Purpose: To optimize a method and develop an algorithm to quantify Fatty Acid Composition (FAC) in bone marrow adipose tissue. By using different reconstruction models, compare different MRI systems (3 T and 7 T) to find the optimal field strength and reconstruction model for FAC quantification. Also, to develop a reference phantom with bone marrow-like characteristics. Method: Multi-echo GRE (Gr
The world is slowly moving towards a more environmentally friendly mindset and many companies, such as Tetra Pak® have followed this lead by producing more environmentally friendly products and developing better materials with less environmental impact. To accommodate these requirements, it is important that the package is recyclable. For a carton this is defined by the repulpability, i.e., the ab
In this project, Esaki tunnel diodes have been made of InP(n+)/InGaAs(p+) core/sell nanowires and current-voltage characteristics of the nanowire tunnel diodes for future electronic and photovoltaic application have been investigated. Six different groups of nanowires with different doping concentrations of the shell have been studied with the aim of finding the best nanowire condition to use in t
Parasitter og cytokiner i en naturlig populasjon I naturen finner vi utallige eksempler på arter som har spesialisert seg på å utnytte andre arter for næring, trygghet og overlevelse. Denne spesialiseringen kalles parasitisme, og har ofte en kostnad for verten i form av redusert helse og livskvalitet. Hos däggdjur, er en stor parasittgruppe innvollsparasitter. nematoder som lever i tarmene og sugAbstract In nature, the coexistence of parasites and hosts has been an important factor in evolution of the immune system, which can be found in all plants and animals. As parasitic infections are by definition affect overall fitness of the host, it is important for the host to be able to counteract the detrimental effects of infections. To ensure this, signaling molecules, known as cytokines, e

Syftet med denna undersökning är att mot bakgrund av nationella handlingsplaner och riktlinjer för funktionsnedsattas inkludering undersöka hur dessa överensstämmer med musik- och kulturskolors verksamhet. Med musik- och kulturskolan i fokus syftar också denna undersökning till att kritiskt granska inkluderingsarbetet i den reguljära verksamheten vid utvalda musik- och kulturskolor. Även musikpedaTitle: Inclusion of pupils with functional deficits in music and cultural schools The major aims of the study are to investigate the extent to which the activities of music and cultural schools that many children in Sweden can attend in their free time are consistent with the plans and guiding principles adopted in Sweden for primary and secondary school education, to examine critically the inclus
Home based work is considered as work with low economic value and low waged. The Home base work is also preserved to be a principal way to earn a living for women. The traditional home based works for instance thread making, weaving, dairying, basket making etc., were such kind of work which carried out at home, still exists particularly in developing countries. Since a huge number of home base wo
Barnfridsbrottet infördes i svensk rätt år 2021, med ett starkt rättspolitiskt motiverat perspektiv – att skydda och stärka ställningen för barn som tvingades bevittna våld mellan närståendepersoner. Innan bestämmelsen trädde i kraft i svensk lagstiftning fanns det inte något annat skydd. Av den anledningen redogörs detta kort för genom uppsatsen, för att ge läsaren en förståelse om hur bestämmelsThe child protection offense was introduced into Swedish law in 2021, with a strong legal policy perspective - to protect and strengthen the position of children who were forced to witness violence between close persons. Prior to the entry into force of the provision in Swedish law, there was no other protection. For this reason, this is briefly described throughout the paper, to give the reader a
This thesis deploys ethnographic tools in a qualitative case study to explore the internet community, Female Dating Strategy (FDS). As narratives surrounding the “crisis of masculinity” are popularised within politics and mainstream media, the objective of research becomes to scrutinise these conceptualisations. This thesis does so by focusing on the field of intimacy and sexuality, by raising the
Amine transaminases are valuable biocatalysts in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of chiral amines. Their high regioselectivity and inherent regeneration of cofactor pose them as a greener alternative to the chemical synthesis. However, their application is hampered by their limited stability and narrow substrate scope and product inhibition. Recently, a stable tetrameric amine trans
Frågan om hur man bör se på straffansvar och påföljder för personer som begår brott under inflytande av en allvarlig psykisk störning är omdebatterade och därtill mycket komplicerad. Intresset av att personer som begår brott möts av en adekvat reaktion på brottet ställs här emot behovet av att tillräckligt beakta gärningsmannens psykiska tillstånd och behov av behandling. Principen att vissa persoThe question of how one should look at penalties and sanctions for persons committing crimes under the influence of a serious mental illness is controversial and very complicated. The interest in that people who commit crimes are met with an adequate response to crime is put up against the need to sufficiently take into account the offender's mental condition and need for treatment. The princi
As a consequence of the current global warming debate, many companies are today working towards minimizing their operations’ effect on the environment. The Swedish firm Ångpanneföreningen (ÅF), offers environmental consulting services through its EHS department (Environment, Health and Safety). The department’s largest business areas are services regarding state-regulated emission permits and meas
Ett av de svåraste momenten för en domare är hur de ska värdera en muntlig utsaga. Vid sexualbrott är det vanligt förekommande att en utsaga är den största bevisningen, det är därför av största vikt att en utsaga värderas på ett objektivt och godtagbart sätt. I Sverige finns det ingen lagreglering om hur en bevisvärdering ska gå till. För att rättssäkerheten inte helt ska försvinna finns det riktlOne of the most difficult moments of a judge is how to evaluate an oral statement. When dealing with sex crimes the oral statement is usually the biggest evidence, it is therefore important that an oral statement is valued in an objective and acceptable manner. In Sweden, there is no legal regulation on how an evaluation on oral statements should work. There are guidelines for the evaluation of or
I Bottniska bassängen i östra delen av centrala Sverige, finns ett antal intrusioner av tidig- och sensvekofenniska granitoider. Det aktuella undersökningsområdet består av ett sensvekofenniskt granitmassiv, beläget ca fyra km väster om Örnsköldsvik. Förutom de bergarter som tidigare definierats: själevadgranit, bergomgranit och paddalgranit, förekommer även sörbölegranit och billsjögranit. SörbölIn the Bothnian Basin, east-central Sweden, a number of intrusions of Early- and Late Svecofennian granitoids occurs. A series of Late Svecofennian granite intrusions makes up the investigation area. This is situated approximately four kilometres to the west of Örnsköldsvik. Apart from the granites earlier defined: the Själevad, Bergom and Paddal granites, Sörböle and Billsjö granites occur. The S
Aims Biogeographical evidence suggests a strong link between climate and patterns of species diversity, and climate change is known to cause range shifts. However, there is little understanding of how shifts affect community composition and we lack empirical evidence of recent impacts of climate change on the diversity of vertebrates. Using a long-term comprehensive dataset on bird abundance, we e
