Assessing the risk of future femur fracture is an important step in preventing this serious and common injury. The current methods to predict the fracture risk are typically based on bone mineral density measurement, used as a surrogate for femoral strength. An alternative to this which has been shown to give more accurate information on the strength of a femur is subject specific finite element a
This project is an exploration of how to create a foldable bicycle made of paper. The decision to develop a foldable, sustainable and hopefully affordable, paper bicycle came from frustrating experiences with several heavy and bulky foldable bicycles on the market. Paper as a material was chosen with the help from a Paper Cellulose expert named Heikki Sojjaka. Form and function exploration with sk
Bakgrund: Brister i informationsöverföring i vårdens övergångar utgör en stor risk. När en patient skrivs ut från slutenvården i Region Skåne för vidare vård i hemmet sker informationsutbytet via IT-stödet Mina planer. För att distriktssköterskorna i hemsjukvården ska kunna ge en säker vård är de helt beroende av att informationsöverföringen och kommunikationen fungerar optimalt med slutenvården.
In a new modern building or a newly decorated public space, today’s surveillance cameras can sometimes be perceived as poorly adapted from an architectural point of view. For specific cases where e.g. architect, interior designer, or client must choose a monitoring solution, it must be possible to offer a more flexible solution that can be applied in many different rooms and environments at the sa
This study looks at factors contributing to LA-MRSA prevalence in Danish pig farms. LA-MRSA is a pathogenic bacteria that are resistant to methicillin (penicillin) and tetracycline antibiotics found in livestock such as pigs, poultry and cattle. By using logistic regression analysis, this study investigates which factors that might have increased the likelihood of having a positive LA-MRSA result
Medans världens fossila bränslereserver sinar har utvinningen av fossilgas genom hydraulisk spräckning, allmänt känt som fracking, vunnit mark internationellt. Parallellt med detta uppenbarar sig klimatförändringarnas katastrofala effekter och tiden är knapp för att ställa om global energiproduktion innan medeltemperaturen når så kallade ”tipping points”. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utforska d
Avancerad palliativ vård blir allt vanligare att bedriva i hemmet då fler svårt sjuka människor väljer att vårdas hemma i livets slut. Många studier beskriver vilka komponenter som ska ingå för att den palliativa vården ska anses vara av hög kvalitet. Det behövs dock mer kunskap om vilka aktiviteter som pågår under vårdrelaterade möten i hemmet och vilken inverkan dessa kan ha på vårdrelationen. S
Black phosphorus is a 2-D layered material. Since the isolation of a single layer of black phosphorus in 2014, it has garnered a great deal of interest due to several rare properties such as anisotropy, high conductivity, and tunable bandgap. These properties make it an ideal candidate for a wide variety of applications and provide a means for analyzing particular direction-dependent physical phen
We introduce rigorous theory for deriving first and second order backpropagation methods for Deep Neural Networks (DNN) whilst satisfying existing theory in DNN optimization. We begin by formally defining a neural network with its respective components and state the first and second order chain rule with respect to its partial derivatives. The partial derivatives in the chain rule formula are rela
Five different ocular measurements were investigated as a means of predicting cognitive load during a visuospatial memory game. Eye data was collected from the participants during a non-related n-back task, trained on both classification and regression models, and investigated in relation to their ability to make predictions regarding how the participants were performing on an n-back task. All the
Syftet med kursen är att skapa en fördjupad kunskap om arkitekturens spatiala kvalitéer och egenskaper i relation till komplex urban kontext. Den syftar till att utveckla förmågan att designa arkitektur i specifika fysiska och socialt kombinerade situationer formade av olika historiska lager. Samt att skapa förståelse för hur den byggda miljön påverkar och påverkas av den urbana materiella oc
Purpose: The purpose of this master paper is to explore if different Business-to-Business brands sit on signature stories using David Aaker ́s four criteria defining a signature story. Methodology: The study’s qualitative methodology consists of finding different Business-to- Business brands and analyzing these if they are sitting on a signature story. To explore if Business-to-Business brands ha
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how firms can use brand experience to generate brand loyalty. Methodology: case studies and literature review Findings: The findings in this paper support the findings in previous research that brand loyalty is driven by brand experience, and that brand personality can function as a mediator between them. The main themes that are considered impo
Brands are entering a time where brand activism and political activism in which they state their beliefs affect consumer purchasing decisions instead of having, as opposed to traditional brand product marketing. Brands are more pressured to take a stand on any social issue and voice they’re donating to matter. The purpose of this paper is to examine the social context initiating such activism and
Abstrakt Bakgrund: Covid-19 blev en katalysator för E-hälsa, en teknologi som redan fanns på plats och som kunde bemöta den ökade efterfrågan som pandemin innebar. Patienter som tidigare varit tveksamma till E-hälsa har på grund av Covid-19 varit mer benägna att använda sig av digitala verktyg. Ett flertal studier visar på en kraftig övergång till E-hälsa. Forskningsläget gällande distriktssköters
Purpose: This study explores and defines the transition from product branding to corporate branding by answering the following research questions: • Why are corporations transitioning from product branding to corporate branding? • How are corporations transitioning from product branding to corporate branding? • What does it mean for corporations to transition from product branding to corporate br
Scent marketing has long been here; discussed in various literature and used by many brands all over the world. Yet, there is not sufficient research done on how scents affect customer perceptions of brands in the hotel industry. This paper intends to examine how scents influence the way customers perceive hotel brands, along with analysing the importance of using scents in order to develop a stro
Purpose: The purpose of this research paper is to study the promotion of non-profitable products by exploring the greater good initiatives of country branding in terms of brand identity and brand image. Design/methodology/approach: The research paper takes a qualitative approach and combines primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through an interview. The secondary data is bas
Solar energy is an important component of sustainable urban development. However, it is still not reaching its full potential due to several reasons. One of them is a lack of free tools based on open geodata capable of estimating solar energy (daylight) metrics on building features, e.g.,windows, in the early stages of the urban planning process. To fill this gap, a design and implementation of th
