Malignant melanoma is one of the most aggressive tumors which often gives metastasis to distant organs thereby limiting the chances of survival. Brain metastasis occurs in nearly half of the advanced tumors. In order to improve outcome early diagnosis is important. The discovery and better understanding of genetic and epigenetic changes is essential for developing new effective therapies, which ca
Laser spectroscopy of free atoms has been pursued for 25 years starting in the visible region and with a constant thrust towards shorter wavelengths. A review of generation schemes and atomic-physics experiments in the short-wavelength region is given. Processes in ions and inner shells occur on a very fast timescale setting special demands on the sources. Using picosecond laser technology efficie
This paper investigates a Swedish house manufactures building system regarding the documentation and information structures. The aim is to evaluate how product modeling technology can be used to facilitate product customization. By dividing the product in four different views the complexity of the product can be reduced and each view represent the interest of customer, engineering, production and
Nutrients and other bioactive constituents of foods may interact with each other and the surrounding food matrix in complex ways. Therefore, associations between single nutrients and chronic disease may be difficult to identify and interpret, but when dietary patterns (DPs) are examined the combination of many food factors will be considered. An explorative literature search of published review ar
Offentlig upphandling av innovativa varor, tjänster och byggentreprenader leder till bättre användning av offentliga medel, att lösningar på samhällsproblem kan utvecklas och ekonomisk tillväxt i stort genom att ge upphov till nya idéer och omsätta dem i innovativa varor och tjänster. Mot bakgrund härav införs i direktiv 2014/24/EU flera nyheter som syftar till att möjliggöra en strategisk användnPublic procurement of innovative goods, services and works leads to better use of public funds, that solutions to societal problems can be developed, and overall economic growth by generating new ideas and translating them into innovative products and services. Against this background, Directive 2014/24/EU introduces several novelties designed to allow for strategic use of public procurement to st
Chronological age is an important part of every person’s identity and in the Western communities it is given that everyone knows how old they are. However, it is not the case for people coming from certain countries in the Middle East where birth records do not exist and where it is highly unusual for someone to celebrate a birthday. Many unaccompanied children from, Middle East apply for asylum i
Denna undersökning är en fallstudie av hur nio elever i årskurs nio och deras lärare har arbetat med musikskapande. Momentet musikskapande förekommer ytterst sparsamt i musikundervisningen i svenska grundskolor, trots att det enligt kursplanen ska bedömas. Denna undersökning genomfördes på en skola där musikskapande utförs i stor omfattning, alltså en skola som sticker ut. Syftet var att undersökaThis is a case study of how nine ninth grade students and their music teacher have been working with composition. The element of composition is very uncommon in Swedish elementary schools, in spite of the fact that it should be a part of the assessment. This study is conducted in a school where they work extensivley with composition. The aim was to study the students and the teachers’ view on the
Gambro is one of the biggest developers and manufactures of machines for hemodialysis treatments in the world. One component on their machines, the air level detector (ALD), has been identified to have a possibility to be further improved from usability perspective. The ALD is located at the front of the machine and has the function to hold the venous drip chamber in place and detect whether or no
An environmentally hazardous activity, where surface water management exists, can be bound by Swedish law to apply for an environmental permit or has a duty to report its activity. In recent years, the environmental permitting regulations have undergone comprehensive changes where old practices and environmental quality standards are phased out and new ones introduced. In this study, a previously
Understanding how asset classes and systematic strategies behave and perform during different macroeconomic environments is essential for an efficient asset allocation process. The aim of this thesis is to find a method to systematize the current understanding of the relationship between asset performance and environments. We will present a way to define different macroeconomic environments, asses
The master’s thesis was performed in collaboration with the department responsible for the driver vehicle interaction at Scania CV AB. The interaction between the driver and the vehicle contributes to the usability and overall experience of the product as well as to safety. In order to create a good interaction it is important to evaluate it. The purpose of the thesis work was therefore to develop
När två parter formulerar ett avtal behandlas ett antal olika klausuler. I kommersiella avtal regleras ofta vilken tvistlösningsmetod som ska tillämpas på framtida tvister. Den dominerande metoden är skiljeförfarande. Skiljeförfarande är en typ av privat tvistelösningsform, där en skiljenämnd har behörighet att pröva tvistefrågor och meddela ett bindande dom. Skiljeklausulen anses vara ett självWhen two parties formulate a contract, several clauses are to be considered. In commercial agreements, a clause regulating which dispute resolution method should be applied on future conflicts is usually included. The dominating alternative dispute resolution is arbitration. Arbitration is a type of a private dispute resolution method, where an arbitration panel has the authority to try dispute qu
The purpose of this thesis is to construct a passive bistatic radar system using two USRP N200 software defined radios and two ordinary TV-antennas. Several auxiliary components were used in order to align and calibrate the devices including an octoclock CDA-2990, switch and signal generator. Several tests were made to verify that the sampling started simultaneously and that no significant phase s
This study investigates the development of a new method for the deposition of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) on substrates by aluminium combustion. Although, conventional coating techniques, such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) are well-established, they are often complex and high in energy use. The new method aims to exploit the simplicity and efficiency of alumini
A variety of excess material is produced in the processes used in the scrap-metal based steel industry. The largest stream of material, by volume, is steel slag. Since slag material has very different properties and wide differences in its chemical composition its usage can be found in different sectors. The increased understanding of slag and its properties has made companies less prone to divert
