Background: To identify subjects with rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques before thrombotic events occur is an unmet clinical need. Thus, this proof-of-concept study aims to determine which rupture-prone plaque features can be detected using clinically available photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT). Methods: In this retrospective study, advanced atherosclerotic plaques (ex vivo, paraffin-e

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with reduced cardiac output, which is correlated with increased symptomatic burden and declined quality of life. Predicting haemodynamic effects of AF remains challenging because of the complex interplay of multiple contributing mechanisms. Computational modelling offers a valuable tool for simulating haemodynamics. However, existing models are lacking the ca

Carbon dioxide expanded liquids (CXLs) is a relatively recent type of solvent used in separation processes such as extraction. It combines the benefits of high solubility in the organic liquid with enhanced mass transfer mediated by the compressed CO2. In this work, we investigate the solubility of curcumin in CO2-expanded ethanol and for this purpose an equipment setup was built and used for expe

Purpose: In the literature there is limited knowledge about how to prepare students for a corporate entrepreneurial career. The purpose is therefore to develop a framework for understanding the role corporate development projects play in corporate entrepreneurship education, and to examine the potential role of the design of the project. The study defines a corporate development project as a proje

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a large network of connected devices. In IoT, devices can communicate with each other or back-end systems to transfer data or perform assigned tasks. Communication protocols used in IoT depend on target applications but usually require low bandwidth. On the other hand, IoT devices are constrained, having limited resources, including memory, power, and computational

Non-bee pollinators (NBP) are a group of species with very diverse ecology. Indeed, they inhabitvarious habitats, using these as nesting sites, for shelter, as source of food and as huntingground for prey. Depending on the life stage of species, NBPs can inhabit different areas andtheir overall contribution to pollination can be diverse. For example, adult butterflies mainlyforage on nectar, where

We consider the fundamental problem of assigning distinct labels to agents in the probabilistic model of population protocols. Our protocols operate under the assumption that the size n of the population is embedded in the transition function. Their efficiency is expressed in terms of the number of states utilized by agents, the size of the range from which the labels are drawn, and the expected n

A number of policy instruments are used in order to provide consumers healthy products produced in a proper way as regards environmental impacts. The policy instruments are mainly directed to enterprises and companies producing products. Such actors are often addressed in terms of laws or regulations and represents different actors in a production chain. Policy instruments and the way they are use

The overall aim of this thesis is to examine how walking as a transport mode is constructed in the planning realm, affected by the built environment and perceived by the individual. This aim is related to the following research questions: (1) How are pedestrians and walking understood, constructed and perceived in the planning context? (2) How does individual traits and the built environment affec

Religion is particularly important in times of crises; it is commonly linked to the search for meaning behind disasters and it promotes a social interconnectedness. After a disaster, religious beliefs can give the survivors a sense of control. Rituals and ceremonies have proved to have healing capacities both individually and collectively. The focus of this paper is on religion in the recovery pro

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine to what extent the dramatic work of Bernard-Marie Koltès could serve as a basis for ethical reflections. The main object of the study is Koltès' construction of his characters by certain narrative techniques embedded in the dramatic structure and energizing the interpersonal conflicts. By telling their past and expressing their future prospects, the p

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med magnetkamera (magnetresonans, MR) kan utmärkt morfologisk information erhållas men tekniken är även användbar för funktionella studier. En funktionell tillämpning är att mäta perfusion (kapillära blodflöden). Perfusionsrelaterad information kan åskådliggöras på flera sätt med MR, ofta via signalförändringar orsakade av spårämnen eller kontrastmedel i blodet. Den teThe studies presented in this thesis concern the optimisation and evaluation of the dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) technique for the assessment of perfusion-related parameters of the brain, such as cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV) and mean transit time (MTT). Several methodological factors influence these measurements, for example, contra

An LTE-enabled smartphone is a software-defined radio system that must cover a large number of frequency bands with different duplex differences. A proposed adaptive wideband duplexer needs a circulator to create the required initial isolation. To replace this an LC-based tunable low-isolation device is presented in this paper, providing the required tuning range for LTE Band I, II, III and VII. T

Introduction: Traditionally, the academic librarian has served as an information specialist working in close professional contact with researchers to provide support in the process of scientific investigation. When the Internet entered the academic world, the belief emerged that researchers could handle information on their own. Thus, the value of personal professional interaction between the acad

This thesis is a quantitative study of accounting compliance and audit costs in Swedish municipal organisations, consisting of four papers. Three of the papers explore factors that explain accounting compliance concerning financial reporting and revenue recognition in Swedish municipal water, sewerage and solid waste management organisations. The fourth paper explores the determinants of professio

Buffer management for biopharmaceutical purification processes include buffer preparation, storage of buffers and restocking the buffers when needed. This is usually performed manually by the operators for small scale operations. However, buffer management can become a bottleneck when running integrated continuous purification processes for prolonged times, even at small scale. To address this iss

Abstract: In order to mimic physical characteristics of solid fat, ethylcellulose (EC) was used as an oleogelator in ice creams made with high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO). The aim was to improve structure of ice cream made with fully liquid vegetable oil by inhibiting droplet coalescence and to enable a colloidal fat network by making the oil droplets solid-like. Two different methods for incorpora

Universities are increasingly being seen as a positive vehicle for territorial development and regional transformation, with an important role in enhancing Social, Economic and Sustainable Development of territories. The world’s sustainability challenges are listed in the United Nation’s Agenda 2030, that includes Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as actors that can work in partnership with oth
