Kranioplastik är ett kirurgiskt ingrepp där en del av skallen rekonstrueras på grund av estetiska eller medicinska skäl. I de flesta av fallen är kranioplastiken gjord med patientens egna skallben som har sparats från ett tidigare kirurgiskt ingrepp men om skallbenet saknas på grund av en defekt eller annan anledning så behövs ett implantat. Metoden för att designa implantatet har tidigare beståttCranioplasty is surgical repair of a skull bone defect due to a previous surgery or injury. Cranioplasty is most often performed with autologous bone flap, i.e the patient's own saved bone from previous surgery if this is available. If autologous bone is not available then custom procedure is to manually mould an implant using bone cement from the plastic polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Manual

Denna uppsats undersöker förhållandet mellan plattformsföretag och arbetsmiljöreglerna i AFS 2001:1. Framväxten av delningsekonomin har inneburit att traditionella begrepp som arbetsgivare och arbetstagare, anpassade för bilaterala företagsstrukturer, har ställts på sin spets och att gränsdragningsproblematiken mellan ett anställningsförhållande och uppdragsförhållande blivit ett faktum i och med This thesis aims to examine the relationship between platform companies and the working environment regulation in AFS 2001:1.

Future experiments with thermal neutrons at neutron facilities may encounter fast neutrons as sources of background. Understanding fast neutron behavior on an event-by-event basis in a detector is important for these complementary thermal neutron experiments. One way to study fast neutron events is by performing a time-of-flight measurement. In this thesis, a calibration of a neutron time-of-fligh
