Att filma blodflöden med MR-kamera kan vara ovärdeligt för patienter med ett enkammarhjärta. Denna studie visar att magnetkamera kan bli ett värdefullt verktyg för att övervaka och hantera möjliga komplikationer hos barn födda med hjärtfel, vilket i sin tur kan förbättra deras hälsa och livskvalitet. Barn som föds med ett defekt hjärta där en av hjärtats sidor inte funkar som det ska, behöver ofThe treatment for children born with only one functioning ventricle culminates in a Fontan procedure, which aims to create a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC), i.e. where the superior and inferior vena cava has been connected to the pulmonary arteries, bypassing the right atrium and ventricle. The blood flow to the right and left lung plays an important part in preventing pulmonary arterioveno

Övergödning är ett utbrett problem i alla Sveriges sötvattendrag, men störst är problematiken i södra Sverige. En kostnadseffektiv åtgärd för att få kontroll på övergödningen är att anlägga miljödammar och våtmarker i anslutning till åkermark. Dessa fångar upp och binder fosfor och kväve från gödselläckage innan det når ut i andra större vattendrag. För att dessa våtmarker ska göra nytta i längdenRegulations regarding management of dredged sediment from the maintenance of artificial ponds and other wetlands are ambiguous. Currently in Sweden, compliance with guidelines concerning pollutants is often prioritized over the climate impact associated with the transportation during disposal of these sediments. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the applicability of current guidelines to dre

Quantum metrology is a rapidly growing field of quantum information science that aims to exploit the counter-intuitive properties of quantum systems to estimate physical quantities with better-than-classical precision. The field primarily deals with the problem of estimating system parameters, which may or may not directly be associated to an observable. A prominent result of quantum metrology is

Understanding the pH sensitivity of proteins and enzymes across intracellular compartments is crucial for fundamental research. Lizatović et al. [1] aimed to design a peptide incorporating a specific amino acid to form a hexamer structure and lacking it to form a pentamer structure. Unexpectedly, two distinct structures emerged based on pH. At pH 6, a hexamer structure formed, albeit with a surpri

Samtliga företag i Sverige bör se över sin verksamhet och göra en säkerhetsanalys för att bedöma om de är av betydelse för Sveriges säkerhet. I dagsläget befinner sig Europa och Sverige i det allvarligaste säkerhetspolitiska läget sedan andra världskrigets slut. Säkerhetsprövningen syftar till att bedöma om en arbetstagare kan utgöra en säkerhetsrisk för verksamheten vid en säkerhetsklassad befattFollowing the increase that has led to the greatest security threat to Europe and Sweden since the end of World War II, all companies in Sweden are expected to review their business and conduct security analyses, to assess their organisation's risk of having security breaches. As part of this, security vetting is conducted to determine if an employee might pose a security risk to the organisat

Purpose: To identify, un

Laddskenor är en ny teknik som medför att fordon kan laddas i farten. Detta görs genom att fräsa en längre linje i vägbanan, där ett flertal laddskenor kan placeras, för att i bruk överföra ström till eldrivna fordon. Idag är laddskenor i ett utvecklingsstadie där underhållet sker separat från vägens underhåll. I följande rapport kommer en mindre väg med laddskena samt en större motorväg med planeCharging rails are a new technology that allows vehicles to be charged while in motion. This is done by milling a long line in the roadway where multiple charging rails can be placed to transfer power to electric vehicles. Currently, charging rails are in a development stage where maintenance is conducted separately from road maintenance. In the following report, a minor road with a charging rail

Insurance fraud data is highly imbalanced and it can be difficult to define what constitutes fraud within the data. In addition, the labeling process of insurance claims occurs as a result of fraud investigations, where only highly suspicious claims are investigated. As a result, the collected data can be categorized as a positively labeled and unlabeled dataset, where positively labeled data poin

In pursuit of sustainable development within the building industry, there is a shift towards design strategies that are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The European Commission has a goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 and the United Nations has also developed Agenda 2030 to aid in the reduction of the environmental impact. The city of Malmö has also developed a local plan for a

Till följd av hur samhället länge präglats av androcentrism, där kvinnan är perifer till den centrala mannen, har forskning identifierat ett problem i hur läran om brott otillräckligt uppmärksammat kvinnor, kvinnlig brottslighet och kvinnlig rehabilitering. Ny forskning har satt kvinnan i fokus vid utvecklingen av könsspecifika insatser inom rehabilitering på fängelser runtom i världen, forskning

I ett nedlagt kalkbrott i Skultorp, Västergötland, finns Lokaformationen, som är ett tunt kalkstenslager från sen-ordovicisk tid. Dess avsättning är samtida med de klimatförändringar och massutdöende som ägde rum under hirnantetagen. I den nedersta delen av mellersta Lokaformationen förekommer det mineralkorn vars ursprung väcker intresse. Syftet med detta arbete är att utförligt beskriva och kara
