Introduction: Lung imaging with synchrotron light sources is currently a widely studied field. The image resolution and quality are remarkable and the level of detail possible to study the smallest structures, the alveoli, of the lungs cannot be obtained by any other non-invasive imaging modality with the current technology. The most common and useful type of lung imaging with brilliant light sour
Purpose: Improvements in mortality rate of glioblastoma patients have been limited during the past decades, due to the tumor’s rapidly growing and infiltrative behavior and resistance to current therapy. Recent findings show that higher brain mean dose strongly correlates with inferior overall survival and that local recurrences mainly occur centrally in previously irradiated regions. This project
Aim: The aim of the study is to characterize the dependency of image quality on absorbed dose for two breast tomosynthesis (BT) systems, GE Senographe Pristina and Siemens Mammomat Inspiration and compare the systems. The image quality was evaluated by different parameters such as: in-plane and in-depth spatial resolution, artifact spread function (ASF) and signal-difference-to-noise ratio (SDNR).
Purpose/Background Dual Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) have been clinically available for over ten years. Two such systems are currently used at Skane University Hospital (SUS) in Lund. By utilizing materials different attenuating properties at different energies, material decomposition and iodine quantification is possible. The aim of this master thesis was to compare the two DECT systems and
Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition especially for people with diabetes, obesity or women who are pregnant. Diagnosing CTS has primarily been performed using electroneuronography. In this thesis the aim was to use an advanced method of tractography to measure and evaluate diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters between anatomical landmarks at the distal radioulnar jo
Within the field of medical radiation protection, radiation safety and personal dosimetry, there is a constant pursuit for improving existing methods and evaluating new approaches for measuring and quantifying the radiation doses that hospital staff may be exposed to in their clinical work. There are numerous ways of determining what doses the staff are being exposed to and the most commonly used
BACKGROUND: Radioiodine (131I) has been used in thyroid cancer treatments for many years, and has demonstrated good results with regards to disease management. Radioiodine therapy is however partially empirical, as not very much is known concerning radiation dosimetry. At Skåne University Hospital, the number of treatments has been growing steadily over the past couple of years, resulting in an in
Private public partnerships (PPPs) are used routinely in a variety of sectors, such as health care, waste management, and infrastructure development. Only recently, as climate mitigation and adaptation rapidly rise in importance on urban agendas however, have PPPs begun to be considered within a climate context. This thesis investigates the significant, yet thus far mostly unexplored potential for
A low success rate of drug candidates in clinical trials, and especially in brain research, motivates development of better screening models. Hence, in neuroscience and many other fields of Life Science, development of more physiological relevant experimental cell-based models is motivated. It’s believed that more in vivo-like models will give a better outcome in drug discovery- and development. H
This thesis paper aims to investigate how digital retail might affect our cities (in particular in Sweden). It will be asked if an advancement of e-commerce, contrary to popular belief, can have a positive effect on the urban realm and subsequently how it can be facilitated in the fields of architecture and urban design. The paper aims to present an exposé of Swedish retail from the modern past u
Föreliggande arbete grundar sig i vår ambition att göra ett trumläromedel som befinner sig i nutiden samtidigt som det ska vara anpassningsbart även till framtiden. I samband med studien har detta trumläromedel skapats i konceptform. Det framtagna konceptet omfattar, men är inte begränsat till; digitalisering, ett tydligt syfte, sammanhang, fokus på kreativitet och tydlig progression. FrågeställniThis study is based on our ambition to make a drum teaching material that is contemporary, whilst also adaptable to the future. In connection with the study, this drum teaching material has been created in concept form. The concept developed includes, but is not limited to; digitization, a clear purpose, context, focus on creativity and clear progression. This study´s issues can be summarized to;
Syftet med vår studie är att undersöka hur den service ordningsvakter ska leverera påverkas av de förväntningar som finns kopplade till rollen som ordningsvakt samt det potentiella behovet att använda våld för att skapa säkerhet. Detta undersöktes i relation till maktdimensioner, maskuliniteter samt den växling, mellan att leverera service och hålla ordning, som yrket innebär eftersom det tillhör
Denna rapport beskriver en utforskande modell- och metodstudie som kommer att ligga till grund för ett realiserat projekt. Flera frågeställningar behandlas, tex; Vilka behov finns och hur förändras dessa? Hur skiljer sig vanor och rörelsemönster i stugan i jämförelse med i hemmet? Vad innebär det att dela ett extra hem, med olika generationer och genom tid?
The aim of this study was to investigate how women reason about, and experience what it is like to live in Sweden in the months following the autumn of #metoo the year 2017. In utilizing interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) the accounts of three women can make an academic footprint in our society. Could a mostly digital aspect of a social movement influence how people think about themsel
Increasing demand for higher data rates in wireless communication systems has tremendously evolved over the last years. This demand is rapidly increasing with rising in number of wireless devices. Advanced antenna systems (AAS) – known as massive MIMO – is one of the central enabling radio technologies for 5G cellular systems that significantly increase the data rates provided for data-hungry appl
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the representation of trans* feminine women in popular media. This is done by presenting a theoretical background focusing on a specific minority group in society – namely, trans* feminine women – femininity, and heteronormativity, as well as by taking a poststructuralist approach to the applied theoretical framework in order to conduct a representation analysi
