A search is conducted for new phenomena in events with a top quark pair and large missing transverse momentum, where the top quark pair is reconstructed in final states with one isolated electron or muon and multiple jets. The search is performed using the Large Hadron Collider proton-proton collision data sample at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector that correspo
Background and purposeHYPO-RT-PC was the first phase 3 trial showing the long-term efficacy and safety of extremely hypofractionated radiotherapy schedules (ultra-hypofractionation or stereotactic body radiotherapy) compared with standard radiotherapy in localised prostate cancer. We aimed to verify their safety in the context of a clinical trial, by comparing events of potentially radiotherapy-re
Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, which has extensive pathology that critically includes the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. This loss leads to debilitating motor features such as bradykinesia and rigidity, as well as some non-motor symptoms. Intracerebral dopamine cell transplants have been explored for many years as a new approach to treating PD
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) remains a preventable cause of acute viral hepatitis, with an estimated 159 million new infections and 39 000 deaths in 2019. Although improved care and hygiene reduced deaths, global incidence rose by approximately 4%, driven by increased symptomatic cases and population growth. The availability of safe and highly immunogenic vaccines and the absence of chronic carriage ma
A search is presented for new particles produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV that result in final states comprising a massive vector (W or Z) boson that decays hadronically and large missing transverse momentum. The data sample was collected with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider from 2015 to 2018 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1
A search for a new heavy boson produced via gluon-fusion in the four-lepton channel with missing transverse momentum or jets is performed. The search uses proton-proton collision data equivalent to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector between 2015 and 2018 at the Large Hadron Collider. This study explores the decays of heavy boso
Purpose. Continuous minor steps of improvement in the management of breast cancer have resulted in decreased mortality rates during the last decades. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of patients with stage I breast cancer diagnosed during two time periods that differed with respect to adjuvant systemic therapy. Material and methods. The studied population consisted of all
Background and purpose: Patients with focal cartilage lesions experience functional impairment. Results for biological treatments in the middle-aged patient is poor. Previous studies with focal prosthetic inlay resurfacing have shown a higher risk of conversion to total knee replacement at mid-term follow-up. A novel customized implant (Episealer, Episurf, Stockholm, Sweden) has been proposed to i
A search for pair production of bottom squarks in events with hadronically decaying τ-leptons, b-tagged jets, and large missing transverse momentum is presented. The analyzed dataset is based on proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded by the ATLAS detector from 2015 to 2018, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. The observed da
Objective: This review aims to consolidate contemporary literature examining the impact of physical activity (PA) and exercise on sensitisation and pain perception in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain (cLBP). Methods: A semi-systematic approach was employed, utilising Pubmed and PEDro databases for the period between 2013-2023. Eligibility criteria included randomised control tri
Frågan om huruvida Sveriges medlemskap i EMU har blivit mer och mer aktuell under de senaste åren. För en stat så innebär ett anslutande till en valutaunion i ett nötskal att den ger upp sin självständiga penningpolitik i utbyte mot bland annat att handel och gränsöverskridande transaktioner underlättas. En del i det kan vara en lägre uppfattning om den risk som eventuellt hör samman med en valuta
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is a promising power storage solution for the challenges succeeding the Swedish renewable energy transition. Although, it is a niche innovation facing obstacles such as inadequate infrastructure, uncertainties of battery degradation and a lack of appropriate standards, which hinders its development. This thesis explores the business case for V2X for X Shore’s electric b
Biodiversity is today rapidly decreasing, and one of the main threats is land use intensification in forest landscapes. By improving the forest quality in the surrounding landscape of protected areas, the level of biodiversity could increase, and green infrastructure areas have been proposed as a method in Sweden. These areas are called Valuable Forest Areas (VFAs), and contain high densities of s
This thesis explores the effects of institutional arrangements for innovation in clusters. Clusters have become one of the most popular concepts in innovation policy studies in recent years. They have been ascribed as places with structures that reduce transaction costs, and enable innovation processes due to the prevalence of different types of externalities. The focus of this dissertation is on
A search is presented for production of a heavy up-type quark (t') together with its antiparticle, assuming subsequent decay to a W boson and a b quark, t'(t) over bar' -> W(+)bW(-)(b) over bar. The search is based on 1.04 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Data are analyzed in the lepton + jets final state, chara
Background: Practices regarding hospitalisation of children at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes vary both within countries and internationally, and high-quality evidence of best practice is scarce. The objective of this study was to close some of the gaps in evidence by comparing two alternative regimens for children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes: hospital-based care and hospital-based home care (HBH
The formation name Almelund Shale is proposed for a lithostratigraphically defined unit to replace the outdated chronostratigraphical designations Upper Didymograptus Shale and Dicellograptus Shale in the Middle and lowermost Upper Ordovician succession in Scania. The Almelund Shale is a lithologically uniform unit of dark-grey to black shales with rare carbonate interbeds between the Komstad Lime
BACKGROUND: The role of sleeping problems in the causal pathway between job strain and musculoskeletal pain is not clear. Purpose: To investigate the impact of sleeping problems and job strain on the one-year risk for neck, shoulder, and lumbar pain. METHOD: A prospective study, using self-administered questionnaires, of a healthy cohort of 4,140 vocationally active persons ages 45-64, residing in
Histopathology Analysis of sentinel node biopsy - a single-institution experience supporting the use of serial sectioning and immunohistochemistry for detection of micrometastases by comparing four different histopathological laboratory protocols Aims: Detecting micrometastases (>0.2 and ≤2 mm/>200 cells) and isolated tumour cells (ITCs; ≤0.2 mm/<200 cells) is important for staging of breast canc
