Dividend is a much-debated subject and has been compared to a puzzle with no sole solution to explain why firms pay dividend. Many academics have tried to determine what company variables determines a firm’s dividend policy. These studies have provided different explanatory variables to explain why firms pay dividends. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to fill in a piece of the dividen
We live in a time where there is an increasing focus on the environment, in terms of classification of vehicle emission standards and environmental zones. Along with this and the fierce market competition that exists, it is odd that a greater effort has not been made in making material-transport more effective by renewing the tarmac on our road-network. The purpose of this report is to show the sa
Tubular heating elements, produced by Backer AB are today commonly used, serving as systems for intelligent heating in automotive, medical and household industries. Tubular heating element consists of a mantle, resistance wire, electrical insulation (magnesium oxide) and a sealing. When active, an electric current transfers heat from the resistance wire of the heating element to the surroundings w
This paper studies whether Swedish workers use the unemployment insurance (UI) system as a pathway to retirement. We use longitudinal register data consisting of weekly UI benefit payments for the period 1999 to 2015. In Sweden, individuals are eligible for UI benefits for a maximum of 427 days. This creates an artificial benefit threshold at 427 days prior to the official retirement age. We use a
In scanning probe microscopy the properties of the tip is crucial in determining which information that can be obtained from the resulting images and spectroscopy. Ordinarily metal tips are used for scanning, however by using semiconducting nanowires as tips one would have very well defined probes with more advanced possibilities for spectroscopic measurements. However, currently creating such hig
Utveckling av algoritm som avgör filterstatusen hos dialysmaskiner Många människor världen över dör för att de inte har råd med dialysbehandling. För att minska kostnaderna har det i detta exjobb utvecklats en algoritm som kan användas i en framtida serviceindikator för filter i dialysmaskiner. Resultaten ser lovande ut. Kronisk njursjukdom beskriver ett tillstånd av progressivt förlorad njurfunDialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for many people around the world. In or- der to meet the high demands on the dialysis machines, replaceable parts must be exchanged in proper time. Condition based maintenance (CBM) bases its service decisions on the actual health status of the component. The goal of this master’s thesis was to develop an algorithm based on machine learning, constituting the
The genome of the Belinda variety of the hexaploid oat (Avena sativa) has recently been sequenced and assembled. This project aims to improve the assembly by clustering the thousands of scaffolds into their three ancestral subgenomes using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) of kmer and repeat-element frequencies. The method was developed using a chromosome level assembly of hexaploid Wheat (Tritiu
Vi lever i en tid av förändring, en tid där artificiell intelligens tar sina första riktiga vingslag med hela världen framför sig. Denna tid har ofta kallats för "AI-revolutionen" där potentialen för AI verkar gränslös. Det är en potential som även existerar inom den medicinska fronten vilket är något som detta projekt bygger på. Bland individer med ljusare hy är basalcellscancer (BCC) In this thesis we investigate the possibility of delineating basal cell carcinoma using photoacoustic imaging and patient-specific neural networks. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of cancer in lighter-skinned individuals and the current methods for determining the extent of the tumor are invasive and time-consuming. Photoacoustic imaging allows for detailed subsurface imaging at multi
Technology development pushes us to find new ways of working, also in breast screening. Breast screening has been organized in the same manner since the 1980's, apart from the switch from analogue to digital mammography (DM) in late 1990's, which was a huge practical leap forward. In Sweden and many northern European countries double-reading is practiced, where two breast radiologists independentl

Postdoctoral fellow I am a Japanese breast radiologist specializing in breast MRI. My research focuses on advanced MRI techniques (ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI) for breast cancer diagnosis at Kyoto University. I investigated the potential of the diagnostic techniques. At Lund University, I focus on MRI-based surveillance for women at increased risk of breast cancer, working closely with
