Ex vivo organ perfusion is a technique that aims to increase the amount of organ donors by treating an otherwise nonfunctional organ with a perfusion fluid outside of the body to restore its function. UGLK Science is an ex vivo organ perfusion company outside of Lund specializing in kidney transplantation. The organ is perfused in a machine which restores kidney function, allowing the organ to sur
Bakgrund: Postoperativt delirium (POD) är en relativt vanlig komplikation efter genomgången kirurgi och anestesi. Enligt sammanställd forskning drabbas 4 till 53 procent beroende på typ av kirurgi, ålder och tidigare sjukdomar. Det är en komplikation som skapar obehag för patienten, förlängd sjukhusvistelse och även ökad mortalitet. Flertalet faktorer förutom de ovan påverkar risken för att drabba
Automatic segmentation of organs and tissues in computed tomography (CT) images can aid clinicians in anatomical contextualization for planning surgery or dosimetry. CT scans can cover varying axial ranges of the body. This thesis aims to develop a neural network based on vision transformers for segmenting organs and tissues in CT images of arbitrary axial ranges. Two models are presented, one bas
This work is aimed at presenting a design for the proposed HIBEAM beamline which seeks to perform neutron oscillation measurements at the European Spallation Source (ESS). The design is informed by beamline simulations performed with PHITS 3.33 and detector simulations performed with both PHITS and Geant4 11.2. The shielding, consisting of 45 cm of steel and 85 cm of heavy concrete at its thickest
The growing popularity of Extended Reality (XR) attracts new people to enter the field. However, novices face challenges at the beginning of their journeys. Previous studies have identified the key difficulties based on real-world evidence and found that the barriers to entry were high. This thesis aims to guide novice XR practitioners in overcoming these challenges. To achieve this, empirical in
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, and it is linked with aggregation of α-synuclein protein. PD can be diagnosed using real-time quaking induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assay. RT-QuIC, despite its effectiveness, is not really understood in terms of the mechanisms driving it. Aim(s): The aim of the project was to reproduce RT-QuIC protocol develop

In light of the shortcomings of dominant recycling strategies in dealing with the plastic crisis, the circularity strategy of reuse is receiving increasing attention. Due to its goal of extending product lifespans, reuse is often seen as a more progressive strategy that aims to prevent waste rather than diverting it. Investigating the emerging phenomenon of reuse organizations in a multiple-case s
Let $\dim_H(\mathcal{J}_\epsilon)$ and $\dim_H(\mathcal{J}_{i\epsilon})$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of the polynomials $f_\epsilon(z) = z^2 -2 -\epsilon$ and $f_{i\epsilon}(z) = z^2 -2 +i\epsilon$ receptively for small $\epsilon>0$. This thesis contains two main Theorems, both dealing with the upper bound for the asymptotic behaviour of $\dim_H(\mathcal{J}_\epsilon)$ and $\dim
Abstract Purpose: This study investigates the impact of social influence on consumer preferences for product recommendations made by an AI or a human within the cosmetics industry, specifically in light of hedonic or utilitarian goals. Methodology: This quantitative research follows a deductive approach, using an online self-completion survey for data collection. A total of 659 valid responses w
Machine learning algorithms are experiencing unprecedented attention, but their inherent computational complexity leads to high energy consumption. However, a paradigm shift in computing methods has the potential to address the issue. This shift could be a move towards analog in-memory computing, a method which uses Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s Laws, and carries out the processing directly where data res
This research examines how consideration of place attachment and community values can inform the development and implementation of fair and equitable climate change adaptation (CCA) practices in the Australian local government context. The research adopts a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with expert interviewees and reflective thematic analysis to answer three research ques
The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyze, from a socio-legal perspective, how appellate courts create legitimacy for their decisions in custody cases concerning custody, residence, and visitation where the phenomenon of parental alienation occurs. Parental alienation is when a child is deliberately turned against one of their parents through manipulation or influence, often by the othe
Switzerland's current food system is unsustainable and responsible for 25% of the country's environmental footprint. Half of the greenhouse gas emissions from the Swiss food system are caused by meat and dairy consumption. Reducing Switzerland's GHG emissions from the food system requires an orchestrated approach, targeting amended consumption and production patterns. A primary change
Uppsatsen tar fram olika modeller och teorier om nätverk och vad som kan påverka nätverk. De begrepp som tas upp som påverkar nätverk är bland annat digitaliseringen i form av digitala verktyg, sociala plattformar och kommunikation. Sedan intervjuas 5 entreprenörer som driver konsultföretag i ekonomibranschen där frågor ställs kring deras nätverk. Slutligen visade det sig att digitaliseringen har
Syftet med studien går ut på att undersöka och analysera vilka karaktäristiska egenskaper och färdigheter som en projektledare bör besitta eller utveckla för att lyckas i sin roll. Vidare kommer studien att undersöka projektledarens ledarskapsstil för att få en uppfattning om hur det påverkar ett projekts framgång. Genom att identifiera dessa egenskaper och färdigheter kan arbetet bidra till att ö
Skadelindringshierarkin är en vanligt föreslagen princip för att minska påverkan på naturkapital inom planprocesser. Skadelindringshierarkin innebär att påverkan på naturliga miljöer i första hand ska undvikas, annars minimeras – och när detta inte är möjligt återställas inom området eller kompenseras enligt en ekvivalens- och närhetsprincip. Beräkningarna kan utföras i en modell som exempelvis GrA commonly proposed principle for reducing impact on natural capital within the planning process is the mitigation hierarchy. The mitigation hierarchy means that impacts should primarily be avoided, otherwise minimized, and when this is not possible - restored or compensated according to an equivalency- and proximity principle. The outcome can be calculated in a model such as the Green Space Facto
De prekära arbetsförhållandena som upplevs av frilansmusiker i Sverige påverkar många olika aspekter av deras liv. För att skydda dessa arbetstagare från exploatering och osäkerhet samt öka jämställdheten på arbetsmarknaden finns arbetsrättsliga regler formulerade i svensk lagstiftning och i det branschspecifika kollektivavtalet. I denna kvalitativa intervjustudie undersöks frilansmusikers uppleve
The aim of this study is to understand how outreach workers work with at-risk youth to reduce the risk of criminal behavior. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with eight outreach workers from different parts of Sweden who all have continuous contact with at-risk youth. The theoretical approaches we used when analyzing our material were Michael Lipsky’s theory of street-level bureauc
