16. Lithium formate EPR dosimetry for accurate measurements of absorbed dose in radiotherapy
Sammanfattning : Lithium formate has shown to be a material with properties suitable for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry, among them up to 7 times higher sensitivity compared to alanine, which is a well-established EPR detector material for dose determinations in radiotherapy.The aim of this thesis was to further investigate the properties of lithium formate and develop the dosimetry system towards applications in radiotherapy.

17. Improving the quality of caesarean section in a low-resource setting : An intervention by criteria-based audit at a tertiary hospital, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Sammanfattning : A sharp increase in caesarean section (CS) rates at the Muhimbili National Referral Hospital (MNH) – a tertiary referral hospital in Tanzania – by 50% in 2000–2011, was associated with concomitant increase in maternal complications and deaths and inconsistent improvement in newborn outcomes. The aims of this thesis were to explore care providers’ in-depth perspective of the reasons for these high rates of CS, and to evaluate and improve standards of care for the most common indica-tions of CS, obstructed labour and fetal distress, which are also major causes of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

18. Attacking and Defending the Privacy of Clinical Language Models
Sammanfattning : The state-of-the-art methods in natural language processing (NLP) increasingly rely on large pre-trained transformer models. The strength of the models stems from their large number of parameters and the enormous amounts of data used to train them. The datasets are of a scale that makes it difficult, if not impossible, to audit them manually. LÄS MER
19. Alcohol prevention in Swedish primary health care
Sammanfattning : Abstract Aims: The objectives of this thesis are to describe attitudes among general practitioners (GPs) and district nurses (DN) towards working with risk alcohol drinking and focus on the achievements of the Swedish Risk drinking project (RDP). Special attention has been devoted to the gender perspective and to the limits of sensible/safe drinking. LÄS MER
20. A Signal Processing Approach to Practical Neurophysiology : A Search for Improved Methods in Clinical Routine and Research
Sammanfattning : Signal processing within the neurophysiological field is challenging and requires short processing time and reliable results. In this thesis, three main problems are considered.First, a modified line source model for simulation of muscle action potentials (APs) is presented. LÄS MER
