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

This work aimed to characterize single chain fragment variables (scFvs) against S100A7 and Calprotectin, proteins part of the Ca2+ binding S100 family that have been associated with inflammatory diseases and cancer. The mechanisms governing the physiological functions of S100 proteins are not fully understood, but it is known that many of them contribute to maintaining homeostasis in the intracell

Unicorns – privately-owned companies with a market valuation upwards of $1 billion – develop at an explosive growth rate. This hypergrowth forces unicorns to attract external partners enabling and supporting their development. Therefore, the right compilation of external growth domains allows unicorns to remain healthy and self-sustaining. To investigate external domains, a recent surge in literat

This report discusses the use of magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) as a diagnostic imaging method using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) as a contrast agent. With a focus on rectal cancer. Rectal cancer is a disease which complications often affect the quality of life to a large extent for the affected. The principle of MMUS is based on applying a time-varying magnetic field that e

The purpose of this study is to research how the principle of the best interest of the child expresses itself in custody disputes. The subject is based on how the principle does not have a clear description in the law. The district court therefore possesses room to interpret what they consider to be the best interest of the child in each individual case. The aim of the study is therefore to, throu

The rehabilitation techniques currently available for patients who suffer from injury to the ulnar or median nerve tends to give suboptimal results. Typically, adults who are operated due to a complete transection of the median or ulnar nerve never regain normal sensibility in the injured hand leading to severe limitations in terms of hand function. One of the biggest challenges in sensory rehabil

The commissioning phase is the last phase of a construction project when all subsystems come together to be tested as a whole, working as a single entity. This phase is often the most crucial and time-sensitive part of the project as the construction occupies space in the factory and inflicts down¬time in processes without adding value. Faults found in this phase can be time-consuming to correct a
