This thesis presents an application of machine learning techniques in a search for a high-mass resonance particle decaying into top quark pairs in high energy dijet events using the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Top tagging is applied to the dijet events to select the events with top signature and suppress the background, increasing the sensitivity of the search. All the data used
In this study, the comprehension of English loanword truncations in Japanese will be investigated. Both Japanese native speakers and learners of Japanese will display their ability to truncate different kinds of gairaigo compound loanwords. I wanted to find out how native Japanese speakers and learners of the Japanese language compared in the truncating process. I found out that Japanese natives a
This study explores mediating factors in the relationship between trait everyday sadism and aggressive behavioural styles. This study’s purpose was to uncover the psychological processes underlying this ‘trait-behaviour’ relationship by examining two of these potential mediators; hostile perceptions and biases in emotionality. The study used a mixture of standard personality questionnaires and nov
Research question/s: What are the factors influencing the exploratory capability of a corporate accelerator and how do these factors influence the exploratory capability of a corporate accelerator? Methodology: The study was conducted through a single case study and followed a qualitative research strategy on the corporate accelerator as a new phenomenon of organizational separation. The data was
Glacier advances in the Écrins massif (French Alps) during the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene are poorly constrained. Based on field observations, a high-resolution digital elevation model and an orthophoto, glacial landforms in the upper Drac Blanc catchment were mapped. Thanks to 42 new 10Be exposure ages, the timing of the stabilisation of selected moraines was constrained. The application
Metoderna som används för att göra den globala livsmedelsförsörjningen tryggare har bytt fokus från själva produktionen av jordbruksgrödor till att öka människors tillgänglighet till marknader. Analyser visar att det finns ett samband mellan inkomst, avlägsenhet, och hur stor andel av god jordbruksmark faktiskt används för jordbruk. För att beräkna tillgänglighet krävs fullständig, uppdaterad, ocContemporary approaches to improving food security amongst the world’s vulnerable populations have shifted from attempts to improve crop yield to improving accessibility to markets. Analyses show that there is a correlation between income, distance from cities, and the ratio of potential agricultural production to realised agricultural production. Complete, up-to-date, and reliable road network
This study argues that there is a problem in previous literature regarding theunderstanding of value in city brand communication. Value construction has been overemphasized, at the expenses of value destruction, which is problematic because there is a mutual relationship between value construction and destruction. City brand communication is distorted, and therefore, groups are excluded when inten
Due to its high vulnerability, permafrost is one of the key features studied in the field of climate change impacts. Permafrost is widespread in the Arctic region. The majority of the area underlain by permafrost is however difficult to access for in-situ monitoring and it is difficult to get an overview of the current state of permafrost in many areas. Permafrost modeling provides a solution whi
The purpose of this study is to investigate the barriers of consumer adoption of digital technologies in retail stores. Specifically, this thesis examines the underlying reasons behind consumer reluctance towards the adoption of digital devices in retail stores and how to overcome this customer reluctance towards digital tools in retailing from a consumer perspective. Furthermore, the research ado
It has for long been undecided among critics whether Forster should be counted as belonging to the modernist literary tradition or not. This essay will analyse Howards End’s sea imagery, the notion of the sea when it is used as a symbol or in any other type of imagery. The sea when used as a symbol has several possible interpretations, and these interpretations have connection to the thoughts and
Commercial fishing makes the coastal inlet in Hornafjörður to an important navigational link for the port of Höfn in southeast Iceland. Low water depth caused through sediment accumulation along the ebb shoal generates navigational problems and the phenomenon of glacial rebound seems to intensify this problem. Economic losses caused by the inability of fishing boats to navigate through the coastal
In this thesis, the intrinsic magnetic characteristic of 10 nm FeCr oxide nanoparticles is studied. The nanoparticles is produced using the method of Spark discharge generation. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to characterize the size distribution and coverage of deposited particle. Magnetic characterization is carried out using a magnetometer equipped with superconducting quantum inter
Insect monitoring has earlier been a manual, tedious and time consuming task that is impossible to do in real time. Thus there exists a need for a real time automatic insect monitoring system for counting and classifying insect for use in scientific research and pesticide spraying control. One approach to automatize this is using LIDAR to detect insects. In this thesis it has been explored how to d
Bakgrund: I Sverige finns det skillnader gällande vilken smärtlindring kvinnor får under sin förlossning. Syfte: Att belysa barnmorskors erfarenhet av att stödja kvinnor i deras val gällande smärtlindring under förlossning. Metod: En kvalitativ studie. Öppna intervjuer med 15 barnmorskor vid två förlossningskliniker i södra Sverige. Analysen genomförd enligt Burnards innehållsanalys. Resulta
Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa transpersoners utsatthet och att blottlägga de normer om kön och sexualitet som bidrar till att personer som avviker från dessa utsätts för hot, våld och diskriminering. Studieobjekt utgörs av filmen The Danish Girl och de metodologiska verktygen har sin grund i en filmanalys. Undersökningens centrala tema handlar om vilka föreställningar om kön och sexualitet so
Background Medical data in the form of radiographic routine scans is steadily accumulating. The analysis of such data through automated quantitative methods is believed to produce new information which would allow for more personalization of therapy. The present thesis investigated the use of such methods in head and neck cancer. Material and methods Pretreatment positron emission tomography (PET
År 2000 antog FN:s säkerhetsråd resolution 1325 om kvinnor, fred och säkerhet. Som följd har svenska Försvarsmakten publicerat en handbok för integreringen av ett genderperspektiv, både i verksamheten och i internationella operationer. Handboken utgör undersökningens primärmaterial och beskriver att integreringen av ett genderperspektiv både är ett medel och ett mål. Syftet är således att undersökYear 2000 the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 1325 on women, peace and security. As a result the Swedish Armed Forces published a handbook for integration of a gender perspective, both in the organization and in their international operations. The handbook is the primary material of this thesis and it describes that the gender perspective is not only a goal in itself, but also a
Research within the field of energy efficient building techniques applied on Nepalese residential houses are a rare sight. Previous researchers have studied vernacular architecture in the country in aspects of climate-responsive design, but it is hard to find case studies on how material or architectural changes can improve the indoor climate in specific house types and climate zones in the countr
Solidaritet är ett av de grundläggande värdena i Europeiska unionen och har varit en ledstjärna för den gemensamma europeiska asylpolitiken sedan 90-talet. Under andra halvan av 2015 ökade drastiskt antalet flyktingar och migranter som för- sökte eller lyckades ta sig till Europa. För hanteringen av denna situation antog Europeiska rådet två beslut för omplaceringen av sammanlagt 160 000 personer
Around the world there is an increasing number of urban freight transports. A society is dependent on these transports to be able to fulfill the need of its citizens. However, a lot of these transportations emit pollutants and contribute to congestion, noise and traffic safety problems. Although there are many stakeholders and actors involved in these processes, this thesis will look at this probl
