The leading cause of death in the world is cardiovascular diseases. Scientific discoveries have been made that correlate the movement of the arterial walls and blood flow patterns with cardiovascular diseases. These movements have been studied with ultrasound 2D imaging. From 2D movement tracking it is observed that the arterial wall moves in two directions, radially and longitudinally, and resear

Accidents always get a lot of public attention. Journalists appear at the site of an accident, taking pictures and making interviews with professionals and eyewitnesses. With the emergence of smartphones, online-media, and social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. everyone became a journalist. It is no longer only accidents catching public attention but also near misses, sm
Denim, sneakers and sustainability are three topics I am passionate about. Right now, the sneaker community is growing bigger than ever, releasing new products every week of the month. This is not very sustainable, neither is the denim industry. Growing cotton for one pair of denim jeans requires around 950 liters of water and a lot of fertilization. At the same time, we consume 12,5 kg of fa
What is the function of a lamp when it’s turned off? It is, in most cases, to lighten up a space that has no light. In this project, I wanted the lamp to earn its place in the room even though it’s turned off. Flora is a lamp designed for the Swedish company Klong. Through brand studies, research of Scandinavian design and exploration of my own design preferences, the lamp has been created

The methods includes extracting features from the covariance estimations of each signal and taking timefrequency transforms of the data and classify the transforms with a convolutional neural network. The results are positive and shows
I dagens samhälle är det av högsta vikt att betyg sätts likvärdigt. För att undersöka likvärdigheten i betygssättning används ofta de nationella proven men detta kan vara problematiskt då de nationella proven rättas internt och är en del av det betygsgrundande materialet. I detta arbete har istället ett diagnostiskt test i matematik som utförs av elever i början av årskurs ett på Lunds kommunala g

This essay examines which possibilities contracting parties in a corporate acquisition have of using disclaimer clauses to regulate responsibilities in regards to the Swedish Sale of Goods Act. Starting point is the criticism directed towards the precedent set in NJA 2016 s. 237 (the Lindorff case) by the Swedish Supreme Court, which disapproved a disclaimer clause despite its similarity to a cla
En av mekanismerna som ökar välståndet i ett samhälle är att avtal kommer till stånd mellan rationella nyttomaximerande aktörer. När avtal sluts ökar parternas välstånd och välståndet i samhället då avtalsobjektet efter avtalet ägs av den part som värdesätter den högst. En sådan transaktion frigör kvasiränta vilket kvantifierar ökningen av välståndet i samhället. Transaktioner kan dock förhindras One of the mechanisms that increase wealth in a society is that agreements are reached between rational utility-maximizing actors. When an agreement is entered into by the parties, the wealth of the parties and the society increase, since the contract object after the agreement is owned by the party that values it most. Such a transaction frees quasi-interest, which quantifies the increase of weal
Vid tiden för riksdagen 1809-1810 befann sig riket Sverige i kaos. Landets kung hade blivit avsatt samtidigt som de var i krig med både Ryssland och Frankrike. Samtidigt började nya idéer och tankar om reformer cirkulera i samhället. Bondeståndet reflekterade avundsamt kring adel- och prästeståndens privilegier som gav dessa skattelättnader, medan bönderna själva i stort sett saknade möjligheter tThe situation in Sweden was chaotic when the Swedish parliament assembled in 1809-1810. They were at war with Russia and France and had no king to lead them to neither victory nor peace. At the same time new ideas formed and thoughts of reformation circulated among the people.
