Dosimetry in peptide receptor radionuclide therapy using (177)Lu-Dotatate is based on patient imaging during the first week after administration, and determination of the activity retention as a function of time for different tissues. For calculation of the absorbed dose it is generally assumed that the long-term activity retention follows the pattern determined from the first week. This work aims

Master thesis: Can the new merged gridded rainfall product replace limited rain gauge measurements for hydrological modelling in poorly gauged basins? a case study using the HYPE hydrological model in Ethiopia When:  Autumn 2024 or Spring 2025 What:  Streamflow in rivers represent potential water resource in a region. It is important to know how much, when and how long water is available for vario

Human-wildlife conflicts threaten the existence of many species worldwide. Large carnivores are often involved in such conflicts due to their diets and expansive home ranges. In Finland, wolf (Canis lupus) is one of such conflict-prone species. The wolf conflict is a multifaceted issue stemming for instance from fears, damages to domestic animals, competition for game and opposition of EU wildlife

This essay aims to investigate how the city of Malmö works towards creating an inclusive place branding. By studying theories regarding place branding, with focus on theories concerning the people living and working in the city, the essay aims to answer how these theories can be connected to and used in Malmö’s work. To be able to answer these questions, several documents from both the city of Mal

Using perturbation facilitated infrared-infrared double resonance excitation of the Rb-85(2) molecule, we have observed spectrally resolved fluorescence to the a (3)Sigma(+)(u) state. We have analyzed the rovibrational energy level structure of the Rb-85(2) a (3)Sigma(+)(u) state and derived a multiparameter Morse Long Range (MLR) potential and molecular constants for this state, which can be used

This article casts light on the development of new regional industrial paths. We explore factors explaining why regional industries with similar early path development trajectories may exhibit diverging outcomes in the longer run and pay particular attention to the role of ‘outsiders’ in the initiation and further development of regional industrial paths. Drawing on a comparative case study of IT

Oats ( Avena sativa ) are commonly kilned to inactivate native lipases, yet the impact of kilning on the storability of oats is not fully understood. In this study the impact of kilning on five different oat varieties during 12 months of continuous storage was investigated. The study included three commercial oat varieties with different lipid contents, and two novel oat lines selected for decreas

We examined prospectively the association between weight change during adulthood and breast cancer risk, using data on 1358 incident cases that developed during 5.8 years of follow-up among 40 429 premenopausal and 57 923 postmenopausal women from six European countries, taking part in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition study. Multivariate Cox regression models were u

Improved self-esteem and body image, as well as reduced experiences of weight stigma are important patient-reported obesity treatment outcomes. However, more knowledge is needed about how individuals who have undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) perceive themselves and their bodies and use different coping strategies in relation to body image and self-esteem long-term after MBS. In this

This thesis has been pursuing an objective to investigate the recent developments in the field of high oxygen barrier materials for the dairy based medical nutrition portfolio. The main goal of this research was to identify the materials and/or approaches that would allow the decrease of oxygen ingress with resulting shelf-life extension. Both flexible (pouch) and rigid (bottles) packaging has bee

Scanning Laue microdiffraction was used to study the evolution of the microstructure and the stress field around two tin whiskers during ageing for up to 21 months. In the heterogeneous stress fields obtained, localised ridges of high compressive stress leading to the root of the whiskers were found. Due to the evolution of the intermetallic compound in the interface between the copper substrate a

Long-chain polyunsaturated (LCP) fatty acids derived from linoleic (18:2 n-6) and alpha-linolenic (18:3 n-3) acids are considered essential nutrients in preterm infants. The efficiency by which such fatty acids are released as absorbable products from triacylglycerol was explored in vitro using rat chylomicron triacylglycerol as substrate.
