Breast tomosynthesis (BT) is a new X-ray modality that reconstructs the breast volume in many slices instead of, as in mammography, showing a single 2D projection of the breast. The slice thickness is typically 1 mm for clinically used BT-units. In screening the review of breast images with BT takes two to four times longer than the review of mammography images. In an effort to reduce the review t
Compassion fatigue (CF) in teachers is a novel concept with potentially high relevance in relation to the work-life demands on teachers today, and the associated challenges of long-term well-being and work-life satisfaction for the profession. CF was originally studied in mental health settings and captures the possible adverse effects on professionals’ empathic capacity and ability to care for cl
Two studies were performed in this paper. The first study was a method development examining the possibilities to do a serial extraction of lipids, PCB 153, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) from a single sample. Five different treatments were tested with three replicates from each individual fish. All samples were first freeze-dried
In project RASTEP (RApid Source TErm Prediction) a computerized tool for real time prediction of source terms at a nuclear power plant is developed. The tool consists of two modules where one is a Bayesian belief network (BBN). A BBN consists of connected nodes and each node has a defined conditional probability table (CPT), which contains the probabilities that a node is in its different states g
Tumour deposits are a prognostic factor for overall survival and distant metastasis in lymph node-negative colorectal cancer. However, the current TNM staging system does not account for the presence of tumour deposits in lymph node-positive colorectal cancer, or for the presence of multiple deposits. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic effect of tumour deposit count in patients with coBackgroundTumour deposits are a prognostic factor for overall survival and distant metastasis in lymph node-negative colorectal cancer.

Four compounds, tetradecyl acetate, (Z)‐9‐tetradecenyl acetate, (E)‐11‐tetradecenyl acetate and (Z)‐11‐tetradecenyl acetate were identified from female sex pheromone extracts of Hungarian and Egyptian lima‐bean pod borers (Etiella zinckenella Tr., Lepidoptera: Phycitidae) by gas chromatography with flame ionization (FID) and electroantennographic (EAD) detection. In EAG studies these monounsaturat
Introduction Measure and monitor adverse events (AEs) following hip arthroplasty is challenging. The aim of this study was to create a model for measuring AEs after hip arthroplasty using administrative data, such as length of stay and readmissions, with equal or better precision than an ICD-code based model. Materials and methods This study included 1 998 patients operated with an acute or electi
Objective: An artefact-free electrocardiogram (ECG) is essential during cardiac arrest to decide therapy such as defibrillation. Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) devices cause movement artefacts that alter the ECG. This study analyzes the effectiveness of mechanical CPR artefact suppression filters to restore clinically relevant ECG information. Approach: In total, 495 10 s ECGs were
The rapid expansion of oil palm is a major driver of deforestation and other associated damage to the climate and ecosystem in tropical regions, especially Southeast Asia. It is therefore necessary to precisely detect and monitor oil palm plantations to safeguard the ecosystem services and biodiversity of tropical forests. Compared with optical data, which are vulnerable to cloud cover, the Sentin
Starch granules are an interesting stabilizer candidate for food-grade Pickering emulsions. The stabilizing capacity of seven different intact starch granules for making oil-in-water emulsions has been the topic of this screening study. The starches were from quinoa; rice; maize; waxy varieties of rice, maize, and barley; and high-amylose maize. The starches were studied in their native state, hea
Aim: To determine the importance of different biogeographical processes (vicariance, dispersal, long-distance dispersal and establishment or LDDE) for the current distribution of metalmark moths, a group of small insects, using a time-calibrated molecular tree. Location: Global. Methods: We sampled 104 species of metalmark moths with representatives from all six major biogeographical regions of th
Background: Treatment at stroke units is superior to treatment at other types of wards. The objective of the present study is to determine the effect size of stroke unit care in subgroups of patients with stroke. This information might be useful in a formal priority setting. Methods: All acute strokes reported to the Swedish Stroke Register from 2001 through 2005 were followed until January 2007.
Tvångsvård i form av vård av unga har under 2020 varit ovanligt uppmärksammat i media. Under 2020 blev barnkonventionen också svensk lag. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om barnkonventionens införande som lag påverkat bedömningen av upphörande av vård enligt LVU. Detta görs utifrån en av de viktigaste artiklarna i barnkonventionen, artikel 3 om barnets bästa, samt rätten till familj. I uppsaCare under the Swedish Care of Young Persons Act has during the year 2020 been spoken about in media more than usual. During 2020 the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child entered into force as a Swedish law. The purpose with this thesis is to investigate whether the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as Swedish law has influenced the assessment on termination of care under the Care of Y
The aim for this study was to examine what expectations parents have on the collaboration with their children’s public school in socio-economically disadvantaged areas in Landskrona and how they experience this collaboration. The aim was also to examine if the collaboration gets influenced by their position in the social class system. Using a phenomenological perspective, the study was based on 12
En innovationsprocess ska ta en idé hela vägen från forskning till marknaden. Detta är dock en lång process i vilken många barriärer kan uppstå. För det här examensarbetet har en fältstudie gjorts på ett stort svenskt industriföretag, med syftet att undersöka deras materialinnovationsprocess. De har upplevt att de möter utmaningar när resultaten av en innovation ska överföras från Forskning och UAn innovation process should take an idea all the way from research to the market. However, this is a long process in which many barriers can appear. For this thesis, a case study has been conducted, at a large Swedish industrial manufacturing company, with the purpose to examine their material innovation process. They have experienced challenges when transferring the results of the innovation fr
Introduction: This study attempts to optimize the choice of stationary phase for the separation of lignosulfonate lignin compounds using supercritical fluid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Background: Lignin is a potential renewable source of phenolic compounds. Lignosulfonate lignins are produced during pulping processes producing very complex mixtures, which are challenging to anal
