Execution time is an important issue in the field of numerical analysis. Simulations are getting more and more complex and the execution times are rapidly increasing. In the scope of this thesis a time integration library is used to solve initial value problems. The aim of the thesis is to implement and investigate two different approaches to decrease the execution time for the library. The main f

Title: “We are actually doing this for real”: Organizational identity and identification when CSR is part of the business model Seminar date: 1st of June 2020 Course: BUSN49 Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change Authors: Misha Voss Gustavsson & Olof Skäremo Supervisor: Monika Müller Key words: CSR, sustainable business model, organizational identity & organizational

African exports that end up in other African countries today is less than 20%, a low value compared to that of Europe, Asia and America, all above 50%. However, these intra-African exports are more diversified than African exports reaching other continents. Specifically, it is comprised of higher quality goods that stimulate stronger and more stable economic growth. To capitalize on this, various

Background: Right ventricular (RV) dyssynchrony or post systolic contraction (PSC) causes inefficient pumping and has not been investigated as a prognostic marker in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The objective was to investigate if RV dyssynchrony and PSC are prognostic markers of transplantation-free survival in PAH and if multiple RV views improve prognostication. Methods: Patients with

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a widely used non-invasive method for characterizing NOx emission, mostly in combustion applications, but also in many plasma facilities. Under the carbon-free prerequisite, non-thermal plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) is a promising technology to address the low flammability issues of ammonia (NH3) flames, but nitric oxide (NO) emission remains unknown. NO quan

Background: Multimorbidity is increasing globally, affecting over one-third of the population. Adults with complex needs often experience physical, mental, and cognitive disorders, leading to increased healthcare utilization, reduced quality of life, and social challenges. The frequent co-occurrence of psychiatric conditions, substance abuse, addiction, and homelessness highlights the complexity o

We explored the impact of different radiotherapy (RT) treatment modalities and prescriptions on outcomes for standard risk pediatric medulloblastoma patients (MB-SR). A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. Primary MB-SR patients, aged 3–21 years treated with cranio-spinal axis and tumor boost RT during 1995–2024 were included. Data on progression-free and overall survival outcomes (

BACKGROUND: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a critical role in neuronal development and neural connectivity, and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). However, its predictive value for MDD onset remains unclear. This study examined whether baseline BDNF levels are associated with incident MDD in middle-aged women.MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this

This master thesis has been performed at Kockums AB, where the elements of the process of placing cables have been studied in find ways to develop the work procedure. The purpose of the master thesis is to investigate the process of placing cables at naval ships and identify elements that can be developed to make the process more effective and to present proposals for development of the process. I

Purpose: Previous studies using FLASH radiotherapy (RT) in mice showed a marked increase of the differential effect between normal tissue and tumors. To stimulate clinical transfer, we evaluated whether this effect could also occur in higher mammals. Experimental Design: Pig skin was used to investigate a potential difference in toxicity between irradiation delivered at an ultrahigh dose rate call

Background: The possibility to monitor patient's serum proteome during treatment can provide deepened understanding of the biology associated with response to specific drugs. Non-invasive serum sampling provides an opportunity for sustainable repetitive sampling of patients, which allows for more frequent evaluation of the biological response and enhanced flexibility in treatment selection in cont

Atmospheric aerosols contain organic molecules that serve as cloud condensation nucleation sites and affect the climate. Several experimental and simulation studies have been dedicated to investigate their surface propensity, but the mechanisms that drive them to the water surface are still not fully understood. In this molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study, primary alcohols are considered as a

Background: The outcome for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients has improved with the immunochemotherapy combination R-CHOP. An increased rate of heart failure is well documented following this treatment, whereas incidence and outcome of other cardiac complications, for example myocardial infarction, are less well known. Method: We identified 3548 curatively treated DLBCL patients in Sw

The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) will deliver 30,000 fully coherent, high brilliance X-ray pulses per second each with a duration below 100 fs. This will allow the recording of diffraction patterns of single complex molecules and the study of ultra-fast processes. Silicon pixel sensors will be used to record the diffraction images. In 3 years of operation the sensors will be exposed t

Immunosensors made with nanostructured films are promising for detecting cancer biomarkers, even at early stages of the disease, but this requires control of film architecture to preserve the biological activity of immobilized antibodies. In this study, we used electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to detect Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) with immunosensors produced with layer-by-layer (L

Heart failure is a global health concern whose burden is increasing as our population ages. Early diagnosis and accurate prognosis are critical for improving outcomes, highlighting the need for novel methods that can better identify and elucidate the pathophysiology of heart failure. The cardinal symptom of heart failure is exercise intolerance, yet most cardiac imaging is performed at rest, poten

Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants with increasing implications for human health. While their presence in human tissues is established, the molecular mechanisms driving their potential neurotoxicity remain unclear. This study investigates the impact of polystyrene (PS) on amyloid protein misfolding and cellular metabolism using Optical Photothermal Infrar

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med stigande ålder försvagas våra vävnader. Om bukväggen i ljumsken blir för svag, så kan bukinnehållet pressas ut genom svagheten. Detta kallas för ljumskbråck. Sjukdomen är mycket vanligare hos män och drabbar alla åldrar. Ju äldre man är, desto vanligare att man drabbas av ett ljumskbråck. Man upplever då, framför allt vid ansträngning, en oftast rörlig och ibland smBackground: In the nineties, the patients with inguinal hernias were exposed to several newly developed repair techniques using alloplastic mesh prosthesis. Although the scientific knowledge was limited, the new techniques were rapidly introduced due to surgical enthusiasm, but also by an eagerness to reduce the recurrence rate and to shorten the time to recovery. When the first study of this thes
