An entity is described which is characterized by low back pain and increased radionuclide uptake in the sacrum at bone scintigraphy in postmenopausal women having received radiotherapy towards the pelvis because of gynaecological malignancy. The findings stimulate bone metastases, but are in all likelihood caused by insufficiency fractures of the sacrum promoted by bone weakness induced by postmen
Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF), first described in 1995, is a rare aggressive sarcoma morphologically defined by "epithelioid fibroblasts arranged in distinct cords and nests in a densely sclerotic, hyalinised stroma". SEF can mimic metastatic carcinoma within desmoplastic stroma, lymphoma and other mesenchymal neoplasms such as myoepithelioma, making it difficult to diagnose. In a subs
The Resource Curse is a theory which suggests that countries with an abundance of natural resources are prone to experience slower growth than resource scarce countries. Research has suggested that good governance can prevent this negative correlation from emerging. This case study examines which aspects of good governance that have been important in avoiding the Resource Curse in the case of Bots
Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform growing ever more popular, and as the software industry shifts into the container cloud, security will become paramount. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) systems cata- log and provide references to known vulnerabilities. The goal of this thesis is to systematically evaluate the security situation of Kubernetes through common mitigatio
With an increasing global temperature, at rates twice as fast as the global average in the northern boreal forests, an increasing wildfire frequency is to be expected. Previous studies have shown that forest areas in Eurasia with high risk of wildfires today are expected to more than double in size in the following 30 years. This will have a great impact on the fire regime, biodiversity, economic
This study focuses on attitudes towards ADHD in social work amongst social workers diagnosed with ADHD, their managers, and their colleagues. The study consists of six semi-structured interviews, done mostly over video calls. Two of the participants are social workers diagnosed with ADHD and four of the participants are managers who have co-workers that have been diagnosed with ADHD. The result ha
The aim of the project was to develop a methodology for the chromatographic analysis able to identify the key odorants in meaty food products. The approach was based on the analysis of an already in market product and the theoretical background of the meaty flavors sensorially. Firstly, a custom-made flavor was created for the experiments covering as much as possible a broad area of compounds prec
To comply with the Paris Agreement and to deal with the threat caused by climate change, the Swedish Parliament has set ambitious targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. For the transport sector, which accounts for 30 % of total GHG emissions, a milestone target is to reduce GHG emission by 70 % by 2030 compared to 2010 (2030 goal). Biofuels is in this respect considered decisive to reach the
When companies rise and fall faster than ever before due to rapid technological changes, the ability to respond to technological changes becomes critical for all organizations. The benefits of transforming are clear and many companies fail to transform and thus take massive hits. According to Forbes (2018), $900 million has been wasted as a consequence, making it important to identify what is hind
Thanks to the rapid development in areas such as artificial intelligence companies now have the possibility to collect and analyze data to improve their business. These algorithms quickly result in large volumes of data, which are to be processed and understood by humans. The stakeholder for this project, IKEA, cannot keep track of all data relations in their sales patterns by using regular tables
This thesis aims to contribute to the discussion on the role of authority in servant leadership, by answering the following research question: How do pastors perceive their servant leadership and how does this relate to authority? The methodology of this study is based on a qualitative study, following an interpretive approach. The empirical material of this study consists of 10 interviews. All in
Det kan hävdas att multinationella företag undviker ansvar för mänskliga rättighetskränkningar på grund av otillräcklig nationell reglering så väl som folkrättsliga bestämmelser. Denna uppsats har därmed utformat tre syften: först ämnar uppsatsen att undersöka i vilken utsträckning staters skyldighet för att skydda mänskliga rättigheter kan minska företags straffrihet för mänskliga rättighetskränkIt has been argued that multinational corporations benefit from impunity when it comes to human rights violations due to inadequate corporate regulation in host states as well on the international level. Thus, there are three purposes of this thesis: first to examine to what extent states’ duty to protect human rights can be utilised to hold corporations accountable for human rights violations in
Befintlig forskning kring online firestorms utgår vanligtvis från det gemensamma antagandet att fenomenet utgör ett hot för varumärken, som till varje pris behöver förhindras, mildras eller förintas. I denna studie erbjuder vi ett annorlunda per- spektiv och hävdar att en online firestorm inte nödvändigtvis behöver motarbetas utan snarare kan stärka ett varumärke. Genom att undersöka en värderings
Pavements in Sweden today are often designed to have a life span of at least 20 years. This means that pavements are designed to endure all seasons for 20 years: 20 winters, 20 spring thaws. 20 summers and so on. For those occasions where a life span less than 20 years is requested, there is no standardized method to use today. Designing is instead usually done either by scaling down the results f
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether a new rule of customary international law has evolved that allows for an exception to the Head of State immunity regarding the perpetration of international crimes. In the legal literature and in codification attempts the view has been expressed that this new rule already exists. This thesis investigates whether this is a correct interpretation
The establishment of the delegation in 2016 for investigation of public governance in Sweden arose through widespread criticism of the dominant governing form NPM. The investigation is based on an effort to achieve an optimal management model with trust as a primary concept. The aim is to categorize the content of the delegation's sub-report as well as an article from its report series through
In this project, calculations for the total binding energy of all even-even nuclei available from experimental data are performed using the HFBTHO program. An artificial neural network is applied to train the information obtained from the HFBTHO calculations and predict the binding energy for the nuclei. The results show impressive improvements to the HFBTHO program. In recent years, the combinati
Impaired learning and memory are common symptoms of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Present, there are several behavioural test employed to assess cognitive functions in animal models, including the frequently used novel object recognition (NOR) test. However, although atypical functional brain lateralization has been associated with neuropsychiatric conditions, spanning from schi
The feasibility of pumping an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with an ultra-high repetition rate multi:YAG laser system, producing a burst of up to eight high-energy pulses, has been investigated. For this investigation an OPO with a bandwidth around 5 cm(-1), together with a frequency doubling crystal, was selected. In some laser-induced fluorescence measurements the large linewidth from the
