1. Modeling Silicon Diode Dose Response in Radiotherapy Fields using Fluence Pencil Kernels
Sammanfattning : In radiotherapy, cancer is treated with ionizing radiation, most commonly bremsstrahlung photons from electrons of several MeV. Secondary electrons produced in photon-interactions results in dose deposition. The treatment response is low for low doses, raises sharply for normal treatment doses and saturates at higher doses.

2. Barns erfarenheter av ”the Family Talk Intervention” : Att leva med en svårt sjuk förälder som vårdas inom specialiserad palliativ hemsjukvård
Sammanfattning : När en förälder i en barnfamilj får en livshotande sjukdom förändras livet för allai familjen. Barn som lever i denna situation rapporterar att de upplever oro och skuld relaterat till förälderns sjukdom. Dessutom har barnen en ökad risk för psykisk ohälsa. LÄS MER
3. The Sociality of Gaming : A mixed methods approach to understanding digital gaming as a social leisure activity
Sammanfattning : This dissertation is an exploration of the practice of social digital gaming, using a mixed methods approach with complementary data and analytical methods. The main themes are the prevalence and meaning of gamers’ experiences of social gaming and the underlying structures limiting or assisting social gaming, both material and social. LÄS MER
4. Assessment of cerebrospinal fluid system dynamics : novel infusion protocol, mathematical modelling and parameter estimation for hydrocephalus investigations
Sammanfattning : Patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) have a disturbance in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) system. The treatment is neurosurgical – a shunt is placed in the CSF system. The infusion test is used to assess CSF system dynamics and to aid in the selection of patients that will benefit from shunt surgery. LÄS MER
5. Cerebrospinal fluid infusion methods : development and validation on patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
Sammanfattning : Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) infusion tests can be used to estimate the dynamic properties of the CSF system. Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is a syndrome signified by a disturbance to the CSF system, where the cause is unknown and the diagnosis is difficult to determine. LÄS MER
