The symbolic elite discourse on the safety and viability of using the insecticide DDT for combating malaria in Africa is marked by extreme dissonance. While some positions within the debate on using DDT for malaria prevention are quite nuanced, others are more extreme if not one-dimensional. The ones who tend to hold more nuanced or centrist positions on using DDT for controlling malaria are often
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to study the contradiction between planing both a dense and green city. This contradiction can be explained as a conflict of space, where green areas are deprioritized and replaced with buildings and streets. Further on this thesis aims to examine how pocket parks can be used to alleviate this contradiction and achieve sustainable development in planing for a den
A search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in scattering of same-sign W boson pairs in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV at the LHC is reported. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS detector during 2015–2018. The search is performed in final states including a same-sign ee or eμ pair and at least two jets with large invariant mass and a large
This chapter examines how people associate various sex work activities with the exchange of sexual services for payment. It considers both in-person activities, such as sexual intercourse, oral sex, erotic massage, and dancing, as well as remote, digitally mediated activities like webcamming and the production of pornographic videos and photos. Drawing on an original US survey of adults (n = 1,024
Three searches for the direct production of τ-sleptons or charginos and neutralinos in final states with at least two hadronically decaying τ-leptons are presented. For chargino and neutralino production, decays via intermediate τ-sleptons or W and h bosons are considered. The analysis uses a dataset of pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1, recorded with the ATLAS de
A comprehensive study of the molecular active landscape of human cells can be undertaken to integrate two different but complementary perspectives: transcriptomics, and proteomics. After the genome era, proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool to simultaneously identify and characterize the compendium of thousands of different proteins active in a cell. Thus, the Chromosome-centric Human Proteome
Introduction The Problematic Experience of Therapy Scale (PETS) identifies barriers to home-based exercise programs but has not been validated in hand therapy populations. This study aimed to translate the extended PETS into Swedish and evaluate its content and construct validity in patients undergoing early sensory relearning following peripheral nerve injury.Methods The PETS was translated into
A search for pair production of vector-like leptons coupling to first- and second-generation Standard Model leptons is presented. The search is based on a dataset of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. Events are categorised depending on the flavour and multiplicity
A search is performed for light, spin-0 bosons decaying into two photons in the 66 to 110 GeV mass range, using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV produced by the Large Hadron Collider and collected by the ATLAS detector. Multivariate analysis techniques are used to define event categories that improve the sensitivity to new resonances beyond the Standard Model. A model-independent
This paper presents a search for supersymmetric particles in models with highly compressed mass spectra, in events consistent with being produced through vector boson fusion. The search uses 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at s = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Events containing at least two jets with a large gap in pseudorapidity, large missing tran
Mot bakgrund av brottsutvecklingen mot rättsväsendet de senaste åren har begreppet otillåten påverkan fått en mer framträdande roll. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och utreda om problematiseringen kring begreppet otillåten påverkan samt ge förslag hur gällande rätt bör se ut. Begreppet otillåten påverkan är i sig inte ett brott i straffrättslig mening men omfattar ett flertal påverkansfThe concept unlawful influence has been given a more prominent role as a result of the recent development of crime against the judicial system. The purpose with this thesis is to analyse the concept unlawful influence and propose a suggestion on what the applicable law should be in this area. The concept itself is not a criminalized act and it covers several types of influences. However it is undi
Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) is an efficacious treatment for social anxiety disorder (SAD) in youth. However, we have limited knowledge about patient characteristics that may be associated with better (or worse) treatment outcome. Particularly concerning factors suggested to be involved in the maintenance of SAD (e.g., anticipatory anxiety and post-event processing). The
Background: Children diagnosed with right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) anomalies require surgical repair early in life, reoperations and lifelong follow-up. The aim is to comprehensively describe their health related quality of life (HRQoL) and to assess the agreement in this regard between children and parents. Methods and Results: Child- and parent-reported HRQoL was assessed in 97 children ag
AIMS: Lumbar disc prolapse is a frequent indication for surgery. The few available long-term follow-up studies focus mainly on repeated surgery for recurrent disease. The aim of this study was to analyze all reasons for additional surgery for patients operated on for a primary lumbar disc prolapse. METHODS: We retrieved data from the Swedish spine register about 3,291 patients who underwent primar
Border carbon adjustment is an economic instrument being discussed more frequently as a possible solution to address carbon leakage, which is an issue for many developed countries. Developed countries are showing interest in this instrument to protect domestic industries from carbon leakage to countries that do not tax carbon. There is however concerns from developing countries that border carbon
Through an idea analysis that utilizes an ideal type of populism, this study seeks to find out how the use of populist ideas has changed over time in conference speeches by four consecutive Labour Party leaders between the years 1998 and 2018. The method for this idea analysis is based on Göran Bergström’s and Per-Anders Svärd’s theories on an ideal type-based idea analysis. The theoretical framew
Artificiell intelligens (AI) är ett växande teknologiskt fenomen som inom en snar framtid spås kunna skapa kreativa verk i form av romaner, konstnärliga bilder, musik, m.m. likvärdiga de verk människor skapar. Till skillnad från mänskoskapade verk kommer AI-alstren inte omfattas av upphovsrätt eftersom upphovsrätten endast skyddar det som skapas av människor. Genom att studera upphovsrättens motiArtificial intelligence (AI) is a growing technological phenomenon that is predicted to, within the near future, be able to create creative works such as novels, artistic pictures, music, and the likes, equivalent in quality to the works of humans. As opposed to the works made by humans, AI-creations will not be protected by copyright, as copyright is limited to things made by humans. By studying
Informationssamhället medför många frågor beträffande om hur rätten till personlig integritet ska balanseras med rätten till informations- och yttrandefrihet, vilket den nya dataskyddsförordningen (DSF) inte ännu gett många svar på. I den här uppsatsen undersöker jag fenomenet med personuppgiftsregister, innehållande information hämtad från allmänna handlingar, publicerade på internet för kommersiThe information society brings many questions in terms of how personal integrity is to be balanced with the freedom of expression and information, which the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has not yet provided many answers to. In this thesis, the phenomena with websites containing personal data, obtained from official documents, published on the Internet for commercial purposes, is exami
