The aim of this thesis project is to evaluate the performance of cylindrical diffuser fibers in IPDT. Spectracure AB has developed a system for real time monitoring of dose parameters during IPDT treatment of prostate cancer using bare-end fiber tips. One of the parameters that is monitored is the effective attenuation coefficient, mu_{eff}, and the goal of this thesis is to study how well this pa
Den nya möjligheten för föräldrar att göra skatteavdrag för att hyra in läxhjälp till sina barn har varit ett hett diskuterat ämne i den svenska politiska debatten det gångna året. Det så kallade läx-RUT väcker frågor om rättvis fördelning, skattesystemets snedvridningseffekter och behovet av ökad läxläsning för bättre skolresultat. Skatteavdraget för läxläsning är ett hittills outforskat område,
In this thesis we investigate the properties of a specific two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) that can be used to explain the data on B->Dtu and B->D*tu, which deviate from the Standard Model (SM) by 3.4 sigma. The 2HDM is the simplest extension of the Standard model scalar sector. Phenomenologically it is very rich with 4 new Higgs bosons: 2 neutral and an electromagnetic charged pair. The 2HDMs exhi
Noting an inattention to the actual individuals who are impacted by drug policy in the public discourse, this thesis was written to examine the Swedish civil service’s role in creating and maintaining social exclusion. It is a qualitative exploration of the processes of exclusion in a western welfare state and its effects on individuals. Drawing on interviews with four members of KRIS with a crimi
Syftet med denna studie är att nå nya kunskaper gällande värdering av ämnet musik, sett utifrån olika infallsvinklar. Studien syftar även till att belysa musikens påverkan på en skolmiljö och att understryka musikens värde i skolan. Studien utfördes vid en norsk grundskola i Spanien och bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer av fokusgrupper bestående av elever från olika årskurser, samt intervjuer med mThe purpose of this study is to obtain new knowledge on the perceived and given value of the subject music from different points of views. The study also intends to investigate the effect of music on a school environment and to examine its value in school. The study was made at a Norwegian school in Spain and it is based on qualitative interviews with focus groups including students from different
Att uppskatta lövyteindex med satellitdata Vegetation har unika spektrala egenskaper som kan användas inom fjärranalys för att få information om viktiga ekologiska parametrar, som t.ex löyteindex (eng. leaf area index, LAI, lövyta per markenhet). LAI styr många ekologiska processer som fotosyntes och transpiration. Med hjälp av satellitbilder kan man uppskatta LAI i stor skala. Vegetation absorLeaf area index, LAI, is an important biophysical parameter in ecological modeling. It is the ratio of leaf area per unit ground area. To obtain LAI over large areas in a fast and convenient way the use of satellite data is important. Aim of the project was to determine if there is a relationship between LAI and red-, NIR reflectance and a couple of vegetation indices: Global Environment Monitorin
We live in an age of fast changes, where updating has become a way of living; constantly forcing ourselves to change as we try to make sense of our existence. Thus there is a need for openness to the kind of learning which is incorporated with the individual’s process of change; a constant becoming through continuous forms of lifelong learning. In this qualitative study I explore and present two d
Methane emissions from Northern wetlands constitute a substantial part of the total natural emission of methane, a strong greenhouse gas. Both environmental and biotic factors influence the production, oxidation and transport of methane and hence its net flux. The methane emission from Northern wetlands is highly variable both spatially and temporally. As many factors influence the methane flux, k
Syftet med denna uppsats är ringa in den diskrepans i syn på Lundsbergs internatskola som finns bland utomstående och invigda. Arbetet är till sin form kvalitativ och i enlighet med den kvalitativa traditionen är det intervjupersonernas egna erfarenheter som lyfts fram. Parallellt med intervjuerna studeras utbildningssociologiska texter, i synnerhet Pierre Bourdieus teorier och texter kring elitsk
This design project addressed the need of a real company (which works with fishing boats) to expand its own audience towards a new market and questioned whether its actual product portfolio can fit and be successful in that new environment. The main intention with this project was to explore forms and shapes, which have been the major focus of the work, even though other several parts have been i
Detta är en kvalitativ studie som avhandlar ämnesintegration och hur det kan tillämpas av lärare i musik och engelska. Den ger även en inblick i hur lärare jobbar med det centrala innehållet i musik, med specifikt fokus på den del som kallas musikens sammanhang och funktion. Fyra lärare med ämneskombinationen musik och engelska har intervjuats. Jag har även gjort litteraturstudier för att få en dj
Studien syftar till att undersöka hur anställda som arbetar enligt konceptet hot desking uttrycker sin organisationsidentifiering (OI) samt hur styrkan av OI förändras över tid. Tre öppna frågor, med utgångspunkt i hot desking, ställdes via en internetsurvey till 100 anställda på ett teknikföretag verksamt Sverige. Mael Scale användes som ett komplement för att mäta styrkan av organisationsidentif
Uppsatsen består av en tematisk/estetisk analys av dagboksfilmen Diaries, Notes, and Sketches (Jonas Mekas, 1969). Analysen är dels förankrad i biografisk information (en traditionell auteurstudie) och i olika samhälleliga kontexter (ideologikritik).
The author examines reasons for divergence of GDP per capita among the members of ECOWAS, a RIA in West Africa of 15 members. Also, WAEMU, another RIA in West Africa, is analyzed although to a smaller extent than ECOWAS. Mainly consequences of trade diversion and agglomeration effects are considered. An analysis of the dispersion of GDP per capita between the members is carried out to find evidenc
Gehörsundervisning är ofta obligatoriskt i musikutbildningar. Trots att många moment inom gehörsundervisning, såsom prima vista-sång, kräver en mängd kognitiva färdigheter visar tidigare forskning att den kognitiva sidan av gehör sällan behandlas inom musikpedagogiken. I studien analyseras forskningsresultat från musikpedagogik och mer kognitionsinriktad forskning för att undersöka i vad mån resulEar training (E.T.) is often mandatory in music educations. Although activities in E.T., like sight-singing, requires a number of cognitive skills previous studies report that the cognitive aspect of E.T. is rarely addressed in music pedagogy. The study analyses research related to E.T. from additional scientific disciplines, that generally focusses on cognitive skills, in order to investigate to
Combining the fields of sport, gender and pedagogy within the setting of voluntary sports clubs, this thesis studies floorball as a pedagogical context within which the floorball players construct meaning of their sporting practice. Based on interviews with five Danish male floorball players and their experiences with playing floorball, this thesis analyzes how the floorball players construct the
This thesis is based on an ethnographic research on the role of health and public health care in neighborhood pubs in Helsinki. The goal was to understand why potential customers of the public health care services do not utilize the services offered. Based on the new understanding generated, a pilot health care service was developed in cooperation with two pubs, municipal health care, and the nurs
The strong CP problem and its solution are treated on the undergraduate level. We first review the theoretical background of symmetry and symmetry breaking in particle physics. The Goldstone model is treated for several simple systems: the linear sigma model, the Higgs mechanism and the interpretation of pions as pseudo-Goldstone bosons in QCD. The problem of lack of CP-violation in strong interac
In this thesis, the Arctic sea ice volume and thickness evolution over the time period 1850-2100 is analysed. The analysed data is provided by the CMIP5 climate models, which contributed their output for the IPCC Fifth Assessment. The results were compared to the reanalysis data series PIOMAS. Three RCP projections, with different greenhouse gas emission scenarios, were used for the time period 20
