Popular Abstract in Swedish Strålbehandling är en av de vanligaste behandlingarna mot cancer. Hälften av alla behandlingar syftar till att bota patienten från sjukdomen, men strålbehandling är även en mycket effektiv behandling för att lindra smärta och andra symptom för patienter med en obotlig cancer. Förberedelse inför strålbehandling är en komplicerad procedur, som innefattar många olika teknPreparation for radiotherapy is a complex procedure that involves many different technologies and groups of professionals. The rapid development and introduction of new technologies throughout the last decade have made it possible to deliver highly conformal, individually-shaped dose distributions with high accuracy. However, there is widespread concern that current quality assurance practices hav

People with acquired brain injury (ABI) often have problems leading an independent life due to impaired cognitive abilities. One way to address this is to let the patients practise activities of daily living as part of their rehabilitation process. However, some everyday activities can be difficult, inconvenient or risky to practise. The demands of the environment can also have an impact on the in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cerebral pares (CP) drabbar drygt 2 barn per 1000 födda och är den vanligaste orsaken till rörelsehinder hos barn och ungdomar. På latin betyder CP "förlamning från hjärnan" och är ett samlingsnamn för ett följdtillstånd efter en skada i den omogna hjärnan under dess utveckling från fosterstadiet t o m 2-års ålder. Skadan är av engångskaraktär men de olika symtomen föräCerebral palsy (CP) is a term for a group of conditions associated with motor disabilities, that are very heterogeneous, i.e. symptoms, severity, associated impairments, functional outcome and needs. The overall purpose of this thesis was to study the prevalence and gross motor function and to evaluate and adapt measurements in children with CP. The prevalence in Southern Sweden was 2.4 per 1000 c

We previously described a simplified quantitative hemolytic assay for classical pathway (CP) hemolytic function in serum that has been shown to correlate with the 50% hemolytic complement (CH50) assay. In the present study, we used this assay to compare CP functions; plasma levels of C3, C4, and C3dg; and ratios of C3dg to C3 in healthy individuals and patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (S

In the literature, auditory attention is explored through neural speech tracking, primarily entailing modeling and analyzing electroencephalography (EEG) responses to natural speech via linear filtering. Our study takes a novel approach, introducing an enhanced coherence estimation technique to assess the strength of neural speech tracking. This enables effective discrimination between attended an

Time-frequency reassignment, commonly used to analyze time-varying signals, is a post-processing method that sharpens time-frequency representations. However, the reassignment method is sensitive to noise, making it unsuitable for time-frequency analysis when the signal-to-noise ratio is low. To increase the robustness of the reassignment technique, we develop a novel reassigned multitaper spectro

Internship Spring 2021 – Nordregio NGEA51 Internship, Michael Oakden – Lund University Introduction During the period from February 12th to June 24th 2021, I worked as a GIS intern at Nordregio in fulfilment of the NGEA51 Internship course at Lund University. Nordregio is a leading Nordic and European research institution with a specialization in regional development, planning, and policy. Nordreg

The competition in the power plant business is today extremely hard and all manufacturers’ technics to achieve as low heat rate in sold power plants are very refined. This in combination with high fees for companies that can’t achieve what’s agreed in the contracts has made the feedback process very important in order to keep the business successful. A fossil power plant has therefore been evaluat

Studies has shown that adherence to prehospital treatment guidelines, for patients with non-traumatic chest pain is inadequate and that there is a treatment difference between genders. The aim of this study was to examine prehospital caregiver¡¯s adherence to treatment guidelines for patients with non-traumatic chest pain and compare treatment frequencies between men and women in a region in south

Uppförandet av nya byggnader och renoveringar av befintliga byggnader har lett till större intresse för certifieringssystem med hårdare krav än lagstiftningen. Ökad kunskap om hållbarhet och att brukandet av jordens resurser måste reduceras har lett till miljö- och hälsocertifieringar, bl a Miljöbyggnad 3.0 som är en nationell miljöcertifiering som ställer krav på byggnaden och WELL Building Stand

This thesis investigates the impact of U.S. sanctions imposed between 2010 and 2012 on Iran’s non-oil exports. Using the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) as the baseline strategy, complemented by an Event Study and a standard Difference-in-Differences (DiD) model, the analysis shows that sanctions led to a sharp and persistent decline in Iran’s export performance relative to a counterfactual scenari

This work investigates single-sensor localization of acoustic emissions (AEs) along a wind turbine blade with supervised neural networks. We evaluate six architectures: a Dense MLP, a 1D CNN on time-domain inputs, two 2D CNNs on linear spectrograms (LinSpec) and mel-spectrograms (MelSpec), a CRNN (2D CNN + LSTM), and RepVGG (Mini RepVGG in simulation, RepVGG-A0 in experiments). Three experimental

Problem description: Alfa Laval, a global leader in providing solutions for heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling, seeks to improve production scheduling at their component factory in Lund. They aim to digitalise the process by developing a digital twin (DT), a virtual model of the manufacturing system. The DT will simulate production flow to support decision-making and optimise scheduling

Tail risk metrics such as VaR and, especially ES are and have become of great importance to both investors and financial institutions such as banks in determining their amount of loss absorbing capital given the Basel framework. Estimating these metrics have become trivial, but to do it accurately while also taking market conditions such as periods of market stress into account still presents chal

This study develops a framework for investigating the spatiotemporal variability of dust storm (DS) susceptibility in a major DS source in the Middle East i.e., Tigris-Euphrates River Basin. Visual interpretation of true color composites of MODIS satellite images was used to identify DS sources during period 2000-2021. In total 1,028 dust storm sources were identified. Incorporating 70% of DS sour

We present a belief propagation (BP) algorithm with probabilistic data association (DA) for detection and tracking of specular multipath components (MPCs). In real dynamic measurement scenarios, the number of MPCs reflected from visible geometric features, the MPC dispersion parameters, and the number of false alarm contributions are unknown and time-varying. We develop a Bayesian model for specul

Wetlands are integral components of our natural environment since they provide many critical ecosystem services to humanity, such as water purification, climate change mitigation, flood control, and biodiversity. Although wetlands can convey resilience to some degree of changes, they might be vulnerable to climate change. Altered hydrology and rising temperatures can turn the wetland services into
