Objectives: To assess the prevalence of reported and unreported incidental pulmonary embolism (iPE) in patients with cancer, and to evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for automatic detection of iPE. Methods: Retrospective cohort study on patients with cancer with an elective CT study including the chest between 2018-07-01 and 2019-06-30. All study reports and images were reviewed t
Through interviews, many documents and secondary data, this dissertation investigates how fifty-four women activists participated in the public sphere in Egypt from the outbreak of the 2011 uprising to the re-emergence of the authoritarian regime in 2014. The women activists studied in the dissertation took part in various counter-publics of social movements, opposition political parties, and civi
IMPORTANCE: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening has potential to reduce prostate cancer mortality but frequently detects prostate cancer that is not clinically important.OBJECTIVE: To describe rates of low-grade (grade group 1) and high-grade (grade groups 2-5) prostate cancer identified among men invited to participate in a prostate cancer screening protocol consisting of a PSA test, a 4-ka
Silica has rarely been used as a seed particle material in acoustic trapping of nanoparticles. Here we use fluorescent nanoparticles, which are frequently used as a model system, to demonstrate that throughput and nanoparticle trapping efficiency can be improved by using silica seed particles as opposed to traditionally used polystyrene seed particles. The 10 times larger dipole scattering coeffic
Dendrometers offer valuable insights into how tree growth responds to climatic variables and physiological processes over the course of a year. Yet, their applicability to extremely slow-growing trees, such as those in peatlands, has been limited due to the intricate and slow nature of growth, therefore rendering interpretation of results complex. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive monito
The reconstruction of an object’s shape or surface from a set of 3D points plays an important role in medical image analysis, e.g. in anatomy reconstruction from tomographic measurements or in the process of aligning intra-operative navigation and preoperative planning data. In such scenarios, one usually has to deal with sparse data, which significantly aggravates the problem of reconstruction. H
Archaeological data repositories usually integrate excavation data archives as single data collections with restricted capacities to accommodate excavation data interoperability at the sub-collection level. This is largely due to the complexity of excavation data archives that are compiled with different tools and methodologies, use distinct conceptual descriptions at variable granularities, can o
Cities are growing in size and becoming increasingly dense. This situation calls for strategic planning of green infrastructure in the urban planning process. Safeguarding the green infrastructure is important for maintaining urban ecosystem services and increasing the well-being of urban populations. To facilitate appropriate urban planning that enables cities to grow sustainably, it is important
The overall aim of the research presented in this thesis was to gain increased knowledge and understanding of aspects and actors that contribute to the preconditions and outcomes for proactive health and safety managementregarding vibration exposure. The main objectives were: 1) to investigate carpenters´ perceptions of the proactive health and safety management at their work sites, and 2) to carr
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of teenage pregnancy in Colombia is higher than the worldwide average. The identification of socio-geographical disparities might help to prioritize public health interventions.AIM: To describe variation in the probability of teenage maternity across geopolitical departments and socio-geographical intersectional strata in Colombia.METHODS: A cross-sectional study based o
Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC) based on iron powder have a strong potential for improving both the performance and the manufacturing of various electromagnetic components and devices, such as inductors, induction heaters and electrical machines. A new casting or moulding method we have developed makes use of a modified composite, termed SM2C, or soft magnetic mouldable composite. Use of it makes i

Climate change is a fact, new innovations and solutions need to be applied to mitigate the effects around the world. Greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels are the primary cause of climate change, one of them being carbon dioxide. There are many attempts to make a turn-around regarding the use of fossil fuels and one of them is wind power. However, due to extreme loads their service life is ju
With increasing pressure to get rid of the world’s dependence on fossil fuels to reach the world’s climate goals, the use of alternative fuels for propulsion are needed. This is a challenge for the maritime industry, where ferries have good properties to become renewable by the usage of batteries. Their routes are mostly fixed routes and with good infrastructure established at each stop, fully bat
Why don't we learn about nutrition and cooking at school? Primary research and interviews conducted at a high school in Lund reveal that parents are the ones cooking (or ordering takeaways) at home, and that students have no understanding of how food is prepared in their school. At university, students are most commonly seen eating frozen meals and pasta for lunch. Yet Swedish students receive
Since its discovery in 2011, the ferroelectricity of thin films based on HfO2 has been studied intensively. In particular, thin films with a 1:1 ratio of HfO2 and ZrO2 (HZO) has been of great interest. The ferroelectricity arises from a non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic (o) phase of HZO whose prevalence is dependent on the processing conditions. One of these processing conditions is the annealing t
Eftersom fri bevisprövning råder inom svensk rätt finns det inga formella reg-ler avseende struktureringen, hanteringen eller värderingen av bevis inom brottmålsprocesser. Vägledande prejudikat och förarbetsuttalanden är svåra att finna. Som en följd av denna avsaknad av reglering har flera bevisteorier ut-vecklats inom doktrin som med hjälp av olika begreppsbildningar försöker skapa struktur på oAccording to Swedish law there are no formal rules which govern the presen-tation, evaluation or structurization of evidence. As a result, questions regard-ing evidence as they pertain to criminal processes are rarely answered by the means of legal statutes, binding precedent, or legislative history. As a result of this legal vacuum several theories of evidence have been developed, mainly through
When installing an insertion device (ID) in a storage ring the electron beam is affected. The positional displacement and angle deflection is called orbit displacement (OD) and higher order effects such as focusing of the electron beam are referred to as linear optics. The ability to perform multiple simultaneous experiments is crucial in a synchrotron light source such as MAX IV. This is impossib
Den här studien syftar till att förstå och analysera de erfarenheter av själavård, med fokus på själavårdssamtal som svenska fältpräster bedrivit i Afghanistan under perioden 2002–2014. Vidare diskuterar jag utifrån det själavårdande perspektivet fältprästens övergripande funktion i utlandsstyrkan. I studien utgår jag från olika modeller för själavård vilka Berit Okkenhaug kategoriserat som kerygmThe aim of this study is to understand and analyse, with particular reference to pastoral care, the experiences of pastoral care Swedish army chaplains underwent in Afghanistan in the period 2002–2014. Furthermore, from the perspective of pastoral care I will discuss the role of the army chaplains in the international force. The study is based on three different models of pastoral care, categorise
