In this work we investigate the spin correlation effect of the interference between signal and irreducible background events present in top quark pair production at the LHC at LO in the dilepton channel. To simulate the high energy proton-proton collisions of the LHC, MadGraph5_aMC@NLO framework is used as an event generator. The spin correlations are explicitly measured via the lepton kinematics

Work-related threats and violence is a common problem that many social workers have to handle frequently. The definition of this phenomenon is ambiguous and social secretaries have to learn how to handle these types of situations.

Ur ett demokratiskt perspektiv är muntlig framställning viktigt eftersom förmågan att göra sin röst hörd är såväl en rättighet som en skyldighet i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Dessutom är muntlig framställning ett krav för att elever i gymnasiet ska bli godkända i svenska. Att talrädsla är vanligt förekommande bland gymnasielever är således problematiskt. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka läTranslated title: “Many students find it difficult even if they do not suffer from speech anxiety”: An interview study on teachers’ perspectives on upper secondary school students’ speech anxiety and on oral presentations in relation to the democratic mission From a democratic perspective, oral proficiency is important since the ability to make one’s voice heard is a right as well as a responsibi

The main goal of the Paris agreement is to hold global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. A goal which requires a rapid peak and decline of global emissions. With the adoption of the Paris agreement, countries submitted Nationally Determined Contributions making national climate legislation a key tool for how to reach the goal.

A growing population with increasing life expectancy means that the proportion of cognitively ill people is increasing. This puts pressure on the home care service due to lack of time and resources, which leads to a decline in the well-being and quality of life of care recipients. A consequence of cognitive illness is memory loss, which leads to everyday chores such as toothbrushing often being fo

Psykiska besvär är vanliga hos barn och ungdomar och gör det svårare att fungera i vardagen. Tidigare forskning visar flera samband mellan olika typer av psykiska besvär (symptomdimensioner) och funktionsområden (exempelvis skola, socialt), men det finns få studier som har undersökt flera symptomdimensioner och flera funktionsområden samtidigt. Den här uppsatsen undersökte samband mellan tre symptMental health problems are prevalent and impairing in childhood and adolescence. Earlier research shows multiple links between different mental health symptom dimensions and different areas of everyday functioning (e.g., school, friends), but there is a dearth of studies investigating multiple symptoms dimensions and multiple areas of functioning at the same time.
