A next-generation drinking water purification device has been developed which uses UV-LEDs to create high intensity UV light to inactive the bacteria present in the water that flows through the device tube chamber. The capacity of the different setups of the devices to perform water purification was examined by experimental testing. This report investigates using a new flow cytometry approach comp
”Det är för komplicerat för att det bara ska uppstå”– En hermeneutisk fallstudie av spelbranschen Syftet med denna studie är undersöka kreativitet inom tv- och dataspelsbranschen. Detta utförs genom en fallstudie i det som uppsatsen har identifierat som kluster av flera aktörer i en stad. I denna fallstudie har fem personer med olika relationer till spelbranschen intervjuats. Begreppet kreativitet
The new CZT camera has a different technology compared to conventional scintillation gamma cameras. The CZT camera have pinholes instead of parallel hole collimators, a static gantry instead of a rotating one and detection material made of a semiconductor in- stead of a scintillation crystal. The images arising from the CZT camera have a difference in appearance compared to the images produced by
This work presents the first data from a calculation engine for synchrotron Microbeam Radiation Therapy (MRT) implemented in the EclipseTM Treatment Planning System from Varian Medical Services. The calculation engine constitutes a simple pencil beam algorithm estimating ‘peak’ dose and of Monte Carlo simulated Peak Valley Dose Ratios (PVDRs) that are used to obtain ‘valley’ dose. The aim of this
Aim: Renography with 99mTc-MAG3 is one of the most common nuclear medicine examinations. It’s extensive use justifies a thorough investigation of the methods used to accurately determine the split renal function, for instance with regard to background subtraction and correction for renal depth differ- ences. Previous studies on this subject have been made, mainly on patient image data, thus the ”t
Introduction: Calcium is an important ubiquitous second messenger regarding the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and is therefore tightly regulated. Calcium induces cell death when internalised into cancer cells after permeabilization of the cell membrane by electroporation. It is established that radiation causes damage to the lipids and proteins of the cell membrane; and ionizing radiation a
This Bechelor thesis is written on behalf of Verisure Innovation AB in Mamö, Sweden. The authors were studying Bachelors of Sience in Electrical Engineering with focus on automation at Lunds Tekniska Högskola, Campus Helsingborg. The main goal of the thesis was to develop a prototype of an alarmsystem for domestic swimming pools. The system was supposed to sound an alarm if a human being or animal
Examensarbetet syftar till att ge ett fo¨rslag till ett fo¨retag som vill uto¨ka sin verksamhet i en redan existerande byggnad. Byggnaden, som a¨r ett gammalt stall, a¨r bela¨gen i utkanten av Ba°rslo¨v. En liten del av stallet har redan renoverats om till ett par la¨genheter som kunden, Aplaga°rden B & B och vinga°rd, hyr ut i dagsla¨get. Ba°rslo¨vs omra°det har en va¨ldigt gammal historia oc
Att ersätta vårdgivare baserat på prestation och kvalitet har blivit ett allt vanligare inslag inom vården och ett allt mer beprövat sätt att skapa incitament till förbättrad vårdkvalitet. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka effekten av så kallad målrelaterad ersättning på kvaliteten i den vård av patienter med diabetes typ 1 som bedrivs inom den svenska primärvården. Undersökningen består a
China, with the fast developing financial market, experienced two dramatic stock market crisis in recent ten years under government constrains. Thus, monitoring the systemic risk in China is crucial and meaningful. This paper applies CoVaR methodology to measure the dynamic systemic risk of China’s financial market from 1996 to 2016. The financial market is divided into bank and non-bank sectors.
China’s space economy is highly fragmented with a few mega cities and a large periphery with less advantageous cities lagging behind. While this have been the explicit approach of China’s policymakers to achieve rapid growth, less developed cities have been challenged as the suppliers in the process. The purpose of this paper is with the use of a production function examine the spatial spill overs
This thesis looks at the Nordic Centre for Gender in Military Operations and sees how the centre constructs its own identity to align with the discourse of postna¬tional defense, and how it evaluates NATOs peacekeeping operation in Afghani¬stan. Through this, the thesis aims to analyse the hegemonic struggle between the discourses of traditional military structure and the cosmopolitan postnational
This paper seeks to determine whether demographics can increase the forecasting accuracy of United Kingdom’s inflation rate. Five forecasting models were employed, namely: the benchmark ARMA model, the SW (2002) model with and without a demographic factor and the FHLR(2003) model with and without a demographic factor. Both the out of sample and the in-sample forecast results indicates that, factor
This study investigates the relationship between capital imports and non-performing loans (NPLs) in the context of the European debt crisis. The empirical analysis is based on a panel data set covering 22 countries in the European Union (EU) between year 2001 and 2014. All individual estimations in the empirical analysis indicate a significant and negative relationship between capital imports and
Student achievement in reading is a complex phenomenon that depends on many factors, but perhaps it can be predicted with a smaller model. Does attending kindergarten as well as parental education affect reading achievement at the end of the fourth grade? Can reading achievement be predicted by the combination of attending kindergarten and parental education? Results from the IEA PIRLS (Progress i
Credit risk modeling is an important part of the nancial protection used by banks during times of turbulence in the economy. More precisely, the modelling is about estimating how much economic capital a bank needs to hold in order to survive during an extreme loss. This thesis is about improving the robustness for the estimation of the economic capital, when it is updated as time passes. A decreas
I studien framgår det att i problematiken som organisations- och styrprinciper inom hälso- och sjukvården har skapat är det verksamma chefer som anpassar och styr verksamheterna för att hantera just denna problematik. Genom att utforma egna hybridorganisationer där de verksamma cheferna kombinerar olika organisationsformer skapar de en struktur anpassad enligt verksamhetens kontext. Samtidigt infl
Efter en regeländring i inkomstskattelagen i juli 2003 gjorde en ny typ av fastighetsförsäljning entré på marknaden: paketering, vilket innebär att en fastighet säljs i bolagsform snarare än som fast egendom. Genom detta förfarande blir fastighetstransaktionen skattefri (eller lågt beskattad), vilket också har lett till att paketering numera är en vanlig företeelse i Sverige. Detta innebär en uteb
Företag har traditionellt koncentrerat sig på den tekniska biten av IT-säkerhet, med brandväggar, virusskydd och så vidare. Men eftersom många säkerhetsincidenter sker på grund av att företagets anställda inte följer företagets informationssäkerhetspolicy bör IT-säkerhet även innefatta den mänskliga faktorn. Med min studie så vill jag undersöka hur anställda uppfattar hur de sociala banden på arbe
