This project uses proton-proton collision data from the ALICE experiment at CERN to investigate the differences between three ways to classify events, known as event shape classifiers. The event shape classifiers that were investigated are RT , spherocity and flattenicity. The motivation behind this is the consistent use of these classifiers to select events when investigating the heavy-ion like
The empirical analysis conducted in this study explores the determinants of leverage thus capital structure formation in the European banking sector from 2012 to 2023.

Lymphatic metastasis is a critical determinant of poor prognosis in various human cancers, facilitating further dissemination through the vascular system. However, the absence of an appropriate murine model impedes the comprehensive study of lymphatic metastasis. To address this, the host laboratory employs the EO771 mouse mammary carcinoma model, which ectopically expresses the chemokine receptor
One way to reduce the growing workload for radiologists is to automate the trans- formation of 3D MR images of the brain into the AC-PC coordinate system. In this thesis, both non-deformable and deformable image registration methods were used to register images to a template in the desired space, the AC-PC coordinate system. First, three non-deformable transformations were used together with three
On January 1, 2022, the first requirement regarding climate declarations was introduced. This mandate specified that all new buildings must include climate declarations during the construction phase, encompassing modules A1-A5. In 2025, limit values are also planned to be added for the existing modules included in the 2022 climate declarations. These required values will be implemented as a signif
Since 2010 and the enactment of the primary care reform, accredited private providers have been allowed unrestricted establishment in Sweden.

Although Ghana is often seen as a prime example of a stable democracy with legal frameworks for the protection of children, exploitative child labour practices remain widespread. The theoretical understanding of chi
Nowadays, archaeological museums are open to innovation with an ever-changing character in order to remain relevant to contemporary museology in terms of dissemination of knowledge. In that spirit, digital technologies have been used systematically by museums in an effort to move beyond their ocular-centric nature, resulting in the integration of multisensory practices within the exhibition space.
