In the study of insect neuroanatomy, three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of neurons and neuropils have become a standard technique. As images have to be obtained from whole-mount brain preparations, pigmentation on the brain surface poses a serious challenge to imaging. In insects, this is a major problematic in the first visual neuropil of the optic lobe, the lamina, which is obstructed by the
The results of a search for pair production of the lighter scalar partners of top quarks ((t) over bar (1)) in 2.05 fb(-1) of pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV using the ATLAS experiment at the LHC are reported. Scalar top quarks are searched for in events with two same flavour opposite-sign leptons (e, mu) with invariant mass consistent with the Z boson mass, large missing transverse momentum and j
A search for Higgs boson pair production [Formula: see text] is performed with 19.5 fb[Formula: see text] of proton-proton collision data at [Formula: see text] TeV, which were recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. The decay products of each Higgs boson are reconstructed as a high-momentum [Formula: see text] system with either a pair of small-radius jets or a single
Background: Since barrier protection measures to avoid contact with allergens are being increasingly developed, we assessed the clinical efficacy and tolerability of a topical nasal microemulsion made of glycerol esters in patients with allergic rhinitis. Methods: Randomized, controlled, double-blind, parallel group, multicentre, multinational clinical trial in which adult patients with allergic r
A search is presented for a narrow resonance decaying to a pair of Z bosons using data corresponding to 1.02 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected by the ATLAS experiment from pp collisions at root s= 7 TeV. Events containing either four charged leptons (llll) or two charged leptons and two jets (lljj) are analyzed and found to be consistent with the Standard Model background expectation. Lowe
Fibromyalgi innebär smärta i muskelfibrer och är en komplex sjukdom med många och skiftande symtom. Sjukdomen är som mest utbredd bland kvinnor i arbetsför ålder och kan påverka arbetsförmågan. Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka och beskriva vilka arbetsuppgifter personer med fibromyalgi upplever som svåra att utföra. Vi ville även undersöka vilka anpassningar som är av betydelse för att en p
Uppsatsen ?Hur mår du lilla hjärnan?? syftar till att klargöra varför det finns få kvinnliga chefer på toppnivå inom den offentliga sektorn. Studiens första del utgörs av en litteraturstudie där vi utifrån teorier om glastaket, könsmärkta organisationer samt socialkonstruktivism, fastställer rådande ledarskapsdiskurs samt klarlägger de hinder som är mest relevanta. Studiens andra del är empirisk o
According to many scholars America's soft power is in decline, a power resource whose importance has been increasing in world politics. This makes it interesting to examine if there is a difference between how Democratic and Republican administrations wield their soft power. This thesis is a hypothesis-testing study and the purpose is to test the hypothesis that Democratic administrations, to
The study field of the thesis is regional integration in Africa. The focus is set on the African Union (AU) and its main programme for promoting democracy on the continent, the New Partnership for Africa´s Development (NEPAD). By applying two theories, one on democratization through regional organizations and the other on hidden agendas within them, the thesis makes an assessment on the work for d
This thesis is a case study of a Spanish castle called Aljafería. The objective of the study was to develop the mediation of this particular castle and to construct a research design that could be used to develop the mediation of other architectural heritage visitor attractions. The research design emerged during the course of the case study, using a grounded method perspective. The most dominant
The main purpose of this paper was to attempt to explain and to understand the causes of various types of eating disorders. The intention of the essay was to examine who are the different parties acting in this particular field that through research or other kinds of work, come to meet individuals that suffer from some kind of eating disorder. The aim was to explore the different concepts used wi
The ongoing Europeanisation is readily identifiable in our day-to-day life. Particularly in the field of law, the elaboration of a uniform and harmonised European private law is promoted and a truly European legal science is forced. Yet, comparative law and unification of law have concentrated on certain areas, which include mainly commercial law and related areas of civil law. The main issue of t
Roots play a key role in terrestrial carbon and water cycles, and therefore for the global climate system. They mediate plant evapotranspiration, influence photosynthetic processes and are responsible for atmospheric carbon transport into the pedosphere. Fine roots, in particular, are chiefly regulating water and nutrient uptake. Recent research has suggested that the representation of fine roots
Brown seaweeds are marine macro algae, which are quite unexplored for their potential uses in food products in Europe. Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta are fast growing brown seaweeds species in European countries, mainly found in Norway and cold waters of the North Atlantic. These species are known to be rich sources of iodine, protein, polyphenols, carbohydrates and micronutrients like
The claims for the potential of boreal and sub-boreal forests to combat negative effects of climate change have been substantial with over half of Earth’s primary forests found within boreal and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Given the likely occurrence of more extreme climate events in the future, ascertaining a better understanding of how climate effects, such as profound fluctu
The aim of this study was to investigate the strategies foreign-born women choose to use in order to succeed in establishing themselves in the labor market in their new home country and to illustrate the reasoning of foreign-born women about negative and positive experiences in their situation. Foreign-born women are often faced with unemployment to a greater extent than foreign-born men and nativ
This study has sought to propose didactical approaches to find a balance between the teaching of classic and contemporary literature in the Swedish EFL classroom by exploring and comparing the attitudes of Swedish upper secondary school teachers and students towards both forms of literature. The study was conducted through two quantitative questionnaires, one researching the attitudes of 44 EFL st
Syfte: Studiens syfte var att beskriva patienters erfarenheter och upplevelser av digital artrosvård, självständig artroshantering och hälsa efter 4–7 månaders självständig artroshantering. Material och metoder: Tolv patienter med höft- eller knäartros intervjuades 4–7 månader efter avslutad behandling. Semistrukturerad intervju användes som metod för datainsamling. Intervjuerna transkriberades or
This thesis examines the social unfolding of the recent deplatformization of the far-right extremes on Telegram. Leaving prior approaches to moderation behind, this study asks questions around how moderation imprints itself on the complex terrain of meaning and practice, interacts with intensified reflexiveness of the social agents, and leaves affected collectivities changed in unanticipated ways.
