Molecular imaging techniques have become an essential tool for cancer diagnosis. They have the potential to detect cancer at early stages and thus, they can change the outcome of the disease and patient prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has arisen as one of the most promising imaging methods used for the screening of soft tumor tissues such as breast cancer. However, the specificity of M
Förevarande uppsats behandlar de argument och ställningstaganden som ligger bakom lagstiftarens beslut beträffande assisterad befruktning i allmänhet, och surrogatmoderskap i synnerhet. Den alternativa familjebildningen och den assisterade befruktningens historia går långt tillbaka i tiden, men började på allvar regleras på 1980-talet, då inseminationsutredningen grundligt utredde frågan. VariatThe thesis at hand deals with the arguments and positions underlying the legislators decisions concerning Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) in general, and surrogate motherhood in particular. The history of alternative ways to start a family, and ART goes far back.

The purpose of this project was to develop and test lipase-based in vitro release (IVR) assays for model and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) entrapped in lipid formulations based on mixtures of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and glycerol dioleate (GDO). Two dyes, Fluorescein disodium salt and Patent Blue V sodium salt, functioning as model drug compounds, were investigated separately in the PC/G
Vindkraftens utbyggnad kommer leda till att det i framtiden kommer ställas högre krav på nedstyrning av den aktiva effekten i vindkraftsanläggningar. Denna rapport tar upp hur elproduktionen påverkas vid nedstyrning. Det är inte alltid självklart hur en anläggning påverkas då det är faktorer som turbinlayout, vindriktning och vindhastighet som spelar in. För att kunna modellera nedreglering av deThe expansion of wind power will lead to higher demands on downward regulation of active power in wind power plants. This report treats how the production of electricity is affected by downward regulation. It is not trivial how a wind power plant reacts since factors like turbine layout, wind direction and wind speed have an impact. To be able to model downward regulation of the active power the w
Syftet med studien är att få en inblick i varför väderskydd inte används i den utsträckning som rekommenderas med tanke på fuktsäkerheten. Att intervjua personer i projekt med väderskydd och även elementskyddade väderskydd av olika karaktär görs för att undersöka varför dessa beslut tas samt hur väderskyddet hanteras i ett upphandlingsskede. Genom att undersöka fallprojekt som platschefer är iblan

Today there are still single family houses with direct electric heating systems, even though this is an expensive and inefficient way of heating a house. It is common to install an air-to-air heat pump that requires less electricity to produce the same amount of heat as a direct electricity heating system. These heat pumps do not produce any energy for domestic hot water since the water is heated
Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har särbehandlats sedan antikens dagar. I de flesta länder i världen finns det än idag ett krav på att en person ska vara tillräknelig för att kunna dömas till ansvar för brott. Om man är tillräknelig betyder det att man vet vad man gör och att man har förmåga att kontrollera sina gärningar, det vill säga att man har ansvarsförmåga. I Sverige finns det inget krav på Mentally disordered offenders have always been treated differently by the criminal justice system. In most countries the law requires that the accused is sane to be considered accountable for his or her actions. Accountability, in this context, means that you know what you are doing and that you are able to control your actions. In Sweden there is no requirement that the accused is sane to be cons
