As incidences of chronic diseases increase, the tools to diagnose, treat and monitor such conditions become more important. Medical imaging technologies, being one of these tools, still face challenges in safe and effective use. At the same time, poor design of medical devices causes errors that could be avoided using proper design methods. The master thesis is written in collaboration with Bild

This work aimed to characterize single chain fragment variables (scFvs) against S100A7 and Calprotectin, proteins part of the Ca2+ binding S100 family that have been associated with inflammatory diseases and cancer. The mechanisms governing the physiological functions of S100 proteins are not fully understood, but it is known that many of them contribute to maintaining homeostasis in the intracell

Speaker verification is the process of verifying the identity of a person based on voice. This process usually encompasses the following steps: The speech signal is mapped into features using a feature extractor, these features are then classified using a post processor.

The main theme of this project is inventory control with stochastic demand. In this thesis, we consider a two-echelon inventory system that consists of one central warehouse and N retail stores. Customer demands at the retailers follow independent Poisson demand processes and each customer only demands one unit. Customer demands which are not satisfied directly from stock on hand are assumed to ba

The primary aim of this paper is to investigate which attributes are most important to the online customer experience (OCE) in the fast fashion industry. Qualitative data was gathered through a netnography of online customer reviews and comments, and a comprehensive framework of attributes important to OCE in the fast fashion industry was constructed. This framework includes nine primary attribute

Lake Vomb is situated in the southwest of Skåne, Sweden, and is important due to its role as drinking water reservoir. The lake is situated in highly cultivated farmland and is highly influenced by nutrient rich run-off water. There is no locally adapted water management plan for lake Vomb and the lake is currently managed under a regional water management plan which covers the entire Southern B

Combustion of fossil fuels is single-handedly the largest contributor of global warming. The transportation sector is responsible for about a third of the greenhouse gas emissions yearly in Sweden. In turn, road traffic makes up the largest share within the transportation. The Swedish government has set out an ambitious goal to reduce domestic carbon emissions caused by the transportation sector

studien undersöker svenska transportföretagens hållbarhetsrapporter med hjälp av 3BL-modellen för att öka förståelsen för transportföretagens hållbarhetsarbete.

During the past two decades, the higher education sector has undergone rapid changes as a result of which many higher education institutions (HEIs) find themselves being compared to other institutions.

Idag sker majoriteten av alla kommersiella fastighetstransaktioner via bolag. Detta sker genom att först låta paketera fastigheterna i bolag, för att sedan avyttra aktierna i bolagen där fastigheterna ingår. Drivkraften bakom förvärvsmetoden är sänkta transaktionskostnader, främst genom skattebesparingar. Detta innebär att allt färre transaktioner sker på traditionellt vis, det vill säga som fast The trend of increasing commercial real estate transactions via companies has a negative impact on the process of estimating the taxable values. This due to the sharp decrease of comparison material for our Swedish authorities. Real estate transactions via companies also enable information about the transaction to be kept secret from outside parties. The study aims to show how various parties in t
