Genom enkäter och expertintervjuer etablerar vi vilken roll användaren har, hur denne upplever informationssäkerhet inom sin organisation och om möjlighet till förbättring finns när det

Developing AFFIRM assays for detection of potential biomarkers for relapsed breast cancer in plasma

Today, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death in women. Early detection of breast cancer relapse presents increased treatment options and better control. Protein biomarkers from plasma are currently measured by state-of-the-art methods like ELISA, which require antibodies with high sensitivity and specificity. Developing such assays is laborious and time consuming. Thus, there

An AFFIRM Assay for Potential Biomarkers in Relapsed Breast Cancer

Relapsed or recurrent breast cancer is the chief cause of breast cancer related deaths and it is estimated that one-third of breast cancer patients would likely suffer a relapse. Due to high mortality and incidence, recurrent breast cancer requires better means of prediction, prevention and treatment. The AFFIRM platform uses recombinant antibody technology and selected reaction monitoring (SRM) m

Evaluation of sifting segregation testing with spherical particles

I alla industrier där partiklar behandlas i torra prover är segregering ett stort problem. Segregering kan ske vid olika steg i processen där partiklarna i fråga till exempel transporteras, blandas eller bara lagras. Det uppskattas att uppemot 30 % av all fördröjning i processer sker på grund av segregering av partiklar(Johanson, 2014). Detta leder till kritiska konsekvenser för ett företag så somSegregation is a well-known process problem that may cost companies quality and time. The aim of this project was to establish a fundamental understanding about sifting segregation by using the sifting segregation tester described in the ASTM International standard. In this work, Cellets and Suglets were used to study particles tendency to segregate at different weight ratios and different particl

State Aid and the MEIT - Can the State really be seen as a private investor?

State Aid is prohibited according to European Union legislation since it has possible distortive effects on competition. Nevertheless, Member States intervene in the economy and play an important role in the full functioning and development of the economy and society. The European Commission investigates potential State Aid measures by comparing the behaviour of the State with the behaviour of a h

Classification in Bone Scintigraphy Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Skelettskintigrafi är en bildgivande undersökning liknande röntgen, där cancer metastaser och andra benskador visar sig som hotspots. Att identifiera dessa hotspots är en svår uppgift även för erfarna läkare. I detta arbete används faltningsbaserade neuronnät till att träna datorer att hjälpa läkare identifiera hotspots.The main goal of this thesis is to design and implement a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify whether hotspots in bone scintigraphy images represent cancer metastases, caused by prostate cancer, or some other physiological process. A side task was included, where another CNN was designed and trained to classify whether a bone scintigraphy image image is acquired from the front of the pa

Attitudes towards Swedish-English - Swedish upper secondary school students' evaluations of Swedish-English accented teachers

English can be seen, to some extent, as the second language of most Swedes, even though it has no official status in Sweden. Despite a high proficiency in the language throughout the Swedish population, Swedes seem to have issues identifying with English, as is evident in a widespread resentment towards a Swedish-English accented variety. The current study examines Swedish upper secondary school s

Våldtäkt: en fallanalys av Lundamålet

Sexuellt våld är ett stort problem i samhället idag, och kvinnor är den dominerande offergruppen. Det finns även en problematik kring det svenska rättssystemet som försvårar bedömningen av våldtäktsbrott. Att samtycke inte har givits ska vara en huvudfaktor för att fälla förövaren. Men istället beaktas andra omständigheter vid bedömningen, och kan då bli avgörande för att gärningsmannen istället fSexual violence is a major problem in today’s society, and women are the major representing victim group. There is also a problem concerning how the Swedish legal system makes it harder to judge rape crimes. The consent that is not given at a rape should be taken into account as a key factor to convict the perpetrator. But instead there are other factors which are considered in assessing and can b
