Idag behandlas många former av cancer med joniserande strålning från linjäracceleratorer. Målet med behandlingen är att sterilisera cancercellerna med så liten påverkan som möjligt på den friska vävnaden. För att uppnå detta är det viktigt att ha en så bra bestämning som möjligt av den absorberade dosen till tumör- och normalvävnad. För detta ändamål används idag tredimensionella dosplaneringssystA Monte Carlo generated linear accelerator is implemented into a pencil beam based treatment planning system (TPS) to study the possibility to verify the TPS with a Monte Carlo method. The implemented accelerator is then used to study two inhomogeneous lung geometries; lungslab and mediastinium. Advantages of a Monte Carlo method over conventional measurements are that accelerator output variation

As major flashpoints of contemporary conflict, contested cities are intensely resistant towards efforts aimed at reconstruction, reintegration and reconciliation. Peacebuilding undertaken in these cities often fails, leaving them on a continuum between war and peace where their frozen internal conflicts become stumbling blocks of statewide peacebuilding. Interestingly enough, limited attention has

In Nicaragua it is indeed a social disease due to social and cultural factors leading to the misery of HIV-positive women. Nicaragua is an interesting case when studying HIV/AIDS because it is the Central American country with the lowest number of official reported cases. However there are

The aim of the study was to explore the psychological well-being of a group of adolescents in relation to how they regarded achieving in school, in a gender perspective.

The interviews were analyzed thematically and the results showed that the adolescents acted differently

Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats har varit att undersöka åklagarrollen, med särskilt fokus på objektivitetsprincipen och konfirmeringsbias. Vidare att analysera konfirmeringsbias roll för objektivitetsprincipen och åklagarens objektivitetsplikt under förundersökningen. Objektivitetsprincipen innebär ytterst att domstolar och myndigheter i sin verksamhet ska beakta allas likhet inför lagen samt iakThe purpose of this bachelor thesis has been to investigate the role of the prosecutor, with special focus on the principle of objectivity and confirmation bias. Furthermore, to analyze the role of confirmation bias for the prosecutor’s duty of objectivity during the preliminary investigation.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om konstruktivt ledarskap predicerar tillit till den närmaste chefen, och om tillit och de tre tillitsdimensionerna (förmåga, välvilja och integritet) predicerar tre utfall av psykologiskt välbefinnande hos anställda (positiv affekt, engagemang i arbetet och generell trivsel) på bibliotek i Sverige. Studien ämnade att bidra med psykologisk forskning inom biblioThe aim of this study was to examine if constructive leadership can predict trust in the immediate supervisor, similarly if trust and the three facets of trust (ability, benevolence and integrity) can predict any of the three outcomes of psychological well-being (positive affect, job engagement and general well-being) at libraries in Sweden. Continually, the aim of the study was to contribute to t

The climate crisis is becoming more and more relevant. New innovative approaches are required to be able to tackle population growth while simultaneously decreasing carbon emission. Innovation has traditionally been associated with the private sector, but more focus is set on the public sector and their responsibility on implementing innovation into the organisation and for enabling it to happen.

Retail intelligence is a big and upcoming thing in the brick and mortar-world of retail. This simply means that the resellers want to gather as much data about their products,and possibly also their customers, as possible. Some stores might want to know different information than others, but the fact of the matter is that gathering off-line data is slowly entering the world of business. There are
