Background: Magnetic resonance flow imaging is vital tool for modern cardiovascular medicine. However, it is resource intensive. Simulations can help develop magnetic resonance sequencing methods and can also facilitate use of AI models in the future by providing realistic test models to train on. Simulations of magnetic resonance imaging are often computationally demanding and the accuracy of the
Krami is a place and organization in central Malmö that helps criminals and addicts to find employment with the goal of becoming self-sufficient and changing their lifestyle. What originates in a criminal context can often be understood as the same reason why the same person wants to change. Family and one's own children are a major driving force in carrying out this complex and individual pro
Aortic valve stenosis is a common congenital heart defect among children. In affected patients, the normal tricuspid valve structure is malformed into a bicuspid valve structure due to a fusion at one commissure. A common treatment is transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty, where a balloon is inserted through the aortic valve and inflated to mechanically tear the fused region, restoring a tricuspid s
In 2022, the Government of Lithuania approved the new Crisis Management and Civil Safety law to establish the National Crisis Management Centre (NCMC). This thesis was written during the initial phase of the NCMC creation process. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the Lithuanian governance capacity and legitimacy within the emergency and crisis management (CM) system and investigate the foc
The Ararat Valley, being the cereal basket of Armenia and Turkey, is in danger with over-abstracted groundwater, which already induces colossal water loss and land subsidence. In the current work, advanced remote sensing techniques and machine learning models are applied to predict subsidence and give datadriven recommendations to effect sustainable water management. The tracking of terrain change
This essay explores whether there is a connection between geographical location and degree of socioeconomic inequity in children’s health status in Zambia. It looks at, to what extent a difference can be seen in the socioeconomic health gap between rural and urban areas and between primarily rural administrative provinces and primarily urban ones. The questions examined here are: 1) Does geographi
The point of departure for this Master’s thesis is twofold. First, the authors notice an apparent shift in focus, from collections towards the audiences, which has affected the international museum sector during the last decades. Second, they notice a change in the discourse concerning the cultural sector towards interpreting issues in economic terms. The development of the British method Generic
This Master’s thesis is set to study why art historical museums exhibit their permanent collections in a different way than what is generally more common in natural history and cultural history museums. Whereas art history museums tend to keep their rooms free from voices, natural and cultural history museums tend to (and have for a long while) build up more scenes. I also study how these ways of
There are multiple things you can do at the public library such as study, borrow books and use the computers. The purpose of this master thesis is to understand what opinions the visitors to Lund Municipality's public library have about the process of looking for books in the library. Furthermore, it will be investigated whether the opinions differ between visitors to staffed or unstaffed libr
15% of all five year olds and 5-10% of all 7 year olds struggle with bedwetting, a condition medically known as enuresis. Current treatment methods rely primarily on the family to carry out an 8 week treatment. In order to involve healthcare providers in the process and create an opportunity for individualized treatments, Pjama AB has developed an enuresis alarm system. This system directly shares
Bridges constructed without joints function to take care of forces by introducing bending moments to the stiff connections. Jointless bridges, also called integral bridges, in different appearances are built all over the world, and are popular due to their advantages regarding life cycle cost. Usually the dimensions of the structural parts, especially the backwalls, tends to be large and the eleme
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the study of fluid flows for the analysis of phenomena by scenarios simulated in a computer-based environment. One of the most well-known CFD simulation packages in the fire safety field is Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS). The tasks of setting up an FDS input file can be time-consuming especially for complex building geometries. Building Information Modelling (BI
Title: Adaptation of shipment consolidation and distribution network design to omni-channel retailing Authors: Johan Deniz, Martin Månsson Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Problem description: Global retailers tend to have complex distribution networks. A part of the complexity stems from trade-offs in deciding
About 5-10 % of all bone fractures suffer from delayed healing, which may lead to non-union. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) can be used to induce differentiation of osteoblasts and enhance the formation of the bony callus, and bisphosphonates help to retain the newly formed callus. The aim of this study was to investigate if scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectr
European VAT and the Sharing Economy aims to understand whether the current European Value Added Tax (EU VAT) system is sufficiently equipped to deal with the ongoing transformation of the supply chain as well as the increasing digitalization of the economy ushered in by the rise of multisided digital platforms. New digital platforms such as those of the sharing economy, have dramatically expanded
Cone calorimeter and controlled atmosphere cone calorimeter experiments were conducted on various samples. The intent of the tests was to examine the behavior of uniform and composite samples in a range of thicknesses, irradiances, and oxygen concentrations. Single, uniform layers of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) were compared to a composite mix, comprising of ABS with a surface layer of c
From November 12th to 13th in 1872, an extreme coastal flood event occurred in the south Baltic Sea. An unusual combination of winds created a storm surge reaching up to 3.5 m above mean sea level, which is more than a meter higher than all other observations over the past 200 years. On the Danish, German, and Swedish coasts, about 300 people lost their lives. The consequences of the storm in Denm
Electromechanical oscillations is a power system phenomenon where generator rotors oscillate, leading to oscillatory power flows. Damping of such oscillations is important for system stability. Forced oscillations is a special case where one faulty component is the source of the oscillation. This report concerns the Dissipating Energy Flow (DEF), which is an energy-based method for analysing dampi
