Background: MRI physics simulators have been developed in the past for optimizing imaging protocols and for training purposes. However, these simulators have only addressed motion within a limited scope. The purpose of this study was the incorporation of realistic motion, such as cardiac motion, respiratory motion and flow, within MRI simulations in a high performance multi-GPU environment. Method
Background: Attitudes toward diabetes care are different between genders and age-groups. Furthermore, diabetes related challenges may cause psychosocial problems. Therefore, we were to compare the psychosocial status and glycemic control in women and men with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in different age-groups. Methods: 441 adults with T2D were recruited. Demographic, self-care behavior, resources and a
Over the past years type 2 diabetes has become a complex consequence of better economic standards with growing economic and life quality costs. Prevention and deferral of type 2 diabetes through detection and preventive treatment of prediabetes will be crucial. The method of detection is therefore an important part in the prevention of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this essay was to analyze the co
The main focus of this thesis has been to examine and compare how the size and number of internal power transformers affects the technical performance (robustness, power quality and efficiency) of a utility-scale PV plant. The technical performance was examined in a simulation environment (MATLAB Simulink), where a PV plant with a fixed number of PV arrays and converters, corresponding to a rated
I have always been curious about the effects architecture and the built environment have on us. The special atmosphere and the ability to arouse a sense of safety and calmness, but also the negative feelings certain spaces can evoke. Which architectural elements contribute to the way we perceive a space and more importantly, does the built environment not only affect our emotions but also our ment
A growing environmental issue today is the amount plastic pollution in the ocean. To investigate how it might affect marine life, an important aspect is to study how plastics are transported by ocean currents and where it ends up. This can be done by use of Lagrangian simulation of plastic particles in computer ocean models. To improve the quality of the output from such simulations the number of
Semi-natural grasslands in Scandinavia have been created by humans since many millennia ago, but the agricultural intensification in the last few centuries caused them to decline heavily. Accordingly, the biodiversity associated to these open, nutrient-poor habitats declined as well and many remnant populations are slowly declining and threatened to go extinct. In this study, I focused on declin
Climate change and socio-economic developments are projected to intensify land use pressures in northern latitudes, potentially driving agricultural expansion into Arctic and boreal ecosystems. This thesis examines the consequences of future climate and land use change on ecosystem services in the European Arctic, focusing on vegetation dynamics, carbon storage, crop productivity, and biophysical
Dense camera arrays and offline processing are often used for high-quality 3D and 4D scene capture, but such setups are difficult to use as interactive VR content-creation tools. This thesis investigates whether sparse multi-camera capture can be connected to practical reconstruction and visualization workflows for indoor person-centered scenes. A WebUI-controlled system was designed and implement
This study investigates the potential of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, to aid venture capitalists in the screening of startups that maximize sustainability impact. To determine the scope that maximizes impact for venture capitalists' and to identify effective screening criteria, the study utilized theoretical research and interviews. The thesis suggests that the ideal investme
The success of a company increasingly depends on the efficiency and effectiveness on its activities along the product life cycle. In the effort of optimizing its activities, companies must integrate themselves. Due to the significance packaging has within many of these activities, it is of utmost importance to integrate product and packaging development activities in order to optimize processes.
Ever-increasing global water shortages necessitate more advanced and cost-effective water purification methods. Herein, a novel slow filtration system using natural raw zeolite is proposed as an alternative to traditional quartz sand as a filter medium. The system demonstrates excellent performance in reducing turbidity and removing methylene blue (MB). The natural zeolite-based filtration system
Long-span floors are particularly sensitive to footfall-induced vibrations, making their analysis and design critical for ensuring occupant comfort. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels have high stiffness relative to their self-weight and are commonly made of spruce. Hardwoods such as birch and beech possess higher stiffness and mass density, which can potentially improve the vibrational performan
Introduction: The current study aimed to investigate the rates of anxiety, clinical depression, and suicidality and their changes in health professionals during the COVID-19 outbreak. Materials and methods: The data came from the larger COMET-G study. The study sample includes 12,792 health professionals from 40 countries (62.40% women aged 39.76 ± 11.70; 36.81% men aged 35.91 ± 11.00 and 0.78% no
Introduction: Patients with substantial comorbidity burden are underrepresented in clinical trials on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), despite being common in clinical routine care. Therefore, analysis of observational data is needed to evaluate how increasing comorbidity burden affects procedural success rate, complication rate, and clinical outcome following EVT. Patients and methods: We conduct
This study extends the Theory of Planned Behavior by incorporating moral norms and environmental concerns to investigate factors influencing tourists’ biodiversity conservation behaviors in ecologically sensitive destinations. The extended TPB model examines environmental attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, moral norms, and environmental concerns. Using a mixed-method approa
Background: Postoperative management after surgery for perforated peptic ulcer is still burdened by old traditions. All available data for fast-track recovery in this setting are either very unspecific or underpowered. The aim of this study was to evaluate fast-track recovery in this diagnosis-specific context in a larger sample. Methods: Electronic data sources were searched. Eligible studies wer
