Inom strålbehandling innebär den s.k. åskådareffekten ("bystander effect") ett relativt nytt tankesätt som betonar de biologiska effekterna av strålning på icke-bestrålade celler i närheten av bestrålade celler. Denna effekt har visat sig påverka inte bara de celler som angränsar till det bestrålade området utan även celler på större avstånd. I Lund pågår just nu ett projekt där man villPurpose Intensity modulation of radiation is one of several important conditions to evaluate for full understanding of how cells involved in the bystander effect influence each other when cells are exposed to radiation at low and high dose rates. The aim of this study was to develop and apply a useful and practical dosimetric method for measurement of the absorbed dose to cell cultures exposed to

By the mid-19th century, syphilis had been established for several hundred years as a disease associated with immorality, from which the poor in particular suffered. Although hospitals for the treatment of venereal diseases existed in most European countries, there would be no cure for another hundred years, and physicians battled unsuccessfully against disfigurement and death. The lock hospital i

To most people bitumen is an unknown material although it is the most important ingredient in asphalt pavements, something that everyone knows and uses every day. By merely distilling crude oil a substance is produced with unique properties and durability, which could not have been produced by synthetic means, at least not in those quantities used. The production is not that simple and the raw mat

When Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank in 2022, news of her death made headlines worldwide. She was a prominent broadcast journalist for Al Jazeera, who was covering an Israeli military raid when she was shot in the head and killed. Palestinians and Al Jazeera were quick to hold the Israeli military responsible for her killing, but in We

Against a backdrop of economic stagnation and declining birth rate, fatherhood in Japan has drawn increasing attention over the past three decades from the state, the media, and the general public. Of particular interest is the emergence of a new kind of fathering known as ikumen, which centres active involvement in childcare. Using LaRossa’s (1988) model of the “asynchrony” of change in the cultu

Det är viktigt att ett sjukhus kan vara i drift även under situationer då det angrips av utvändiga explosioner. För att göra detta möjligt krävs det att de bärande delarna av byggnaden inte raserar eller skadas för kraftigt om de utsätts för attacker såsom en explosion på nära håll. I detta arbete har flera alternativa ytterväggar för en sjukhusbyggnad analyserats för explosionslaster med avsikt aIt was recently decided that a new hospital is to be built in Växjö. It is important that hospitals can be utilised no matter the circumstances, even in situations of threat. New reports have been published concerning how hospitals are to be designed. In this, it is mentioned that explosions are a threat that should be considered. Due to this, it was investigated however concrete sandwich walls c

Can Crows and Ravens Tell Selfish and Generous Humans Apart? Imagine that you observe two people at the store reaching for the two last packages of their favourite cookies. The person that arrived last at the spot asks the first one for a package. In the first scenario, the human that arrived first acts generously and gives one package, while in the alternative scenario, the human acts selfishly

Work-related threats and violence is a common problem that many social workers have to handle frequently. The definition of this phenomenon is ambiguous and social secretaries have to learn how to handle these types of situations. This bachelor thesis will focus on how they perceive this and how they cope with it, as well as the consequences of their perceptions and coping strategies. To answer th

Measurements of a room have been done at the institution Byggnadskonstruktionslära, and I would like to thank the institution and especially Kurt Källblad for the help.
Measurements have been done at three different warming types, radiant-, convective- and radiator warming.
I have two inputs. One is the temperature of the heating apparatus, and the other one the outdoor temperature. The

TrueTime is a MATLAB/Simulink-based simulator for real-time control systems that has been developed at the Department of Automatic Control, LTH. The aim of this thesis is to port the TrueTime kernel block to the open-source Scilab/Scicos simulation environment. The original kernel block is a variable-step, discrete S-function written in C++. In this work, the Scicos engine should replace the Simul

Att röra på sig är och har alltid varit en grundförutsättning för vår hälsa och välbefinnande. Dagens samhällsutveckling tyder på en allt mer stillasittande livsstil i form av arbeten, vardagsliv och fritidsaktiviteter. Bristen på fysisk aktivitet är en av de största hälsoutmaningarna idag och individers levnadsvanor har visat en konstaterad anledning till detta. Det har traditionellt sätt varit

Avian influenza constitutes a remarkable threat to global health. Interaction between wild and domestic ducks in the natural wetlands has been considered one of the potential risk factors for the rapid spread of the avian influenza virus. Tanguar haor is one of the vital wetlands in Bangladesh, a wintering place of millions of migratory birds. At the same time, native farmers raise their domestic

Sexuella övergrepp tillhör ett av de mest kränkande och traumatiserande brott som en människa kan utsättas för. Trots detta förekommer det på flera håll än idag motstånd att klassificera bekantskapsvåldtäkter eller våldtäkter inom relationer som ”riktiga våldtäkter”, medan våldtäkter av obekanta gärningsmän eller med förekomst av våld inte sällan förstås som en ”riktig våldtäkt” och mest allvarligSexual offences are one of the most offensive and traumatic crimes a person can be subjected to. Despite this, there is still resistance in several places to consider acquaintance rapes or rapes in relationships as ”real rapes”, while rapes by unknown perpetrators or with violence often are understood as the ”real rape” and the most serious ones. Those perceptions might thus lead to a situation wh

The purpose of this study has been to examine in which ways musical artists and entertainers have been working with digital media and intermedial relations during the corona pandemic in the years 2020-2021. Using qualitative methods, this paper aims to create a deeper understanding of digital working strategies and the benefits that can be found with these in comparison with more traditional non-d

Traditionella binära könsstereotyper utmanas idag allt mer av könsöverskridande uttryck i ett pågående globalt samhällsskifte som i synnerhet märks av i Sverige. Parallellt med detta samhällsskifte utmanas även tidigare forskning i hur varumärken kommunicerar könsuttryck, vilket möjliggör för ett ökat antal varumärkesgenuspositioner. Trots att en androgyn genusposition beskrivs som mest gynnsam ärTraditional binary gender stereotypes are increasingly being challenged by gender fluid expressions in an ongoing global societal shift that is particularly noticeable in Sweden. Parallel with this societal change, previous research on how brands communicate gender expressions is also being challenged, which enables an increased number of brand gender positions. Although an androgynous brand gende

Our oceans are filling up with plastic waste and this fact became the main inspiration for this project. I think it is important that us humans question our consumption and usage of plastic. A way to diminish the amount of plastics ending up in the ocean and nature is through a change in our behaviour and our habits. A lot of the plastics come from using single-use plastics and throwing it away. O
