Cancer i olika sorters vävnad är allt vanligare i det moderna samhället. Beroende på var i kroppen tumörerna sitter kan de diagnostiseras med olika metoder. För att kunna diagnostisera tumörer i levervävnad krävs biopsier, vilket innebär att en bit av vävnaden med en misstänkt tumör plockas ut och genomgår olika pateologiska undersökningar. Biopsier kan dessvärre ge oönskade bieffekter eftersom enDiffuse reflectance spectroscopy is a method that allows investigation of the chromophore composition of tissue. The objective is to explore if the composition can be used to determine whether the tissue is healthy or not. The measured diffuse reflectance is often modelled by a diffusion model. However, the diffusion model has some shortcomings, and therefore this project uses a Monte Carlo model

Examensarbetet besvarar frågan om överföringar av asylsökande till Georgien som ännu inte fått sina asylskäl utförligt utredda skulle utsätta dem för en verklig risk för omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling och därmed vara oförenliga med Europakonventionens artikel 3.
