Background. For breathing adapted radiotherapy, the same motion monitoring system can be used for imaging and triggering of the accelerator. Purpose. To evaluate a new technique for prospective gated computed tomography (CT) and four-dimensional CT (4DCT) using a laser based surface scanning system (Sentinel(™), C-RAD, Uppsala, Sweden). The system was compared to the AZ-733V respiratory gating sys

Managua has experienced two devastating earthquakes during the last century resulting in major human loss. The destruction in the earthquake of 1972 was particularly severe in defined areas of the city, including the former city centre, which is now unused terrain. This may have been because of amplification in those areas due to impedance contrasts and resonance effects in the surface layers. Th

This essay is a comparison of the American and the Swedish labor law systems regarding the right to strike. American unions generally have a tougher time than Swedish unions to get by. Not only do they have to fight the employers, the federal government does not give much support either and the union dislike is widely spread amongst the population. This goes back all the way to the beginning of th

In order to store radioactive waste its contents need to be known. Determining radioactive waste can be achieved by different means. The most common method is using a detector to measure the gamma photons produced by the radionuclides in the waste. A widely used method is Segmented Gamma Scanning, in which the waste package is rotated in front of a detector and then raised to the next vertical seg

Integrated reporting is an approach to corporate reporting that seeks to integrate significant financial and non-financial information and demonstrate how they are connected to each other. By doing so, integrated reporting is expected to lead to integrated thinking and decision-making, reflecting how an organisation impacts and is impacted by the economic, social and environmental context in which

I takt med att förflyttningarna över gränserna ökar blir fall av olovligt bortförande och kvarhållande av barn allt vanligare. Med olovligt bortförande av barn menas att en förälder tar barnet till ett annat land så att den andre föräldern inte längre kan ta del av vårdnaden om barnet. Med olovligt kvarhållande menas främst att en förälder olovligt håller kvar barnet i ett land efter utgången av eAs the movements across the borders increase, so do the wrongful removals and retentions of children. Wrongful removals mean that a parent takes the child to another country so that the other parent no longer can take part in the custody of the child. Wrongful retention mean that a parent wrongfully retains the child after the expiration of the access right. The general rule in these cases is that

Entreprenader löper stor risk att utsättas för hinder som medför att den avta-lade kontraktstiden inte kan hållas. Det kan exempelvis handla om extrema väderförhållanden som försvårar arbetet, eller arbetsområden som inte är tillgängliga för entreprenören på grund av en sidoentreprenör. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda frågan om när ett hinder kan anses bero på beställaren, eller något förDuring the course of construction, there is a high risk of events that cause delays for the contractor. These events can for example con¬sist of extreme weather conditions that are obstructing the construction works, or the work area being occupied by sub-contractors. This thesis aims to investigate un¬der what conditions the contractor can be given extension of time and/or compensation for prolon

Det kan hävdas att multinationella företag undviker ansvar för mänskliga rättighetskränkningar på grund av otillräcklig nationell reglering så väl som folkrättsliga bestämmelser. Denna uppsats har därmed utformat tre syften: först ämnar uppsatsen att undersöka i vilken utsträckning staters skyldighet för att skydda mänskliga rättigheter kan minska företags straffrihet för mänskliga rättighetskränkIt has been argued that multinational corporations benefit from impunity when it comes to human rights violations due to inadequate corporate regulation in host states as well on the international level. Thus, there are three purposes of this thesis: first to examine to what extent states’ duty to protect human rights can be utilised to hold corporations accountable for human rights violations in

Våld kan förekomma i olika typer av relationer och följer samma mönster oavsett parternas sexualitet eller inneboende maktrelation. Våldet kan vara fysiskt, psykiskt eller sexuellt. Oavsett våldsform så är det genom en systematisk växling mellan våld och värme som våldet normaliseras i relationen, vilket kallas normaliseringsprocessen. Den utsatta anpassar sig till förövaren för att undvika mer våDomestic violence can occur in different types of relationships and follows the same pattern regardless of the parties' sexuality or inherent power relationship. The violence can be physical, mental or sexual. It is through a constant shift between violence and warmth that the actions are normalized in the relationship, the normalization process. The victim adapts to the perpetrator to avoid m

Alternativa övningsmetoder för musiker – del 2 utforskar hur mentalisering och mimning fungerar i musikalisk övning, enskilt och som duo, i arbetet mot en konsertfärdig produkt. Här redogörs även för hur medvetandezonerna zon 1 och zon 2, som upptäcktes i Alternativa övningsmetoder för musiker – del 1, kan fungera i musikalisk övning genom mentalisering. Utöver dessa två frågor undersöks också hurAlternative methods of practising music – part 2 explores different ways in which imagery and miming work when practising music, both individually and as a duo, in the process towards a product that is ready for concert. Also presented is how the zones of awareness zone 1 and zone 2, that were discovered in Alternative methods of practising music – part 1, can work for musical practice through ima

Over the last century, large-scale water megaprojects have become a globally widespread method of addressing water scarcity by moving water from areas of water surplus to deficit. The U.S. state of California is a megaproject pioneer, having constructed two infrastructural systems in the mid-1900s that transfer water as far as 640 kilometers to satisfy agricultural and urban growth. While these pr

The topic of Supply Risk Management (SRM) has increased in relevance as the need for a resilient supply chain has become more prevalent. There have been numerous articles published throughout the years regarding SRM and Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), including articles with case studies of global OEM’s. Company A, a global OEM located in Sweden, has realised that proactive SRM is a topic of

The GASMAS technique has previously proven useful for examining and measuring the oxygen concentration in the lungs of preterm infants. GASMAS can distinguish absorption by one gas from the bulk absorption of the surrounding media, and can provide an instant, non-invasive and non-destructive way of examining lungs, and diagnosing dangerous conditions such as pneumothorax. Pneumothorax can be life-

With countries across the world finding pathways to counter CO2 emissions, sustainable mobility has become a critical topic for leaders, policymakers, and industries. The development of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV’s) is seen as an important and effective way through which reliance on fossil fuels and thereby related CO2 emissions can be reduced. Statistics show that the number EV’s on the roads

The proliferation of poverty and global inequality between and within the countries has resulted in an emerging consensus among the actors in the field of international development on the importance of social policies in the process of development. One type of social policy measures employed to tackle poverty is Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT). These have been formed within the World Bank Group a

This dissertation examines the construction of P&amp&semicI club letters of undertaking by the English courts, and whether their approach can be criticised based on the legal nature of such contracts, the principles of construction which have been held applicable to them and their commercial purpose. A letter of undertaking serves as alternative security to an arrest and consists of a prom

The Chernobyl catastrophe is still referred to as the biggest radioactivity fallout problem in the history of the world. The cloud that was released from the broken reactor travelled across larger parts of the European continent and the after-effects of the radiation are said to be felt and faced throughout the impacted regions up to this day – and that this process is far from over.
