Today, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death in women. Early detection of breast cancer relapse presents increased treatment options and better control. Protein biomarkers from plasma are currently measured by state-of-the-art methods like ELISA, which require antibodies with high sensitivity and specificity. Developing such assays is laborious and time consuming. Thus, there
A global surge in the number of regional trade agreements has taken place since the 1990s. Their impact on the trade patterns and development of participating countries has been a frequent topic of debate. In this study I analyse the impact of joining a regional trade on the trade patterns of African countries. I find that on average regional trade agreements increase the intra-regional exports be
This thesis studies the relationship between urbanization and income inequality in China in the period 2001 to 2012. To analyze this question, firstly, it studies the urbanization development by looking of the urbanization ratio, growth rate of urban population and the share of agriculture in GDP. Secondly, it conducts the Gini coefficient of urban and rural sector respectively based on the data p
There is a heated debate going on concerning the use of migration detention in Europe. In the wake of the increased number of migrants trying to enter or having become irregular while residing in Europe, states seem to rely on the practice of migration detention in such a degree, that it has become an integral part of their national and European Union policies. This happens, despite the fact that
The Narrative Clip is a small wearable camera that takes an image every 30 seconds. By wearing the clip a whole day a user captures a long image sequence of the day's events. In this thesis we will segment such a sequence into the individual events automatically. Multiple sequences are segmented by humans in order to nd a groundtruth for each sequence. The groundtruth will be used to determine
This paper studies volatility prediction on OMX Stockholm 30, OMX Helsinki 25 and OMX Nordic 40. The models used are a historical variance model, an exponentially weighted moving average model and three models from the GARCH family. These are GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR(1,1), with normal and t-distribution respectively. The volatility for 2008-2013 is forecasted with a rolling window technique

This paper aims to investigate infrastructure’s ability to affect integration in socio-economically vulnerable areas. The paper focuses on Rosengard train station and uses it as a case study to concretize the link between infrastructure and integration. To give further understanding of the subject, earlier studies of infrastructure challenges and integration are examined. Don Mitchell’s new axioms
Computed Tomography (CT) is the most common diagnostic method for cancer and prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in Sweden. Some of the patients that get scanned have hip replacements that cause artifacts in CT scans that make the CT images unreadable for physicians. In this Master’s Thesis an autoencoder model was implemented to reduce artifacts due to hip replacements in CT image
The demand for high data rates in a wireless communication system has experienced a remarkable growth over the last years. This demand is continually increasing with the growing number of wirelessly connected devices. Thus, there is a continuing hunt for increasing the data transmission rate in wireless communication systems. To increase the data rate, the modern wireless communication system cann
Membrane filtration technique shows exclusively properties for optimized filtration for a given size, from micrometer to nanometer scales compared to other industrial filtration. However, there is a trade off in flux that has delayed the implementation of the membrane techniques for a wider range of applications. For a specific flow in a process stream, the limited flux through the membrane means
We explore in detail the physics potential of a measurement of the t invariant mass distribution. First, we assess the accuracy of the best available predictions for this observable and find that in the low invariant mass region, the shape is very well predicted and could be used to perform a top mass measurement. Second, we study the effects of a heavy s-channel resonance on the t invariant mass
Bioelectronics can potentially complement classical therapies in nonchronic treatments, such as immunotherapy and cancer. In addition to functionality, minimally invasive implantation methods and bioresorbable materials are central to nonchronic treatments. The latter avoids the need for surgical removal after disease relief. Self-organizing substrate-free organic electrodes meet these criteria an
Two electrotechnologies: pulsed electric fields (PEF) and moderate electric field (MEF) in combination with vacuum impregnation of glycerol as cryoprotectant were used to increase the freezing tolerance of rocket leaves. Rocket leaves were treated with PEF using a nominal field strength of 1200 V/cm or MEF at different combinations of voltage and frequency. Leaves were then immersed in a glycerol
