Treatment planning plays a vital role in providing good treatment to cancer patients. In order to reach an adequate treatment plan, the algorithm used for simulating the dose in the patient must model the reality well. The most accurate algorithm for this is the Monte Carlo method, which in the context of radiotherapy treatment most often is used for pre-computing spot doses and optimizing the int

At its core, language is multimodal (Kendon, 1986; McNeill, 1994), and information presented through different channels of information, such as visually, in the shape of gestures, or verbally, in the shape of speech or signs, together facilitate online language processing (Kelly, Healey, Özyürek, & Holler, 2015; Kelly, Özyürek, & Maris, 2010). This thesis extends previous studies on multim
Does economic globalization impact sexual beliefs, contributing to the rise of right-wing parties? Although voters may not discern threats from trade shocks, individual economic insecurity theoretically impacts cultural attitudes and sparks a backlash towards outgroups, in turn contributing to right-wing candidates that campaign leveraging intolerance. Considering that scholars provide evidence fo
In the past decade, micro-enterprise development has gained popularity as an intervention in the Global South, including Colombia, a country where more than 90% of businesses are micro. For decades, this country has endured an internal conflict that has left millions of victims of forced displacement, who live in vulnerable situations and, in many cases, resort to creating micro-enterprises to mak
Despite prayer being one of the most central tenets of Islam, this subject has drawn the attention of surprisingly little scholarship, especially when it comes to studying its origin against pre-Islamic analogues. Thus, this thesis proposes a reconstruction of the very early history of the fivefold daily Islamic liturgy, attempting also to weigh the extent of the influence that pre-Islamic religio
The purpose of this paper is to speak on the similarities and differences between the Traverso and the Boehm-flute, specifically on interpretation and focusing on the embouchure, sound colour, and tuning systems. The written format of this study allowed me to express better and be more specific on the information selected to be more concise and beneficial to what I intended from this research. As

The predictions made by the STGNN will be compared with classical machine learning (ML) methods, including Random Forest (RF), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Linear Regression (LR). To facilitate the prediction of usage efficiency, the Time to Bookin
The triple planetary crisis exerts high pressure on countries to transform their current economic system. The transition to a green economy is not only necessary to ensure sustainable development but also essential for countries to remain economically competitive. The neighbouring countries Panama and Costa Rica are both facing significant challenges under the green transition, despite their diffe
Armenia started the disability policy reforms since the ratification of the UN CRPD in 2010. The final laws however were adopted only in 2021 and are not fully in force till now. The objective of this study is to comprehensively investigate the influence of international development agendas on national policy-shaping. Additionally, the study seeks to gain a nuanced understanding of the complex pro
E-handelsindustrin har länge använt sig av third-party cookies för att spåra internetanvändare, men 2024 kommer dessa att ha fasats ut från de största webbläsarna. Det nuvarande kunskapsläget kan varken besvara vad e-handlarna anser vara alternativ till third-party cookies eller vilka faktorer som leder till acceptans av dessa. Syftet med studien är därför att kvalitativt beskriva vad svenska e-ha
Studien undersöker digital transformation inom den offentliga sektorn i Sverige, med fokus på domstolsväsendet och sjukvården. Digital transformation har blivit en central process för samhällsutveckling, beskriven i tre faser: datorisering, digitalisering och digital transformation. Trots att en lyckad digital transformation kan generera effektivitetsvinster och värde för olika intressenter, finns
Den här uppsatsen undersöker arbetsgivarens rehabiliteringsansvar och hur långt det sträcker sig. Ur arbetsgivarens perspektiv kan rehabiliteringsarbetet delas upp i tre distinkta delar med olika regleringar. Den första delen är undersökningsfasen där det viktiga är om arbetstagaren är sjuk och om arbetstagarens bristande prestation beror på sjukdomen, eftersom det endast är då rehabiliteringsansvEmployers have a responsibility when their workers become sick, to assist in the employee’s effort to rehabilitate and return to work, if possible. The objective for this student thesis is to take a closer look at the employer’s rehabilitation responsibility, by examining the legislation, the legislative history, and relevant court cases and precedents. The employer’s rehabilitation responsibiliti
Anteciperat avtalsbrott, även så kallat befarat avtalsbrott regleras i bestämmelserna 61-63 §§ KöpL. För att kunna hålla inne sin prestation krävs det att starka skäl ska föreligger följt av ett flertal rekvisit, till exempel att det ska röra sig om en viss väsentlighet. Det ska med andra ord finnas starka misstankar om att motparten inte kommer att uppfylla en väsentlig del av sina prestationer. Anticipated breach of contract, also known as feared breach of contract, is regulated in provisions 61-63 §§ KöpL. In order to be able to withhold performance, it is required that there must be strong reasons followed by a number of prerequisites, for example, it must be of a certain materiality. In other words, there must be strong suspicions that the counterparty will not fulfill a substantial p
Drought is projected to increase in frequency and intensity and impacts trees with increased water stress and increased mortality rate. Water stresses can cause hydraulic failure-related mortality or carbon starvation due to tree species having different strategies to deal with water stresses. LPJ-GUESS-HYD (Hydraulic implementation of a new plant hydraulics scheme in LPJ-GUESS) was developed to i
Development organisations that work to transform gender relations and power structures are bound to face resistance to change (RTC). While overt forms of RTC are becoming increasingly prominent in the context of the rise of the transnational «anti-gender» movement. Thus, this thesis aims to understand how RTC can be addressed through a gender-transformative approach (GTA) by focusing on the case s
Oxygen concentrators are relatively small medical devices that concentrates oxygen from the ambient air next to the patient. They are widely used in low resource settings and in the home health care. For larger hospitals in Sweden and similar countries however, the most common oxygen source is liquid oxygen and oxygen cylinders, delivered from an off-site supplier. Liquid oxygen is often not an op
