Total resection of glioblastoma multiform (GBM), the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor, continues to be a challenge. Achieving complete resection is limited by difficulty in intraoperative discrimination between normal and residual tumor cells. This project contributes to the development and evaluation of a fiber-optical based fluorescence/reflectance spectroscopy system as an intra
Ambiguity and controversy abounds the debate over the thousands of people trying to enter the European territory and their rights, especially in their procedural form. This paper explores the latest developments in the context of the European Court of Human Rights’ and the European Court of Justice’s expansive interpretation of the right to an effective remedy and the procedural guarantees afforde
Syftet med foreliggande undersökning var att göra en utvärdering av en preliminär version av ett grammatiskt test som bygger på processabilitetsteorin (Pienemann, 1998) for att se hur väl det fungerar och for att ge forslag till eventuella omarbetningar infor det fortsatta arbetet med testet. Ytterligare ett syfte var att undersöka humvida processabilitetsteorins utvecklingsnivåer går att tillämpa
Rhinosinusitis is the fifth most common diagnosis for which antibiotics are prescribed- but it is often done in vain. Currently, the only way to fully determine whether or not such treatment is actually needed is an invasive procedure. In order to spare patients from the discomfort that it would involve, this essential step is often skipped and instead, antibiotics are prescribed regardless. Using
Wind power developments in cold and icing conditions pose new challenges to the wind power industry. Icing of wind turbines cause safety hazards, production losses and increased loads. This means that there is a need to develop a technique to quantify the icing climatology and corresponding eects on wind turbines to enable large scale wind power developments in the windy, sparesly populated areas
This research proposes that an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the concept of culture and culture change could be beneficial for Sustainable Development. It explores the transferability of the DIKT Learning Model and theory of Creative Populations, originally found in management literature, and applies them to a social change corporation in Medellin, Colombia. The corporation analyzed
Design of a concrete column with biaxial moments and normal force is unpractical without the aid of a computer program. It is very time consuming to go through all calculations and to find a suitable layout of a cross-section and positioning of reinforcement for the final design. The goal of this thesis is to create a user friendly computer program for this problem. A critical pier in the Öland B
The demand for high data rates in a wireless communication system has experienced a remarkable growth over the last years. This demand is continually increasing with the growing number of wirelessly connected devices. Thus, there is a continuing hunt for increasing the data transmission rate in wireless communication systems. To increase the data rate, the modern wireless communication system cann
Though the diffusion of electric vehicle (EV) is high on the global agenda, and there are efforts to speed up the shift: some countries intend to ban the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV), and some OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) have announced the goal of electrification, the diffusion of EV is slowly. Technological innovation theory explains that we need to harmonise tec
This thesis is a conceptual study focused on the relationship between populism and conspiracy theories to see if populism poses a totalitarian threat to democracy. Starting with a discussion on democracy and populism, this thesis examines the relations between conspiracy theories and populism as well as their respective constructions. Thereafter, departing from Hannah Arendt’s book the Origins of
This thesis aims at defining the improvement areas for packaging and logistics of a long shelf-life Danone Nutricia aseptic product. By literature research and interview, the author is able to build a product mapping protocol to define the sensitive components requiring particular concerns on packaging and logistics. This protocol could be implemented in both academic researches and industry proje
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to understand the key managerial challenges associated with Big Data. The research aimed to look at the possible obstacles that managers need to overcome while implementing Big Data. The main research question is : What are the main managerial challenges associated with Big Data and what steps are needed to overcome those? Methodology: Based on the concepts of
The incineration furnace at National Veterinary Institute (SVA) in Uppsala, Sweden, runs approximately 2,150 hours a year and generates a large amount of waste heat. Some of this heat is partially recovered, and is used for heating one of the main buildings during the furnace operation. However, around 2,000 MWh is wasted annually due to unavailability of any storage system. This wasted heat is ap
Peptides are abundant in all living organisms and essential to many cellular functions. For this purpose, peptides are interesting research targets. The chemical moieties and molecules that are involved in peptide interactions and systems, respectively, are intrinsically non-emissive or weakly emissive, which is why researchers have found strategies for labeling peptides. Today, peptides are typic
The striatum is the main input nucleus of the basal ganglia. Striatal subregions, which play different roles in motor functions, receive inputs from different cortical regions. Regulation of synaptic plasticity at the level of corticostriatal synapses is believed to underlie habit formation and motor learning. Alteration of plasticity at the level of corticostriatal synapses has been associated wi
This thesis examines the phenomena of third-party enforcement in public international law, in a historical as well as in a contemporary perspective. To that end, it traces the role of such enforcement measures from the past into the present. It also studies the potential discrepancies between current unilateral sanctions and the recent changes experienced by international law at large. Two legal m
Uppsatsen undersöker den internationella straffrättens förväntningar på ansvarighållandet av företagsledare på individnivå. Vidare utreds huruvida nationell rätt, här svensk rätt i jämförelse med tysk, uppfyller de krav och förväntningar som den internationella straffrätten ställer på nationell reglering. Dessutom syftar uppsatsen till att sätta svensk reglering av medverkansansvar för företagsledThe thesis investigates the expectations of international criminal law on the prosecution of corporate leaders on an international and domestic level for international crimes based on the sources, purposes, and principles guiding international criminal law. Also, this thesis examines whether domestic law, here Swedish, is compliant with the obligations and expectations presented by international c
Syftet med denna studien var att undersöka hur kommunikation som sägs vara icke-stereotypisk framställer genus och utmanar eller reproducerar traditionella stereotyper i reklam. För att studera detta fenomen valdes det svenska företaget Estrid ut, som säger sig kommunicera till alla människor. Genom att studera detta fenomen har studien bidragit med kunskap kring hur visuell kommunikation kan bådeThis paper aimed to investigate how advertising stereotypes can be challenged or reproduced and how gender is performed, in the context of an allegedly non-stereotypical company. In order to investigate this matter, we conducted a multimodal social semiotic analysis of the Swedish company Estrid, whose razor blades are communicated to all humans. By analyzing various semiotic resources, the paper
The body shows impressive control capabilities in terms of the speed and the precision with which movements can be carried out under a wide variety of circumstances. The cerebellum and brainstem nuclei, including the cuneate nucleus, are believed to play a crucial role in this control. If these control mechanisms can be unveiled, this could yield important insights in not only medicine and neuroph
