Kultivationsteorin är en väletablerad teori inom forskningsfältet för masskommunikation.

Att man kan använda röntgenstrålning för att ta bilder på kroppens inre har varit känt sedan sent 1800-tal och idag finns det en mängd olika röntgenapparater. En sådan är datortomografen, computed tomography (CT) på engelska. Med datortomografi är det möjligt att avbilda patienten i tre dimensioner, istället för vid slätröntgen där man endast får ut en tvådimensionell bild. Detta möjliggör en bättPurpose/Background Dual Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) have been clinically available for over ten years. Two such systems are currently used at Skane University Hospital (SUS) in Lund. By utilizing materials different attenuating properties at different energies, material decomposition and iodine quantification is possible. The aim of this master thesis was to compare the two DECT systems and

Persondosimetri för vårdpersonal, som i sitt yrke exponeras för joniserande strålning, är ständigt ett hett ämne och under konstant utveckling. Stråldosen mäts och registreras för att uppfylla riktlinjer och lagar, som syftar till att hålla personal säkra vid arbete med joniserande strålning. Det finns en rad olika sätt att mäta stråldoser till en människa. För att effektivt uppskatta och mäta strWithin the field of medical radiation protection, radiation safety and personal dosimetry, there is a constant pursuit for improving existing methods and evaluating new approaches for measuring and quantifying the radiation doses that hospital staff may be exposed to in their clinical work. There are numerous ways of determining what doses the staff are being exposed to and the most commonly used

This thesis analyses the spatio-temporal patterns of inequality and income growth in Sweden during the time-period 1990–2016.

Att jag intresserar mig för stranden som plats för mitt examensarbete är kanske inte så konstigt. Som vågsurfare har jag tillbringat mycket tid på stranden och ute bland vågorna. Genom surfingen har jag upplevt många olika kuststräckor och vågor på jorden, men just stranden och surfingen i Sverige har fångat mitt intresse. Här är årstidernas förändringar och havets stormar de största utmaningarna,It is not that surprising that I chose the beach as the subject of my thesis. As a surfer, I have spent a lot of time on the beach and among the waves.
