PURPOSE: Dynamic glucose-enhanced (DGE) MRI relates to a group of exchange-based MRI techniques where the uptake of glucose analogues is studied dynamically. However, motion artifacts can be mistaken for true DGE effects, while motion correction may alter true signal effects. The aim was to design a numerical human brain phantom to simulate a realistic DGE MRI protocol at 3T that can be used to as

In this paper I discussed the garden of justice as a physical and social space in which law and morality become manifest. My point of departure was a number of sites like the park Ørstedsparken in Copenhagen, which are, or have been, spaces where homosexual men meet up to have sex. The use of these outdoor spaces as cruising areas connects to the idea of the garden as a space which affords the op

Det är vanligt förekommande att fysiska och juridiska personer vill minska sin beskattning. Det finns stor variation i förfaringssätt som medför minskad beskattning. Denna uppsats undersöker om dubbel skattefrihet kan uppstå vid hemvistbyte. Dubbel skattefrihet innebär att varken den nya eller tidigare hemviststaten beskattar personen. På så sätt blir vissa inkomster skattefria. Det har tidigare fIt is common that physical and legal entities want to reduce their taxation, and there are several processes available. This paper examines whether double exemption of tax can arise when changing residence. Double non-taxation means that neither the new nor previous state of residence will tax that entity. Some income will therefore be excluded from taxation. Such a process has previously been pos

Innovation is a dynamic process that has been extensively studied by researchers across different fields: a variety of frameworks and mental models have been produced as a result of efforts to measure and manage innovations. However, despite its obvious importance to the success of an innovation process, the “culture” of innovation remains an uninvestigated “black box”. Our thesis examines the com

Problem – Despite supply chain flexibility is recognized as a competitive advantage in today’s business, and supply chain information system is one of the most critical tool to facilitate flexibility. There is no consensus or comprehensive description on how information system tailor with and work on supply chain flexibility to achieve better dynamic capability. Most of literatures mainly focus on

I takt med en utveckling mot en mer komplicerad brottslighet har fler brott blivit svårare att utreda och lagföra. Det föreligger därmed ett behov av att öka effektiviteten i brottmålsprocessen. I detta sammanhang har åtalsuppgörelser blivit ett alltmer omdiskuterat ämne. Uppsatsen utreder huruvida åtalsuppgörelser bör införas i svensk rätt i syfte att effektivisera brottmålsprocessen. Sverige harDue to a trend towards a more complicated criminality, several crimes have become more difficult to investigate and prosecute. There is therefore a need to increase the efficiency of the criminal proceedings. Plea bargaining has become an increasingly discussed subject in this context. The aim of the thesis is therefore to investigate whether plea bargaining should be introduced in Swedish law in

Anonyma vittnen har under längre tid figurerat i den juridiska sfären som en åtgärd mot gängkriminalitet och tystnadskulturen som ett framväxande fenomen. Som bakgrund gäller en allmän vittnesplikt i Sverige, vilket innebär att gemene man förväntas ställa upp i vittnesmål som ett led i upprätthållandet av vårt rättssamhälle. Vidare innebär EKMRs artikel 6, rätten till rättvis rättegång en begränsnAnonymous witnesses have more recently been a topic for discussion in the legal sphere in Sweden as a measure against gang crime and an emerging phenomenon known as silence culture, referring to an unwillingness to cooperate with law enforcement based on fear of repercussions. Individuals are, regardless of other circumstances, expected to testify as a part of maintaining an overall sense of justi

Att jag intresserar mig för stranden som plats för mitt examensarbete är kanske inte så konstigt. Som vågsurfare har jag tillbringat mycket tid på stranden och ute bland vågorna. Genom surfingen har jag upplevt många olika kuststräckor och vågor på jorden, men just stranden och surfingen i Sverige har fångat mitt intresse. Här är årstidernas förändringar och havets stormar de största utmaningarna,It is not that surprising that I chose the beach as the subject of my thesis. As a surfer, I have spent a lot of time on the beach and among the waves. Through surfing I have experienced a wide variety of coastlines around the world, but the beaches of Sweden have peaked my interest. The changing of the seasons and the ocean´s storms are the biggest challenges here for a surfer, not the size of th

