Att man kan använda röntgenstrålning för att ta bilder på kroppens inre har varit känt sedan sent 1800-tal och idag finns det en mängd olika röntgenapparater. En sådan är datortomografen, computed tomography (CT) på engelska. Med datortomografi är det möjligt att avbilda patienten i tre dimensioner, istället för vid slätröntgen där man endast får ut en tvådimensionell bild. Detta möjliggör en bättPurpose/Background Dual Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) have been clinically available for over ten years. Two such systems are currently used at Skane University Hospital (SUS) in Lund. By utilizing materials different attenuating properties at different energies, material decomposition and iodine quantification is possible. The aim of this master thesis was to compare the two DECT systems and

Små molekyler med stor inverkan - interferon alfas roll i Systemisk Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Systemisk Lupus Erythematosus är en autoimmun sjukdom där immunförsvaret attackerar kroppens egna vävnader. Detta leder till en kronisk inflammation som kan yttra sig i en rad olika manifestationer beroende på var inflammationen sker. Sjukdomsaktiviteten går i perioder, dvs att den går upp i skov där patSystemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system is attacking the body and its tissues. This leads to a chronic inflammation that can affect different parts of the body and therefore present itself in a vast variety of symptoms. Depending on the activity of the disease it can go up in flares where the patients experience symptoms and then go down into recession.

Gender diversity has gained a lot of attention in the corporate governance literature, reaching conflicting results whether board gender diversity has an impact on financial performance. As a consequence, we set out to investigate how board gender diversity affects financial performance through innovation using a mediation technique. We constructed three hypotheses grounded in the resource depende

As a result of the current climate crisis, which reflects people's unsustainable consumer behaviour, there is an increased need for companies to apply sustainability strategies. One of the responses to the crisis is the increasing number of packaging-free grocery stores that have opened across Europe. These new stores have the intent of reducing waste by using, for instance, Circular Economy s

The Maha Oya river mouth, located on the west coast of Sri Lanka, is seasonally closed by a sand bar formed at the river mouth due to little rainfall and thus little river discharge. A new Outlet, located just north of the Maha Oya river mouth, was created by the 2004 tsunami. The Outlet remains open all year because of its location in the lee of an offshore breakwater. When the Maha Oya river mou

Vad är det som gör att man begår ett brott? Vad är det för slags person som begår ett brott? Kriminella personer har alltid varit ett intresse för forskning och allmänheten. Det finns förutfattade meningar om hur en kriminell person ser ut eller beter sig. Samtidigt finns det en lika tydlig bild av hur en kvinna eller man ska se ut eller bete sig. En kriminell kvinna går emot alla förväntningar meWhat does it take for a person to commit a crime? What kind of person commits a crime? Offenders have always been interesting for both research and the society. There is a preconceived notion on how an offender should look or act like. At the same time, being a woman or a man comes with equal preconceptions. However, a female offender goes against all expectations of how an offender should act and

Laktos – astmamedicinens bästa vän? Att leverera medicin till lungan är en krånglig process då en stor del av den verksamma substansen riskerar att fastna i svalget. Ny forskning har dock gett bredare förståelse för hur små partiklar av laktos kan användas till att öka effektiviteten hos inhalerbara läkemedel. Vid behandling av sjukdomar som drabbar luftvägarna, så som astma, finns det olika sätA common approach to treat respiratory diseases is with adhesive powder mixtures. These are dispersed into an aerosol upon inhalation. It has been found that the performance of such mixtures can be improved by adding fine particle lactose, but exactly why is yet to be established. Several theories have been proposed by previous studies, but the fundamental mechanism is still unknown. This study w

This thesis is to go head to head with metaphor theory and to humbly try to wrestle from the enormous structure of facts and hypotheses that such theories form collectively, one theory that might favorably be used to study another interesting phenomenon. This phenomenon is the variety of metaphor that is encouraging of synaesthesia, called simply synaesthetic metaphor. For the first part of this t

Klimatförändringar är en av vår tids stora utmaningar. För att kunna möta dessa finns det ett brådskande behov av att minska vart stora beroende av fossila bränslen. En lovande råvara för produktion av förnyelsebara och koldioxidneutrala bränslen är bioolja. Bioolja kan användas som ett substitut för råolja i raffinaderier och produceras från biomassa, vilket innebär att den kan agera som ett förnTo be able to face the challenges brought on by climate change there is an urgent need to reduce the heavy dependence on fossil fuels. Bio-oil is one such renewable and carbon-neutral replacement that has shown promising potential. A key step in making bio-oil commercially feasible is improvements of the upgrading processes of the bio-oil. One such upgrading process is catalytic hydrodeoxygenation

Food scarcity is a common occurrence for farmers in the rural Himalayan regions. As fruits and vegetables are a crucial part of most farmers' diet, food deficiency can become evident in between harvesting periods, when there is no fresh supply. A lack of proper storage facilities and preservation methods further amplify this as the commodities that are stored can start to rot. The farmers do t

Elbehovet ökar och landbaserad solkraft lyfts fram som en lösning för att snabbt möta elektrifieringen, men när solparker planeras på jordbruksmark väcks debatten: mat eller el? En möjlig väg framåt är att upprätta solparker på lågproduktiv jordbruksmark och förvalta den som gräsmark för att främja kolinlagring. I den planerade solparken Kogshult, i Sjöbo kommun, undersöker denna studie solsambrukAs pressure on land-use increase due to climate change and a transition to fossil-free energy sources, there is a growing interest in the potential to combine agricultural activities with ground-mounted solar energy parks. While claiming agricultural land for energy production sparks a lot of debate, a potential compromise may lie in utilizing depleted agricultural land for solar farms, purposely

I övergången till en cirkulär ekonomi använder industrier i allt högre grad återvunnet material för att minska klimatpåverkan från sina produkter. Den ökade efterfrågan på återvunnet material drivs av både EU-direktiv och konsumenters preferenser. Både flask- och polyesterfiberindustrin ser potential i att möta EU:s krav och konsumenters efterfrågan genom att ersätta jungfruligt material med återvIn the transition towards a circular economy, industries are increasingly adopting recycled materials to decrease the climate impact of their products, driven by both regulatory requirements and consumer demand. The bottle and polyester fiber industries both recognize the potential to comply with EU policies and consumer preferences by replacing virgin material with recycled PET. Due to its desira
