Analys av Ultraljuds Optisk Tomografi som bildtagningsmetod Bröstcancer är den idag vanligaste cancerformen och drabbar varje år fler än 2 miljoner kvinnor världen över. Chansen att överleva har ökat mycket de senaste årtiondena, mycket tack vare screening och tidig behandling, men fortfarande överlever inte var tionde drabbad i Sverige. En ny teknik för att i ett tidigt stadie kunna upptäcka småBreast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world today and early detection is crucial to minimize the mortality. ”Ultrasound optical tomography” (UOT) is a method under development for deep tissue imaging. The technique combines the resolution of ultrasound with the tissue contrast from light to image optical absorption in tissues. This report presents simulations analyzing how cha

This master`s thesis explores the possibility of constructing a device capable of classifying human arm movements while performing a set of common tasks. Intended for use on patients undergoing rehabilitation, the device collects data using multiple sensors and applies a convolutional neural network in order to detect different activities of daily living. The sensors used by the device are limited

Since Ethiopia has a high number of recorded adverse birth outcomes, the city of Adama was subjected to a study (Flanagan et al., 2022) that gathered data from 2085 pregnancies. This thesis utilizes that data to investigate the usage of machine learning in environmental epidemiology. Using the classification methods logistic regression, random forest, support vector classifier, and k-nearest neigh

Detta arbete är ett sökande efter träets plats i staden och tar avstamp i en kritik mot hur trä allt oftare blir en del av stadsbilden utan att varken som eget objekt utrycka en rik gestaltning eller harmonisera med den kontext av sten, puts och tegelhus som omger dem. Likt hur tegel efter modernismens avtagande intresse för materialet, genomgick en pånyttfödelse vilket resulterade i nya uttrycksfThis work is a search for wood's place in the city and is based on a critical evaluation of how wood increasingly becomes part of the cityscape without expressing rich design in its own right or harmonizing with the context of stone, plaster and brick houses that make up our urban streets. In the same way that brick, after modernism's waning interest in the material, underwent a rebirth wh

Purpose: Consistent assessment of bone metastases is crucial for patient management and clinical trials in prostate cancer (PCa). We aimed to develop a fully automated convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model for calculating PET/CT skeletal tumor burden in patients with PCa. Methods: A total of 168 patients from three centers were divided into training, validation, and test groups. Manual an

The laser host materials undergo relatively small changes in their intrinsic properties due to various sources during an experiment. These sources are often related to temperature change and vibrations due to crystal mounting, which may cause stress-induced birefringence in laser host materials. Birefringence is a phenomenon that causes optical anisotropy due to external load or residual stress. A

This study examines the Swedish folk-song tradition and its participants. The purpose of this study is to create an understanding of how its practitioners relate to, use and, maintain the folk song as a tradition and cultural heritage. This will be achieved by approaching the Swedish folk song tradition as a performative expression. Firstly the results of this study shows that by practicing the tr

Abstract in SpanishPresentamos en este artículo los fragmentos de la primera traducción completa conocida del Corán, acompañados de una introducción y notas. Esta traducción al griego, realizada algún tiempo antes de 780 d.C., no ha sido hasta ahora reconocida en los estudios coránicos ni en los bizantinos, sin que sus principales rasgos hayan sido advertidos. En el artículo argumentamos que la trIn this article the fragments of the first known complete translation of the Qur’ān are presented with introduction and notes. This translation into Greek, produced sometime before 870 CE, has not previously been recognized in Qur’ānic or Byzantine studies, and its main traits have not been noted. In the article it is argued that the translation attempts to render the Qur’ānic text closely and in

In this chapter I will offer some critical reflections on the British Presidency of the EU in a way which promotes comparison with other Presidencies in the period 1997 to 2002. In particular I will try to develop ways of thinking about the evaluation and comparison of Presidencies which takes into account both formal and informal factors. In order to achieve this I will use the framework adopted

Byzantium has played only a minor role, if any at all, in the Western appropriation of knowledge on Islam. One exception to this is the Panoplia dogmatike by Eustathios Zigabenos, active under and working on the commission of the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos (r. 1081-1118). The Panoplia dogmatike ('Dogmatic Armoury') was a most imperial text, designed to support the emperor's fight against

Experimentella metoder har blivit alltmer populära inom en rad olika samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen under de senaste åren. I den här boken får du lära dig vad ett experiment är, när ett experiment passar, och hur du designar och genomför experiment. Dessutom berättar författarna om experimentets historia i samhällsvetenskapen, kritik mot experiment som metod, etiska aspekter och något om framtidsutsi

At an archaeological excavation in central Lund in the early 1970s a very unusual find was retrieved: a piece of lead with several imprints from a coin die. The motif and the runic inscription on the lead plate indicate that the die derives from Sven Estridsen during his late years as king of Denmark. The find is quite unique. Early coin dies and imprints from coin dies are rare finds in the area

Investigating how publics form, this study aims to develop an understanding of how publics of Sweden’s feminist foreign policy are constructed in public diplomacy discourse. To this end, the study conceptualizes publics as forming around perceptions of foreign policy that are mediated through public diplomacy events. Based on a debate on Sweden’s feminist foreign policy on the digital platform Red

Background: Associations between birth weight (BW) and adult lung function have been inconsistent and limited to early adulthood. We aimed to study this association in two population-based cohorts and explore if BW, adjusted for gestational age, predicts adult lung function. We also tested adult lung function impairment according to the mis-match hypothesis—small babies growing big as adults. Meth

A search for the pair production of heavy leptons as predicted by the type-III seesaw mechanism is presented. The search uses proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to 139fb-1 of integrated luminosity recorded by the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis focuses on final states with three or four electrons or muons from the
