This project was conducted focusing on the traditional Japanese dish sushi. The dish and concept have been on a steady rise on the Swedish market as well as becoming a favorite in the hearts of swedes. There are difficulties surrounding prepping and handling of sushi and malpractice can easily occur. If malpractice should occur, it could lead to many consequences as serious as food poisoning. From

På gränsen mellan Helsingborgs och Bjuvs kommun ligger ett område vars förutsättningar för grundvattenuttag bedöms vara dåliga. Av den anledning har en undersökning utförts över en förkastning, tolkad av SGU i just detta område, för att se om denna kan vara vattenförande eller om det kan finnas andra vattenförande strukturer i berget. Förkastningen och det omkringliggande området har undersökts meIn an area on the border between Helsingborg and Bjuv municipality a fault has been mapped by the Swedish Geological Survey (SGU) and since this area have poor prerequisites for groundwater outtake this is of big interest. This is also the reason why this survey have been carried out to try to identify if the fault is water-bearing and to find its position with a better accuracy then could be gath

This study’s purpose was to gather Swedish immigrants’ stories about integration connected to the labour market. The data was gathered through ten semi-structured interviews with immigrants participating in labour market activity. To interpret them Honneth’s theory about recognition were mainly used, but also an intersectional perspective to understand the difference within the group. The conclusi

Bildgivning av lungor har länge varit och är än ett viktigt forskningsområde eftersom lungkomplikationer är en stor anledning till sjuklighet och dödlighet över hela världen. Med den fortsatta forskningen och de förbättrade avbildningarna ökar kunskapen, vilken bidrar till förbättrad sjukvård. I dagsläget utförs en stor mängd lungavbildningar med synkrotronljuskällor. Dessa är ljusstarka röntgenkäIntroduction: Lung imaging with synchrotron light sources is currently a widely studied field. The image resolution and quality are remarkable and the level of detail possible to study the smallest structures, the alveoli, of the lungs cannot be obtained by any other non-invasive imaging modality with the current technology. The most common and useful type of lung imaging with brilliant light sour

Under de senaste decennierna har antalet diagnostiserade cancerfall stadigt ökat. För patienter med den ödesdigra hjärntumören glioblastom har överlevnadsstatistiken dock stått still. Forskare i Lund och Köpenhamn tros nu ha funnit pusselbiten som kan komma att ändra på detta. Cancern är en av de dödligaste sjukdomarna i Sverige och stod för 26 procent av alla dödsfall år 2017. Däremot har man unPurpose: Improvements in mortality rate of glioblastoma patients have been limited during the past decades, due to the tumor’s rapidly growing and infiltrative behavior and resistance to current therapy. Recent findings show that higher brain mean dose strongly correlates with inferior overall survival and that local recurrences mainly occur centrally in previously irradiated regions. This project

Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancertypen bland kvinnor och varje år drabbas nästan 9000 kvinnor i Sverige. Vart tredje cancerfall hos kvinnor är bröstcancer. De flesta fall upptäcks via screeningprogrammet där en så kallad mammografiundersökning ingår. Alla kvinnor mellan 40 och 74 år är inbjudna till denna undersökning. Mammografi är en röntgenundersökning av bröst. Under röntgenbildtagningen fAim: The aim of the study is to characterize the dependency of image quality on absorbed dose for two breast tomosynthesis (BT) systems, GE Senographe Pristina and Siemens Mammomat Inspiration and compare the systems. The image quality was evaluated by different parameters such as: in-plane and in-depth spatial resolution, artifact spread function (ASF) and signal-difference-to-noise ratio (SDNR).

