Background and Aim: Artificial intelligence (AI) in mammography screening can aid cancer detection. Commercially available AI systems can assign region and exam scores based on malignancy suspicion. Despite promising suggestions, clinical implementation is limited- partly due to a lack of trust among radiologist and prospective evaluation. Inevitably, this leads to the question of how an AI system
In the coming decades, the twin energy and digital transitions will require the rapid scaling and deployment of renewable energy technologies and advanced technologies within ‘critical raw materials’ (CRMs) are essential components. At the same time, as CRM reserves are heterogeneously distributed, concentrated in a few countries with refining in even fewer still, demand is expected to outstrip su
En viktig typ av bevisning i brottmål utgörs av de förhör som hålls med olika personer vid huvudförhandlingen. Personer som inte är parter i målet hörs som vittnen. En lagstiftning som behandlar bevis i form av vittnen kan inte undgå att beakta värdet av att detta bevis är oerhört växlande. Detta med hänsyn till den större eller mindre förmågan hos ett vittne att vilja avge en sann och fullständigAn important type of evidence in criminal cases consists of the interrogations held with different people at a main hearing. People who are not parties to the case are heard as witnesses. Legislation dealing with evidence in the form of witnesses cannot fail to take into account that these evidence are extremely variable. This with regard to the greater or lesser ability of a witness to give a tru
The exhaustion doctrine (also known in some jurisdictions as the ''first sale doctrine See U.S. Copyright Code Section 109(a)'') is one of the basic rules of intellectual property (IP) system, and is applied to many IP rights, from copyright to trademark. The term ''exhaustion'' or ''first sale'' describes the concept of this rule, where, after the &
En mycket vanlig behandlingsteknik vid cancer är strålbehandling. Tekniken har utvecklats snabbt de senaste åren och idag uppnås millimeterprecision för många behandlingsområden. Därmed har behovet av att kunna kompensera för rörelser under behandlingen ökat. I detta arbete undersöktes möjligheten att låta strålgången följa tumören med en teknik som kallas MLC-tracking. Strålbehandling började a"Purpose: To investigate the geometric accuracy of MLC-tracking using a circular field, and to investigate the dosimetric accuracy for inversely optimized arc delivery to a moving target. This is done for two different MLCs and for varying plan complexity. Materials and methods: For investigating the geometric accuracy, a marker was placed on a motion platform while the MLC set to shape a ci
In order to examine contemporary Russian cinema, this thesis has two points of departure: firstly the Petersburg myth, which is here defined as reversible or ambiguous since it includes both an eschatological and a cosmogonic aspect; and secondly, the Petersburg literary text as defined in works by Vladimir Toporov. During the twentieth century, the vitality and actuality of the Petersburg myth wa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Elektromagnetiska fält finns idag överallt och är en förutsättning för att det moderna samhället ska fungera. Utan att fundera närmare på det, använder vi oss ständigt av de elektromagnetiska fältens förmåga att trådlöst överföra information och energi. Några exempel är; uppvärmning av mat i mikron och på induktionshällen, samtal i mobiltelefonen, uppdatering av status In this thesis, an inverse source reconstruction method with great potential in radome diagnostics is presented. A radome is a cover that encloses an antenna in order to protect it from environmental influences. Radome diagnostics are acquired in the design process, the delivery control, and in performance verification of repaired and newly developed radomes. A measured near or far field may indic
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det jordmagnetiska fältet kan till stor del (80-90%) beskrivas av ett dipolfält, producerat av en magnet i mitten av jorden med en lutning på 11° från rotationsaxeln. Magnetfältet genereras av konvektionsströmmar i den flytande järnrika yttre delen av kärnan i form av en jättelik dynamo, och tros ha varit aktivt sedan kärnan bildades för ungefär 4.5 miljarder år sedan. Palaeomagnetic studies of continuous geological archives and archaeological artefacts are required to reconstruct geomagnetic field changes beyond the range of historical observations. In this thesis I assess the reliability of sedimentary palaeomagnetic data and Holocene dipole field reconstructions. New palaeomagnetic records are presented from a maar crater lake in New Zealand and a post-glacia
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bruket av slåtterängar som fodermarker har mycket gamla anor i Sverige. Slåtterängar karaktäriseras av att huvuddelen av de arter som växer här har inhemskt ursprung. De uppkom när människorna blev bofasta och klimatet så kallt att kreaturen behövde stallas under vintern (tidig Järnålder) och man därmed behövde vinterfoder till djuren. Idag är ängen en hotad biotop efteThe objectives of this thesis were to: 1) survey the vegetation in semi-natural meadows in south-central Sweden, 2) discern meadow vegetation changes in eight semi-permanent plots between studies performed in the 1960s and in 1990, 3) experimentally investigate the effects of variations in management intensity in one dry and one mesic meadow, 4) experimentally investigate the effects of different
