Magnetresonans, förkortat MR, är ett fysikaliskt fenomen som tillämpas inom medicinsk diagnostik för bildtagning. Med hjälp av mycket starka magnetfält kan bilder erhållas, exempelvis på hjärnan, utan att joniserande strålning används. Förutom bilder kan MR-bildtagning även användas för att avbilda perfusion (kapillärblodflöde) och vattendiffusion i hjärnan. Ytterligare ett användningsområde är av
This examination work is the final work in our education to become a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering by the University of Lund. The main purpose with this work has been to develop a new effective material handling system for TPPM AB in Lund since the existing system starts to become out of date. The future system that is going to be installed shall have the capacity to support all
Titel- Sex and the city för män? ?En kvalitativ studie om manligheter i förändring Författare- Malvina Britts Avdelning- Avdelningen för Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap Problem: Området som min studie rör sig inom är representationen av maskulinitet. Förändringar i representationen av maskulinitet diskuteras i olika sammanhang och en specifik drama/komediserie, Entourage, har på sistone utmä

The frequent replacement of office furniture contributes to the increasing production of solid waste that leads to the use of more landfill space. Germany only produces approximately 700000 t of office furniture waste per year whereas most of this waste goes to landfill or incin-eration (Nolte, 2001). In addition, there are concerns about the use of hazardous chemicals in office furniture producti
Presentation of problem: The movement of sediment parallel to the coast by waves and currents is known as longshore sediment transport or littoral transport. Throughout the years, researchers have found that knowledge of longshore sediment transport is important in connection with coastal engineering design, such as construction of breakwaters at harbour entrances, dredging of navigation channels,
The present study investigated the effects of three factors on the level of realism in frequency judgements. These factors were: Instruction (No correction for guessing/Correction for guessing), Format (whether the frequency judgements were made in terms of absolute numbers or in percent) and Difficulty level (easy/hard set of questions). All three factors were found to have a significant effect o
Parallel trade in goods is generally viewed as a positive phenomenon within the EU as a consequence of the principle free movement of goods: When traders buy goods in one part of the common market at a low price and transfer it to a higher priced area, allowing them to undercut those prices, then this will enhance competition, drive down prices and give consumers more choice- an overall positive e
The present research is aimed at analyzing spirituality according to the way it is presented in academic management literature. To uncover comprehensively way this phenomenon is described, a thorough scientific analysis of the selected articles was performed including coding the materials, systematically categorizing them as well as critically investigating particular aspects. While conducting the
This Master Thesis contains the first stages of the development process of a system to study human gait presenting a final concepts. Moreover, the Master Thesis covers the vibration analysis of a real prototype based on the concepts presented. For the development of this project, there were almost no restrictions or guidelines. Hence, it was necessary a previous process of investigation and re
Digital educational games have been around for a long time and have shown to be pedagogically valuable. Unfortunately most games do not utilize technology to the extent that is possible. Not the least this applies to mathematical educational games for younger children. This work aims to combine several educational scientific approaches using current technologies, which traditionally had been very
With innovation taking centre stage in the global quest for economic development in recent years, Sweden’s southernmost county of Skåne has set out to become Europe’s most innovative region by 2020. Supporting and developing youth’s innovative capacity is viewed as one of the several ways to achieve this goal. This thesis looks at the relationship between youth innovation and spaces where it is en
Roten till cancer? Cancer är en ledande orsak till en stor mängd dödsfall i världen och därför en fruktad sjukdom. Forskningen gör dock framsteg och man kommer allt närmre svaren på gåtorna. På senare år har det föreslagits att en speciell typ av celler, cancerstamceller, är drivande och ligger bakom flera av cancersjukdomarnas egenskaper. Alla organismer är uppbyggda av celler, den stora majoriIn recent years increasing evidence supporting the stem cell hypothesis have emerged and cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been reported to have been isolated in a wide variety of cancers. This CSC population has been attributed to contribute to the therapeutic resistance of many cancers and it is thus of great interest to find new therapeutic options targeting these cells. In ileal carcinoids however
Ammonia (NH3) is an important chemical both as a chemical precursor and in its own right. It is therefore of practical importance to be able to visualize ammonia gas especially when ammonia is present in combustion or flue-gas environments. This thesis is focused on the use of laser-induced fluorescence with the stated aim of imaging ammonia in low concentrations, with the end-goal of applying the
This study assesses the impacts of the floods in early 2011 in the Northern Cape Province in South Africa and focuses especially on the small town Keimoes located on the major Orange River. During this period 33 municipalities in 7 out of the country’s 8 provinces were declared as disaster areas due to widespread flooding. In Keimoes and the Northern Cape Province the flood impacts were widespread
