Sedan sent 1800-tal har strålterapi använts för behandling av cancer. 50% av alla cancerpatienter blir någon gång behandlade med strålterapi, som är en avancerad teknik med många olika steg för att uppnå den slutgiltiga behandlingsplanen. Patienten börjar sin strålbehandlingsresa med att bli diagnosticerad och får sin behandling ordinerad. Efter detta startar förberedelserna inför strålbehandlingeBackground and purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) only radiotherapy has, due to superior soft tissue contrast of MRI and the possible reduction of systematic uncertainties, grown into a promising technique. The purpose of this work is to investigate parts of an MRI only workflow with synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images generated from MRI. This was done through investigation of treatm

BACKGROUND: Obesity has been increasing in both developed and developing countries. One of the prevention strategies is controlling energy intake. The objective of this research was to examine the effects of four designed whole grain products, i.e. WG 100, WG 50/50, WG 50/50 + RS and KWWB, on colonic fermentation and appetite variables in healthy subjects. METHODS: The determination of dietary fib

The energy use in the building sector is increasing rapidly which contributes to the rise in global greenhouse gas concentration. Energy-efficient buildings are considered as healthy buildings due to the improved air quality and comfortable indoor environment. One million residential buildings were built in Sweden during 1965 and 1975 to minimize the acute housing shortage. This initiative was tak

In times of increased environmental awareness, there exists a desire to not only build new environmentally friendly and renewable power generating units, but also to increase the efficiency of all existing technology. Wind power is such a renewable and environmentally friendly technology. Wind turbines and wind power have made giant leaps in the world in the past years, with an almost exponential

When constructing roads, it often happens that the contractor have trouble following the documentation intended for the project. When the contractor is unable to follow the documents and instead need new instructions, there is always changed, added or outgoing work. Sometimes this could mean that it is impossible to stay within the road area, for example, to accommodate the slopes, or more land ne

Almost 2 million people are living in Islamabad, significant number of workforce commute from neighboring areas and other parts of the country. The city is facing restraint on natural resources due to increased urban migration coupled with rapid population growth. As a result, the city infrastructure facilities and living conditions are deteriorating. The problems associated with drinking water av

This thesis concerns early medieval dress brooches from urban and rural sites in South West Scania. The purpose is to investigate similarities and differences between urban and rural sites as well as between the rural places in particular. The main research questions concern the reasons for the similarities and differences, what connections and contact areas are observable according to the dress b

Introduction: Swimming ability provides many known benefits while a lack of ability can result in dire consequences including death. Swimming and water safety are taught in the Swedish school system and increase the likelihood of being able to save oneself and other. Immigrants miss some or all these lessons – a safety concern in addition to a social and integration challenge. The Swedish Lifesavi

The following thesis sets out to identify and map out the current problems that a circular economy, where waste management is the main focus, faces within the construction sector among entrepreneurs mainly in the southern parts of Sweden. As well as proposing solutions to said problems which are deemed to be applicable and have potential according to the authors. Construction waste amounts for one

The traditional art market is currently experiencing a digital transformation and multi-sided platforms (MSPs) for trading art are a major part of this. Much research has been done in the area of MSPs, however, there is a lack of studies in the field of starting such platforms for art. Therefore, this study aims to determine the critical success factors (CSFs) for starting an online art platform (

Ett av Sveriges hållbarhetsmål är att senast 2045 inte generera några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. För att uppnå detta mål krävs kraftiga åtgärder inom alla sektorer. En av dessa är bygg- och fastighetssektorn som 2018 stod för ca 22 % av Sveriges territoriella utsläpp av växthusgaser. Enbart cementindustrin står för ca 5–7 %. Cirka hälften av klimatpåverkan från moderna flerbostadshus uppkommer One of the main sustainability goals in Sweden is to reduce the nations greenhouse gas emissions to a net-zero level by 2045. This is a national implementation of the Paris- Agreement. To achieve this goal measures need to be taken in all industrial sectors. The construction and real-estate sectors are responsible for about 22 % of Sweden’s yearly territorial greenhouse gas emissions. The cement i

Öring: Populär värdfisk för Vramsåns flodpärlmusslor Flodpärlmusslan är en av de äldsta djurarterna i Sverige och kan leva över 100 år. Den äldsta flodpärlmusslan hittades i Görjeån och var 280 år gammal. Det latinska namnet margaritifera margaritifera betyder pärlbärare och är en ytterligare fascinerande egenskap hos denna art. När ett främmande föremål, till exempel ett sandkorn, transporteras The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera has dramatically declined through its entire distribution range since the 1900’s. Despite the increasing conservation measures implemented to protect the species, many populations are still endangered. The long-term objective of this research, realized in collaboration with Lund University and the Life Connects project, was to raise the succe

This thesis studies the phenomenon of non-actual motion (NAM) (Blomberg, 2014; Blomberg & Zlatev 2014), and its expression in language and gestures. It has been documented that many languages employ expressions of motion in descriptions of static scenarios (Amagawa, 1997; Blomberg, 2014; Matsumoto, 1996; Rojo & Valenzuela, 2003, 2009; Stosic & Sarda, 2009), here called NAM-expressions

Genom reformen en modernare rättegång gjordes möjligheten för parter att närvara vid domstolssammanträden via ljud- och/eller bildöverföring permanent. Användningen av sådana lösningar har ökat under de senaste åren och accelererades av covid-19-pandemin. I experimentell miljö har det återkommande observerats att vittnens och målsägandes utsagor uppfattas som mindre tillförlitliga om de presenterThrough the reform en modernare rättegång [a more modern trial] the possibility for parties to attend court hearings via video and/or audio was made permanent. The use of such solutions has increased over the last years and was accelerated by the covid-19 pandemic. In experimental settings it has repeatedly been observed that witnesses’ and complainants’ testimonies are perceived as less credibl

Migration is an adaptation for birds to exploit the resources that change temporally and spatially. The recent development of miniature light level geolocators has revealed this previously poorly known aspect of birds. From light intensity data together with time recorded by geolocators, we can infer the positions of the birds, i.e. latitudes and longitudes, using a threshold method or a curve-fit

The hairdresser occupation is classified as probably carcinogenic to humans based on an excess risk for urinary bladder cancer, but it is unclear if current work as a hairdresser entails such a risk. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate if hairdressers have an ongoing exposure to selected carcinogenic aromatic amines. We recruited 295 hairdressers, 32 consumers of hair dyes and 60 co
