Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare, yet its successful integration depends heavily on the acceptance and understanding of this technology by medical professionals. Our qualitative exploratory study, using semi-structured interviews with eight medical professionals in Sweden and Denmark, charts their perceptions of AI's implementation in medicine. The primary goal o

Svenska kommuner befinner sig just nu i en ansträngd ekonomisk situation med både brist på ekonomiska resurser och personal. Samtidigt råder det en efterfrågan på bostäder och i 180 av 290 svenska kommuner råder det ett underskott på bostadsmarknaden. Till följd av den begränsade resurstillgången måste kommunerna därmed prioritera vilket innebär att de måste fördela sina resurser till det som anseSwedish municipalities are currently in a constrained economic situation with a shortage of both financial resources and personnel. The municipalities hold a zoning monopoly, and due to the limited financial resources they have to prioritize within their physical planning to ensure they allocate their resources on what is most important. The aim of this thesis is to create an understanding of how

In central Budapest, when the city of Pest was developing, urban policy led to small plots built on all four sides mak- ing up the larger neighborhood block structures. Each small lot was centered around its even smaller courtyard, lead- ing to a myriad of small open spaces with little sunlight or activity. Many of these plots today have fallen into disrepair, becoming parking lots or unused p

This thesis investigates buyer preferences in the procurement of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, which facilitates international cooperation through carbon markets. As ITMO markets are still in the early stages of development, uncertainties regarding regulatory frameworks, environmental integrity, and procurement strategies have eme

The development of artificial intelligence has led to significant advancements across various fields but is has also introduced considerable challenges. One such challenge is the emergence of so-called deepfakes, which are realistic, yet fabricated images or videos generated by artificial intelligence. A large propor-tion of deepfakes today are sexual in nature, most of which depict women without

The aim of this thesis was to analyze and compare the effects of various types of speed-reducing measures (speed humps, raised pedestrian and cycle crossings, dynamic speed bumps, and combined solutions) on vehicle speeds and traffic safety on selected streets in Helsingborg, Sweden. The study focused on residential streets, school zones, and main roads with different traffic environments. The met

The construction of heterojunctions between catalysts and cocatalysts is a widely recognized strategy to enhance catalytic activity. The precise placement of cocatalysts is widely understood to optimize charge transfer pathways and catalytic active sites. In this study, we demonstrate that site-selective decoration on an anisotropic catalyst, achieved by modulating solvent polarity and precursor r

Background and objective: We established prognostic nomograms incorporating prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) parameters standardised by Prostate Cancer Molecular Imaging Standardized Evaluation (PROMISE; PPP1). Here, we develop an updated PPP2 risk score from a large international multicentre registry study. Methods: We included 6128 prostate cancer pati

Legumin and vicilin, the main storage proteins from peas, are increasingly employed as functional ingredients for food. The purpose of this work was to better understand the interactions between these proteins and selected lipids, due to their potential consequences on interfacial functionality of protein preparations. Legumin and vicilin isolates were obtained after isoelectric precipitation foll

Solvent cage-escape dynamics of bimolecular photoredox products in solution has been investigated computationally through a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemical calculations. The present work focuses on the photoinduced oxidation of the organic electron donor dimethylaniline (DMA) by a Fe(III) N-heterocyclic carbene photosensitizer (Fe(III)NHC+) in two different solve

We present a novel method for in-line acoustofluidic separation of cancer cells directly from whole blood. We report for the first time the observation that blood cells can self-organize when packed closely together in an acoustic field. We utilize this effect to enrich K-562 cancer cells and white blood cell subpopulations from whole blood at normal hematocrit levels. Further, we investigate the

Excitation energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes is vital for highly efficient primary photosynthesis. Controlling this process is the key for advancing the emerging artificial photosynthetic systems. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the enhanced excitation energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting 2 complexes (LH2) mediated through the Fabry-Pérot opti

Developing novel organic photovoltaic materials for organic solar cells (OSCs) requires precise characterization of their charge transfer states to optimize the photoinduced charge transfer mechanisms within the photoactive layer. The microscopic photoelectric properties of the S-shaped (DYA-I-S) and O-shaped (DYA-I-O) conformations of dimeric small molecule acceptors (DSMAs) are analyzed through

Most acute cardiovascular events are caused by rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. The incidence of cardiovascular events increases with age and inflammation is generally considered to be the main cause of increased plaque vulnerability. However, the relationship between age and plaque inflammation has not yet been fully clarified. The aim of our study was to determine if age-dependent plaque vu

Ulceration of primary melanomas is associated with poor prognosis yet is reported to predict benefit from adjuvant interferon. To better understand the biological processes involved, clinicopathological factors associated with ulceration were determined in 1804 patients. From this cohort, 348 primary tumor blocks were sampled to generate gene expression data using a 502-gene cancer panel and 195 b
