De flesta av oss har sorgligt nog en personlig anknytning till sjukdomen cancer. För en god prognos är det helt avgörande att sjukdomen upptäcks i ett tidigt skede så att behandling kan påbörjas. När det gäller cancer i matstrupen är detta sällan fallet och prognosen är därför ofta mycket dålig för den drabbade, med en generell överlevnadsgrad på ca 10-20% efter fem år. Esofaguscancer behandlas opThis research project is concerned with the development of simulation models and image analysis algorithms, as well as instrumentation for characterizing anastomotic leakages after a patient has undergone surgery for esophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage is a high-incidence complication after esophagectomy, a surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. In an esophagectomy, the cancerous part of the

En förbränningsmotor, som den i din bil, har inte tillräckligt med syre för att fullständigt förbränna bränslet till koldioxid och vatten. Därigenom frigörs kolväten, kolmonoxid och kväveoxid. 98% av dessa giftiga biprodukter kan omvandlas till mindre skadliga ämnen med hjälp av en katalysator. En katalysator använder grundläggande oxidation och reduktion för att omvandla de giftiga utsläppen fråCO oxidation is an important topic in heterogeneous catalysis, due to its role in industrial processes such as pollution reduction in the auto industry, and ethanol or other fuel production. In the automotive catalytic converters CO oxidation reduces the poisonous CO to CO2 by reacting with O2. Oxidation catalysts such as Pt, Pd and Rh are frequently used as catalytic converters for CO oxidation i

This thesis examines how active power control (Volt-Watt control) and reactive power compensation (Volt-VAr control) can help limit voltage increases on the low voltage grid due to high photovoltaic (PV), installations. Due to the large increase in interest to install small scale PV-systems within residential areas the Distribution System Operator E.ON, has noticed problems concerning high voltage

A shower routine is a sequence of instructions that can be executed by a smart shower. This report explores how interfaces for creating shower routines can be designed. It further investigates the features that users prioritize in such an interface and how shower routines can enhance the shower experience. Based on Orbital Systems’ app My Water, prototypes for various design so- lutions were creat

Histopathological examination, crucial in diagnosing diseases such as cancer, traditionally relies on time- and resource-consuming, poorly standardized chemical staining for tissue visualization. This thesis presents a novel digital alternative using generative neural networks and a point light source (PLS) microscope to transform unstained skin tissue images into their stained counterparts. This

In this paper, the event conceptualisation patterns of Swedish-English bilinguals are examined. Swedish and English differ from each other with regard to the existence of grammatical aspect, which previous work has shown to affect how speakers conceptualise motion events. In bilingual speakers, we expect to see cognitive transfer from either, or both, languages. In the present study, a within-subj

And supported by the two operational questi

Bakgrund: Byggsektorn står för en väsentlig del av Sveriges växthusgasutsläpp, motsvarande 21% enligt Boverket. För att nå Sveriges klimatmål med minst 85% minskning av nettoutsläppen till 2045 krävs hållbara byggnader och installationsdesign, särskilt inom ventilation och komfortkyla. Livscykelanalys (LCA) är en metod som stödjer bedömningen av produkters miljöpåverkan och leder byggbranschen motBackground: The building industry is responsible for a big part of Sweden's greenhouse gas emissions, around 21% according to Boverket. To meet Sweden's climate goals, which aim for at least an 85% reduction in emissions by 2045, we need environmentally friendly construction methods, especially in ventilation and cooling. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a way to assess how products impact the

In Bangladesh, household work is associated with women. Men’s participation in household tasks is considered a threat to masculinity. However when Bangladeshi men migrate to a gender equal country their involvement in household work becomes part of their daily routine. This thesis aimed to shed light on the situational dynamics of masculinity of Bangladeshi men regarding performing household work

Objective and Methods: This thesis investigates the relationship between insecure attachment (anxiety and avoidance), rumination, and overgeneralized episodic memory retrieval in nonclinical adults, addressing the potential moderating role of rumination in the attachment- overgeneralization link. A community sample of 41 Swedish-speaking women participated in a narrative memory task involving atta

Dagens arbetsplats förändras konstant bland annat genom anställdas nytänkande och nyfikenhet. Arbetsmiljöer där anställda känner sig motiverade, en organisation som anställda identifierar sig med och inte minst en arbetsplats där anställda känner sig respekterade och hörda är nyckelfaktorer bakom en organisations framgång. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan oThe contemporary workplace undergoes constant transformations, driven in part by employees' innovation and curiosity. Work environments where employees feel motivated, an organization that employees identify with, and notably, a workplace where employees feel respected and heard are key factors behind an organization's success. The purpose of this essay is to investigate whether there is a

Denna uppsats är skriven med syftet att undersöka hur litteraturkritiker i praktiken bedömer litterärt värde. För att svara på detta användes tre frågeställningar: huruvida litteraturkritiker använder sig av värdekriterier i sin bedömning, hur de i så fall formuleras och ifall dessa kriterier är gemensamma för flera litteraturkritiker. För att besvara frågeställningarna gjordes semistrukturerade i

Mikrobers snabba värmeanpassning Mikroorganismer i jorden reglerar kolcykeln genom att binda kol när de växer, samtidigt som de frigör kol under andra mikrobiella processer. Mikrobers aktivitet regleras till stor del av temperatur och ett föränderligt klimat kan mikrobers aktivitet påverkas. Tidigare studier har funnit att mikrobiella samhällen snabbt anpassar sig till högre temperaturer, samtidiSoil microorganisms sequester carbon through growth and release it into the atmosphere through respiration. Climate change predictions suggest that high latitude ecosystems will be particularly affected by rising temperatures, and temperature is one of the main environmental factors regulating microbial activity in soils. Thus, understanding how microbial activity will be affected in temperate eco

Från en cell till hel individ, protoplast regenerering. Växtförädling för att öka avkastningen av grödor har skett under lång tid. Numera används molekylära metoder för att påskynda processen av selektionen av gynnsamma egenskaper, så som resistans mot sjukdomar eller ohyra. Geneditering kan användas för att validera nya gener i tidigare framgångsrika kultivarer och möjligheten att regenerera en Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) is a high value crop, grown mostly in temperate climate and is the source of 30% of the world’s sugar production. There is a high economic incentive to breed for better yielding crops, e.g genetic resistance against diseases. To investigate the effect of new genes in cultivar lines, genetically modified organisms (GMO) can be used but not commercially sold, according to

The introduction of the “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism” (CBAM) as part of the European Union Fit for 55 and Green Deal package, has evoked much political and academic debates. So far, these have mostly focused on its effectiveness in leveling the playing field for European industries and reducing the risk of carbon leakage. We contribute to this debate by analyzing the potential effects of a

Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. To conduct studies on the brain outside of the body, one can culture neural cells in the lab. However, to accura

Freshwater mussels play a crucial role as ecosystem engineers, contributing to various ecological functions, including nutrient recycling, biofiltration, and habitat modification. Both live mussels and their discarded shells also play integral roles in providing and enhancing habitats for other organisms by furnishing physical structure, stabilising sediments, and promoting bioturbation. This stud

Research on Anne Brontë’s novels, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, shows that she drew inspiration from various literary sources. Some reviewers and scholars have detected an affinity between Brontë’s and Jane Austen’s works but have not explored it in depth. I therefore close read Brontë’s novels and compare them to Austen’s, using Genette’s theory of transtextuality. Firstly, I discer