Popular Abstract in English Plants harvest sunlight to fix air carbon dioxide into a form which is the fundamental source of energy for other organisms such as animals. The domestication of crop plants and traditional breeding practices has resulted in increased yield and nutritional value of crops. This comes at a cost of loss in genetic variability that is required by living organisms to adapt tPotato is one of the major food crops and its yield is severely affected by late blight disease caused by Phytophthora infestans. P. infestans has the ability to manipulate plant defence signalling by secreting effector molecules causing so called effector triggered susceptibility. Some plants can recognize these effectors via resistance proteins that reactivate plant defence and lead to effector
Popular Abstract in Swedish Enchytraeider och naidider, och deras reaktioner på miljöbetingad stress. Syftet med denna avhandling var att studera naidider och enchytraeider. Tonvikten är lagd på deras fortplantningsbeteende och hur de påverkas av miljöbetingad stress. Maskarna utsattes för stress i form av varierande kvalitet på födan, torka, och giftiga ämnen. Enchytraeider och naidider är bådaMy thesis shows that enchytraeids and naidids are sensitive to various forms of environmental stress, which in combination with the wide distribution of both families make them highly suitable for use in risk assessment and soil monitoring. Enchytraeids were subject to chemical stress under both laboratory and field conditions. In laboratory experiments enchytraeids reacted to chemical stress with
The extracellular matrix plays an integral role in tissue remodeling and development and it defines the different mechanical properties of a variety of connective tissues. Its complexity in composition and the details in organization has only been partly elucidated. This thesis focuses on collagen VI and the mutual interactions of a number of matrix proteins that lie within close proximity. Collag
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodflödet i ett kärl påverkas inte bara av eventuella förträngningar i kärlet utan även av hur visköst, d v s hur trögflytande, blodet är. Ett alldagligt exempel på detta är att det är svårare att klämma sirap, som är en högviskös vätska, ur en flaska än att hälla vatten ur samma flaska. Blodet har dessutom egenskapen att vara skjuvförtunnande (tixotropt), d v s viskosThis thesis deals with the haemorheological aspects of cardiovascular diseases. The resistance of blood to flow is determined by the rheological properties of blood as well as by organic stenoses and regulatory tonus changes in the vessels. Three idiopathic cardiovascular diseases with a reduced ability to increase blood flow in response to demand were studied. Blood rheology was impaired in a wa
Introduction The hotel check-in is usually treated as a facilitating service as it is often assumed only to facilitate the use of the core service i.e. the lodging. In addition the check-in is a highly standardized process, which is repeatedly performed every day. Being only one part of the front office’s duties executed at the reception desk, it is usually given scant attention from management. L
Popular Abstract in Swedish Övervikt är ett av vår tids största hälsoproblem, kanske till och med det största. Det finns de som menar att redan idag utgör övervikt globalt sett en viktigare orsak till sjukdom än undernäring och infektionssjukdomar. Framtidsscenariot beskrivs som alarmerande. Folk kommer att i en tidigare aldrig skådad omfattning insjukna i överviktens följdsjukdomar. Medierna harThe prevalence of overweight and obesity is rising each year not only on a national but also on a global level. The future scenario is troublesome. The media are among the most important social institutions in influencing people’s knowledge, perceptions and actions. The media provide citizens with health messages and contribute thereby to their health development. This dissertation deals with two
Popular Abstract in Swedish Antonymer är motsatsord, t.ex. stor-liten, kort-lång, och varm-kall. Den här avhandlingen handlar om antonymer och om vilken typ av lexikal information som man kan lagra i ett elektroniskt lexikon (Svenskt Ordnät) samt hur man kan få fram lexikal information ur stora textmassor med datorns hjälp. Baserat på hur vanliga ord är kan man beräkna hur ofta man kan förvänta siHow are antonym relations acquired? What types of lexical information can be extracted from corpora and how? How can this information be encoded in a lexicon? The work in this book was developed within the framework of WordNet. A further elaborated lexical model is suggested, as well as methods for implementing it. The first part of the book is a study of adjectives co-occurring with adjectives. E
Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a highly sensitive technique for counting atoms. Its main advantage in comparison with radiometric methods is the smaller amount of sample required (by a factor of a thousand). The method has a high efficiency and requires only some ten mg of sample material. The radioisotope 59Ni is of great importance in nuclear waste management in the nuclear industry. Thi
Thesis purpose: With this study we aim to understand how the interrelationship of DMOs and consumers working as myth makers, create the overall image of a destination with social problems where especially negative imagery is avoided by DMOs. Methodology: In order to understand the dialectical image creation process of destinations with social problems a grounded theory approach, which is character
The digitalization of the music industry has meant a drastic increase of public accessibility of recorded music, which has transformed the way in which music is being consumed. From initially being restricted by the physical disposition of CDs and vinyl, the prospect of digital downloading and music streaming has rapidly transformed the music landscape as the world knows it. The music industry rev
