Denna sammanläggningsavhandling består av fyra artiklar, som alla berör olika utvidgningar av Standardmodellen (SM). De första två artiklarna behandlar en specifik, supersymmetrisk, storförenad teori (GUT), medan de senare två klassificerar alla anomali-fria instanser av 2-Higgs-dubblett modeller (2HDMs) med en gauge:ad abelsk symmetri. Artikel I. I denna artikel presenterar vi en alternativ lösniThis thesis is composed of four papers, which all treat various extensions to the Standard Model (SM). The first two papers concern a particular supersymmetric, grand-unified theory (GUT), while in the latter two, we classify anomaly-free implementations of two-Higgs doublet models (2HDM) with a gauged abelian symmetry. Paper I. In this paper, we present an alternative solution for avoiding GU

BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation pathways are crucial to reduce stroke-related disability. Motivational Interviewing (MI), as a person-centered complex intervention, aimed to empower and motivate, and could be a resource to improve rehabilitation outcomes for older stroke survivors. The IMAGINE project aims to assess the impact of MI, as a complement to standard geriatric rehabilitation, on functional i

Human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) 5'-splice site SD226 and 3'-splice site SA409 are required for production of the HPV16 E7 mRNAs, whereas unspliced mRNAs produce E6 mRNAs. The E6 and E7 proteins are essential in the HPV16 replication cycle but are also the major HPV16 proteins required for induction and maintenance of malignancy caused by HPV16 infection. Thus, a balanced expression of unspliced an

OBJECTIVE: To describe a novel strategy, Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA) to evaluate hospital performance, by analysing differences in 30-day mortality after a first-ever acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Sweden.DESIGN: Cross-classified study.SETTING: 68 Swedish hospitals.PARTICIPANTS: 43 247 patients admitted between 2007 and 2009, with a fi

Ordinary salt, NaCl, has many properties suitable for dosimetry and has been suggested for both retrospective and prospective optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry. Lately, the focus has been on NaCl that is compressed into solid pellets, as this improves both its handling and dosimetric properties. In this project, the energy dependence of NaCl pellets produced in-house was investigat

Many extensions of the Standard Model predict new resonances decaying to a Z, W, or Higgs boson and a photon. This paper presents a search for such resonances produced in pp collisions at s=13 TeV using a data set with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1 collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The Z/W/H bosons are identified through their decays to hadrons. The data are found to be consisten

The use of sludge as fertilizers contributes to the recycling of nutrients to the environment due to its origin from wastewater and therefore relatively high content of nutrients and organic matter. However, wastewater does also contain hazardous compounds like heavy metals and micropollutants which eventually are separated to the sludge during the treatment processes at the wastewater treatment p

There is an increase of financial integration, which can be seen in recent mergers of banks, financial institutions etc. in the European Union especially in the Nordic countries. However there are some weaknesses in providing consumers cross border services in the sector of banking, such as cross border bank account transfer of payments. The existing transaction costs do not encourage cross border

Structural optimization aims to find the geometry of the best performing design in a predefined setting, using mathematical techniques. The motivation for this study can be categorized into three main benefits: efficient material usage, enhancing existing designs and enabling new technologies. All of these benefits are crucial for solving contemporary technological and environmental challenges. An

Objective To compare neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely preterm (EPT) children born across two epochs in Sweden. Design and setting Nationwide population-based cohorts of infants born at 22–26 weeks’ gestation in 2004–2007 (Cohort 1) and 2014–2016 (Cohort 2), comprising 1606 live births. Survivors were assessed at 2–2.5 years’ corrected age using the same protocol design. Main outcome The pr

Heat release in the end-gas prior to autoignition was investigated using different experimental methods including transducers for heat flux and pressure as well as rotational coherent anti-Stokes-Raman spectroscopy, which is a laser-based method for non-intrusive instantaneous thermometry of the gas. The time history was examined in the cases of mixtures of various stoichio-metries, where some wer

A survey experiment, carried out in a field setting among Sunni Arab Syrian refugees (N = 2,479), examined the effect of exposure to wartime trauma, ethnoreligious group affiliation, and degree of hostility of intergroup relations on altruism and positive emotional regard. The results showed that in-group targets were met with more positive emotional regard and altruism than relatively neutral out

The Käppala WWTP data is modelled by using WEST software to evaluate how the storm water affects the treatment plant process and to use the flow data from Ryaverket WWTP to the Käppala WWTP model in order to model. The flow estimation method which gives best results for the flow data over a long period on the low flow occurrence is 95 percentile flow estimation method. This method was used to dete

Mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is essential for us humans to curb climate change. Around a fifth of the anthropogenic GHG emissions stem from the construction sector. Much come from energy used for space and water heating within buildings, but an increasing proportion comes from the manufacturing of the building materials and is virtually embodied within buildings. This is called Emb

For the purpose of this deactivation study, Pt- and vanadia supported catalysts were used. The catalysts have been exposed to aerosol particles of inorganic salts, with high- or low melting points. The average diameter of the generated salt particle was kept constant at around 70 nm. The aerosol particle penetration depth for the samples exposed to potassium salt, was 1 μm as measured by scanning

On the basis of existing detailed kinetic schemes a general and consistent mechanism of the oxidation of hydrocarbons and the formation of higher hydrocarbons was compiled for computational studies covering the characteristic properties of a wide range of combustion processes. Computed ignition delay times of hydrocarbon -oxygen mixtures (CH4-, C2H6-, C3H8-, n-C4H10-, CH4 + C2H6-, C2H4, C3H6-O-2)

After the Peace of Roskilde in 1658, the territory that Sweden had acquired was to be incorporated into the rest of the country. A 'Swedification' of the church and the services did not begin until 1680, when a new bishop took up his duties in the Lund diocese. Previous research has been concentrated around the events on the national and diocese levels. The aim of this study is to use more local m
