Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate if surface guided radiotherapy (SGRT) can decrease setup deviations for tangential and locoregional breast cancer patients compared to conventional laser-based setup (LBS). Materials and Methods: Both tangential (63 patients) and locoregional (76 patients) breast cancer patients were enrolled in this study. For LBS, the patients were positioned

In my thesis I have chosen to immerse myself in the regional power line network and how it will be built. I have chosen this topic because it is a significant question today and in the future. The investments and technical choices made today, will affect the outcome on the society of tomorrow. When the local power line network was rebuilt, after the hurricane Gudrun in the year 2005, it implied a

Background and purpose Most studies on high tibial osteotomies (HTOs) have been hospital-based and have included a limited number of patients. We evaluated the use and outcome-expressed as rate of revision to knee arthroplasty-of HTO performed in Sweden with 9 million inhabitants, 1998-2007. Patients and methods 3, 161 HTO procedures on patients 30 years or older (69% men) who were operated on for

Positron emission tomography (PET) with (18)F-FDG is a valuable tool for staging, planning treatment, and evaluating the treatment response for many different types of tumours. The correct volume estimation is of utmost importance in these situations. To date, the most common types of phantoms used in volume quantification in PET utilize fillable, hollow spheres placed in a circular or elliptical

Background: Functional polymorphisms of the solute carrier family 22, member 4 (SLC22A4), runt related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) and small ubiquitin- like modifier 4 (SUMO4) genes have been shown to be associated with several autoimmune diseases. Objective: To test the possible role of these variants in susceptibility to or severity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), on the basis that com

BACKGROUND: It has previously been shown that propofol in clinically relevant concentrations induces a calcium-dependent conformational change in the cytoskeleton. The aim of this study was to further clarify the effect of propofol on the actin cytoskeleton and to determine if this conformational change is mediated by the interaction between the GABA(A)-receptor and propofol. METHODS: Primary cult

As the identification process is based on the unique patterns of the users, biometrics technologies are expected to provide highly secure authentication systems. The existing systems using fingerprints or retina patterns are, however, very vulnerable. One's fingerprints are accessible as soon as the person touches a surface, while a high resolution camera easily captures the retina pattern. Thus,

Regeringen har initierat en utredning angående möjligheterna att kriminalisera medlemskap i en rasistisk organisation. Ett sådant straffbud hade berört föreningsfriheten, den negativa yttrandefriheten och den fria åsiktsbildningen i regeringsformen. Syftet med undersökningen är att utreda den svenska fri- och rättighetsregleringen och ifall en kriminalisering hade varit förenlig med detta skydd.

Är tiden för privatliv förbi i och med de nya möjligheterna att fotografera med mobilkameror och installera privat övervakningsutrustning? Diskussionen om personlig integritet och dess samband med bildupptagning är inte ny. Däremot har teknikens utveckling och nya snabba kommunikationsvägar via internet bidragit till att frågan är högaktuell och ett ökat skydd mot smygfotografering och filmning bIs the possibility for privacy long gone as a consequence of mobile cameras and easily attainable surveillance camera equipment? The discussion on personal integrity and its correlation with photography is not a new one. However, recent inventions and new fast communication channels through the internet has elevated the actuality of the issue, and a stronger protection against secret photographin

Measurements of heart rate without contact can be of much importance when the possibilities of skin contact for different reasons are limited, or for monitoring at distance over time. This is an emerging area in our time, and the idea to construct a working system to demonstrate the technique was therefore born. The work has been performed at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at LTH. The m

The purpose of this Master’s Thesis was to examine different usage applications for animations and to develop one or several animated products for Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB. The overall objective was to develop an animated tool for information purposes and to investigate different interesting fields of application for the animated products. The goal was also to show the procedure of c

Saving peak powers in the heating systems have been in focus for some years now. Sweden has more and more cooling systems with an increase in cooling also in residential buildings. The cooling power is much more expensive than the heating power and the cost of cooling is largely driven by installed power. Therefore, there is a relative advantage of reducing the cooling power instead of heating pow

This study examines whether the take-back and resale programmes of leading global fast-fashion retailers deliver substantive circular change or instead represent means-ends decoupling. Drawing on means-ends decoupling and organisational legitimacy theory, it analyses the corporate sustainability reports of H&M Group, Fast Retailing, and Inditex across five consecutive fiscal years (FY2020–FY20

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The treatment landscape for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) is evolving rapidly. Real-world data (RWD) are essential to understand actual treatment use and outcomes. This study aimed to describe treatment trajectories and clinical outcomes in a large, multicenter RWD cohort under the PIONEER project. METHODS: Eight European and US databases (2016-2020
