Popular Abstract in Swedish Ökad förståelse för hjärtats pumpfunktion är av stort intresse för att kunna förbättra diagnostik, behandling och prognoser för hjärtsjuka patienter. Blodflöde i hjärtat är direkt kopplat till hjärtats form och rörelse och kan därför vara en viktig markör för hjärtats funktion. Därför var målet med denna avhandling att utveckla och förbättra mätningar av blodflöde med hIncreased understanding of the pumping mechanics of the heart are of great importance to develop diagnostics, treatment and prognostics for cardiovascular diseases. Blood flow in the heart is connected to its anatomy and function, and may therefore be a sensitive marker of cardiac health and disease. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to develop and validate methods for quantification and visual
Interstitial laser Doppler flowmetry was used to measure the effect of interstitial laser-induced thermotherapy on local blood perfusion in normal rat liver in the peripheral treatment region elevated to hyperthermic temperatures. The Nd:YAG laser emitting at 1064 nm was utilised as heat generation source. The plane-cut tip of an optical fibre was placed in the middle of the exteriorised left live

Title: Production Scheduling, a TOC approach. Authors: Carl Andersson Alenbratt and Johan Knutsson. Supervisors: Peter Berling, LTH and Anders Theander, SGSS. Background: The problem of production scheduling is how to efficiently utilize available resources in order to both effectively and efficiently meet customer demand. In a modern manufacturing environment this is a very complex issue but it i
Vid resor med kollektivtrafik finns det applikationer där en resenär kan söka efter resor. Resorna presenteras i en lista som oftast är sorterad efter avgångstid eller ankomsttid, vilket inte alltid stämmer överens med hur en resenär faktiskt väljer sina resor. Examensarbetet syftar till att utvärdera om det är möjligt att utveckla en maskininlärningsmodell som istället sorterar resorna utifrån reWhen traveling with public transport there is nowadays applications where a traveler can search for trips. The trips is presented as a list and is most often sorted by departure time or arrival time, which not always matches how a traveler actually chooses his trips. This thesis aims to test if it is possible to develop a machine learning model that instead sorts the trips by how a traveler has ch
The world is in transition. Europe is a Europe of transition. And so is the city; an incomplete, ever-changing and complex construct. While life itself is built upon the concept of change, organic order and vitality, society is currently finding itself struggling not to fall behind time. The Industrial Revolution has led to greater productivity and larger economic turnovers. Developments picked
Products made from pulp are a part of everyday life. With end products like coffee filters, food packaging and tissue paper. These products are the result of wood being processed in pulp mills to produce the pulp from which the forementioned paper products are produced. The modern pulp and paper industry is energy intense and on a global perspective a large emitter of greenhouse gasses, accounting
Agila avtal är ett förhållandevis nytt fenomen och uppmärksammat begrepp. Fenomenet härstammar ursprungligen från ett agilt arbetssätt, som är särskilt utbrett inom IT-branschen. Traditionella avtal är upprättade utifrån förutsättningen att parterna redan vid avtalstillfället vet vad som ska levereras, när och hur. Det uppställs en uttömmande kravspecifikation vid projektets början. I ett agilt Agile contracts are a relatively new phenomenon that has gained increased recognition. This phenomenon originates from an agile approach, which is particularly widespread in the IT industry. Traditional contracts are based on a situation where the parties know what they need before the project starts. The requirements are set out comprehensively at the outset of the project. In an agile contract,
How can a small fire at a subcontractor in the USA lead to a multimillion dollar loss at a Swedish telephone company, and how can a single machine breakdown lead to a complete production stop at a production company? With today logistics and production trends, where terms such as Lean Production, Six Sigma, 5S, and World Class Manufacturing are used every day, production companies are introducing
Huvudregeln i svensk rätt är att brottmål ska avgöras i domstol och att domen ska grundas på det material som framkommer under huvudförhandlingen. Genom reformen om en modern rättegång som genomfördes 2008 infördes en möjlighet att avgöra bötesmål på handlingarna, det vill säga utan att hålla huvudförhandling. Syftet var att göra det processuella regelverket mer flexibelt så att handläggningen kunThe general rule in Swedish law is that criminal cases should be determined in court and the sentence should be based on the material that is presented during the main hearing. In 2008, the reform of a modern trial was introduced. Thereby, cases can be decided without a main hearing in situations where there is no reason to impose a sanction other than a fine. The aim was to make the legal framew
Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att genom halvstrukturerade intervjuer undersöka unga vuxnas erfarenheter av att medicinera mot depression, samt hur de förstår sitt tillstånd som deprimerade. Elva informanter mellan 20 och 30 år, som diagnostiserats med depression och använt SSRI eller SNRI, intervjuades, och materialet analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analys. Resultatet visade att inforThe purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how young adults experience depression and antidepressant medication, and how they understand their condition. Using semi-structured interviews, eleven interviewees between the ages of 20 and 30, who had been diagnosed with depression and had medicated with SSRI or SNRI, were interviewed, and the results were analyzed using thematic analysis.

