Vid partikelacceleratorn LHC pågår ett flertal experiment. Ett av dem är ALICE-experimentet där atomkärnor kollideras. När atomkärnor slås sönder bildas ett plasma av kvarkar och gluoner. I detta kvark–gluonplasma skapas bland annat nya exotiska kvarkar. En av dessa mer exotiska kvarkar är särkvarken. När tre stycken särkvarkar förenas så bildar de en Omega-partikel. Omegan sönderfaller i sin tur Ω- is a baryon which is rarely produced in proton collisions. The theoretical models for how these Ω- appear are yet not fully developed. Previous studies have shown that the experimental data did not agree with the models since more Ω- particles appeared in the proton collisions than expected. In the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) outside Geneva, protons are accelerated to high energies and collided

Bakgrund: Myalgisk encefalomyelit/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta debuterar i samband med kraftiga virusinfektioner. ME/CFS kan förändra individens förmåga att utföra aktiviteter i vardagen och möjligheter att upprätthålla vanor och rutiner, dock saknas det kunskap om personernas egna upplevelser. Syfte: Syftet med intervjustudien är att undersöka hur vuxna personeBackground: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic, disabling disease, which usually debuts in the wake of a severe virus infection. ME/CFS can influence a person’s ability to perform activities, to uphold routines and habits but there is little knowledge of their own experiences. Aim: The aim of this study is to explore how adults living with ME/CFS experience da

Sweden is facing a series of climate changes like the rest of world. The climate changes will contribute and subsequently change how we evaluate the risk of natural disasters. An important question is, therefore, how the municipal rescue services in Sweden are working towards climate change adaption. The aim of this study is to investigate how involved the communal rescue services are within the w

Following the development of new materials and the continuous technical progress made in the construction and energy industries, district heating as a concept finds itself on the brink of a generational shift. One of the pioneering projects leading the way is the creation of Brunnshög, an modern and sustainable district under construction in the north-eastern end of the city of Lund, Sweden. The a

För att minska våra växthusgasutsläpp, och nå Parisavtalets utsläppsmål, spelar fysisk planering en viktig roll. En del av fysisk planering är översiktsplaner, övergripande planer som kommuner skapar för att planera mark-och vattenanvändningen i kommunen under en längre tid. De är inte lagligt bindande, och inte lika detaljerade som detaljplaner. Men hur påverkar översiktsplaner det lokala klimataTo reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases by local efforts, physical planning plays an essential part. It can have a great impact on our greenhouse gas emissions, by deciding important things as transport and energy planning. This study aims to examine the role of municipal comprehensive planning in the work to reduce greenhouse gases. The study is based on a case study of Lund municipality, car

This thesis, The intersections of labour division – an intersectional archaeological and osteological study of labour division, based on the Ljungbacka grave field in Scania, Sweden, has been written with the intention of exploring new ways to approach, interpret and understand labour division. This has been done by practically applying intersectional theories to the Ljungbacka grave field, Lockar

This thesis explores the parametric and nonparametric approaches for estimating Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall through foreign exchange exposure. The data for this study was provided by Trelleborg Group. We look at the translational risk on the balance sheet when translating the Groups investments in foreign subsidiaries to SEK. In the parametric approach we make the assumption that the po

“Egypt - The most remarkable land on earth: A comparison between Michael Eneman and Johan Hedenborg's descriptions of Egypt's monuments and population”. Egypt has throughout the ages always intrigued people, tempting their curiosity to explore and witness the old monuments. This essay aims to analyse two Swedish travelers who went on a journey to Egypt and then compare their descriptions o

Services trade is increasingly becoming more important in the international economy. However, barriers to trade in services remain more obstructive than those to trade in goods. This paper uses the OECD Services Trade Restrictiveness Index to analyze the relationship between restrictions to trade in services and cross-border service exports. The empirical analysis is carried through with the help