Att man kan använda röntgenstrålning för att ta bilder på kroppens inre har varit känt sedan sent 1800-tal och idag finns det en mängd olika röntgenapparater. En sådan är datortomografen, computed tomography (CT) på engelska. Med datortomografi är det möjligt att avbilda patienten i tre dimensioner, istället för vid slätröntgen där man endast får ut en tvådimensionell bild. Detta möjliggör en bättPurpose/Background Dual Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) have been clinically available for over ten years. Two such systems are currently used at Skane University Hospital (SUS) in Lund. By utilizing materials different attenuating properties at different energies, material decomposition and iodine quantification is possible. The aim of this master thesis was to compare the two DECT systems and

Karpaltunnelsyndrom är en vanlig sjukdom och omkring 3.7-5.8 % av befolkningen har eller har drabbats av åkomman. Karpaltunnelsyndrom behöver vanligtvis inte åtgärdas om problemen är lindriga, men vissa får större problem och då åtgärdas det ofta med en operation som ibland inte lindrar åkomman. Den mest populära metoden för att diagnostira karpaltunnelsyndromär idag en metod som heter elektroneurIntroduction: 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

Persondosimetri för vårdpersonal, som i sitt yrke exponeras för joniserande strålning, är ständigt ett hett ämne och under konstant utveckling. Stråldosen mäts och registreras för att uppfylla riktlinjer och lagar, som syftar till att hålla personal säkra vid arbete med joniserande strålning. Det finns en rad olika sätt att mäta stråldoser till en människa. För att effektivt uppskatta och mäta strWithin 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

Jod är ett grundämne som är livsnödvändigt för människan. Det finns att hitta i bland annat fisk, skaldjur ägg och mejeriprodukter. Många av oss har även jodberikat salt på middagsbordet. En del av det jod vi får i oss via kosten kommer att ansamlas i sköldkörteln - ett organ som sitter under struphuvudet, på halsens nedre del. Sköldkörteln har i uppgift att producera hormoner. Dessa hormoner utsöBACKGROUND: 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

Begging in Sweden is not a new phenomenon although it is a current issue in Swedish politics, more precisely the issue is focused on a begging ban. This thesis studies how beggars in Sweden are constructed in discourses of a begging ban. The study implements a critical discourse analytic approach with Carole Bacchi’s (1999) theory and method “What’s the problem represented to be?” (WTP). The WTP a

The thesis aims to analyze the effect of environmental policies on the electoral support of governing parties in Sweden. The study turns around the classical question of what effects environmental policies have on the environment, and asks instead what the government can expect regarding support by voters when implementing an environmental policy. The study uses a Difference-in-Differences approac

The EU has over the years tried to implement a common European identity to legitimize its increased sovereignty in Europe. In present time, nationalist movements have been assembling in European countries which seem to contradict the aimed effect of the European identity. This thesis examines the outspoken nationalist group Identity and Democracy in the European Parliament and how they portray the

By studying the case of the South African drought crisis in relation to the increased violence against women, the study sets out to explain the re

This Masters’ thesis attempts to identify why European countries choose Chinese investment instruments despite their participation in the European single market and access to European Union (EU) resources and technical assistance. Since their inception in 2013, EU members as well as EU partner states in Europe have been divided on their approach towards joining the Chinese investment instruments-

Iran and Saudi Arabia have major impact in the Middle East and their bitter rivalry has led to multiple proxy wars in the area. The Middle East has experienced multiple conflicts throughout the years, especially Yemen. Iran and Saudi Arabia’ involvement intensified with the “Arab Spring” and have made the situation more complex. The overarching purpose of this study is to understand the rivalry be

The European Union faces new challenges, as the labour market we know today, is being disrupted in terms of technological development. The future job market brings new challenges, which must be addressed by the EU. This thesis seeks to explore how a small state can gain influence by acting as a smart state, in context of a future labour market. The study will be based on a case study, which invest

Human trafficking is considered one of the gravest violations of human rights. It dramatically deprives people of their humanity, dignity and freedom but is also considered a serious threat against national security and international peace. From traditionally being the crime of choice for criminal networks, human trafficking has been increasingly incorporated as a strategy by terrorist organisatio
