1. Psychosocial consequences of false-positive mammography among women attending breast cancer screening. Assessment, prediction, and coping
Sammanfattning : One side-effect of breast cancer (BC) screening is a false-positive mammogram among healthy women. That is, finding(s) on a screening mammogram that lead to additional breast examinations but where the woman is eventually considered free from BC. There is evidence of short-term psychosocial consequences of false-positive BC screening. LÄS MER
2. Integrated pedestrian safety assessment methodology
Sammanfattning : Pedestrian fatalities and injuries are a concern in many regions. Passive safety assessment is well established, and additional active safety assessment has recently emerged. However, assessment methods reflecting on the interaction between active and passive safety do not exist in regulatory or consumer testing. LÄS MER
3. Integrated Pedestrian Safety Assessment: A Method to Evaluate Combinations of Active and Passive Safety
Sammanfattning : Pedestrian road casualties are a major concern in many countries. Vehicle safety systems attempt to reduce casualties, and the accurate assessment of such systems is therefore essential. Passive safety assessment is well established, and additional active safety assessment has recently emerged. LÄS MER
4. Computational Prediction Models for Proteolytic Cleavage and Epitope Identification
Sammanfattning : The biological functions of proteins depend on their physical interactions with other molecules, such as proteins and peptides. Therefore, modeling the protein-ligand interactions is important for understanding protein functions in different biological processes. LÄS MER
5. Women's Experiences of Fetal Screening for Down's Syndrome by Means of an Early Ultrasound Examination
Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to explore women's reactions to and experiences of fetal screening for Down's syndrome PS) by means of an ultrasound examination, including measurement of fetal nuchal translucency (NT).
