A search for the single production of a vectorlike top partner (Formula Presented) with mass greater than 1 TeV decaying into a Formula Presented boson and a top quark is presented, using the full Run 2 dataset corresponding to Formula Presented of Formula Presented collisions at Formula Presented, collected in 2015-2018 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The targeted final stat

Galektiner är små proteiner som finns i vår kropp och de förekommer antingen intracellulärt och i cytoplasman eller extracellulärt. De binder till kolhydrater på cellytan med hög affinitet, speciellt de som innehåller galaktos och det avgör dess viktiga roll i de olika fysiologiska processerna i kroppen. De är involverade i modulering av cellulära processer såsom programmerad celldöd när cellen ärGalectins are glycan-binding proteins that can reprogram the function of many cell types. They are involved in different positive and negative physiological functions in the human body including inflammation and autophagy. Thus, they have been suggested as therapeutic targets for tumour progression and they have been proposed as biomarkers for diagnosis. Galectins bind to the carbohydrates on the

Ökad urbanisering och klimatförändringar har ökat risken för pluviala översvämningar i våra tätorter. Det finns idag många olika tillvägagångssätt att kartlägga vår exponering till översvämningsrisker. Det här arbetet undersöker innovativa metoder att använda enklare översvämningsverktyg för att öka resurseffektiviteten. Studien adresserar användningen av upptryckningsvolymer från endimensionella

I dagens samhälle präglas vår samtid av nyheter om krigsdrabbade områden och naturkatastrofer, vilket är två orsaker till att migrationen runt om i världen ökar. Människor förlorar sina hem och vissa är på ständig flykt. Detta är ett fruktansvärt öde som också bidrar till spridningen av sjukdomar som tidigare varit begränsade till vissa kontinenter. Chagas sjukdom, även känd som amerikansk trypaChagas disease, also known as American Trypanosomiasis, is a parasitic infection caused by the triatomine bugs, commonly referred to as kissing bugs. It is the deadliest parasitic disease in South America but has spread beyond this region due to migration and climate change. Approximately 70 million people are at risk of infection, and there is no cure for the chronic phase of the disease. In prev

Conclusion: Education, but not occupation, was differentially associated with adult asthma phenotypes in the general population. Further research into socioeconomic status variation in various asthma phenotypes is warranted.

Agarose is a well-established material in many applications of biochemistry and biotechnology. Agarose gels are used for electrophoresis of very large molecules such as DNA and agarose-based particles are used as chromatographic media for separation of all sorts of biomolecules, particularly proteins. Prominent commercial examples of agarose-based separation particles are exemplied by the brand na

In Oslo, small-scale private landlords dominate the private rental sector (PRS). The characteristic ownership structure has given way to intermediary actors, such as letting agents and online platforms, operating between landlords and tenants. The findings of this thesis show that intermediaries in the Oslo PRS do not play the role as neutral middlemen, but on the contrary represent the market int

The fishing industry is vital for global food security, providing nutrient-rich food, supporting livelihoods, and contributing to economic growth. As the global population continues to grow, it is essential to approach fishing in a sustainable way and preserve marine ecosystems. The United Nations has recognized overfishing as a significant issue. For 2017, it was estimated that about 34% of fish

Audio Description (AD) is developing fast, becoming the norm for big streaming platforms. However, the research field remains largely underexplored. When comparing AD practices between countries, studies seem to focus on guidelines rather than how these are used, or not, by audio describers. Additionally, not enough emphasis is placed on cross-varietal differences of English AD, and in cases when

I provide evidence of social spillovers of personality by showing that being in class with motivated peers affects educational success. I first document that academic motivation, a key aspect of personality in the context of education, predicts own achievement, classroom behavior, high school GPA, and college-test taking among elementary school students. Exploiting random assignment of students to

A statistical combination of various searches for pair-produced leptoquarks is presented, using the full LHC Run 2 (2015–2018) data set of 139 fb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector from proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV. All possible decays of the leptoquarks into quarks of the third generation and charged or neutral leptons of any generation are investigated. Since

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was recovered from a solution by affinity binding to an N6-(6-aminohexyl)-AMP-Sepharose gel. An enzyme thermistor unit was employed to continously measure the activity of the unbound LDH. The enzyme activity signal from the enzyme thermistor was used in a PID controller to regulate the addition of AMP-Sepharose gel to the LDH solution. In another type of experiment, a d

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), spearheaded by China, represents a transformative global infrastructure and economic development strategy. This thesis investigates the intricate ramifications of the BRI in East Africa, with a focus on Kenya's and Tanzania's strategic engagements. Adopting a qualitative exploratory approach grounded in secondary data sources, the study examines how thes

This study investigates the impact of classroom conflict and social cap- ital on different measures of human capital accumulation in middle school and high school students from El Salvador. Using class-level measures of mutual enmity and friendship obtained through network analysis and exploiting exogenous variation in the proportion of students who have repeated the school year, I obtain consiste

Hållbar mobilitet innebär bland annat att prioritera aktiva färdmedel, närhet och tillgänglighet. Det handlar om mer än minskade utsläpp, det handlar också om att ”sätta människan i centrum”, om att skapa livskraftiga och välmående samhällen för alla, och samtidigt förbättra förutsättningarna för välbefinnande i ett rättvist och jämlikt samhälle, både inom och mellan generationer. Rapporten syftar

Den uppsats undersöker hur varumärken som Gymshark och Tala använder behind-the- scenes (BTS) innehåll för att framstå som mer autentiska, vilket visar en övergång från en felfri varumärkesbild till genuint engagemang. Den analyserar BTS-innehållets roll i att avslöja ett varumärkes verkliga verksamhet och främja starkare konsumentrelaterade relationer genom igenkänningsfaktorer och sårbarhet. DesThis thesis examines how brands like Gymshark and Tala use behind-the-scenes (BTS) content to appear more authentic, showcasing a shift from polished marketing to genuine engagement. It analyses BTS-content's role in revealing a brand's true operations and fostering stronger consumer connections through relatability and vulnerability. Additionally, it applies Erving Goffman's Self-Pres

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts covered in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book examines how digital technologies interact with consumer society in a broad range of processes that can be termed the digitalization of consumption. It addresses the larger implications of digitalization processes for society and markets, including the social sciences, companies, co

Background: Young adults with autism often have problems with body awareness, also acknowledged by physiotherapists. This may interfere with various physiological and psychological responses, expressed in reduced movement quality. Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) may be suitable to address these difficulties, to enhance body awareness and movement quality to manage everyday life. Body Awareness
