Background Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of death. A common cardiac examination is to give a visualization of the myocardial blood flow by injecting a radio pharmaceutical and detect the radiation with a camera. The camera has for decades been using thallium doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) as the detector material. New detector materials have been developed because of the

Framställandet av kön i reklam är ett komplext och omdiskuterat ämne inom kommunikationsforskningen. Denna studie ämnar analysera hur kvinnan framställs i TV-reklam för en traditionellt manlig produkt. Studien tar hänsyn till hur reklam påverkar kvinnans ställning i samhället, men även hur ett samhälles kultur påverkar hur kvinnan framställs i reklam. Studien utgår ifrån Hofstedes Maskulinitetsind

The subculture of heavy metal has often been perceived as a counterculture to the leading mainstream cultural expressions and paradigms. In the light of globalization the heavy metal culture has spread to far off places around the world from its origin in the West. The Georgian heavy metal culture began developing in the last two decades since the fall of the Soviet Union, when new influences and

Abstract This essay will examine if there is a possibility that the Millennium Development Goal number 3 (MDG 3) can be achieved by year 2015 in Bangladesh. Therefore, an examination will be performed of the report The Millennium Development Goals, Bangladesh Progress Report 2011. Focus will be on MDG 3 which aims on promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment for instance in Bangladesh. In

Purpose The purpose of this thesis is to explore relevant authenticity-inducing attributes within the consumer good of music, and to identify a channel within which some of these attributes can be mediated efficiently. Theoretical Perspectives The study relies on previous insight from the field of Consumer Culture Theory, authenticity, authenticity-inducing attributes and the construction of s

Spurred on by pressure to find sustainable energy production alternatives to fossil fuels, many industries have been acquiring land in order to plant crops for biofuel production. In Tanzania, biofuel development is in an early stage, and over the last decade, several foreign actors have tried to start up biofuel projects in the country (without success). Land acquisitions are seen by many as a fo

The main purpose of this study, which is performed from a sociology of law perspective, is to illuminate the factors that ha direct impact on the implementation of the new litter law, applying in Sweden from summer 2011. The study was founded on Naturvårdsverket’s reports regarding particular commitment to prevent litter in our community. Material for the study was collected by a quantitative surv

Sandvik SRP AB in Svedala has recently made a big investment in a completely new production facility that is called Greenfield. The facility will be ready for production in 2013 and will have eleven top modern axle lathe- and vertical boring milling machines. The machines will process casting to parts for the stone crushers Sandvik SRP in Svedala manufacture. The goal with Greenfield is to get wor

Det individuella och det kollektiva är två begrepp som ständigt utforskas i den spanska författarinnan Belén Gopeguis verk. Den här uppsatsen utgår från observationen att relationen mellan de två behandlas som en sammanflätning. Dess roll i Gopeguis politiskt-litterära projekt undersöks, där det kollektiva presenteras som en förutsättning för de förändringar som projektet eftersträvar. Verket i al

Xylem Inc., with the main production plant in Emmaboda, has in one of the product workshops decided to analyse the benefits of creating a central packaging station for its five assembling lines. The author of this report was given this objective as a master thesis. The methodology of the project is divided into three different phases – one descriptive, one explorative and one problem-solving phase

This master thesis is on Statistical Process Control (SPC). The objective is to evaluate if SPC can be used in a process that produces plates for heat exchanger, the process evaluated is located at Alfa Laval Lund AB. The products are produced in the process by punching and shearing metal coils. An ambition in the project is also to increase the knowledge about Statistical Process Control at Alfa

DPM is a manufacturing company within the metal cutting industry. A number of years ago there emerged a desire to make statistical calculations for its production. Until today, the company has not done any post-calculations, which means that they have based their cost calculations and sales prices on precalculated costs. The absence of post-calculations leads to lack of cost-consciousness that is

A particle accelerator consists of a large number of components, which among other things includes several acceleration modules, which consists of one or several cavities. A cavity is a complex and essential part in the accelerations process and is usually made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) or niobium. These two materials are special when it comes to metal cutting, it´s hard to find information abou

Metodutveckling för analys av cellulärt upptag av nanopartiklar Cancer är idag en utbredd sjukdom som tusentals människor världen över diagnostiseras för dagligen. Möjligheterna att få en korrekt behandling ökar om tumörer upptäcks i ett tidigt skede tidigt vilket ger en större chans att tillfriskna. Men detta har visat sig vara en utmaning då nuvarande metoder som används inte är av tillräckligAbstract MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, is used for disease detection such as assessing blood flow, detecting tumours and diagnosing many forms of cancer. Contrast agents are chemical substances that increase the MRI sensitivity. One class of contrast agents are the so called nanoparticulate contrast agents. Since tumour-associated formation of new blood vessels often results in highly permeab
