This work presents a new inclusive search for supersymmetry (SUSY) by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 7 TeV in final states with jets, missing transverse momentum and one or more isolated electrons and/or muons. The search is based on data from the full 2011 data-taking period, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1).
Vaccine hesitancy is considered as one of the greatest challenges to control the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A related challenge is the unwillingness of the general public to pay for vaccination. The objective of this study was to determine willingness-to-pay (WTP) for COVID-19 vaccine among individuals from ten low-middle-income countries (LMICs) in Asia, Africa, and Sou
Study objectives: Following traumatic events, people frequently experience distressing, involuntary memories of them (i.e., intrusions). Accumulating evidence suggests that sleep facilitates voluntary memory retrieval by supporting memory consolidation, but it is less clear what effect sleep has on intrusions. Recent research has used distressing film clips as a proxy for traumatizing events and e
Long-term population studies can identify changes in population dynamics over time. However, to realize meaningful conclusions, these studies rely on accurate measurements of individual traits and population characteristics. Here, we evaluate the accuracy of the observational methods used to measure reproductive traits in individually marked black-tailed godwits (Limosa limosa limosa). By comparin
My research centres on a topic that will be familiar to many of you – namely the proliferation of paperwork and documentation demands that characterises work in many contemporary organisations. More specifically, I take as my point of departure a crux from the Swedish education sector, namely that there is a broad will – from actors at all levels of the schooling system – politicians, the Swedish
Background: The European ALLTogether protocol for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, initiated in Sweden 2019, introduced earlier asparaginase during induction, dexamethasone instead of prednisone for all patients, and omitted anthracyclines from low-risk induction to reduce treatment-related toxicity. Consolidation-1 was based on the Induction 1B-phase developed by the BFM-group, replacing m
Bedömning av ett barns talsvårigheter behöver baseras på flera uppgifter och testmetoder för att möjliggöra identifiering av den eller de talproduktionsnivåer som är inblandade. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur ett benämningstest och ett dynamiskt motoriskt taltest bidrog till observationer av talbeteenden förenliga med brister i talmotorisk planering. Deltagarna var 28 barn mellan tre ochThe assessment of a child’s speech problem should incorporate several tasks and sampling methods to identify the difficulties appointing the speech production level/s involved. This study aimed to investigate how a dynamic motor speech test contributed to a naming test in observing speech characteristics consistent with deficits of speech motor planning. Participants were 28 children, 3 to 9 years
OBJECTIVE: Radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer is associated with an inherent risk of complications and even postoperative mortality. The number of hospitals performing RC has decreased in Sweden over time, and since a formal regional centralization in 2017 cystectomy care is currently provided by nine hospitals. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the Swedish National Urinary Bladder Cancer Register
Introduction: Atrial septal defect is the third most common CHD. A hemodynamically significant atrial septal defect causes volume overload of the right side of the heart. Preterm children may suffer from both pulmonary and cardiac comorbidities, including altered myocardial function. The aim of this study was to compare the rate of adverse events following atrial septal defect closure in preterm-
Deception research has neglected the fact that legal-workers often have to try to detect deceit on the basis of statements derived from pairs of suspects, each having been interrogated repeatedly. To remedy this shortcoming we conducted a study where each member of 10 truth-telling pairs and 10 lying pairs was interrogated twice about an alibi. One hundred and twenty undergraduate students were en
Anomaly detection is becoming a powerful and necessary component as wireless networks gain popularity. In this paper, we evaluate the efficacy of PCA based anomaly detection for wireless mesh networks (WMN). PCA based method [1] was originally developed for wired networks. Our experiments show that it is possible to detect different types of anomalies, such as Denial-of-service (DoS) attack, port
Objective: Cigarette smoking has been reported as "probable" risk factor for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a poorly understood disease in terms of aetiology. The extensive longitudinal data of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) were used to evaluate age-specific mortality rates from ALS and the role of cigarette smoking on the risk of dying from ALS. Met
Climate change is occurring more rapidly in the Arctic than elsewhere, and is predicted to have a large impact on biodiversity, since entire cold-adapted ecosystems are likely to disappear. Here, we highlight changes in the insect species richness and community composition of wild bees, butterflies and moths over 60 years in an area situated above the tree limit (Padjelanta National Park) in north
In general patterns of lifestyles and behaviour are involved in a complex of factors and social circumstances which easily get lost in analysing the relation between attitudes and behaviour separately. In processes where behaviour are expected to change in a direction where environmental impacts are considered social factors should not be neglected. Even small changes in behaviour have to be coord
Popular Abstract in Swedish Små partiklar i form av vätska eller fast material mellan 0.001 till 100 µm i diameter, kan sväva i luften och kallas då aerosolpartiklar. De påverkar direkt på klimatet genom att reflektera solstrålar ut till rymden. Detta gör att vi får ett kallare klimat. Indirekt kan de påverka klimatet genom att verka som kondensationskärnor vid molnbildning. Med detta påverkar de The aim of this work was to study atmospheric aerosols, focusing on the chemical composition, the morphology and the origin of the aerosol in the upper troposphere and lowermost stratosphere. An aerosol sampler was developed for this purpose. A new method for quantitative analysis of the major components of the aerosol, i.e. C, N and O was developed, and methodologies for single-particle analysis
Well testing is widely used today in water wells, oil and gas wells, for geothermal applications, within civil engineering projects, thermal storage and CO2 storage. The overall testing goal is to verify the productivity from a well and/or for characterization of hydraulic and thermal properties, as well as the spatial limitations of an aquifer. There are three major methods for conducting well te
The cognitive abilities explained by cognitive science and cognitive semantics can inform us concerning the use of metaphors in science. The thesis is that abstract ideas rest on experiences of the concrete world. In this paper I will explain the use of conceptual metaphors in science, with examples from the mechanistic worldview of the 17th and 18th century. If we proceed from the way people thin
