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 dAs the world is running out on conventional fossil fuel reserves the extraction of fossil gas through hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, has gained further ground internationally. In parallel, the escalating and disastrous effects of climate change are evident and time is running out to adjust energy production systems in order to avoid tipping points of global temperature levels. T

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

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

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

Svårkontrollerad parkslide i Perstorps kommun och Söderåsen Invasiva främmande arter kan orsaka skador på biologisk mångfald, samhällen och människors hälsa. De årliga kostnaderna i Sverige för invasiva främmande arter har uppskattats till 1,1–4,5 miljarder kronor. Ett växande problem är den invasiva främmande arten parkslide (Reynoutria japonica, tidigare Fallopia japonica). Parkslide har visat

En icke-toxisk relation mellan svamp och växt Växter lever ofta i symbios med vissa svampar – det betyder att växterna samarbetar med dessa svampar för att överleva. En sådan svamp är Trichoderma arundinaceum. Denna är välkänd för att vara mutualistisk till flera olika växtarter – inklusive många grödor. T. arundinaceum bildar ett nätverk bland växtens rötter och livnär sig på kolhydrater den får
