Laser-induced fluorescence is a clinical diagnostic tool, used for tumor demarcation and detection. The technique relies on the injection or topical application of a light sensitive drug called a photosensitizer. This substance has the ability to be accumulated to higher concentrations in cancer cells than in normal cells. This accumulation procedure takes from a few hours to several days, dependin

This paper seeks to provide an overview of how companies assess and manage security risks in practice. For this purpose we referred to data of security surveys to examine the scope of risk analysis and to identify involved entities in this process. Our analysis shows a continuous focus on data system security rather than on real world organizational context as well as a prevalent involvement of to

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förståelsen av klimatets naturliga variation och dess förändring i regional skala är av grundläggande betydelse för planering och skötsel av ett hållbart samhälle. Nederbörden är en av huvudkomponenterna i den hydrologiska cykeln och har betydande inverkan på såväl vattentillgång som risker för tex översvämningar. I framtiden förväntas nederbördsmängderna öka i norra EuThis thesis focusses on the spatial distribution of precipitation within Scania and on its relation with large-scale climate. The spatial distribution of Scanian precipitation was analysed using a dense rain-gauge network of daily measurements. The performance of the Rossby Centre regional Atmospheric model in simulating the observed spatial distribution was evaluated. The influence of the regiona

The explosive popularization of personal computers during the last decade, along with the appearance of the World Wide Web and of high-level programming techniques, has opened many new and exciting opportunities in the field of education. In this chapter, a review of existing types of multimedia material used in education and of some of the authoring tools used in the production of this material i

Oldtidens og middelalderens litteratur – i skandinaviske oversættelser är en bibliografi över översättningar till danska, norska och svenska av de antika och medeltida litteraturerna. Den har som ambition att samla samtliga översättningar tryckta efter 1500 av grekisk, romersk, och övrig europeisk litteratur skriven före 1500, tillsvidare med undantag för bibliska texter. I sin nuvarande form tä

Popular Abstract in English In May 1619, the Finnish astrologer Sigfridus Aronus Forsius (d. 1624) was examined by clerical authorities. In the verdict, astrology was rejected as a pagan craft, forbidden for any Christian. Yet still astrology was inseparable from the scholarly conception of the world. The principles of astral influence were more or less self-evident in physical theory and in medicThe purpose of this thesis is to analyse a displacement of the limits between allowable and illicit knowledge in the orthodox, Lutheran discourse of early modern Sweden. Focusing on the debate over astrology, exemplified in the works of Laurentius Paulinus Gothus (1565-1646) and Sigfridus Aronus Forsius (d. 1624), the thesis aims to challenge the view of how the Reformation, regarded as a prelimin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Helkroppsinnehållet av radioaktivt cesium mättes regelbundet hos en grupp individer bosatta i Lund med omnejd mellan åren 1960 och 1994. I denna avhandling presenteras en utvärdering av resultaten från denna mätserie. Ekologisk halveringstid och överföring från markbeläggning till människa via livsmedel har bestämts genom analys av den genomsnittliga helkroppsinnehålletThe whole-body content of radiocaesium was measured in a South-Swedish urban group of people residing in the city of Lund (55.7°N, 13.2°E) between 1960 and 1994. The results from the survey have been analysed in order to estimate the ecological half-time, Teco,eff, of fallout radiocaesium and the aggregate transfer from ground deposition to man in the region. After 1987, the biological half-times,

Families of asymptotically regular LDPC block code ensembles can be formed by terminating (J, K)-regular protograph-based LDPC convolutional codes. By varying the termination length, we obtain a large selection of LDPC block code ensembles with varying code rates and substantially better iterative decoding thresholds than those of (J, K)-regular LDPC block code ensembles, despite the fact that the

In this paper a dialectic complexity framework is presented and reflected upon. The purpose of the framework is to guide researchers and practitioners in rethinking and reframing underlying assumptions, and address how these have a possible influence and impact on researchers’ and practitioners’ processes of making sense, understanding, explaining, improving etc. aspects of different types of issu
