Optical 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

Vid Miljö- och geovetenskapliga institutionen bedriver vi forskning och utbildning som belyser både grundläggande och tillämpade frågor om jordens tidigare, nuvarande och framtida klimat och miljö. Vi studerar också hur människor påverkar naturen och hur dessa förändringar i sin tur påverkar vårt välbefinnande. Institutionen utvecklar och använder avancerade metoder, modeller och tekniker inom blaAt the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, we conduct research and provide education that highlights both fundamental and applied questions concerning the Earth’s past, present and future climate and environment. We also study how humans affect nature and how these changes, in turn, influence our wellbeing. The department develops and uses advanced methods, models and technologies, inc

IMPORTANCE: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia, portends higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and is associated with quantifiable impairment in quality of life. While physical activity is widely recognized for its cardiovascular benefits, recent evidence challenges its role in the development of AF. OBSERVATIONS: Emerging data suggest a U-shaped rel

The aim of this thesis was to analyze and compare the effects of various types of speed-reducing measures (speed humps, raised pedestrian and cycle crossings, dynamic speed bumps, and combined solutions) on vehicle speeds and traffic safety on selected streets in Helsingborg, Sweden. The study focused on residential streets, school zones, and main roads with different traffic environments. The met

This paper aims to explore how learning about Circular Economy (CE) may be facilitated through the use of the serious game In the Loop. Despite the growing literature base related to CE, academic reflection on education for a CE is currently limited. In the Loop was developed to provide an experiential learning situation for educating about material criticality and CE. This study reflects on the u

Sepsis är ett allvarligt, systemiskt svar på infektion och orsakas ofta av bakterier. Dödligheten kan vara upp till 30%. Snabb och korrekt diagnostik är central då dödligheten ökar med 8% för varje timme som går utan att patienten får adekvat behandling. Sepsis är tämligen okänt för allmänheten, och svårfångat pga hastig progress och olikheter i ursprung. Forskningen kring sepsis är underfinansierSepsis is a severe, systemic response to infection, often caused by bacteria. Approx. 30 million cases occur worldwide each year causing up to 8 million deaths. The mortality is as high as 30%. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial, as mortality increases with 8% every hour that appropriate treatment is delayed. Sepsis is fairly unknown to the general public, and complicated by its rapid progres

This thesis examines the relationship between organizational buyer behavior and brand sensitivity and factors that affect them when making purchase decisions in hotels and restaurants.

Fokus för forskningen kan sammanfattas med orden vardag, hälsa och välbefinnande. Aktivitet, dess komplexitet, mening och vilken betydelse det har för människors upplevelse av hälsa och välbefinnande – är centralt. Vi som är organiserade i gruppen arbetar i varierande omfattning med undervisning, forskning och med att sprida våra resultat till brukare och olika verksamheter i samhället.The research in the Occupational therapy and occupational science-group is focused on occupation, health and wellbeing. The complexity, meaning and importance of the concept of everyday occupations for people’s health, is the key. The group works to a varying extent at teaching, research and dissemination of our results to users, in the society.

Metastaserande bröstcancer är en ledande dödsorsak bland medelålders kvinnor. Målsättningen med vår forskning är att studera de två mekanismerna för spridning; lymfogen och hematogen, och att karakterisera spridda tumörceller, i förhållande till patienters sjukdomsförlopp i kliniska kohorter. Även synkrona lymfkörtelmetastaser visar tecken på tumörprogression jämfört med primärtumören med betydelsMetastatic breast cancer is a major cause of death in middle-aged women. The aim of our research is studying the two routes of metastatic spread; lymphatic and haematogenous, and characterization of disseminated tumor cells in relation to patients’ outcome in clinical cohorts. Even synchronous lymph node metastases show signs of tumor progression compared to the primary tumor with implication on t

In this study a new type of honeycomb-patterned micro-porous polyester fibre was used to develop good moisture absorption and quick drying properties of woven fabrics. Details of the development and after-finish processes of the fabrics were illustrated. The water transport, vapour transmission and quick dry properties of the seven different end products were also investigated. It was evident that

OBJECTIVE: To deepen the knowledge of frail elderly patients' preferences for participation in medical decision making during hospitalization.METHODS: Qualitative study using content analysis of semi-structured interviews.RESULTS: Patient participation to frail elderly means information, not the wish to take part in decisions about their medical treatments. They view the hospital care system as an
