineage) or horizontally (via co
At ejaculation, the epididymal spermatozoa mix with the secretions produced by the seminal vesicles and the prostate. The glandular secretions immediately turns into a gel-like structure which entraps the spermatozoa. The ejaculated spermatozoa become progressively motile as the gel dissolves. The discovery, structure, and interactions of proteins involved in these post-ejaculatory phase reactions
Background: Healthy lifestyles are inversely associated with the risk of noncommunicable diseases, which are leading causes of death. However, few studies have used longitudinal data to assess the impact of changing lifestyle behaviours on all-cause and cancer mortality. Methods: Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort, lifestyle profiles of 308,497 ca
Background: Factors that influence outcomes of interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs (IPRP) are poorly known. It is unclear how outcomes are influenced by pain intensity, psychological distress, and coping strategies. Aim: This clinical registry-based longitudinal cohort study has three aims: 1) to determine the relative importance of pain intensity, psychological distress, acceptance, an
In 2017, thousands of young Africans took to the streets across West Africa protesting the CFA franc — a currency created by France in 1945 for its African colonies — sparking debates over monetary sovereignty and French neocolonialism. As opposition has grown, so has the need to understand the political economy of this monetary regime. This thesis engages with this debate and investigates the sup
With the wide-ranging crisis in Venezuela exacerbating since 2014 and Chile consolidating its leading economic position within Latin America, the number of Venezuelan immigrants in Chile has significantly grown. This paper aims to understand the push and pull factors of Venezuelans migrating to Chile and their perceived integration. The broader purpose is to better understand the push and pull fac
The Lord of the Rings has been denounced as carrying a black-and-white fairytale moral, with forces of Good (light, freedom, beauty) fighting Forces of Evil (darkness, tyranny, ugliness) Many writers argue that the battle between the forces of Good and Evil is a reflection of Tolkien's strong Christian beliefs. Others see in the battle between Light and Darkness a reflection of the never-endin
Due to labor shortages and an aging workforce, businesses are having difficulty hiring and maintaining talented staff. Employer branding is an important factor in attracting and keeping top employees. However, current research on job seekers' expectations and fulfillment is lacking. This study explores job seekers' expectations and how they align with job and organizational culture in real
The purpose with this thesis was to investigate the recovering process of former child soldiers in Northern Uganda through the perspective of professionals. Data have been collected through eleven semi-structured interviews conducted in the districts Gulu, Pader and Lira. The eleven respondents come from eight different organizations who all work with former child soldiers and their psychosocial a
This paper explores Europeanization of the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs by looking at the impact of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) on the Ministry. Despite being intergovernmental, voluntary, governed by treaties and not laws previous studies suggest that CFSP has an impact on the domestic arena. The analysis is based on the conceptual framework developed by Smith (2000) in whi
The purpose of this study is to shed light on the socio-cultural and economic norms and practices that influence the knowledge and use of contraceptives and family planning services. To go further, we explore the role of media and the impact of attitudes towards domestic violence. Focusing on Cameroon and Malawi, we review the economic development and evolution of key indicators of Sexual and Repr
A search for supersymmetry targeting the direct production of winos and higgsinos is conducted in final states with either two leptons (e or μ) with the same electric charge, or three leptons. The analysis uses 139 fb−1 of pp collision data at (Formula presented.) TeV collected with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess over the Standard Model expectat
