  1. 1. Digital Image Analysis using Qupath to determine immune cell content in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded murine neuroblastoma tumors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Anton Bergström Holm; [2023]
    Keywords : Neuroblastoma; Tumor-associated neutrophils TANs ; Digital image analysis; QuPath;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB), an extracranical solid tumor, is among the most prevalent cancers affecting children, particularly those under the age of five. High-risk NB presents a survival rate just below 50 %. Angiogenesis, a crucial process in NB, is induced by various pro-angiogenic factors. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Effect of Angiogenesis Inhibition on Tumor-Associated Granulocytes in an Orthotopic Model of High-Risk Neuroblastoma

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Maja Hammarström; [2022]
    Keywords : neuroblastoma; tumor angiogenesis; sunitinib; SU11248; tumor-associated neutrophils; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : Background: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. The survival rate in high-risk neuroblastoma is less than 50 % despite intensive multimodal therapy, and there is thus an immense need for new treatment options. READ MORE

  4. 3. Nonlinear mode coupling and parametric amplification with superconducting kinetic inductance

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Daniele Lopriore; [2022]
    Keywords : Quantum technology; microwave engineering; nanofabrication; parametric amplifiers; multimode entanglement; kinetic inductance; Kvantteknologi; mikrovågsteknik; nanotillverkning; parametriska förstärkare; multimodentrassling; kinetisk induktans;

    Abstract : We investigate the resonant characteristics of superconducting meandering nanowires to design a nonlinear kinetic inductance traveling-wave parametric amplifier. The devices are patterned out of 15 nm thick NbTiN films. They consist of a coplanar waveguide, that shrinks into 100 nm wide meandering nanowires. READ MORE

  5. 4. Environmentalist Metaphors in Tales from Outer Suburbia : Supporting students' visual literacy skills by analysing Shaun Tan's pictures

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för lärande, humaniora och samhälle

    Author : Patricia Svensson; [2021]
    Keywords : pictorial metaphors; environmentalism; Shaun Tan; visual literacy; English language learning;

    Abstract : As the impact of pictures in everyday life and literature is increasing, so is the importance of visual literacy skills. This essay combines theories of visual literacy, pictorial metaphor, image analysis and environmentalism to analyse visual literacy in relation to how Shaun Tan’s pictures create metaphorical ideas related to the environment in Tales from Outer Suburbia.

  6. 5. Narrative Perspective in a Wordless Graphic Novel: Shaun Tan's The Arrival

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Engelska institutionen

    Author : Hanna Johnson; [2018]
    Keywords : Narrator; Focalizer; Graphic Novel; Mieke Bal; Gérard Genette; Scott McCloud; Shaun Tan; The Arrival;

    Abstract : In a narrative the narrator tells the story, and the focalizer is a character through whose eyes the story is seen. The narrator is thus the one who speaks, whilst the focalizer is silent. The identification of these two narratological features is made with the help of verbal cues such as personal pronouns for instance. READ MORE
