Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition especially for people with diabetes, obesity or women who are pregnant. Diagnosing CTS has primarily been performed using electroneuronography. In this thesis the aim was to use an advanced method of tractography to measure and evaluate diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters between anatomical landmarks at the distal radioulnar jo
Within the field of medical radiation protection, radiation safety and personal dosimetry, there is a constant pursuit for improving existing methods and evaluating new approaches for measuring and quantifying the radiation doses that hospital staff may be exposed to in their clinical work. There are numerous ways of determining what doses the staff are being exposed to and the most commonly used
BACKGROUND: Radioiodine (131I) has been used in thyroid cancer treatments for many years, and has demonstrated good results with regards to disease management. Radioiodine therapy is however partially empirical, as not very much is known concerning radiation dosimetry. At Skåne University Hospital, the number of treatments has been growing steadily over the past couple of years, resulting in an in
Private public partnerships (PPPs) are used routinely in a variety of sectors, such as health care, waste management, and infrastructure development. Only recently, as climate mitigation and adaptation rapidly rise in importance on urban agendas however, have PPPs begun to be considered within a climate context. This thesis investigates the significant, yet thus far mostly unexplored potential for
A low success rate of drug candidates in clinical trials, and especially in brain research, motivates development of better screening models. Hence, in neuroscience and many other fields of Life Science, development of more physiological relevant experimental cell-based models is motivated. It’s believed that more in vivo-like models will give a better outcome in drug discovery- and development. H
This thesis paper aims to investigate how digital retail might affect our cities (in particular in Sweden). It will be asked if an advancement of e-commerce, contrary to popular belief, can have a positive effect on the urban realm and subsequently how it can be facilitated in the fields of architecture and urban design. The paper aims to present an exposé of Swedish retail from the modern past u
Föreliggande arbete grundar sig i vår ambition att göra ett trumläromedel som befinner sig i nutiden samtidigt som det ska vara anpassningsbart även till framtiden. I samband med studien har detta trumläromedel skapats i konceptform. Det framtagna konceptet omfattar, men är inte begränsat till; digitalisering, ett tydligt syfte, sammanhang, fokus på kreativitet och tydlig progression. FrågeställniThis study is based on our ambition to make a drum teaching material that is contemporary, whilst also adaptable to the future. In connection with the study, this drum teaching material has been created in concept form. The concept developed includes, but is not limited to; digitization, a clear purpose, context, focus on creativity and clear progression. This study´s issues can be summarized to;
Syftet med vår studie är att undersöka hur den service ordningsvakter ska leverera påverkas av de förväntningar som finns kopplade till rollen som ordningsvakt samt det potentiella behovet att använda våld för att skapa säkerhet. Detta undersöktes i relation till maktdimensioner, maskuliniteter samt den växling, mellan att leverera service och hålla ordning, som yrket innebär eftersom det tillhör
Denna rapport beskriver en utforskande modell- och metodstudie som kommer att ligga till grund för ett realiserat projekt. Flera frågeställningar behandlas, tex; Vilka behov finns och hur förändras dessa? Hur skiljer sig vanor och rörelsemönster i stugan i jämförelse med i hemmet? Vad innebär det att dela ett extra hem, med olika generationer och genom tid?
The aim of this study was to investigate how women reason about, and experience what it is like to live in Sweden in the months following the autumn of #metoo the year 2017. In utilizing interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) the accounts of three women can make an academic footprint in our society. Could a mostly digital aspect of a social movement influence how people think about themsel
Increasing demand for higher data rates in wireless communication systems has tremendously evolved over the last years. This demand is rapidly increasing with rising in number of wireless devices. Advanced antenna systems (AAS) – known as massive MIMO – is one of the central enabling radio technologies for 5G cellular systems that significantly increase the data rates provided for data-hungry appl
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the representation of trans* feminine women in popular media. This is done by presenting a theoretical background focusing on a specific minority group in society – namely, trans* feminine women – femininity, and heteronormativity, as well as by taking a poststructuralist approach to the applied theoretical framework in order to conduct a representation analysi
Financial return series are often characterized by volatility clusters and a leptokurtic distribution. Many models that account for these properties exist, with the GARCH model proposed by Bollerslev (1986) being the most popular. This thesis explores an alternative model to capture the stochastic volatility in financial time series. The considered model is denoted the autoregressive gamma varianc
Functional MRI is a method used to map brain functionality, where the blood oxygen level (BOLD) imaging method is frequently used. Stimulation of neurons leads to an increase in energy and oxygen consumption and signal can be detected since oxygen changes the magnetic properties of the blood. In order to measure the signal variation, a fast pulse sequence is required. The purpose of this master th
Rubber materials, preferably referred to as elastomers, are used in a wide variety of engineering applications, thanks to their unique properties and characteristics. Fluid channels between the plates of Alfa Laval’s heat exchangers are sealed with different types of elastomers, called gaskets. Gaskets are exposed to both chemical, physical and mechanical stresses during their lifetime, affecting
Kött har varit ett av de vanligaste livsmedlen för mänskligheten i årtusenden och en viktig del av minnen kopplade till mat i olika kulturer, i förhållande till vardagliga livsmedelspraktiker. Numera har växtbaserat kött (PBM), som substitut för animaliskt kött (ABM), blivit populärt och vanligt bland konsumenter som bor i Nordeuropa. Detta av olika anledningar, däribland miljöproblem, djurskydd oMeat has been one of the common foods for humankind for many millenniums and an important part of food memory in different cultures in relation to everyday food practices. Nowadays, plant-based meat (PBM), as substitution of animal-based meat (ABM), has become popular and common among consumers living in Northern Europe with various motivations including environmental problems, animal welfare, and