The Sahel lies in the semi-arid zone of North Africa between the Sahara Desert to the north and the savannas and rainforest to the south. In the Sahel, the variability of vegetation growth is predominately controlled by moisture reception in the concurrent rainy season. The inter-annual variability of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) during the rainy season (April to August) can be ex
Citylogistik kan användas för att minska den negativa miljöpåverkan i stadskärnor. Genom olika åtgärder i form av t.ex. samordnad distribution, miljözoner och tidsregleringar kan körsträckor och antalet fordon minskas. Helsingborg har idag ett bra miljöarbete i form av tidsreglerade transporter och en miljözon vilket kan ses som bra komplement. Vår rekommendation är att stadsförnyelseprojekt och d
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blåsexstrofi är en ovanlig och mångfasetterad missbildning. I hela Sverige föds cirka tre barn om året med blåsexstrofi. Bukvägg och urinblåsa är öppna nedanför naveln, så att man ser blåsans insida samt rinnande urin. Flickorna har en delad clitoris, framflyttad och trång slidöppning samt framflyttad ändtarmsöppning. Pojkarna har en kort, öppen penis, som ligger uppfälBladder exstrophy is a complex malformation seen in 1/30 000. Most children are subject to repeated operations, including pelvic osteotomy, genital and bladder neck reconstruction and sometimes bladder augmentation or a urinary reservoir, to achieve continence and a normal genital function. A retrospective study of all Swedish children born 1970-89 showed a low continence rate, 17% , and a high r
The negative impacts of surface ozone (O(3)) on vegetation are determined by external exposure, leaf gas exchange and plant antioxidant defence capacity, all dependent on climate and CO(2) concentrations. In this study the influence of climate change on simulated stomatal O(3) uptake of a generic crop and a generic deciduous tree at ten European sites was investigated, using the LRTAP Mapping Manu
This paper presents class-D CMOS oscillators capable of an excellent phase noise performance from a very low power supply voltage. Starting from the recognition of the time-variant nature of the class-D LC tank, accurate expressions of the oscillation frequency, oscillation amplitude, current consumption, phase noise, and figure-of-merit (FoM) have been derived. Compared with the commonly used cla

This research was also undertaken to examine the association between loneliness and healthcare consumption. In addition, the reserach explored the experience of loneliness and evaluated the effects on loneliness, symptoms of depression and life satisfaction o
The ADVEX project involved conducting extensive advection measurements at three sites, each with a different topography. One goal of the project was to measure the [CO2] balance under night-time conditions, in an attempt to improve NEE estimates. Four towers were arranged in a square around a main tower, with the sides of the square about 100 m long. Equipped with 16 sonic anemometers and [CO2] sa
This study explores the link between EU citizenship and the right to vote in elections to the European Parliament. It does so through the so-called ''Gibraltar-case'', C-145/04, at the time of writing still pending before the European Court of Justice. Spain alleges that the United Kingdom has infringed EC law through enacting the European Parliament (Representation) Act 2003 in wh
