A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson with the decay H→ττ is presented. The data correspond to 20.3 fb-1 of integrated luminosity from proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC during 2012. The data agree with the background expectation, and 95% confidence-level upper limits are placed on the cross section of t
Objective To explore healthcare providers’ perceptions of the current postpartum care (PPC) practice and its potential for improvement at governmental health institutions in low-resource suburbs in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Design Qualitative design, using focus group discussions (8) and qualitative content analysis. Setting Healthcare institutions (8) at three levels of governmental healthcare in
Purpose: The research community has focused on defining reliable biomarkers for the early detection of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In 2017, the Geneva AD Biomarker Roadmap initiative adapted the framework for the systematic validation of oncological biomarkers to AD, with the aim to accelerate their development and implementation in clinical practice. The aim of this wo
ObjectiveWe investigate the association between the geographic proximity of the grandparents on net marital fertility and maternal survival in Sweden, 1900–1910, within the framework of the cooperative-breeding-hypothesis.MethodsData were derived from Swedish full-count censuses (1880–1910) and the Swedish Death Index. Married couples were linked to their parental households. Poisson and logistic
A search for new phenomena with top quark pairs in final states with one isolated electron or muon, multiple jets, and large missing transverse momentum is performed. Signal regions are designed to search for two-, three-, and four-body decays of the directly pair-produced supersymmetric partner of the top quark (stop). Additional signal regions are designed specifically to search for spin-0 media
BACKGROUND: The objective of the Swedish cleft lip and palate registry (CLP registry) is to promote quality control, research and improvement of treatment, by the comparison of long-term results. The aim was to compare data from the CLP registry among the six treatment centres, regarding data on surgery and speech outcomes at 5 years of age.METHODS: The participants were 430 children born in Swede
Recently, a haplotype of three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (tri-SNP) in intron 1 of the HLA-DRA1 gene was found to be strongly associated with type 1 diabetes risk in HLA-DR3/3 individuals. The tri-SNP reportedly function as “expression quantitative trait loci,” modulating HLA-DR and -DQ expression. The aim was to investigate HLA-DRA1 tri-SNPs in relation to extended HLA class II haplotypes an
Purpose: The Extremely Preterm Infants in Sweden Study (EXPRESS) followed a national cohort of extremely preterm born (EPT, i.e. <27 weeks) children until 12 years of age. This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal development of visual acuity (VA) in children born EPT, explore the predictive value of early visual assessments, and evaluate risk factors for visual impairment at the age of 12
INTRODUCTION: Neurological complications after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) increase patient morbidity and mortality. Carbon dioxide flooding is commonly used in open-heart surgery to reduce the risk of air embolism and neurological impairment, but it has not been evaluated in the setting of ATAAD surgery. This report describes the objectives and design of the CARTA trial, in
Aims: To develop a suite of quality indicators (QIs) for the evaluation of the care and outcomes for adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Methods and results: We followed the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) methodology for the development of QIs. This included (i) the identification of key domains of care for the management of PAH, (ii) the proposal of candidate QIs following sy
A search for the nonresonant production of Higgs boson pairs in the Formula Presented channel is performed using Formula Presented of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The analysis strategy is optimized to probe anomalous values of the Higgs boson self-coupling modifier Formula Presented and of the quarti
Background: This study explored peer-led sex education for individuals with intellectual disabilities and/or autism (ID/ASD) from the perspective of project leaders within Swedish non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The purpose of this Grounded Theory study was to develop a conceptual model that characterizes the ways in which peer-led sex education is implemented by Swedish NGOs. This was done
A model implemented in order to describe the electricity demand on hourly basis for the Nordic countries. The objective of this project is to use the demand data simulated from the model as input data in the price forecast model, EMPS model, at Vattenfall. The time horizon is 5 years, 6 years including the current year. After different models tried out, the final model is described by fundamental
I den här studien har jag, genom att undersöka hur Dagens Nyheter framställer verkligheten i och med morden på Olof Palme och Anna Lindh, försökt se bakom det som tidningen framställer vara naturligt. Genom att jämföra två liknande händelser under olika tidsperioder finns även möjlighet att studera om det finns skillnader och likheter i den bild tidningen ger av verkligheten. Utifrån detta kan jag
Since the opening of the Chinese borders in 1978, China has transformed in an unprecedented fashion. Constant economic reforms have converted the economy from a planned to a “socialist” market economy. Membership in the WTO has intensified China’s foreign trade and also integrated China in the world economy. Nonetheless, denial of Market Economy Status (MES) from its largest trading partner, the E
China is a mega-diversity country with abundant natural resources, and the richness of these resources is demonstrated to be relevant with the local people’s historical interactions between biophysical and sociocultural systems. If we are to maintain biodiversity and strike a balance between human well-being and ecosystem service, it is important to incorporate the local people and their tradition
In England saltmarshes account for less than 0.5% of the land area, however they have a very high biodiversity value and provide significant economic and social worth. Climate change, continuous coastal urbanisation, and port development are a serious concern for coastal protection planners, city councils and the government. It is a challenge for these decision makers to balance the social, econom
The purpose with this essay was to study if real-estate agents experience any impact by working with 100 percent commission. The study is based on eleven interviews with real-estate agents from four different real-estate firms in the southern parts of Sweden. The main result of the study is that the real-estate agents experiences economical uncertainty which effects them in a negative way. The maj
