Purpose: Yttrium-90 (Y-90) is one of the most commonly used radionuclides in targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT). Since it decays with essentially no gamma photon emissions, surrogate radionuclides (e.g., In-111) or imaging agents (e.g., Tc-99m MAA) are typically used for treatment planning. It would, however, be useful to image Y-90 directly in order to confirm that the distributions measured wit
Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2012/13/EU om rätten till information vid straffrättsliga förfaranden utgör en del i en färdplan inom EU att förstärka rättighetsskyddet för misstänkta personer i brottmålsförfaranden. Artikel 7.1 i direktivet införlivades med svensk rätt den 1 juni 2014 genom införandet av 24 kap. 9 a § rättegångsbalken. Enligt artikel 7.1 i direktivet ska den som frihetsberDirective 2012/13/EU on the right to information in criminal proceedings (the Directive) is part of a road map within EU to strengthen the protection of rights of suspects in criminal proceedings. Article 7.1 of the Directive was implemented in Swedish procedural legislation on June 1st 2014 through a new statutory provision in the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure, 24 kap. 9 a §. According to Ar
The discovery that the CRISPR/Cas9 system could be used for genome editing purposes represented a major breakthrough in the field. This advancement has notably facilitated the introduction or correction of disease-specific mutations in healthy or disease stem cell lines respectively; therefore, easing disease modeling studies in combination with differentiation protocols. For many years, variabili
In efforts to find synergies or trade-offs between the environmental and social pillars of policies aimed at sustainable development, a key set of issues are often discussed in terms of geographical scale. The aim of this paper is to critically examine the framings of social and environmental sustainability challenges as scale-related (such as local - global or North-South) involved in processes i
This thesis aims to test firm specific factors that determine the capital structure of companies on the Stockholm stock exchange. The results will be compared with the results of earlier studies from USA and Switzerland. Furthermore, we will conclude if these firm specific factors have changed over time. The theories explained and used in this thesis are the Modigliani Miller model, Trade-Off theo
Within the broader literature on civil society organisations (CSOs) there are a number of discussions and debates concerning how to disentangle, dimensionalise, and evaluate the complex concept of legitimacy. Scholars have presented different “dimensions”, “components”, and “types” of legitimacy, as well as suggestions for how to evaluate legitimacy based on the “roles” a CSO should play within a
Fluids of spherical colloids possessing an off-centered embedded magnetic dipole were investigated by using Monte Carlo simulations. Systems of colloids with different strengths and directions of the embedded dipole moment confined in a 2D space without and with an external magnetic field applied were considered. The fluids were characterized by radial distribution functions, angular distribution
This paper will address the effects of mixing low-calorific fuel in to a natural gas fuelled large size combined cycle plant. Three different biofuels are tested namely; air blown gasification gas, indirect gasification gas and digestion gas. Simulations have been performed from 0-100% biofuel natural gas mixtures. The biofuel impacts on the full cycle performance are discussed. Some more in-depth
‘American exceptionalism’ is a concept that has frequently been referenced in presidential rhetoric over the years. The concept entails the distinct belief that the United States is unique, if not superior, when compared to other nations. As a result of their exceptional history and culture the U.S. have a distinct, arguably God given, destiny to fulfil in the world. The underlying aim of this pap
Software product line engineering is an approach to cost-efficiently derive tailored products to markets and customers, utilizing common components and services in a planned manner. Product lines have been applied to other engineering fields for decades, while being quite recently introduced in software engineering. For software product lines, productivity gains are mostly related to the developme
In order to better understand and predict the dynamics of benthic macroinvertebrate communities, we need to first define the functional components of benthic biodiversity and then provide a mechanistic description of how they interact with their abiotic environment, their basic resources and each other. These interactions should be largely controlled by readily available biological traits, making
Wastewater treatment processes are inherently dynamic because of variations in the influent flow rate, concentration, and composition. The adaptive behaviour of the microorganisms further emphasizes this fact. Mathematical models and computer simulations are essential to describe, predict, and control the complicated interactions of the processes. Any attempt to model all details of the various re
I detta arbete jämförs det svenska diskrimineringsskyddet i arbetslivet med rättigheterna i FN:s konvention om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning CRPD. Särskilt behandlas bestämmelsen om bristande tillgänglighet. Syftet är att ge personer med funktionshinder ett effektivt medel till att uppnå lika rättigheter och möjligheter i samhället. I den svenska rättsordningen är funktionshindIn this paper the Swedish discrimination legislation in the working life will be compared to the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities CRPD. With special attention to the prohibition off inadequate accessibility. The rule inadequate accessibility has the purpose to give people with disabilities access to society in equal basis to other people. In Swedish law disability is a medi
The rapidly increasing use of AI-chatbots creates ever evolving questions of privacy concerns in end users where they have to evaluate where the line is drawn between personalization and privacy intrusion. The conducted literature review highlights the complex landscape of privacy theories, privacy concerns and human-AI interactions. Using this as a guide, a qualitative study has been conducted on
More than 17.9 million new patients worldwide suffer from heart diseases. In order to conduct a proper diagnosis and treatment, it is necessary to develop a functionality for patients and doctors, which has the possibility to transfer the continuously measured data to the doctor for several days. In addition, such a tool should have the function to wirelessly transmit an alarm to the doctors, prov
Background: Measuring multiple and higher-order interaction effects between multiple categorical variables proves challenging. Objectives: To illustrate a multilevel modelling approach to studying complex interactions. Methods: We apply a two-level random-intercept linear regression to a binary outcome for individuals (level-1) nested within strata (level-2) defined by all observed combinations of
Hur mäter man hur produkter och råvaror som utvinns på vitt skilda platser runt om i världen påverkar den biologiska mångfalden? Forskaren Carla Coelho från Miljö-och geovetenskapliga institutionen (MGeo) har tillsammans med sina kollegor utvecklat en ny metod för att uppskatta gruvors och stenbrotts påverkan – och i vilken utsträckning de faktiskt skadar livsmiljöerna i omgivningen.
