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
Freshwater demand is expected to rise while supplies decline, putting pressure on water systems. Water conservation and determining potential alternative sources is imperative. The thesis aims to determine the effectiveness of greywater recycling as an alternative source in Sweden. Sörsjön was used as a case study and the roles of property owners and water utilities explored. The theory of planned
Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind, is crucial to mitigating climate change. The ambitious federal targets on offshore wind set by the United States’s (US) Biden Administration will, however, increasingly impact the 129 million citizens living within local communities in coastal regions. Achieving social acceptance is therefore critical to reaching the US’
Biochar, a black carbon created from agricultural waste or residues, is primary an agricultural tool to improve soil health via moisture and nutrient retention with the added benefit of sequestering carbon. As global actors search for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods, biochar is increasingly promoted especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where smallholder farmers are largely affected by clima
This thesis analyses how individuals stance towards climate change reduction is affected by their view on immigration as well on their education background. It is quantitative research where data from the European Social Survey round 10 is analyzed through three multiple regression analyses. What being found was that both the immigration sentiment and the level of educational achievement were of s
The issue of dignity in the context of asylum seekers and their care has been widely discussed from various perspectives. As the rate of asylum-seeking increases, so too does the politics surrounding bare minimum standards. In the process of seeking asylum, individuals are increasingly forced to trade-off access to other rights. This study investigates the normative and human rights gaps in asylum
Background The COVID 19 pandemic has subjected a lot of countries to economic and social turmoil. This has contributed to socio economic as well as psychological challenges undermining the economies of many countries. Immunization is the key in this crucial phase of pandemic that can save a lot of precious lives. But imminent challenges in immunization supply chain of world countries to the native
This paper contributes to sustainability transitions studies in delivering stronger focus and relevance on culture and discursive features to apprehend social resistances towards transition agendas, and the unprecedented emergence of the challenging antagonism of the ‘end of the world’ versus ‘the end of the month’ revealed by the case study of the Yellow Vests crisis in France since November 2018
Funktionella somatiska tillstånd (FSD) är vanliga och funktionsnedsättande tillstånd som ofta lämnar patienter fångade mellan otillräckliga medicinska förklaringar och begränsade psykologiska behandlingsalternativ. Internetbaserad emotional awareness and expression therapy (I-EAET) är en lovande intervention för FSD. Få studier har dock undersökt den subjektiva upplevelsen av att genomgå I-EAET – Functional somatic disorders (FSD) are common, debilitating conditions that often leave patients caught between insufficient medical explanations and limited psychological treatment options. Internet-based emotional awareness and expression therapy (I-EAET) is a promising intervention for FSD. However, few studies have examined the subjective experience of undergoing I-EAET—particularly among thos
Detta arbete behandlar beskattningstidpunkten för derivatinstrument som säkrar skulder i utländsk valuta, enligt svensk rätt. Detta är intressant eftersom svenska företag i en globaliserad ekonomi exponeras mot valutarisker. Det råder dock osäkerheter om när säkringsderivatet ska beskattas. Uppsatsen analyserar därför hur den rättsliga regleringen i IL påverkar beskattningstidpunkten av värdeföränThis thesis examines the timing of taxation of derivatives hedging foreign-currency liabilities under Swedish law. The issue is interesting given the currency risk exposure of Swedish enterprises in a globalized economy, yet uncertainty persists as to when hedging derivatives are recognized as taxable income. The study analyses how the Swedish income tax law governs the recognition of value change
This study explores how Thai women in Sweden, working in the massage and wellness sector and members of the ThaiWISE initiative, navigate social stigma and negotiates their identities in the context of migration. Drawing on five semi-structured interviews, the study examines how these women manage the persistent association between Thai femininity and sex work, despite working in safe and regulate
This study presents a mineralogical, textural and structural assessment of the Cambrian Faludden Sandstone Member (Borgholm Formation) and Lower Silurian mudstone (unspecified formation), for their potential use as reservoir and caprock, respectively, for deep carbon storage in the Swedish sector of the Baltic Sea subsurface. The study was performed on two drillcores from the island of Gotland, No
Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are complex biological products that present specific scientific and regulatory challenges during clinical development. This thesis aimed to analyse consolidated Part I considerations raised during assessment of investigational ATMP clinical trial applications (CTAs) under the Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR) to identify recurring scientific and regulato
Popular Abstract in English Wild fruits trees species are widely distributed throughout the African countries. Many of these trees species produce fruits, which are used by the local communities to greater or less degrees. The importance of wild fruits in the diet depends to a large extent on the availability of the fruits, since cultivated fruit trees are not particularly common in the dry regionAbstract Wild fruit trees have significant cultural and socio-economic value in rural areas of Mozambique. Most of the wild fruits are seasonal and are available mainly in the wet season. Generally they have a short shelf-life and are eaten fresh or after minimal processing; the most common method of preservation is sun-drying. The fruits of Adansonia digitata, Landolphia kirkii, Salacia kraussii,
The volume analyzes the reasons behind, and consequences of, the growing involvement of transnational actors in established international institutions. It provides comparative analyses of varying international organizations and issue-areas. Combining normative democratic theory and empirical research, it offers innovative interpretations of the democratic legitimacy of current arrangemants.
OBJECTIVE: To study the possibility of improving blood lipids, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in women with impaired glucose tolerance and a history of gestational diabetes by merely changing the glycaemic index (GI) and dietary fibre (DF) content of their bread. DESIGN: Randomized crossover study where test subjects were given either low GI/high DF or high GI/low DF bread products duri
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become an established therapeutic option for patients with symptomatic, severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) who are ineligible or at high risk for conventional valvular surgery. In Northwestern Europe, the TAVR technology is also increasingly used to treat patients with an intermediate risk profile. Methods and results The study was design
A search for neutral long-lived particles (LLPs) decaying in the ATLAS hadronic calorimeter using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV delivered by the LHC is presented. The analysis is composed of three channels. The first targets pair-produced LLPs, where at least one LLP is produced with sufficiently low boost that its decay products can be resolved as separate jets. The second an
Cortical interneuron deficiencies, particularly involving the somatostatin (SST) subtypes, contribute to neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. These interneurons are difficult to derive in vitro from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) due to their late embryonic development and dependence on glial interaction. To this end, we developed a three-dimensional co-culture model of hESC-derived ne
