Kranioplastik är ett kirurgiskt ingrepp där en del av skallen rekonstrueras på grund av estetiska eller medicinska skäl. I de flesta av fallen är kranioplastiken gjord med patientens egna skallben som har sparats från ett tidigare kirurgiskt ingrepp men om skallbenet saknas på grund av en defekt eller annan anledning så behövs ett implantat. Metoden för att designa implantatet har tidigare beståttCranioplasty is surgical repair of a skull bone defect due to a previous surgery or injury. Cranioplasty is most often performed with autologous bone flap, i.e the patient's own saved bone from previous surgery if this is available. If autologous bone is not available then custom procedure is to manually mould an implant using bone cement from the plastic polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Manual

The purpose of this study is to investigate how women with an ADHD diagnosis, who were diagnosed in the ages between 12-17, see their own experiences and identities in relation to role expectations of females. The ambition is to bring light to the stories of women, who have been in the shadow of the stereotypical ADHD man in society as well as in studies. The method chosen for empirical material i

For a long time, Quentin Skinner has been one of the world’s most prominent figures in the discipline of intellectual history. As one of the leading proponents of what has come to be known as “the Cambridge school” he has always been a strong advocate for the implementation of a singular historical method, based on a mix of, what I would call, a “Collingswoodian contextualism” and an “Austian spee

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Echinodermerna räknas som en mycket viktig del av den marina faunan. Bland echinodermerna återfinns djur som sjöstjärnor, sjöborrar, ormstjärnor och sjöliljor. Gemensamt för dessa är att de alla byggs upp av ett skelett av mindre delfragment, plåtar, där byggnadskomponenten för själva "skelettet" är kalcit. Kalcit är ett mineral som förekommer som en vPhosphatization of late Early Ordovician echinoderm fragments from N Öland has resulted in excellent preservation of the echinoderm stereom ultra structure. The stereom investigated shows a close relationship to different types found in recent echinoderms. The several different types of phosphatic preservation found have been controlled by diagenetic relationships. The original stereom structures

Background The fierce competition in the telecom industry makes operators heavily invest in acquiring new customers. This is most often done with marketing campaigns and subsidies of handsets. But to be truly profitable, it is crucial not only to attract new customers, but also to make sure they retain with the company for as long time as possible. This turns the mobile operators’ attention to cus

Over the last 30 years scientists have studied the morphological and mineralogical proofs of past aqueous activity on Mars. NASA’s latest flagship mission, the Mars 2020 mission with its Perseverance rover, landed in Jezero crater in 2021. Perseverance is tasked with investigating the wet history that has partially formed today’s Mars, and more specifically, find specific indicators for potential

Trading commodities has been around for centuries, and today, most trading is done electronically on exchanges in derivatives contracts. Over time, regulatory bodies, specifically the CFTC, have sought to implement safeguards against market manipulation by participants. One such measure has been position limits on derivatives, which since January 1st, 2023, also includes so-called economically equ

This paper investigates the predictive ability of technical trading rules (TTRs) on the Swedish stock market. Eight variations of two common TTRs—the relative strength index (RSI) and the moving average convergence/ divergence (MACD)—are applied on the constituent stocks of the OMX Stockholm 30 from January 2014 to December 2023. To evaluate forecasting ability, an event study is conducted. Abnorm

Förbättring av plasmidtransfektion till celler är av yttersta vikt vid forskning och behandling av sjukdomar baserat på genetiska tillvägagångssätt. Utvecklingen av omfattande, säkra, effektiva och skalbara metoder att införa genetiskt material i celler utgör en teknisk utmanande uppgift. Sonoporering, där trycket från ultraljudvågor orsakar perforering i cellmembranet, vilket möjliggör transfektiImproving plasmid transfection into cells is crucial in genetic disease research and treatment. The development of comprehensive, safe, effective, and scalable methods for introducing genetic material into cells poses a technically challenging task. Sonoporation, which utilizes pressure from ultrasonic waves to induce perforations in the cell membrane, enabling transfection, is an evolving method

I takt med samhällets generella digitalisering har också hälso- och sjukvår-den börjat använda alltmer elektroniska verktyg och hjälpmedel. En sådan utveckling är användningen av Ineras e-tjänst 1177 journalen för att tillhandahålla uppgifter ur patientjournaler. I dagsläget gäller den gemen-samma principen för 1177, att vårdnadshavare har tillgång till uppgifter ur sitt barns patientjournal fram In line with the general digitalisation of society, the healthcare sector has also started to use more and more electronic tools and aids. One such development is the use of Ineras e-service 1177 journalen to provide information from patient journals. At present, the common principle for 1177 is that guardians have access to information from their child’s patient journal until the child turns 13.

I långa vita korridorer med oräkneliga antal lysrör finns en värld som byggs upp av mjuka ting som läkare och sjuksköterskor, men även mer och mer hårda ting - teknik. Vad händer när bryggan mellan de mjuka och hårda tingen inte byggs med dem båda i åtanke? WHO beskriver att nästan ett av tio fel som sker med medicinsk teknik beror på användaren. Dessa fel skulle kunna undvikas om system designadeAs incidences of chronic diseases increase, the tools to diagnose, treat and monitor such conditions become more important. Medical imaging technologies, being one of these tools, still face challenges in safe and effective use. At the same time, poor design of medical devices causes errors that could be avoided using proper design methods. The master thesis is written in collaboration with Bild

In recent years, microwave applications in the food products have attracted increasing attention by the food packaging industry and the consumers due to their convenience, low energy and water usage and short processing time giving them a sustainable advantage over competing technologies. In-pack pasteurization represents one of the fastest developing technologies in preparing and delivering safe

The now Swedish province of Scania has had a long history of violence and unrest, with several wars being fought on Scanian soil. Such tumultuous times must have impacted the common people and their living conditions, yet bioarchaeological research is lacking for post-medieval Scania and much of Sweden. By analysing a skeletal material from a 16-18th century semi-urban cemetery in Ängelholm, for w

Helicobacter pylori is an important pathogen inhabiting the human stomach. H. pylori binds plasminogen, a 90 kDa glycoprotein secreted by liver cells, and utilizes it for enhancing virulence. Surface receptors on the bacteria recognize plasminogen that is then activated into plasmin by host factors. The active plasmin can degrade a range of host proteins including proteins of the extracellular mat

The aim of this study was to create a scenario for a simulation model where the Swedish fire commanders could practice tactics, techniques and giving orders in a rescue operation. The object on which the fire scenario is created is an athletic centre in Lund called Gerdahallen. Both the computer model HAZARD and hand calculations have been used to construct a model of the fire in this building. Th

There are today about 200 000 children living in families where either one or both parents are addicted to alcohol. These children often become young carers, as they are prematurely being placed in adult caring roles. The aim of this thesis has been to illustrate the situation for children of alcoholics and to examine how these children are coping when parents do not fulfil their parenting respons

This degreework was initiated by a brief email send form the department of design science at Lund Institute of Technology, Lund University. It was an invitation from the company Reflectil Sverige AB about their interest to renew their selection of non-professional high visibility garment. The companies demand was to broaden their selection of nonprofessional high visibility garment. They wanted to
