To improve cardiovascular research, there is a growing need for arterial characterization in small animals. We developed a method, ARTIC (arterial characterization) for measuring lumen diameter, distension and intima media thickness (IMT). In this study ARTIC was used to automatically characterize the aorta of premature rabbit pups. Automatic measurements were compared with manual measurements, bo
The production of a W boson in association with a single charm quark is studied using 4.6 fb(-1) of pp collision data at root s = 7 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. In events in which a W boson decays to an electron or muon, the charm quark is tagged either by its semileptonic decay to a muon or by the presence of a charmed meson. The integrated and differential
We investigate the growth and the physical and optical properties of type-II heterostructured ZnTe/ZnSe colloidal nanocrystals, focusing on the role of the 7% lattice mismatch between the two materials in determining growth homogeneity and band structure. We find that the lattice mismatch between the two materials places limitations on the range of structures that can be grown, and for those in wh
The feasibility of digesting energy crops supplemented with macro- and micronutrients instead of manure, without the commonly applied long hydraulic retention time (HRT), was investigated in long-term, single-stage continuous stirred tank processes. The crops used were mixtures of sugar beets, maize and whole crop triticale. The organic loading rate (OLR) measured as a total solid (TS) was 1.5-5.5
This paper analyzes the impact of skilled emigration on the economic development of sending countries. Specifically, our study is concerned with how feedback effects of brain drain may mitigate some of the loss incurred from the outflow of talent. We construct an endogenous growth model incorporating skilled emigration to consider in detail how the inflow of remittances, network externalities of t
Abstract The care for the environment in investment situations is rising among different groups of investors, due to social and psychological factors. Existing studies on nonpecuniary preferences for the environment are focused on measuring the proportion of individuals with green agendas, whereas we focus on measuring also magnitudes, i.e. how much future wealth are people actually prepared to gi
Konceptet ekonomiskt värde är vare sig väl utforskat eller konsekvent tillämpat inom det skatterättsliga området. Olika skattesystem bedömer värde utifrån sina egna perspektiv och intressen vilket skapar situationer där olika skattemässiga värden bestäms för samma transaktion. Ansträngningar har gjorts för att harmonisera värderingar mellan tull och internprissättning. Dessa har dock stött på motsThe concept of economic value is not well explored nor consistently applied in the field of taxation. Different systems of taxation assess value from their own perspectives and with their own interests in mind resulting in situations where different values for taxation are determined for the same transaction. Efforts have been made to harmonise valuations between customs and transfer pricing. This
Our thesis, The Valley Of Trust, attempts to build upon current literature on cultural diversity and its effect on trust by answering the question; How does cultural diversity affect trust within an international team? With the purpose of giving a more nuanced understanding of the role of cultural diversity and its impact on trust within international teams, we build upon the current literature an
The objective of this thesis is to investigate how public Swedish family firms managed to perform during the most recent recession that started in 2008. Accounting data is combined with information regarding ownership structure to examine family firms’ performance in comparison to non-family firms. Our evidence implies that family firms perform better in terms of operating performance (return on a
The purpose of this study was to psychometrically test a Swedish translation of The Shame Inventory, originally developed by Rizvi (2010). Another purpose was to investigate the link between shame and psychopathology and specifically to borderline personality disorder. The psychometric properties of the Swedish version of The Shame Inventory were investigated, as well as the ability of the instrum
Ever since the phenomenon of predatory pricing came under the antitrust radar in the Standard Oil case it has spurred debate, which was accentuated after McGee’s seminal article in 1958 where he reexamined the Standard Oil case and claimed that no predatory pricing had taken place. He was supported by a number of scholars (the Chicago school) and legal commentators who stated that predatory pricin
Tradera, Sveriges ledande marknadsplats för cirkulär konsumtion på nätet, överväger att gå in på marknaden för bilannonsering på nätet i Sverige som en ny vertikal marknad för att diversifiera sin verksamhet. Detta examensarbete syftar till att avgöra om Tradera bör gå in på marknaden för bilannonsering online och att föreslå en strategisk plan för inträdet om det bedöms vara fördelaktigt. ProjekTradera, Sweden's leading online marketplace for circular consumption, is considering entering the online automotive advertising market in Sweden as a new vertical to diversify its business. This thesis aims to determine if Tradera should enter the online automotive advertising market and to propose a strategic roadmap for entry if it is determined to be beneficial. The scope of this project
This paper describes an algorithm for reconstructing and identifying a highly collimated hadronically decaying τ-lepton pair with low transverse momentum. When two τ-leptons are highly collimated, their visible decay products might overlap, degrading the reconstruction performance for each of the τ-leptons. A dedicated treatment attempting to tag the τ-lepton pair as a single object is required. T
Wearable eye trackers and other glasses move on the wearer’s face. Such slippage can cause large offsets in the reported gaze position, and significant data loss. How much slippage may be expected during natural behavior? Here we report on the movement of two eye trackers and two smart glasses on the wearer’s head, recorded using a motion capture setup while thirty-five participants performed ten
