Popular Abstract in Swedish Prostatacancer är en av de vanligaste förekommande cancerformerna. Många äldre män har cancerceller i sin prostata, men som tur är behöver inte all cancer behandlas eftersom den inte växer. I USA får ungefär 27% av alla män prostatacancer och cirka 10% dör av det. Vi har utvecklat en ny miniatyriserad metod för att påvisa prostatacancer (Paper I). Genom att titta på PSAThe aim of this thesis is development and application of different miniaturized strategies for detection of biomarkers. The biomarker PSA (prostate specific antigen), which is prostate cancer specific, has been the main focus of the thesis. The papers present two miniaturized strategies for biomarker detection, developed at the department, an antibody microarray and the ISET platform. The antibo

“Strategic Energy Solutions” is the final report on energy solutions for a zero emission Öresund region. It consists of numerous solutions that have been, or can be, applied in the region in order to minimise the environmental impact of the energy sector. Additionally it includes a case study of energy transition projects on Lolland Island in Denmark. The report seeks to provide recommendations fo

Many specific and precise methods that support the mechanical engineering designer's work during the conceptual design phase exist, while only a few general methods address the embodiment design and detail design phases. Our study presents the pattern of the designer's problem-solving activity during the later phases of the design process. This model is in-tended to serve as a basis for further de

Since gaining independence in 1965, Singapore has become the most trade-intensive economy in the world and the richest country in Southeast Asia. This transformation has been accompanied by the emergence of a deep generational divide. More complex than simple disparities of education or changes in income and consumption patterns, this growing gulf encompasses language, religion, and social memory.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien handlar om en konflikt kring en muslimsk friskola i Jönköping. Utifrån fältarbete på den muslimska friskolan och en ordinarie grundskola i kommunen, femton intervjuer och ett omfattande tidningsmaterial har jag problematiserat relationen mellan olika grupper i samhället och vem som har tolkningsföreträde i frågor om skola, fostran och värderingar. De muslimska fThe study is about a conflict concerning a Muslim Independent School in Jönköping. Based on fieldwork carried out on the Muslim Independent School and one of the local authority´s comprehensive schools - which included fifteen interviews and a comprehensive collection of newspaper articles and reports - I have problemised the relationship between the different groups in the local community and who

A dual band antenna for two ISM bands at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz has been evaluated. The antenna structure derives its advantage by deploying several radiators as fingers spreading from a single feeding point. Each radiator functions as both a half-wave and a quarter-wave radiator. Arranging them in parallel matches the half-wave resonance to 50 W. By carefully selecting the angle to ground plane and us

Fuel cells (FCs) are promising for future energy systems, since they are energy efficient and fuel can be produced locally. When hydrogen is used as fuel, there are no emissions of greenhouse gases. In this study a two dimensional CFD (COMSOL Multiphysics) is employed to study the effect from porous material surface area ratio on reforming reaction rates and gas species distributions for an anode-
