The present work explores challenges when assessing organ dose and effective dose concerning image-guided treatments. During these treatments considerable x-ray imaging is employed using technically advanced angiographic x-ray equipment. Thus, the radiation dose to organs and the related radiation risk are relatively difficult to assess. This has implications on the optimisation process, in which

Most proteins have evolved to function optimally in aqueous environments, and the interactions between protein and water therefore play a fundamental role in the stability, dynamics, and function of proteins. Although we understand many details of water, we understand much less about the protein-water interface. In this thesis we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to cast light on many struct

Estimation of kidney function is often part of daily clinical practice, mostly done by using the endogenous GFR-markers creatinine or cystatin C. A recommendation to use both markers in parallel in 2010 has resulted in new knowledge concerning the pathophysiology of kidney disorders by identification of a new set of kidney disorders, selective glomerular hypofiltration syndromes. These syndromes,

I denna studie görs en livscykelanalys på en solfångare som Kristianstads Industri Service AB (KISAB) utvecklar. Även en mindre jämförelse görs med en solfångarstudie från Battisti, R (2005). KISAB:s solfångare har inga absorbatorflänsar utan den fungerar liknande en integrerad vattentank men med väldigt lite medium i den. KISAB:s solfångare består till 80 % av aluminium eftersom både absorbatorn This paper reports the result of a life-cycle analysis done on a solar thermal collector in Sweden. Kristianstad Industri Service AB (KISAB) is developing a solar thermal collector with a framework and absorbing plate made out of aluminium and no flow tubes. The aluminium is instead hollow and the whole area of the absorbing plate is therefore in contact with the coolant. The solar thermal collect

Tetra Pak Packaging Material AB (TPPM) is the division within the Tetra Pak concern that produces the packaging material that later on will be used for liquid products. There are 63 TPPM plants in the world, and the factory in Lund is one of the largest with its 325 employees. It is also the TPPM factory that manufactures the most varied set of packages. There are nine producing machines, divi

Sealings are an important part in the industrial robot. One important property of the seal is to keep all particles and fluids from the outside, away from the important components inside the robot. Another important property is to keep the oil and grease inside the robot, and prevent leakage. The seal also prevent leakage inside the industrial robot and reduces the risks of sensitive components to

Background: Family risks for urinary tract cancers (excluding kidney cancers) are known, but less is known about whether rare urinary tract cancer subtypes are also familial and if urinary tract cancers share familial risk for other (discordant) cancers. Objective: To investigate the impact of family history on urinary tract cancers (International Classification of Diseases version 7 code 181) and

Ion beam analysis techniques are now well established as research tools for a broad range of multidisciplinary scientific fields. The ability to focus an ion beam down to micrometer size has expanded and strengthened the capability of IBA techniques to a higher level. A new field “Nuclear microprobe (NMP) analysis” has been developed over the past decades, in which most IBA techniques are used and

Context. We describe the atomic and molecular data that were used for the abundance analyses of FGK-type stars carried out within the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey in the years 2012 to 2019. The Gaia-ESO Survey is one among several current and future stellar spectroscopic surveys producing abundances for Milky-Way stars on an industrial scale. Aims. We present an unprecedented effort to cre

Sociologisk forskning beskriver samtiden som ett senmodernt samhällstillstånd, som kännetecknas av snabb förändring, individualisering, globalisering och osäkerhet inför framtiden. Ett av rättens syften är att påverka människors beteenden, vilket kanske tydligast manifesteras genom straffrätten. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur straffrättens mål att påverka normer och styra beteenden tar form i Sociological research describes contemporary society as a condition of late modernity, characterized by rapid change, individualisation, globalisation, and uncertainty about the future. One of the purposes of law is to influence human behaviour, insofar as this is possible. A function that is perhaps most evidently manifested through criminal law. This thesis examines how criminal law’s aim to sha

I samband med metoo-rörelsen dömdes ett flertal kvinnor för förtal efter att ha pekat ut sin påstådda förövare av sexuella trakasserier och övergrepp på olika medieplattforma. Gemensamt i många av målen var att sanningshalten i kvinnornas uttalanden aldrig blev föremål för prövning. Bristen på sanningsprövning i målen väckte i sin tur debatt där kritik riktades mot förtalsbestämmelsen – är den en In connection with the #MeToo movement, several women were convicted of defamation after having publicly identified their alleged perpetrators of sexual harassment and assault. A common factor in many of these cases was that the truthfulness of the women’s statements was never subjected to judicial review by the courts. The absence of truth assessment in the cases has since sparked debate with cri

This paper summarized the efforts performed to understand decay heat estimation from existing spent nuclear fuel (SNF), under the auspices of the Working Party on Nuclear Criticality Safety (WPNCS) of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency. Needs for precise estimations are related to safety, cost, and optimization of SNF handling, storage, and repository. The physical origins of decay heat (a more correc

Well before large-scale quantum computers will be available, traditional cryptosystems must be transitioned to post-quantum (PQ) secure schemes. The NIST PQC competition aims to standardize suitable cryptographic schemes. Candidates are evaluated not only on their formal security strengths, but are also judged based on the security with regard to resistance against side-channel attacks. Although r

Här behandlas Sveriges förbindelser med andra politisk-territoriella enheter, frånmedeltidens dynastiska unioner över de tidigmoderna konglomeratstaterna till1800-talets union av två nationalstater. Med hjälp av befintlig forskning fokuserasstatens växlande sammansättning och vikten av att skilja mellan riket och staten.Ett sådant perspektiv visar nya aspekter och ställer frågor som ett traditioneDuring most of the period from 1319 to 1905, the kingdom of Sweden formed part of a larger state, either through union with other states or through the possession of provinces that were not part of the kingdom proper. This is a neglected theme in Swedish historiography, where Sweden is described as a trans-historical entity, sometimes larger and sometimes smaller than the present state but still b

Context. The rapid neutron-capture process, which created about half of the heaviest elements in the solar system, is believed to have been unique. Many recent studies have shown that this uniqueness is not true for the formation of lighter elements, in particular those in the atomic number range 38 < Z < 48. Among these, palladium (Pd) and especially silver (Ag) are expected to be key indicators
