An engineer always strive to help in the continuous exploration of the unknown. By doing so we go further out in space and further down in scale. This is the case with microfluidics which in the last years have gotten a lot of attention. This thesis will examine and better try to understand and optimize a fluidic system that uses ultrasonic trapping. Its application may be everything from enrichin

Spatial and temporal variations in malaria transmission are naturally associated with prevailing climatic and environmental factors, for example rainfall, humidity, temperature and human activities. These factors influence malaria transmission mainly in non-deterministic ways, making them less appropriate for accurate geographical mapping of malaria risk. One distinctive phenomenon, ‘photosyntheti

Urban trees have an important role to provide ecosystem services and to make our cities greener and more sustainable. The changing climate and densification of cities make it even more valuable to preserve and investigate in urban trees. Tree canopy detection in cities is challenging, with both trees and other objects of irregular shape, size and complexity. The aerial images from Lantmäteriet (th

Sex hormones, particularly the androgens, are important for the growth of the prostate gland and have been implicated in prostate cancer carcinogenesis, yet the determinants of endogenous steroid hormone levels remain poorly understood. Twin studies suggest a heritable component for circulating concentrations of sex hormones, although epidemiologic evidence linking steroid hormone gene variants to

The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential dose reduction to the heart, left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and the ipsilateral lung for patients treated with tangential and locoregional radiotherapy for left-sided breast cancer with enhanced inspiration gating (EIG) compared to free breathing (FB) using the AAA algorithm. The radiobiological implication of such dose spa

The microbial community in five commercial Pu-erh tea products and one Liu Bao Cha tea were investigated in this study with the aim to search for beneficial live bacteria. Three different treatments were applied for every tea; non-brewed, brewed with and without leaf filtration. The results showed microbial activity in all teas and particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), except in the Liu Bao Cha

For any company with a software development branch, one of the most important aspects is to write maintainable, understandable, high-quality source code. This will result in fewer work hours to refactor the code if changes are needed. Therefore it’s expensive to keep working with source code of poor quality. The question is, how to measure the quality of source code? The writers of this thesis ap

Over the past decade UNFCCC’s climate scheme, “REDD+”, has gained precedence in climate policy spheres; Its immaculate ‘win-win’ solution—to institute a global market- based system for climate change, whereby developed nations pay individual forest users to espouse more sustainable forestry practices—has drawn in the lion’s share of critical debates amongst policymakers, civil society organization

Introduction Data are lacking about the risk for death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), compared to the general population. Therefore, we assessed the risk for all-cause death and MACE after TAVI in patients aged 65 years and older, in comparison to an age- and sex-matched control population. Methods and results In total, 5924 TAV

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 (

The end of what the GDR called “real existierender Sozialismus” in Europe at the beginning of the 1990s dramatically changed the geopolitical situation in Central and Eastern Europe. Five states ceased to exist, whereas 22 new states have been recognized, accompanied by a host of internationally unrecognized states. Nearly half a century of relative stability in Europe was replaced by volatility a

Space activity is rapidly developing, increasing globally in public and private sectors, and subject to competition amongst dominant spacefaring actors. Global space governance is discordant with the contemporary environment motivating international efforts to develop it. Since 2021 the European Union (EU) is intensively developing space policy and strategies. This dissertation contributes to stud

In many countries, the oil and gas industry (OGI) faces a sociotechnical problem related to illegal tapping, a complex phenomenon involving stealing products from pipelines. This study analyses the network constitution to understand and tackle this phenomenon, called ”clandestine diversion” (CD), which is the theft of oil and its derivatives products through illegal tappings of onshore pipelin

With four years left to fulfill the goals of the UN’s Ocean Decade, it has become increasingly important to find solutions for the threats our oceans are currently facing. French Polynesia has the largest marine protected area in the world and relies heavily on tourism for development. Through semi-structured interviews with stakeholders in the tourism industry in Tahiti, I study their role in mar