The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh was for a long time an area of conjuration, affection, brotherhood, social and natural contribution in livelihood as well as harmony between nature and culture. At present, eight hundred thousand indigenous peoples in CHT are living in poverty, hunger, malnutrition, killings, conflicts, and imbalanced situation in society and economy. Different develo

Hur miljövänlig är hanteringen av mobiltelefoner och datorer som upphandlas av kommuner? Kommuner är organisationer som använder stora volymer av IT-produkter såsom mobiltelefoner och datorer. Då produkterna har en stor miljöpåverkan vid både tillverkningsprocessen, under tiden de används och till sist som avfall kan kommuner genom upphandling och sin användning av tekniken minska miljöpåverkan. The aim of this study was to examine how municipalities take environmental aspects into account when it comes to procurement and use of computers and mobile phones. Furthermore, the aim was to identify what happens to the products after its usage. The main methods employed were one survey with municipalities and semi-structured interviews with suppliers, municipalities, and other actors. The resul

There is a growing interest in integrating indoor and outdoor spaces and our experiences on both sides. Nevertheless, despite being a constant topic in architectural research, there is little academic work that shows the role of furniture as great tools for creating that connection. This degree project aims to show the enormous potential of furniture to be a useful tool to connect indoor and outd

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om tillitsfullt ledarskap har en positiv effekt på motivationen hos mellanstadielärare på kommunala skolor i Sverige. Tillitsfullt ledarskap beskrivs utifrån Bringselius teori om förmåga, integritet och hjälpvillighet hos ledaren. Begreppet motivation tar sin teoretiska ansats från Self-determination theory som beskriver de tre psykologiska behoven autonomi, koThe purpose of the thesis is to investigate if leadership characterised by trust has a positive effect on the motivation of middle-school teachers in municipal schools in Sweden. The description of trustful leadership is based on Bringselius theory, where a leader's trustworthiness is characterised by their ability, integrity and benevolence. Motivation is described on the basis of Self-determ

This thesis investigates a pattern of co-production within the field of science and technology studies as it applies to economic ideas and events of the 20th century. The intellectual traditions of Keynesian social liberalism and neoliberalism are traced historically. The economic crises of the 1970s, which highlighted the differences between said traditions, are described. An analysis follows in

This essay is based on an observation, made by the author, that the scenes in Malmö for rap battles and roast battles have actors in common. To identify and discuss why that is, the essay will conduct an aesthetic analysis and compare common tools used by rappers and comedians in the respective scenes. The analysis relies on discussions and theories about music as a performance and the term “music

Det blir allt vanligare att människor engagerar sig i grupper på sociala medier som belyser sociala orättvisor i samhället. Många kvinnor engagerar sig till exempel i feministiska grupper som belyser att kvinnor inte får lika stort utrymme i den allmänna debatten som män får. Instagramkontot Mansbebisar är en sådan feministisk grupp som endast finns till för kvinnor och som uppmärksammar problemen

We present a parton-level phenomenological study of triple-Higgs production at leading order in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 30 ab^-1. This study aims to estimate the prospects for measuring the signal hhh production observable at the Future Circular Collider. We explore interesting final states that could be used for this purpose

This essay examines the impact digitalization has on trade in services inside the European Union (EU). Furthermore, it investigates whether countries with discrepancies in the degree of digitalization have identified such trade effects to different scopes. Initially, the application method used in this study is the gravity model using panel data with a disaggregated dataset from The Organisation f

Förlust av biodiversitet är ett av de största globala miljöbetingade problemen idag. Arter står inför ökande och potentiellt synergistiska hot från markomvandling och överexploatering av naturresurser, från globala såväl som lokala socioekonomiska krafter. Populationerna av ryggradsdjur har mellan år 1970 och 2016 visat på en global genomsnittlig minskning på 68 procent. Större djur, s.k. megafaunThe critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) has, due to previous hunting and habitat loss, diminished to a few non-viable and fragmented populations. Despite a relatively large amount of conservation efforts during the last 30 years, numbers are still declining. Accurate numbers today are unknown, since the species is rare. Information indicates that less than 100 indi
