Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer among women in Sweden, with 9 000 diagnoses during 2023. While the five-year survival rate reaches 92.5% due to national screening programs, transitioning from 2D Digital Mammography to 3D Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) could further improve early detection. However, the high volumes of data increases the examination times, preventing it from
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under den geologiska period som kallas kvartärtiden (de senaste 2,6 miljoner åren) har flera istider (glacialer) och mellanistider (interglacialer) avlöst varandra enligt ett mönster där glacialerna varar i ungefär 100000 år och mellanistiderna i ca 10000 år. Under istiderna täcktes stora landområden på norra halvklotet, bl.a. Skandinavien, av väldiga inlandsisar. Då deThe aim of this thesis was to reconstruct the Holocene vegetational and climatic development in the Sylarna-Storulvån area, western Jämtland, in the central Scandes Mountains. Temporal trends and fluctuations in the elevation and vegetational character of the tree-limit ecotone were studied mainly by means of pollen and plant macrofossil analysis of two lake sediment sequences (Lakes Stentjärn and
Visual ecology, the study of how animals acquire and respond to visual information in nature, has grown rapidly over the past few decades. Research in this field has transformed our understanding of fundamental processes, such as the neurobiological basis of behavior and the diversification of species through sensory drive. The recent growth in the field has been accompanied by leaps in our unders
Uppsatsen är en fallstudie över den svenska implementeringen av PSI-direktivet.4 Direktivet skulle enligt artikel 12 direktivet vara genomförd i svensk rätt senast den 1 juli 2005. Fullständigt genomförande förelåg emellertid inte förrän 1 juli 2010. Fem år efter det att direktivet skulle vara genomfört. Sverige en fördragsenlig skyldighet att implementera direktiv på ett fullgott sätt, korrekt ocIn this case study the subject matter is the Swedish transpositions process of the Directive 2003/98/EC of European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the re-use of public sector information (PSI-directive or Directive).1 Considering final date for transposition set out in the PSI-directive the Swedish implementation exceeded five years. Why was that? What could be the reasons be
Den process där nya länder går med Europeiska unionen (EU) kallas utvidgning. Det har haft en central roll i unionens utveckling. Sedan grundandet har EU vuxit från sex till tjugosju medlemsländer, under totalt sju utvidgningsomgångar. För närvarande är fem länder kandidater för medlemskap: Montenegro, Serbien, Albanien, Nordmakedonien och Turkiet. Kosovo och Bosnien och Hercegovina är potentiellaEnlargement, the process whereby countries join the European Union (EU), has had a key role in the Union’s development. Since its founding, the EU has grown from six to twenty-seven Member States, in a total of seven enlargement rounds. Currently, five countries are candidates for membership: Montenegro, Serbia, Albania, North Macedonia and Turkey. Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina are recognised
Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been applied for several years in the removal process pollutants from secondary treatment plants and stormwater. In this paper, the Variable Residence Time (VART) model for solute transport in streams was extended to simulate the BOD removal process in free water surface flow constructed wetlands (FWS CWs). The double layer concept of the basic VART model was extend
Purpose: A stagnant Cuban economy, state owned and operated businesses, as well as a general public desire for change to happen in the country, present themselves as a matter that should be addressed. The opening up of the private economic sector within a communist regime proves as an interesting topic, and allows for an architectural interpretation to be made. Assignment: Given the economic an
Landskrona has for a long time had problems with high concentrations of Pb and other heavy metals in the air. Measurements investigating the content of airborne particles have been performed in 1977, 1988, 2003 and 2008 and show an influence from heavy industries, traffic in town and transboundary pollution. To investigate the air quality in terms of heavy metals in Landskrona today, the metal con
This thesis investigates the influence of country-specific political risk on credit default swap spreads. The research includes a sample of 30 companies over a time period of more than 13 years. The companies are divided into two sets of sub-groups, dependent on whether they are banks or not and which country they are based in. The hypothesis is that banks should be more influenced by political ri
The number of microbreweries in Sweden has grown a lot since 2009, from about 30 to 240 breweries. In the production of beer, wastewater is also produced which must be taken care of to avoid inconvenience to people and the environment. How the wastewater should be treated has been a problem for a couple of breweries. This study is based on a case study, Remmarlöv Gårdsbryggeri, that needs a new wa
På uppdrag från Trafikverket har en utredning om PAH-detektering inom vägteknik genomförts för att kunna ge förslag på hur de bör utforma ett kommande undersökningsprogram. Polycykliska aromatiska kolväten, PAH, är en grupp organiska föreningar som är en del av vägtjära. Vägtjära användes som bindemedel i asfaltsbeläggningar i Sverige under nästan 50 år, fram tills 1973. Flera PAH har visat sig vAn investigation regarding PAH detection in road pavements has been put together as an assignment from Trafikverket. The purpose of this investigation is to put forward suggestions about how they should shape their upcoming research program. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, PAH, is an organic chemical compound which is found in road tar. Road tar was used as a bonding agent in asphalt pavements i
As the need of environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels is growing bigger, so is the need for knowledge and research around possible new raw materials that could serve that pur-pose. One discussed product is biogas. Since biogas can be produced from not only food waste and wastewater residue, but from any substrate that contains fats, proteins and/or car-bohydrates, with the help of d

Body size is one of the most important traits of zooplankton. It affects their metabolism, life history and ecology and can eventually influence community and ecosystem processes. Higher and more fluctuating temperatures due to climate change are expected to have an influence on zooplankton size. Based on general empirical evidence, warmer temperatures may lead to smaller zooplankton, while temper
In this master thesis, combinations of noise-canceling LNA and harmonic-rejection mixers are investigated and compared to find an optimal inductorless receiver front-end for low-band (600-960MHz) FDD LTE-A network. The work was carried out in a modem development project at Ericsson Modems, Lund. Three receiver versions with different harmonic rejection techniques are compared in terms of noise fig
Research question: How can the participation in the COII support companies to open up? Methodology: The thesis applies a single case study design to examine an opening up process in relation to open innovation. The thesis used a qualitative research strategy with inductive design with influences of deduction. The primary data emerged from semi-structured interviews to grasp an in-depth understand
Icknield Port is one of the largest redevelopment sites in Birmingham, UK and presents a huge opportunity to create a high quality destination of regional significance. Because of its size (30 ha), its locational advantage (1.4 km from city centre) and its unique waterfront attributes, the site offers great potential to meet the aspirational goals of major landowners, future users and the City Cou
Freezing injuries usually take place in thawed plant-based food products. To reduce freezing injuries, Pulse Electric Field (PEF) treatment and Vacuum Impregnation (VI) of cryoprotectant were used before the freezing process. The aim of PEF is to provoke electroporation to the membranes of the plant cells, thereby allowing the cryoprotective solution impregnated by VI to penetrate the cells. PEF

Background: There is a need to develop methods of determining concentration and purity for two new affinity ligands, protein T and protein H, in order to ensure the quality of an industrial production of said proteins. Aims: To develop a High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography, HPSEC, method to determine concentration and purity of protein T and to improve an existing HPSEC method for
