1. Optimization of brachytherapy for cervical cancer using inverse planning algorithms
Sammanfattning : Carcinoma of the cervix is a global problem. Brachytherapy (BT) is one of the mainradiation therapy components used in the management of cervical cancer. LÄS MER
2. Pathophysiology of subarachnoid hemorrhage in the rat
Sammanfattning : Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) causes brain damage, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. An obstacle in SAH research is the lack of an adequate animal model. In this thesis, we developed a new approach to simulate SAH that involves the injection of blood into the prechiasmatic cistern of the rat. LÄS MER
3. Continuous Finding Problems and Implementing Solutions in Health Care-Associated Infections : The Role of Infection Preventionists
Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis aims to understand how infection preventionists (IPs) continuously find problems and implement solutions related to health care-associated infections (HAIs) in hospital settings.HAIs are infections acquired by patients during the process of care and are among the main causes of deaths worldwide.

4. Feedback Control of Robotic Friction Stir Welding
Sammanfattning : The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process has been under constant developmentsince its invention, more than 20 years ago. Whereas most industrial applicationsuse a gantry machine to weld linear joints, there are applications which consistof complex three-dimensional joints, requiring more degrees of freedom fromthe machines.
