Two approaches for extracting properties of neutral resonances out of invariant mass distributions are presented: like-sign and event-mixing signal. Additionally a correction function based on event-mixing, aimed at revising detection differences of opposite charged particles, which is applied to the like-sign signal is tested. The analysis is conducted using pp collisions at 7 TeV and concludes a
A semi-automatic way of calibrating micro-simulation models in Vissim with the elementary effects method is used on a traffic simulation over a mixed traffic crossing in Lund. The analysis is carried out by writing a script in Visual Basic connecting to Vissim via COM objects that iterates the elementary effects method over the whole range of suitable parameters. Speed and acceleration gets the hi
Institutional care for children, so called orphanages, are still the most common type of alternative care for children deprived of parental care in Kyrgyzstan. The number of children who enter residential care in Kyrgyzstan has increased in recent years – this despite international attention of the need to move away from institutional childcare towards a range of family-based services. Moreover, t
Människorättsorganisationen Amnesty International skapade internationell debatt då de i augusti 2015 valde att utveckla en policy där de bland annat förespråkar en avkriminalisering av prostitution, inklusive sexköpare och tredjehandsparter. I denna undersökning görs en argumentationsanalys av den motivering som Amnesty International presenterat i försvar för sin nya policy, med syfte att granska
B-uppsatsens forskningsproblem är om Doyles teser om varför demokratier inte för krig mot varandra stämmer efter Huntingtons tredje demokratiseringsvåg. Uppsatsens syfte är att bidra till den demokratiska teorin genom att försöka avgöra om de tre faktorer som Doyle härleder från Kant och kompletterar kan förklara frånvaron av mellanstatligt krig mellan etablerade demokratier genom en empiriskanaly
The methods for assessing capability in the Swedish emergency management system are mainly based on resources. It is however questionable whether a method should be based only on available resources. The aim of the thesis was to examine if the old MSB method used to assess capability within the Swedish emergency management system can be improved by studying methods for capability assessment in the
According to the 2009 report by National Board of Health and Welfare’s, 20 % of employees who works with treatment at homes for treatment or living lacked appropriate education to undertake their job role. In the light of this we decided to examine the recruitment criterias used at homes for treatment or living and also which role the social worker has at these institutions. We have taken a qualit
The European Monetary Union was formed over a decade ago with a mission to create a single market with a single currency for the European Union members. Today only 19 out of the European Union members have adopted the official common currency, the Euro. The purpose for this thesis is to asses how the Euro has effected Finland’s exports during the time period 1995-2014. This has been estimated thro
The easy way to find out whether or not there is a certain Swedish archival collection preserved in any archival institution, is to make a quick search in a free and public reference database named Nationell arkivdatabas (National Archival Database), NAD, preferably if you don’t have any clear geographical area to narrow the research. But if there isn’t any relevant result to retrieve in NAD, what
Jämfört med andra ekosystem som våtmarker eller skogar så har de urbana ekosystemen blivit relativt lite uppmärksammade. Att integrera vegetation i urbana miljöer bidrar till positiva hälsoaspekter, stärker den biologiska mångfalden samt bidrar till sociala värden. Begreppet ekosystemtjänster har blivit allt mer etablerat de senaste åren och det finns en stor efterfrågan på verktyg för att värdera
Bakgrund: Att använda kreativa aktiviteter som arbetsterapeutisk intervention för personer med psykisk ohälsa är vanligt förekommande bland arbetsterapeuter. Den tekniska utvecklingen som råder idag kan däremot generera en livsstil där den enskilda individens färdigheter inte används i aktivitet, vilket kan spela en inverkande roll för individers hälsa och välbefinnande. Syfte: Syftet med denna st
The study considers the scheduling problem of identical parallel machines subject to minimization of the maximum completion time and the maximum tardiness expressed in a linear convex objective function. The maximum completion time or makespan is the date when the last job to be completed leaves the system. The maximum tardiness is indicated by the job that is completed with the longest delay rela
Slutsats visar att infrastruktur, samarbete och ansvar är ovillkorliga förutsättningar vid införande av en mer hållbar avfallshantering. Infrastruktur eftersom det kan vid rätt implementering underlätta sortering av avfallsfraktioner, som gör att avfallets värde lättare blir tillgängligt. Ansvar för att belysa hur enskilda handlingar kan främja eller hämma andras insatser för hållbar avfallshanter
Using data from the 2007 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), this research uses a logistic probability model to determine the associations between maternal characteristics, such as the exposure to physical domestic violence and low women’s status, and the risk of develop problems of malnutrition in children under 5 years. Using anthropometric indicators of malnutrition such as stuntin
Through economic openness, increased capital mobility and the resulting competition to innovate, the globalisation of capitalism ought to increase the wealth and living standards of all involved. However, in order for all to be involved, they must be of value to that economy. That the world lives largely in poverty means that the more the economy incorporates cheap labour, the lower the returns to
Arable land is a valuable natural resource. In Iceland the total size of potential arable land has not been determined but preliminary estimates vary from 420 ha to 15000 ha. These have been based on different definitions of potential arable land and assumptions for minimum continuous land area. In 2010 the Farmers Association of Iceland concluded that there was a need for a standard for evaluatin
The communicating home concept has been defined by identifying the dominating communication technologies to/from and in the homes, the most important customer behavior and user needs, the dominating products and the dominating actors of the industry. The evaluation of the communicating home industry has been performed with a five forces framework analysis and theories regarding value migration and
