Background Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of death. A common cardiac examination is to give a visualization of the myocardial blood flow by injecting a radio pharmaceutical and detect the radiation with a camera. The camera has for decades been using thallium doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) as the detector material. New detector materials have been developed because of the

In the past few decades the ways of addressing past atrocities in states on the verge of transition from abusive regimes to human rights abiding democracies have developed into an area of international law commonly known as 'Transitional Justice'. The focus lies on facilitating the transition through different measures with the purpose of addressing the past and seeking reparation for the

This report describes how you can create an application that uses Microsoft’s technologies, Windows Workflow Foundation, Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation, to create and edit workflows. Companies have all sorts of processes, which support their business. Like create an E-mailaccount in the company’s network. When companies reorganize or streamline their business the processes needs

En aktiekurva är känd för att ha sina upp- och nedgångar, så kallade bull- och bearmarknader. I denna uppsats har en matematisk modell utvecklats för att genom historiska priser kunna förutsäga om marknaden i framtiden kommer gå upp eller ned. Att förutspå om börsen kommer att gå upp eller ned kan enligt vissa definieras som finansmarknadens heliga graal. För analytiker och förvaltare är arbetsuppThe work in this thesis is meant to improve an existing algorithm described in Nystrup (2017). As the original model uses a normal distribution to approximate the daily logarithmic returns, the authors of this thesis aim to improve the approximation by using Student’s t-distribution which may be a better approximation of financial data. The algorithm uses a two state hidden Markov model to estimat

Tunisia is where all hope and rebellion started. After the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in 2010, the Jasmine Revolution spread to other Arab countries leading to the famous Arab Spring. Tunisia is depicted as the model of democratic transition in the Arab region and in the West. Transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented in the country, notably a Truth and Dignity Commission aimi

This thesis explores the discourse of Executive Order 13767 by applying Carol Bacchi’s discourse analytical method What’s the problem represented to be on the document, surrounding debates and speeches. Signed by President Donald Trump, it states that a wall should be built on the border between the US and Mexico. The thesis presents the problem representations in the policy and examine how they c

Det Svenska flerbostadshusbeståndet från åren 1945-1975 är på väg att nå slutet på sin tekniska livslängd. Byggnaderna från denna tidsperiod är i stort behov av renovering samt energieffektiviserande åtgärder för att minska energianvändningen och möjliggöra fortsatt användning av byggnaderna i framtiden, samtidigt som ekonomiskt utsatta personer har råd att bo kvar i byggnaderna. Dagens utmaning äThe Swedish apartment building stock from 1945-1975 is reaching the end of its technical life span. Renovations and energy efficiency measures are needed to reduce energy use and enable continued usage of the buildings in the future and still provide affordable housing to socioeconomic vulnerable groups. The problem today is that some building features, which are needed to estimate the renovation

The heat exchanger is a system where heat gets transferred between oil and other forms of lubricants from one system to another without mixing through conduction. The hot liquid is cooled by passing through the heat exchangers plates, which act as a wall between them. When hot liquid is passed between the plates, the following plates are passed with cold liquid, which carries the heat away from th

The meaning of human rights locally can vary depending on a city's context. Therefore, the approaches of working with human rights locally can differ. Swedish municipalities tend to lack a structure of approaching human rights. However, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) is about to publish a framework for how European human rights cities can approach human rights. This t

Atmospheric aerosols are of great importance climatically due in part to their ability to scatter and absorb solar radiation. However, their influence in our changing climate holds the greatest uncertainty of all atmospheric components. With this in mind, there remains a necessity for advancement in monitoring and measurement techniques. The aim of this investigation is to consider the current mea

I svensk rätt har den som erlagt betalning av misstag som huvudregel, enligt principen om condictio indebiti, rätt att få pengarna åter. Huvudregeln motiveras av det faktum att mottagaren inte har någon rätt till de erhållna medlen och därmed inte heller något beaktansvärt intresse av att få behålla dem. Det finns emellertid fall då omständigheterna vid betalningen och händelseförloppet därefter g

När den Europeiska ekonomiska gemenskapen bildades genom Romfördraget fanns inga uttryckliga hänvisningar till skyddet för de grundläggande rättigheterna. Den här uppsatsen beskriver framväxten av regelverket för de grundläggande rättigheter som har utvecklats av EU:s rättsväsende och lagstiftare i nära samarbete med medlemsstaterna och Europarådet. Målet med denna framställning är att presentera The Treaty of Rome which established the European Economic Community contained no explicit references to the protection of fundamental rights. This thesis describes the emergence of an EU acquis covering the field of fundamental rights developed by the EU judiciary and legislators in close cooperation with the Member States and the Council of Europe. The objective of this essay is to present the a

The Swedish technical consultancy firms are today facing a number of exciting challenges. A majority of the firms’ larger customers have already established themselves in the international market. Simultaneously they have also begun to appreciate the need of a closer cooperation with a selected number of their suppliers. Hence, opportunities arise for the technical consultants to take on a larger

This paper performs a numerical study regarding the effects of different kinds of coolants on flow and heat transfer in a pin-finned internal channel. A new pin-fin structure detached from one endwall with a round-tip is proposed which aims to increase the heat transfer enhancement. As a contrast, the investigation of the typical fully-attached pin-fin and the flat-tip detached pin-fin is also con

This article shows that women’s formal political citizenship is intertwined with the right to the city. Using Carol Bacchi’s ‘What’s the Problem Represented to be’ approach, we study how female municipal councillors argued for more public toilets in Sweden's three largest cities. In their motions, the lack of public conveniences was mainly related to a binary discourse of gender, and arguments ref

Dose conversion coefficients attempt to harmonize the material-, location-, and exposure-dependent results from retrospective dosemeters. The issues and uncertainties arising from dose conversion are explored within the framework of an interlaboratory comparison exercise in which mobile phones were positioned around anthropomorphic phantoms and exposed to non-uniform photon fields, with the glass

Sammanfattning Grundläggande mänskliga rättigheter är ett växande rättsområde, vilket illustreras av den ökande andelen mål med grund i mänskliga rättigheter vid Europeiska domstolar. Denna utveckling, i kombination med att rättighetskatalogen utvidgas och att de befintliga rättigheterna får en mer extensiv tolkning innebär oundvikligen att även mål där två mänskliga rättigheter ställs emot varandSummary Fundamental rights are an expanding area of law, which is demonstrated by the increasing number of cases in European courts drawing upon fundamental rights provisions. This development in combination with the expanding rights catalogue and a more extensive interpretation given to existing rights inevitably also leads to an increase in conflicts between fundamental rights. This issue has ho

This project tested the potential of plant based milk powders to function as an animal-based milk powder by testing them on multiple characteristics. The powders were produced using spray drying techniques, obtained using formulations differentiating in protein amount, ratio of maltodextrin:sucrose and two different protein sources. The different ratios were 100% sucrose; 100% maltodextrin; 50% ma

Detta examensarbete undersöker det rättsliga landskapet kring möjligheter att få stöd och service för barn med funktionsnedsättning som har fått tillfälligt skydd i Sverige enligt Massflyktsdirektivet. Detta skedde som ett resultat av Rysslands invasion av Ukraina 2022, vilket ledde till en betydande tillströmning av personer till EU och aktiveringen av EU:s Massflyktsdirektiv för första gången. This thesis examines the legal landscape surrounding the social assistance provided to children with disabilities under temporary protection in Sweden. The aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 prompted a significant influx of displaced individuals into the EU. The EU Temporary Protection Directive was activated for the first time. The thesis explores the Swedish legal system’s respons
