Bakgrund: Datortomografi (DT) är en användbar och viktig röntgenmetod för diagnostik inom vården som har ökat i omfattning de senaste 20 åren vilket innebär en ökad kollektiv stråldos. Eftersom röntgenstrålning kan skada och DT ge högre stråldoser än konventionell röntgen har det väckt oro för den ökade mängden strålning till patienterna. Syfte: Att beskriva effekten av stråldosreducerande teknike

Simple machines can be regarded as the elementary “building blocks” of which all more complicated machines are composed” The future is looking uncertain nowadays, and the fragility of our highly specialized society is becoming more apparent. What if your wind generator breaks down? What if you need to clear a road from fallen trees after a storm? Would you even know how to do that? How would yo

Studies on several target factors like specific antigens, biomarkers and cellular signals involved in High-risk Human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) infection and its mediated immune response aid in narrowing the gap to generate effective therapeutic solutions for oropharyngeal carcinomas. Thus, establishing cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) lines will aid in investigating and carrying out functional studie

The rise in new digital technology is bringing with it new ethical questions around how we, as a society, can trust them. However, what if the question was before the technology itself? What if the role of the developers was influencing the way those new technologies were being programmed? This thesis situates itself at the point of exploration, where developers of humanoid social robots look for

Översvämningshotade byggnader är ett växande problem som uppkommer till följd av havsnivåhöjningen. Problemet är större i södra delar av landet, där många fastigheter riskerar att ta skada eller förstöras till följd av översvämningar. För att förbereda Skåne och Halland för framtiden behövs därför informationen hur havsnivåhöjningen kommer uttrycka sig. Detta projekt fokuserar på att samla, förvalBuildings threatened by folding is an ever-increasing problem due to sea level rise. The problem is greater in the southern parts of Sweden compared to the rest of the country, where a lot of properties are at risk of being destroyed or damaged as a consequence of floods. To prepare Scania and Halland for the future, information about the sea level rise is therefore needed. This project focuses on

Three novel ways of producing small volumes of blood plasma for either a Point of Care or automated application were developed and evaluated based on their usability. Development was based on the trapping unit of the acoustofluidic AcouTrap system by AcouSort AB, Sweden. By trapping cells and clumping them together, increased sedimentation speeds of whole blood cells was achieved, based on the pre

According to previous study, data-driven decisions can result in fact-based decisions that help a company flourish. National parks, particularly in developing countries, are not properly utilizing data as a decision-making tool, which is essential for enhanced competitiveness. Empirical re-sults show that the park administration makes most of its decisions based on established rules when implement

This thesis examines the effect of cognates on codeswitching in planned speech production in trilinguals, which has previously been unexplored. Previous studies on cognates and codeswitching have primarily focused on cognate facilitation effects in spontaneous speech in bilinguals. While experimental studies have gradually acknowledged the importance of investigating codeswitching in a sentence co

The heat exchanger is a system where heat gets transferred between oil and other forms of lubricants from one system to another without mixing through conduction. The hot liquid is cooled by passing through the heat exchangers plates, which act as a wall between them. When hot liquid is passed between the plates, the following plates are passed with cold liquid, which carries the heat away from th

This master´s thesis examines the working conditions and working environment of assistant nurses within the home care service of the elderly during and before the Coronavirus pandemic in Sweden. Before the pandemic studies showed that care work performed by assistant nurses lack recognition of how hard and heavy their work is and at the same time that their wages are low in relation to other occup

Efter att ha sett allt fler ladugårdar som förfaller bestämde jag mig för att göra ett arbete om just denna byggnad. Jag ville undersöka vad ladugården är och hur det kan vara möjligt att bevara och ta hand om den. Genom att skaffa kunskap om ladugårdens historia ville jag få en fördjupad insikt om vad dessa byggnader egentligen har för betydelse. Med hjälp av referensprojekt och genom att gestalAfter seeing more and more barns decaying, I decided to make a project about this particular building. I wanted to investigate what the barn is and how it may be possible to preserve and take care of it in the future. By gaining knowledge about the barn’s history, I got a in - depth insight into what these buildings really mean. By looking at reference projects and by transforming a existing barn,

As the ASIC designs continue to grow in complexity, traditional RTL level of abstraction is becoming a productivity bottleneck. The RTL design process requires extensive time and effort for verification of algorithmic correctness as well as correct timing and interface behavior. Furthermore, a non-trivial change to the algorithm often results in a complete rewrite of the RTL implementation. High L

A Jacobian free multigrid preconditioner for linear problems arising from Implicit Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretizations is implemented. The preconditioner is based on a multigrid method for a low order Finite volume (FV) discretization on a subcellgrid. L2-projections are introduced as a strategy to translate between the discretizations. Numerical tests on advection dominated linear advecti
