In models of anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB), the lightest chargino is predicted to have a lifetime long enough to be detected in collider experiments. This letter explores AMSB scenarios in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV by attempting to identify decaying charginos which result in tracks that appear to have few associated hits in the outer region of the tracking system. The search
Due to the development of technology, the value of the IP protected goods increases, and so does the harm done by the infringers. The TRIPS Agreement expressly provides for criminal sanctions for the serious cases of trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy where the offences are committed willfully and on commercial scale. The TRIPS Agreement also reserves a possibility for introduction of m
Being a very important part of property per se, intellectual property is performing the duty of securing social development by providing incentives for inventors to create and thus benefit society. It is of no doubt this property should be protected. However, this protection should not encroach upon other rights, such as human rights, in particular the right to adequate food&semic thus, intell
The increasing spread of global pandemics such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria, in particular in developing countries, has forced the engagement of industrialized countries and pharmaceutical companies. Because medicines to cure these diseases are often under patent protection, they are not affordable for people in developing countries where health crises prevail. In November 2001, WTO
PURPOSE The purpose of this thesis is to investigate why companies currently are not using social media for IR in Sweden. More specific, we are studying driving and inhibiting factors that are influencing Swedish companies to use, or not to use, this communication technology for IR. METHOD Our thesis addresses the attitudes towards using social media for IR among Swedish companies listed on the OM
Natural resources hold a great potential for both economic and social development in developing countries. Many countries in Africa today are rich in natural resources but remain poor and underdeveloped. Policies and legislation within this sector need to provide a good framework in order for the natural resources to be properly managed. This report aims at discussing the difficulties in managing
To feel good is something most of us strive for in life. Research has shown that it is possible to increase subjective well-being by use of different self-help techniques from the field of positive psychology. The aim of this study was to investigate if it is possible to decrease depressive symptoms and increase the subjective well-being in a group of district nurses by applying a self-help techni
Germany’s current energy grid was built to match energy production from major power plants (coal, gas, nuclear). Due to the 2011 decision to exit all nuclear power until 2022 and ambitious national CO 2 reduction targets, the need to modernise and extend the grid has received substantial attention. In the past, implementation of grid extension projects had shown to be slow and raise serious pu
Uppsatsen behandlar hur handläggare inom fyra olika myndigheter klarar av sin jobbiga arbetssituation. Avsikten med studien är att försöka ta reda på vilka sociala strategier handläggarna måste utveckla för att klara av sin arbetsdag samt var de hittar motivation för att kunna utföra sina arbetsuppgifter. En kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer används, då jag vill komma åt han
Hydroelectric power is a controversial renewable energy. Adding more renewables to the energy mix is becoming more critical with the onslaught of climate change, while river health and water quality remain a highly pertinent environmental issue. Balancing the need for local renewable energy and environmental concerns is the topic of many cases. This thesis analyzes a case of conflict surrounding t
Global dependence on fossil fuels encourages the depletion of non-renewable resources, produces greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately contributes to anthropogenic climate change. Current efforts do not reduce depletion rates of these non-renewable resources despite collective action to improve long-term sustainability of Norwegian energy governance in the Barents Sea. This study focuses on the
'Identity' is a frequently used concept within the field of European studies, which has resulted in a myriad of different perspectives on what its meaning entails. As such, the meaning of identity is often claimed to be ambiguous, which causes problems for methodology related issues. This thesis suggests that the field of European Studies as a research area has to adjust its approach to th
In the last few years, we have seen an emerging activity among library institutions to release their catalogue data under the terms that are often referred to as “linked, open data”. The linked, open data concept brings some new features to the practice of bibliographic data exchange: It is done in a linked data environment following the technical principles of what is called the “semantic web”. I
Traditionsprincipen har tillämpats sedan lång tid tillbaka, detta trots att den saknar stöd i lag. Huvudregeln är att en köpare vinner sakrättsligt skydd mot säljarens borgenärer genom att ta den köpta egendomen i besittning. Således räcker det inte med ett köpeavtal för att köparen ska få sakrättsligt skydd mot säljarens borgenärer vid en konkurs eller utmätning. Det finns författare i doktrinenThe doctrine of tradition has been applied for a long time, even though it has no basis in law. The general rule is that a buyer wins protection against the seller's creditors by taking possession purchased of the property. Thus is a purchase contract not enough for the buyer to get right in rem against the seller’s creditors in a bankruptcy or foreclosure. There are authors in the doctrine t
Senegalese smallholders up to date face high constraints regarding their generation of livelihoods from agriculture. Restricted access to productive resources and participation in finance, input and output markets are root causes for these constraints. While the potential of collective action to address institutional constraints of smallholder agriculture has been widely acknowledged, success sto
