Orthopaedic measurements with computed radiography. Methodological development, accuracy, and radiation dose with special reference to the weight-bearing lower extremity and the dislocating patella

Popular Abstract in Swedish Digital bildteknik dominerar snart all bildhantering inom alla delar av samhället. Målsättningen med denna avhandling var att utveckla en undersökningsmetod för mätning av knäleden i belastat läge med hjälp av digital bildplatteteknik. Vad är bildplatteteknik? Traditionellt har röntgenbilder framställts med hjälp av fotografisk film. De framkallade bilderna har sedan The overall aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a measurement system for computed radiography (CR) and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), permitting measurements of long distances and angles in and between related images. The developed measurement system, which was based on the QUESTOR Precision Radiography (QPR) system, was applied to the weight-bearing knee with specia

Konstitutionellt rättighetsskydd. Svensk rätt i ett komparativt perspektiv

Popular Abstract in Swedish Detta är en av de få större statsrättsliga studierna i Sverige på senare år. Vad som analyseras i boken är inte rättsläget beträffande någon enskild rättighet utan de skyddsmekanismer för de medborgerliga rättigheterna som finns i ett antal västliga rättssystem. Förutom Sverige behandlas Danmark, Norge, Finland, Tyskland, Frankrike, Storbrittanien och USA. Särskilda kapConstitutional Protection of Human Rights means something else than international protection, first and foremost since it is exercised at a national level. This protection may be excercised by courts or by special mechanisms of protection within the legislative process. However, if this protection of the basic rights of the individuals is to be a strong one, it is likely to limit the freedom of ac

Malmbanan Diaries

This booklet is a report for a case study visit during four day field trip, a group of nine PhD students and their supervisors – all part of the National Research School for Architecture and Planning in the Urban Landscape, APULA – set out to explore what may be considered the outback of Western Europe’s conurbations, the transnational region of Kiruna -Narvik.Both “remote” and “resourceful”, “thr

Elements for improving the teaching of the later phases of the mechanical engineering design process

Introduction During the embodiment design and detail design phase, the designer has at his disposal a set of tools and techniques that him or her through the synthesis activity: basic rules, guidelines and principles (see [1]), but in the literature there are general design processes that help the designer to organize their work (e.g. [1]), but not at a very operational level. From a previous stud

A realist conceptualization for studying information system development methodology

It is tempting to assume that Information Systems Development Methodology (ISDM) is clearly understood because it has attracted researchers across a range of research fields offering a rich set of descriptions and explanations of ISDM. Although there are considerable studies on ISDM, this paper argues that different disciplinary interests have resulted in fragmented assessments. Consequently, this

Pose Estimation with Unknown Focal Length using Points, Directions and Lines

In this paper, we study the geometry problems of estimating camera pose with unknown focal length using combination of geometric primitives. We consider points, lines and also rich features such as quivers, i.e. points with one or more directions. We formulate the problems as polynomial systems where the constraints for different primitives are handled in a unified way. We develop efficient polyno

Biosensors for Food Analysis: Development and Applications

Reliable analytical methods are increasingly needed in the food and beverage industry for the determination of specific components (e.g. sugars, proteins, vitamins, fats) and for detecting and quantifying chemical contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics, and pathogenic microorganisms. The need arises from numerous regulatory actions and increased consumer concern about food comp

ON ARTHRODESIS AND REPLACEMENT OF THE HUMAN ANKLE

Of 30 primary ankle fusions in patients with osteoarthrosis, 25 ankles underwent clinical evaluation by two independent observers. In 29 cases, two independent radiologists, unanimously found 26 ankles to be radiographically fused, and three not fused. The consistency between the two orthopaedic surgeons evaluations was somewhat lower. A complete consistency between the evaluations of all four obs

Core-excited smoothly terminating band in Xe-114

High-spin states have been studied in neutron-deficient Xe-114(54), populated through the Ni-58(Ni-58,2p) fusion-evaporation reaction at 230 MeV. The Gammasphere gamma-ray spectrometer has been used in conjunction with the Microball charged-particle detector in order to select evaporation residues of interest. The yrast band has been greatly extended to a tentative spin of 52 (h) over bar and show

Förändringsförsök och identitetsdramatisering. En studie bland nördar och slipsbärare

There is a vast amount of normative literature on change, which primarily focuses on how to manage change in an efficient and successful manner. What actually happens when management attempt to put their plans into practice is more seldomly investigated. Moreover, the prevailing literature on change primarily takes a management perspective. Other organizational members are usually treated as suppo

Self-assembly in Melts of Block copolymer-based Systems Featuring Supramolecular Interactions

Popular Abstract in English From everyday experience we know that water and oil do not mix. In the scientific language we say they phase separate from each other. This happens because a water molecule and an oil molecule are inherently incompatible, the former exhibiting a ‘polar’ character and the latter a ‘non-polar’ one. Water and oil molecules are small, meaning that they are made up of only The subject of this thesis is experimental investigation of self-assembly in solvent-free (ionic) macromolecular systems that contain block copolymer chains as the basic constituent component in combination with low molecular weight amphiphiles. In particular, especial attention is paid to study thoroughly a new class of block copolymer-based ionic supramolecules, named as Linear-b-AmphComb, that