Today, package has more obligations than just protecting the product. Consumers see the product and package as an integrated part and requires luxurious and prestigious package in order to attract them. This has forced companies to improve their package design to be able to sell their products. Both companies and consumers use it for different reasons but the visibility on the shelf remains the sa

With a fuel consumption of up to 150 tons a day for a containership, fuel cost is the main expense for shippers. To decrease expenses, drag reduction is the most important topic to address. The biggest factor that influence the hydrodynamics of a vessel is marine fouling. A heavily fouled ship can consume an additional 40 % of fuel or more. The process of marine fouling is an extremely diverse and

Minskade friktionsförluster har blivit föremål för omfattande forskning och utveckling inom bilindustrin. Som ett led i detta har förspänning av pinjonglager i relation till driftstempertur studerats i ett examensarbete på uppdrag av BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems. Resultatet är anmärkningsvärt och motiverar fortsatt konstruktionsarbete. Alla känner nog till att bilen är en riktig miljöbov men fThis report is the written result of a Master Thesis conducted at the Division of Machine Design at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The project has been carried out in collaboration with BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems (TTS) AB in Landskrona. The car industry is growing vastly and thereby the associated levels of CO2 emissions. Extensive and sharpened regulations are continuously b

Patentet utgör en immateriell rättighet som innebär en ensamrätt för innehavaren att nyttja innovationen under en viss tidsperiod. Den som kränker denna ensamrätt gör sig skyldig till patentintrång. En stor del av patenträtten, och kanske det viktigaste ur patenthavarens perspektiv, är det skydd som patentet ställer upp för ensamrätten. Härtill hör patentlagens civil­ och straffrättsliga sanktionsA patent is an intellectual property conferring the owner a sole right to use the invention for a period of time, in which violation results in an infringement. A vital part of patent law, and perhaps the most important one from the perspective of the patentee, is the protection of the sole right. This includes the civil and penal infringement sanctions. In order for a protection to work efficient

Building sustainable, collaborative solutions to contemporary sustainability challenges requires a new generation of future professionals or ‘change-agents,’ the engagement of non-academic stakeholders, and academic facilitation. Educational reform is needed in order to enhance students’ competencies in becoming effective sustainability professionals. Effective collaborative platforms have the pot

Asylärendena kännetecknas av vissa unika särdrag. Till dessa kan räknas den enskildes ofta prekära situation, och att beslutsfattaren ska ta ställning till huruvida den sökande befinner sig i en situation i vilken denne är berättigad internationellt skydd undan förföljelser eller inte. Även maktförhållandet parterna emellan stärker behovet av försiktighet från beslutsfattarens sida. För att hanterThe asylum process is characterised by certain unique features. Amongst these are the precarious situation of the applicant, and the fact that the decision maker is to decide whether or not the applicant is in a situation that entitles him or her to international protection. The balance of power between the two parties is also a key feature that strengthens the need of caution by the decision make

So far, the Standard Model (SM) has been very successful in describing non-gravitational interactions of fundamental particles. However, many of its theoretical and experimental shortcomings remain unresolved. In collider searches, Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) signatures are expected to manifest themselves as localised excesses of events in the invariant mass lineshape of their decay products.

Access to financing for women entrepreneurs plays a fundamental role in the creation and development of their startups. Our study found that women founders, specifically within tech startups, face barriers and challenges when searching for and navigating different types of financing options. There is a gap in the literature regarding gender disparities in entrepreneurial finance and limitations of

The escalating concerns surrounding climate change have intensified the focus on the renewable energy market, with initiatives aimed at energy security, CO2 emissions reduction, and sustainability. Wind turbines, considered a key component of renewable energy solutions, have seen significant investment growth globally. However, challenges persist, including the environmental impact of construction

Inom samhällsplanering har den tekniska utvecklingen medfört att digitala modeller kan användas inom planering av städer och samhällen. Mycket arbete och forskning har fokuserat på digitalisering av stadsmodeller, för att skapa så kallade digitala tvillingar. Digitala tvillingar är digitala kopior som kan användas för att planera och simulera åtgärder i till exempel en stad eller stadsdel. Något sThe digitalisation of processes in societal planning has increased the need for a more standardised approach to the visualisation of geographic information. In recent years a lot of progress has been made with regards to digital models of cities and societies. However, this does not apply to underground data and models to the same extent. The overall objective of this report is to identify areas o
