Total resection of glioblastoma multiform (GBM), the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor, continues to be a challenge. Achieving complete resection is limited by difficulty in intraoperative discrimination between normal and residual tumor cells. This project contributes to the development and evaluation of a fiber-optical based fluorescence/reflectance spectroscopy system as an intra

The thesis addresses adoption of conservation agriculture in the northern Mozambican province Nampula. In a situation of food insecurity and increasing pressure on land with soil erosion and reduced yields as a result, conservation agriculture is promoted as an agriculture approach which is environmentally sustainable and which also has potential to improve farmers’ livelihoods. The adoption of co

This study sought to explore the socio-economic impacts of stigmatization on young women (16-24) infected with HIV in Accra, Ghana (Ridge hospital). Qualitative study was performed with five young women 16-24 infected with HIV attending HIV clinic at Ridge hospital. Interviews were conducted to explore respondents’ perception of stigmatization and discrimination based on their HIV status and gende

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between local governments and community based waste management organisations and the sustainability of voluntary organisations providing basic services. Drawing on analytical concepts of participatory development it investigate factors contributing to a successful relationship. More specifically how cooperation, communication and collaborat

Research indicates that sexuality education may lower the rate of STIs and unplanned pregnancies among youth. Experts also agree that schools are the ideal place to implement sexuality education and that teachers should play a central role in school-based sexuality education. The purpose of this study is therefore to generate new perspectives on teachers’ implementation of sexuality education by e

Senegalese smallholders up to date face high constraints regarding their generation of livelihoods from agriculture. Restricted access to productive resources and participation in finance, input and output markets are root causes for these constraints. While the potential of collective action to address institutional constraints of smallholder agriculture has been widely acknowledged, success sto

This thesis deals with one of the most concerning issues regarding children over the years, child labour. The child labour problem first reached the public attention in 1830s and notwithstanding all the endeavours of the international community to combat the phenomenon, this issue still nowadays remains a matter of concern in both developed and developing countries. The thesis describes the chil

There is a considerable amount of research and literature about success factors of academic spin-offs in general. Some sources describe academic spin-offs in Sweden, which is one of the most innovative societies in the world. More specific sources address certain issues such as academic spin-off creation, finance, performance or other factors influencing spin-off success in regions as Gothenburg,

För att uppnå syftet kommer frågeställningar att besvara vilka rättsliga befogenheter arbetsgivaren har att genomföra kontrollåtgärder, hur GDPR begränsar genomförandet av kontrollåtgärder sam

Peptides are abundant in all living organisms and essential to many cellular functions. For this purpose, peptides are interesting research targets. The chemical moieties and molecules that are involved in peptide interactions and systems, respectively, are intrinsically non-emissive or weakly emissive, which is why researchers have found strategies for labeling peptides. Today, peptides are typic

The adsorption of casein and whey proteins onto the Capolac was investigated, aiming to solve the sedimentation problem of this insoluble calcium phosphate. The adsorption of casein from sodium caseinate (SC) and whey protein from whey protein isolate (WPI) was first analyzed wit

Denna studien avser undersöka hur amerikanska och svenska makroekonomiska publikationer påverkar S&P 500 samt OMXS30. Med hjälp av daglig avkastning för perioden 2002 till 2021 visar denna studie att FOMC har en statistiskt signifikant påverkan på både den svenska och amerikanska börsmarknaden. Dessutom visar vår studie att Riksbankens nyheter genererar lägre effekt på den svenska börsen i jäm
