Political instability the last decades has forced millions of people to migrate from their homelands. In Sweden today, 1.6 million are born abroad, of which the largest immigrant groups originate from the Middle East. Immigrants from these areas represent high risk populations for type 2 diabetes with prevalence of type 2 diabetes twice as high compared to the native Swedish population. The mechan

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has during the recent years become a frequently used technique in radiotherapy. Lately IMRT has also been combined with rotational beam delivery, with a simultaneously moving couch, a technique called tomotherapy. The great benefit with this treatment method is the ability to give highly conformal treatments, with high dose to the tumour, while sparing

Botswana is known as the ‘Diamond of Africa’ due to its unique success in avoiding the resource curse, the paradox where resource-rich developing countries experience poor economic and social outcomes while trapped in a cycle of underdevelopment. Despite the consequences of the resource curse, such as higher corruption and conflict, impacting development as a whole, much of the existing literature

This thesis investigates the role of trust in the context of decentralised finance (DeFi). Representing a new paradigm shift in finance, DeFi emerge from the technological developments that we have witnessing in the last decades, particularly decentralised ledger technologies (DLTs) of which Blockchain is perhaps the most popular. DeFi is changing the way that firms raise financial capital and a c

Background: The development of factor (F) VIII neutralizing alloantibodies (inhibitors) is a major complication of treatment with FVIII concentrates in hemophilia A and the etiology is still poorly understood. The low-affinity Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma R), which are expressed on immune cells, provide an important link between cellular and humoral immunity by interacting with IgG subtypes. Genet

Closing implementation gaps through sustainable action nets This project deals with the principle formulated by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency that sustainable waste policy should be oriented toward waste prevention and not only waste management. National authorities can steer through decisions and legislation, and introduce incitements and control mechanisms. But practical responsibi

Popular Abstract in English Cancer diagnostics is an increasingly important task in the modern world due to an increasing cancer incidence and because diagnostics and treatment are given higher priority. There are many requirements to a diagnostic system. First of all it is important to provide an accurate diagnosis to be able to choose the right treatment. In addition, it is preferable that the mOptical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive optical imaging technique providing approximately 10 micrometer resolution of tissue in vivo. Within ophthalmology, OCT has already proven its value and is routinely used for diagnosing retinal diseases. In many other areas the potential of OCT is explored worldwide, while the technique itself is further developed with improved imaging speed, re

In the developing process of medical devices three perspectives have to be considered; the users, the producers and the regulatory, still the user perspective is of special importance for the success of a product. At the same time possibilities are gradually reduced for medical technology companies to obtain new external ideas, mainly caused by the increased technical content of today’s medical de

Homelessness has increased significantly in Sweden since the early 1990s. A national surveyof homelessness in 2023 showed that 27,383 people were in one of the four homelessnesssituations that are recognised in Sweden, namely: (a) acute homelessness; (b) institutional orsupported housing; (c) long-term housing organised by a municipality; and (d) short-termaccommodation arranged by people themselv

Many studies have over the years utilized gravity models derived from trade theories to investigate how various factors affect trade in agricultural goods. Although technological improvements could be considered in such models, few studies have considered this topic in depth, leaving a void to fill. To partly fill this void, this study has chosen the silk sector to analyze the impact of technologi

In this study, the results from simulations of two sets of a 1/2 scale ISO room (ISO 9705) experiments are presented. In the experiments, heptane in a tray was burned in the middle of the room. Five models with various levels of complexity and geometric detail are used. The comparisons between simulations and experiments show that the fourth model provides the most accurate results with deviation

Therefore we combined several factors from the organizational level with cha

Nu påbörjas årets lönerevision vid Luleå tekniska universitet som avser perioden 2024–10–01 –– 2025–09–30. Även i år har vi ett sifferlöst avtal. För medlemmar i Saco tillämpas på LTU lönesättande samtal vilket innebär att du som anställd i samband med lönerevisionen ska ha två samtal med din närmaste chef. Det första samtalet är tänkt att vara ett ömsesidigt utbyte av information avseende din pre
