BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) involves treatment re-planning based on anatomical changes, which may improve target coverage and sparing of organs-at-risk (OARs). This study retrospectively assessed the technical feasibility and potential benefits of daily ART in combination with reduced planning target volume (PTV) margins for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).MAT

Researchers have examined how teachers come to make sense of language policies in their practice. These studies explored the relationship between language policies and teacher agency in various contexts. The aim of the study was to explore English upper secondary school teachers’ agency in Sweden, since the Swedish educational language policy expects English teachers to include various functions t

The European Union has committed to the ambitious target of increasing renewable energy sources by 27% in the energy consumption of member states by 2030. Biomass is considered as one of the most promising renewable energy resources to meet these goals. Currently, energy from biomass contributes up to two-thirds of the 28 member states primary combined renewable energy production. In Hungary, the

Pappers- och pappersmassaindustrin har ökat markant under de senaste årtiondena. På grund av att samhället har blivit mer miljömedvetet har återvinning av papper blivit en allt viktigare del inom industrin. Återvunna pappersfiber är dock av lägre kvalité än nygjorda fibrer. Syftet med denna rapport är att analysera möjligheterna att använda ett enzym av typen lackas för att modifiera interaktionenThe pulp and paper industry have been a growing market during the last decades. Due to higher environmental concerns among people, the recycling of papers has become an even more important part of the industry. Recycled paper fibers however are of lower quality than virgin fibers. This report aims to analyze the possibility to use a laccase enzyme to modify the interaction between lignin and recyc

For decades, the use of elevators has been prohibited during emergencies but with the ever-increasing heights of the buildings, safe and timely vertical evacuation by the conventional means of stairs seems more and more of a challenge. With the recent push for a better understanding of the pros and cons of use of elevators for evacuation by various concerned parties, it is imperative that there is

Digitalization has grasped almost every aspect of work in Norway in similarity to the developed world. Although many advantages are followed with the implementation of digital tools to bolster the work effort, there is a widespread downside, technostress. This phenomenon engulfs large parts of the workforce and poses a challenge for any foreseeable future, and there is a general lack of research a

The present research aims at finding the underlying factors that contributed to the recently observed disappearance of economic shrinking in Ethiopia, defined as negative rates of GDP per capita growth. Within the framework of the Theory of Shrinking (Broadberry & Wallis, 2017) it sheds light on structural, technological and demographic change, the occurrence of warfare as well as institutiona

When producing printed circuit boards, end of line testing needs to be done to assure that as few faulty products as possible reach the customer. This can be done manually, but takes long time. By using a Functional Test fixture (FCT-fixture) it is possible to do the test faster and at a lower cost. A FCT-fixture is a fixture with a lid where the printed circuit board is placed. When the lid is cl

I den här masteruppsatsen undersöktes geokemin i kalkskalen av bottenlevande foraminiferer från Anholt (Kattegat), Ristinge (Bälthavet) och Obrzynowo (Egentliga Östersjön), för att rekonstruera de hydrografiska förhållanden i Östersjön och paleomiljön under den senaste interglacialen (130 - 115 ka BP). De variabler som analyserades innefattade Mg/Ca, Ba/Ca och Mn/Ca samt stabila syre- och kolisotoIn this thesis, three microfossil records from Anholt (Kattegat), Ristinge (the Danish straits) and Obrzynowo (the southern Baltic- coast) representing the last interglacial Eemian (130- 115 ka B.P) were generated. The geochemistry of benthic foraminifera was investigated to reconstruct the Eemian Baltic Sea hydrography and paleoenvironment. The paleo-environmental proxies were: the trace elements

In the last decades Peru, one of the top performing countries in Latin America, experienced a dramatic reduction in poverty. The set of structural reforms implemented by Peru during the mid-90s included trade liberalisation which implied a drastic reduction of tariffs on highly protected sectors, and particularly, in agriculture where most poor Peruvians work, and Free Trade Agreements. How relati

During the years of the so-called refugee crisis, migrants lacking access to housing in Greece have squatted buildings or resided in makeshift settlements. Those homes have been met with state violence and continuous evictions. Those evictions are a form of migration control in the context of an ongoing disciplinary ‘management’ of migrant populations and their mobility in Europe and Greece. The t

This thesis investigates the causal relationships among alarms at the European Spallation Source (ESS), focusing on enhancing alarm management through advanced data analytics. The study explores these relationships using Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs) complemented with well-defined Conditional Probability Distributions (CPTs). This approach models the cascading interactions of alarms based on th

Recent shifts in phenology in response to climate change are well established but often poorly understood. Many animals integrate climate change across a spatially and temporally dispersed annual life cycle, and effects are modulated by ecological interactions, evolutionary change and endogenous control mechanisms. Here we assess and discuss key statements emerging from the rapidly developing stud

Little information exists on the possible teratogenic effect of modern antiobesity drugs. The present study refers to orlistat, sibutramine, and rimonabant. Data in the Swedish Medical Birth Register were utilised. During the years 1998-2011, among 392,126 infants born, 509 had been exposed to antiobesity drugs in early pregnancy: 248 to orlistat, 242 to sibutramine, 12 to rimonabant, 13 to unspec

Farmland birds in Europe have declined in numbers from the last decades, as reflected in the Farmland Bird Index (FBI), a multi-species indicator of population trends adopted by the European Union. Some of these farmland bird species breed to a varying degree also in non-farmland habitats: however, the indicator is calculated using trends estimated from all birds counted of each species, irrespect
