CONTEXT: Prostate cancer is a molecularly heterogeneous disease that is amenable to diagnostic testing to identify patients potentially eligible for personalised treatments inform familial risk and provide relevant information about potential prognosis. Several guidelines support the integration of genomic testing in a shared decision-making framework so that both health care professionals (HCPs)

To receive support from social services in one’s own home is a major life course transition for the client in need of help. But this is also a life changing transition for cohabitating partners, whose home is transformed to a workplace where staff come and go. Partners' perspectives have received a lot of attention in social work, but almost exclusively based on their relationship with the primary

Background and aims Symptoms of dizziness and pain are both common complaints and the two symptoms often seem to coincide. When symptoms appear concomitant for sustained periods of time the symptoms might maintain and even exacerbate each other, sometimes leading to psychological distress. In order to evaluate such comorbidity we studied patients referred to a vestibular unit and to a psychiatric

Människan har drömt om liv bortanför jorden, även innan upptäckten av den första exoplaneten runt en solliknande stjärna år 1995. Idag, med över 5600 bekräftade exoplaneter, är möjligheterna om liv på en annan planet bortom vår fantasi. Men innan vi ens försöker förstå oss på utomjordiskt liv, så måste vi förstå vad dessa planeter består av. Planeter och deras världsstjärnor är sammankopplade då dExoplanets and their host stars are intrinsically related as they form from the same accretion disc, and are therefore expected to have similar chemical composition. Thus, knowing the composition of exoplanet host stars is important for developing planetary formation and migration theories. There has been a recent uptick in studies of ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres as their orbital configurations p

The pulmonary route has emerged as a promising strategy for delivering protein therapeutics, particularly for patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary infections. This project investigated the effect of operating parameters of a laboratory spray dryer on the characteristics of powders composed of Bovine Serum Albumin

Denna studie ämnar att redogöra potentialen för energigemenskaper i Näsby, Kristianstad. Detta utreds i arbetet genom att undersöka om lokalnätet kan avlastas, samt om elnätskunderna kan erhålla kostnadsbesparingar. Rapporten är ett examensarbete för en civilingenjörsexamen i maskinteknik på Lunds Tekniska Högskola, och utförs tillsammans med C4 Energi AB. Studien omfattar en litteraturstudie som The aim of this study is to examine the potential of energy communities in Näsby, Kristianstad, and more specifically the values they may provide the involved parties. This report is a Master’s thesis written at Lunds Tekniska Högskola, in collaboration with C4 Energi AB. The study involves a literature study with the purpose of determining in what form an energy community could be constructed in

I takt med att andelen variabel förnybar energi ökar i det svenska elsystemet krävs nya lösningar för att hantera utmaningar kopplade till intermittens, nätstabilitet och ekonomisk lönsamhet. Batterilagringssystem (BESS) lyfts fram som en av de mest lovande lösningarna för att möta dessa utmaningar. Detta examensarbete undersöker den tekniska och ekonomiska genomförbarheten av att integrera BESS mAs the share of variable renewable energy (VRE) increases in the Swedish electricity system, new solutions are needed to address challenges related to intermittency, grid stability, and economic viability. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have been identified as one of the most promising solutions to meet these challenges. This master’s thesis investigates the technical and economic feasibili

— Infektioner i blodomloppet är en livshotande diagnos som kräver snabb behandling. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt hur diagnostiska modeller kan förbättras med hjälp av maskininlärningsbaserade prediktionsmetoder. Det långsiktiga målet är att bidra till utvecklingen av kliniska stödverktyg som kan förkorta svarstider och bidra till en minskad användning av antibiotika. — Infektioner i bloThis thesis explores the application of machine learning techniques to improve the diagnosis of bloodstream infections (BSIs) using tabular data extracted from Swedish electronic health records maintained by Region Skåne. BSIs are associated with high mortality rates, especially when diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Traditional diagnostic methods like blood cultures are time-consuming and can

User Equipment (UE) grouping entails categorizing multiple UEs, including mobile phones or smart devices, according to defined criteria. It provides valuable insights for applications to optimize network resources, enhance handover procedures, and improve user experience. This study investigates UE grouping in a Fifth Generation (5G) Time Division Duplex (TDD) system based on Uplink (UL) Sounding

Våren 2024 röstades ett omdebatterat lagförslag igenom i den svenska riksdagen. Under juli 2025 ersätts lag (1972:119) om fastställande av könstillhörighet i vissa fall – könstillhörighetslagen – med en ny. Den nya lagen reducerar rådande 18-årsgräns för det juridiska könsbytet; 16-åringar ska ges möjlighet att ta beslut i frågan, med vårdnadshavares medgivande. Under det senaste decenniet har fIn the spring of 2024, a contentious legislative proposal was voted through in the Swedish parliament. In July 2025 the gender recognition act will be replaced. The new law will reduce the age limit for the right to change legal gender from 18 to 16 years of age, with the consent of the guardians of the youth concerned. Over the last decade, several initiatives have been raised with the objective

AIM: We investigate if merged gridded satellite rainfall products (CHIRPS, MSWEP, or SUPER), used with the HYPE hydrological model, can replace limited rain gauge measurements when modelling streamflow in poorly gauged basins. Three research questions frame this aim: (1) How does the HYPE hydrological model perform in a poorly gauged basin? (2) Which rainfall product performs better (CHIRPS, MSWEP

Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections and bladder distension are common and preventable adverse events. This study presents a process evaluation of a bladder bundle, designed to change healthcare professionals’ way of thinking and acting to prevent these adverse events, using theories of organizational culture, leadership, and an integrated knowledge translation approach. Aim: T

Monoclinic β-Ga2O3 films grown on c-plane sapphire have been shown to exhibit six (201 ¯ )-oriented domains, which are equally spaced by rotation around the surface normal and equally sized by volume that render the film optical response effectively uniaxial. We derive and discuss an optical model suitable for ellipsometry data analysis of such films. We model mid- and far-infrared ellipsometry da

This study examines a policy conflict in Sweden regarding the management of post-consumer waste wood, arising from the conflicting objectives of the European Union’s Waste Framework Directive (WFD) and the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). While the WFD prioritizes material recycling and reuse, Sweden’s current practice, directing approximately 90% of its waste wood to energy recovery through wast

For the development of a joint European capacity for monitoring CO2 emissions, we created the framework “CO2 Monitoring Challenges City Mapbooks v1.0” (CMC-CITYMAP). It includes a Jupyter notebook tool (Storm et al., 2025a, https://doi.org/10.18160/P8SV-B99F) which we use to characterise and cluster cities based on aspects relevant for different CO2 monitoring challenges. These include:a. determin
