Differential measurements of charged particle azimuthal anisotropy are presented for lead-lead collisions at root sNN = 2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, based on an integrated luminosity of approximately 8 mu b(-1). This anisotropy is characterized via a Fourier expansion of the distribution of charged particles in azimuthal angle relative to the reaction plane, with the coefficients v
The known breast cancer susceptibility polymorphisms in FGFR2, TNRC9/TOX3, MAP3K1, LSP1, and 2q35 confer increased risks of breast cancer for BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers. We evaluated the associations of 3 additional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs4973768 in SLC4A7/NEK10, rs6504950 in STXBP4/COX11, and rs10941679 at 5p12, and reanalyzed the previous associations using additional ca
OBJECTIVE - The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of the postload plasma glucose concentration in predicting future risk of type 2 diabetes, compared with prediction models based oil measurement. of the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentration. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - A total of 2,442 subjects from the Botnia Study, who were free Of type 2 diabetes at baseline, received an o
A search is presented for a high-mass Higgs boson in the , , , and decay modes using the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb. The results of the search are interpreted in the scenario of a heavy Higgs boson with a width that is small compared with the
The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is a tool for measuring the wellbeing of an economy. The question of how to include the use of renewable energy sources is important when estimating the GPI for an economy highly dependent on renewable energy like Iceland. An analysis of GPI estimations showed that the use of renewable energy sources is reflected by the subtraction of the use of non-renewable o
Rätten till medborgarskap kodifierad i artikel 15 i FN:s declaration om de mänskliga rättigheterna tolkas som rätten att ha rättigheter. Genom medborgarskap säkras tillgång till grundläggande mänskliga rättigheter. Personer som inte betraktas som medborgare i någon stat enligt dess lagar är de jure statslösa. Åtnjutandet av mänskliga rättigheter för de jure statslösa är följaktligen begränsad. FThe right to nationality codified in article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is understood as the right to have rights. By possessing nationality, access to fundamental human rights is ensured. A person who is not considered a national of any state according to its laws is de jure stateless. De jure stateless persons are consequently impeded to enjoy such human rights. As of today
As the Union Customs Code will replace the Community Customs Code with effect from 1 May 2016, the thesis focuses on the new treatment of royalty payments for customs purposes and its legal consequences. In a first step, a comparison between the Community Customs Code and the Union Customs Code reveals that importers will have to face a significant increase in the customs liability of royalty pa
In order to systematize and rationalize the quality control process for FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) input data a software application for this specific purpose has been developed. In order to study the occurrence of user related errors in FDS input data and the possibility of reducing such errors by using the developed application, a case study on archived FDS input data from actual building pro
In 2013, the EU established a Common European Asylum System in order to harmonize the asylum laws throughout Europe. One of the directives in this common system is a revised version of the Reception Conditions Directive from 2003, establishing rules for housing, clothing and food for the asylum applicants. The directive from 2003 should be in place in all Member States of the EU and on the 21st of
The notion of corporate violations of human rights is gaining ground. Using an inductive method, this report explores the level of responsibility of multinational enterprise for violations of human rights law committed by business partners and affiliates, i.e. the ''imputability''. The topic is important as the ability to reconstruct the organizational structure provides corporate
This thesis addresses the new policy reform for the establishment of newly arrived refugees in Sweden from a welfare policy perspective. The establishment reform aims to further integration of newly arrived refugees into Swedish society by transferring responsibility from local municipalities to the Public Employment Service and by introducing a private actor in the process. In the thesis I analys
In a country as „connected‟ as Sweden, it is hard to imagine a setting in which the Internet does not play a significant role in people‟s everyday lives. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the use and/or awareness of online health information and services among female immigrants in Malmö, Sweden. The data collected is based on semi-structured interviews with 11 female immigrants of 7 differe
Participation of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) has been greatly promoted by the European Union (EU) and many CSOs in social policy sphere in particular have increasingly gained their participatory venues and consultative status vis-a-vis EU institutions since the 90’s. However, their expected role to bring even the most marginalised groups’ voice into European policy making process poses a qu
Uppsatsen behandlar våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer som grund för flyktingstatus i internationell rätt med svensk rätt som exempel på implementeringen i nationell rätt. Våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer förekommer i alla länder, kulturer och samhällsklasser i världen. Den här typen av våld är den vanligaste orsaken till skador hos kvinnor i näst intill alla länder i världen. Det kan vara myckeThe thesis deals with domestic violence as a ground for refugee status in international law, and in Swedish law as an example of the implementation in a national system. Domestic violence against women occurs in all countries, cultures and social classes in the world. This kind of violence is the most common cause of injury of women in close to all countries of the world. It can be very difficult
The reaction rate coefficient k(CH3Br + OH) has been determined in the temperature range 298-373 K, using pulse radiolysis/UV kinetic spectroscopy, and at 298 K using a relative rate method. The Arrhenius expression obtained from a fit to the experimental results is (2.9 +/- 0.9) x 10(-12) exp(-(1230 +/- 125)/T) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), which is greater than the expression currently recommended.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Gliom är den vanligaste typen av hjärntumörer hos vuxna. Den mikroskopiska klassificeringen av de olika formerna av gliom är subjektiv och i vissa fall t.o.m. felaktig, vilket leder till klinisk oklarhet som kan hindra utvecklingen av terapier som riktas mot speciella egenskaper som kännetecknar speciella typer av gliom. EGFR och PDGFRA är en cellreceptor som har en cenGlioma is the most common type of primary tumor in the adult central nervous system (CNS). However, the current classification of gliomas is highly subjective and even inaccurate in some cases, which leads to clinical confusion and hinders the development of targeted therapies. EGFR and PDGFRA play crucial roles in glia development and glioma pathogenesis. In this thesis we aim to establish a glia
In this paper we introduce and study a certain intricate Cantor-like set C contained in unit interval. Our main result is to show that the set C itself, as well as the set of dissipative points within C, both have Hausdorff dimension equal to 1. The proof uses the transience of a certain non-symmetric Cauchy-type random walk.
Fix any n≥1. Let X~1,…,X~n be independent random variables. For each 1≤j≤n, X~j is transformed in a canonical manner into a random variable Xj. The Xj inherit independence from the X~j. Let sy and s∗y denote the upper 1y th −−− quantile of Sn=∑nj=1Xj and S∗n=sup1≤k≤nSk, respectively. We construct a computable quantity Q−−y based on the marginal distributions of X1,…,Xn to produce upper and lower b
