Strålterapi är en vanligt förekommande behandling som ges till hälften av cancerpatienterna i landet. I fallet för prostatacancer, som utgör den vanligaste diagnosen, beror ofta cancerrelaterade dödsfall på återkomst av sjukdomen efter genomförd behandling. Vår hypotes är att detta kan minskas genom att identifiera strålrestistenta volymer i prostatan och öka stråldosen till dessa. Tyvärr finns deRadiotherapy is commonly used for cancer treatment, given to approximately half of all cancer patients in Sweden. Despite its widespread usage, there is currently no non-invasive and reliable imaging method that can identify regions of radiation resistance. These regions may be identified by hypoxia, given that radiobiological research has demonstrated a significant correlation between oxygen leve

Strålbehandling är en viktig behandling av cancer och det är avgörande att ge de föreskrivna stråldoserna exakt på rätt plats för att lyckas. Innan en patient behandlas verifieras strålbehandlingen genom kontrollmätningar. Dessa kontrollmätningar utförs med små detektorer som är placerade i ett fantom. Dessa mäter dosen endast i de punkter där de placeras. Stråldosen som ligger mellan dessa punkteBackground & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. Among various dosimetry techniques

Protection of humanitarian aid workers (HAWs) is a challenging task. There are various reports on the topic where much research seems to focus on traditional physical attacks and intentional violence against HAWs (security) rather than the accidental event risks (safety) or discussing it separately. These risks are usually defined by the organization’s security risk management holding the power in

The idea of orienting the design process towards the well-being of the patient is not something new in the world of architecture. That the form follows the function is usually but what must be taken into account is the dynamics of the process of understanding human needs. With each day that passes, complex changes of different kinds affect the human being and society as a whole in an unalterable t

The aim of this thesis is to study teachers’ perception of children’s ability to evacuate, thus learning about children’s evacuation behavior. Questions of interest are teachers’ perception of children’s ability to evacuate, their behavior, if there are any misconceptions in the teachers’ perception and how fire evacuation drills influence the teachers’ perceptions. This was done through a questio

Background: The Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling was monumental for sexual and reproductive health and rights in the United States. This shifted the legislative power over the right to an abortion from federal to state government. Missouri’s post- Roe legislation banned abortion statewide. Health care providers (HCPs) are facing unique facilitators and barriers t

Utifrån närläsning av Stig Dagermans "Var är min islandströja?” och kontextualisering med hjälp av fyra olika teoretiska ingångar undersöks i den här uppsatsen användandet av pronomenet man i novellen och vad det får för konsekvenser på en språklig, psykologisk och existentiell nivå. De teoretiska ingångarna som använts är: 1) man som generiskt pronomen ur ett språkvetenskapligt perspektiv, 2

A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was succes

Det här arbetet är gjort i kursen Tid och Rum där vi har besökt ett gammalt fabriksområde utanför Eslöv. Arbetet undersöker möjligheten att transformera en del av fabriksområdet till spa. Projektet utforskar allt ifrån de tekniska utmaningarna till hur den arkitektoniska upplevelsen kan te sig utifrån de givna förutsättningarna.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes more and more prevalent, there are growing concerns of how it will affect our lives. With its capabilities to record large amounts of data, it carries large risks to personal privacy and the protection of our personal data. The opacity of IoT also makes it hard to know exactly what data is being collected and how it is protected, as such transparency and sec

Wireless communication has seamlessly integrated itself into our daily lives, with Ericsson pioneering the development of comprehensive mobile ecosystems. As the demand for data traffic continues to surge, the enhancement of both cellular radio systems and backhaul infrastructure remains paramount. Within this context, Ericsson leverages microwave transport network solutions to address backhaul ne

With climate change impacting countries around the world, rural communities in Nepal are among those most affected. As acknowledged by global climate discourses, traditional knowledge plays a vital role in understanding and adapting to climate change. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to explore how community members from Darma and Madi Rural Municipalities in western Nepal experience the

Tidigare forskning lyfter fram betydande fördelar med den digitala marknadsföringen, samtidigt som det framförs att det är av vikt att behålla den traditionella marknadsföringen. Vad som är viktigt, oavsett om strategin baseras på traditionell eller digital marknadsföring, är en strategi som kommunicerar ett tydligt varumärke och anpassar sig efter kunden. Därmed menar tidigare forskning att en ko

I den här uppsatsen undersöker jag hur översättning används som en feministisk skrivandestrategi i Nicole Brossards roman "Le desert mauve". Uppsatsen använder den franskkanadensiska teoretikern Susanne de Lotbinière-Harwoods idé om "traduction au féminin" - ett slags feministisk översättarpraktik, för att analysera de inslag av översättning som finns i romanen.In this paper I examine how translation is used as a feminist writing stratey in Nicole Brossard's novel "Mauve desert" (Le désert mauve). The paper uses the French-Canadian translator Susanne de Lotbinière-Harwood's theory of "translating in the feminine" - a feminist translation practice, to analyse the occurance of translation found in the novel.

In recent years, III-V semiconductor materials have received increasing attention due to their admirable electronic properties like direct tunable bandgaps and high charge carrier mobility. Indium Antimonide (InSb) possesses the largest electron mobility among III-V materials and is promising for infrared detectors, high-speed field effect transistors, and spintronics. Incorporation of bismuth (Bi

Solar energy plays a vital role in the transition to a greener global energy supply. As a decentralized energy source, the expansion of solar energy is not driven by energy suppliers and government as in traditional energy sources but is proliferating through the market through a variety of business propositions. Germany has, for a long time, been a pioneer in the field of solar. The country was t
