Direct-to-Device (D2D) communication in Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) enables smartphones to connect directly to satellites, extending wireless coverage beyond terrestrial networks. This thesis presents the design of a smartphone antenna optimized for NTN operation, followed by a link budget analysis and Electromagnetic Field (EMF) exposure assessment. The proposed solution is a dual-band circu
OBJECTIVE: Avacopan (AVAC), an oral selective C5a receptor inhibitor, has been approved for treatment in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Outside randomized controlled studies, real-world data are scarce. The aim of this study was to provide further insight into the clinical experience of AVAC.METHOD: We analysed data from 16 patients with severe AAV include
Accurate mapping of earthquake-damaged buildings is essential for rapid post-disaster assessment and urban recovery planning. Very high-resolution (VHR) satellite imagery enables large-scale geospatial damage detection; however, conventional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) often struggle to model complex spatial dependencies and nonlinear damage patterns efficiently. To address these limitati
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030) promotes shared responsibility as a foundational principle for effective disaster governance, emphasizing the involvement of states, communities, private actors, and civil society. However, the principle faces criticism for its conceptual vagueness and practical limitations. This paper develops and applies a structured four-dimensional f
Summary: Existing approaches to modelling antibody concentration data are mostly based on finite mixture models that rely on the assumption that individuals can be divided into 2 distinct groups: seronegative and seropositive. Here, we challenge this dichotomous modelling assumption and propose a latent variable modelling framework in which the immune status of each individual is represented along
Previous research underscores the importance of addressing biodiversity loss within environmental justice, introducing the concept of multi-species justice (MSJ) to recognise the rights and agency of non-human species. Despite its theoretical foundation, practical applications of MSJ remain underexplored. This paper contributes to operationalising MSJ in climate adaptation by exploring barriers to
Cancer är en otrevlig sjukdom, som drabbar många människor. Man söker ständigt nya och bättre sätt att bota patienter eller åtminstone lindra sjukdomens framfart. Ett vanligt sätt att behandla cancer är med strålning. Strålningen kan bestå av sk fotoner. Fotoner är samma slags partiklar som t.ex. vanligt ljus. Skillnaden är att de fotoner som används vid strålbehandling av cancer har högre energi "Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether inversely planned intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), using the clinical radiotherapy equipment at hand in our department, renders any advantages regarding dose distribution over conventional radiotherapy for head and neck cancer patients in the ARTSCAN (Accelerated RadioTherapy of Squamous cell Carcinoma in the head And Nec
Detta arbete handlar om en behandlingsteknik för hudterapi där lågenergetiska elektroner utnyttjas för strålbehandling där patienten står eller sitter på en roterande plattform. För att behandlingen skall få ett lyckat resultat krävs en viss stråldos (den absorberade energin per massenhet) till patientens hud. För att kontrollera att dosen är rätt används normalt mätningar med olika detektorer. DeBackground and purpose: This study refers to a rotational radiotherapy technique for the treatment of mycosis fungoides. Patients are irradiated by a high dose-rate low-energy electron beam while they stand on a rotating platform. This report presents a first effort to use the Geant4 simulation program to calculate the relation between the stationary and rotational depth dose distributions in an e
UNICEF reports and daily newspaper reports suggest that street children are excluded from existing child rights facilities in Bangladesh. To examine the situation of social exclusion of street children, this paper examined the development policies for children in Bangladesh to understand how the existing policies can protect street children‟s rights and how they could enjoy country‟s currently ava
Dividing complex systems into smaller components that are easier for humans to comprehend and manage, is a wide spread method in software design. As systems grow more complex, the task of solving the different dependencies and constrictions of the various components in a system, and create a stable and valid composition naturally also gains complexity. Various tools have been constructed to manage
Behovet av effektiviseringar för lagföringen av personer som har begått brott har länge diskuterats framförallt ur ett effektiviserings perspektiv men även ur ett processekonomiskt perspektiv. Stora och komplicerade mål skapar långa och resurskrävande utredningar som dessutom låter den misstänkte sväva i ovisshet under en lång tid. Ett förslag som har diskuterats men som än så länge avskrivits äThe need to make the process in which persons who have committed crimes are brought to justice has long been discussed from a efficiency perspective but also from a process economical perspective. Large and complicated cases create long and costly investigations and also make the suspects linger in uncertainty for a long time. One alternative that has been discussed but so far discarded is the i
A whole genome scan to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for persistency of milk yield (PMY), persistency of fat yield (PFY), persistency of protein yield (PPY) and persistency of milk energy yield (PEY) was performed in a granddaughter design in the German Holstein dairy cattle population. The analysis included 16 paternal half-sib families with a total of 872 bulls. The analysis was carried out
Twenty paternal half-sib families of a granddaughter design were genotyped for 265 genetic markers, most of them microsatellites. These were 16 Holstein families, 3 Simmental families, and 1 Brown Swiss family. The number of sires per breed was 872, 170, and 32, respectively. Two-point recombination rates were estimated both jointly for all breeds and each single breed separately. Of 1168 marker i

This paper critically examines Rwanda’s Gender Strategy for the Mining Sector through the lenses of Bacchi’s What is the Problem Represented to be (WPR) approach and feminist political ecology (FPE) concepts. Against the backdrop of Rwanda’s post-genocide development journey, the study investigates how gender (in)equality is problematised, (re)presented, and promoted within the context of res
Ecosocialist theorists increasingly call for nationalisation programmes to nationalise fossil fuel industry giants in order to orchestrate a just transition on a timetable compatible with pulling the emergency brake on climate collapse. Yet few such programmes exist. Synthesising utopian- and eco-socialist theoretical frameworks, this thesis uses class conflict informed participatory backcasting t
Denna kandidatuppsats handlar om den förtäckta värdeöverföringen, ett ämne som genererat en omfattande diskussion inom rättsvetenskapen. Begreppet förtäckt värdeöverföring återfinns inte i ABL. Lagtexten definierar emellertid en förtäckt värdeöverföring i 17 kap. 1 § 1 st. 4 p. ABL som ”någon annan affärshändelse som medför att bolagets förmögenhet minskar och inte har rent affärsmässig karaktär fThis bachelor thesis deals with the disguised value transfer, a topic that has generated extensive discussion within legal science. The term disguised value transfer is not found in the Swedish Companies Act. However, the legislation defines a disguised value transfer in Chapter 17, Section 1, Subsection 1, p. 4 of the Companies Act as “another business event as a consequence of which the company’
