Post-operativt illamående och kräkning (PONV) är den komplikation som patienter upplever som svårast att hantera i samband med operation, 15-50% av bröstopererade kvinnor drabbas. Olika förebyggande åtgärder kan vidtas men det finns ingen standard för profylaxbehandlingen av PONV. Sjukhusen i Lund och Kristianstad har olika förebyggande behandlingar. Syftet är att undersöka effekter på postoperati

Rätten till utveckling (på engelska “Right to development” (RTD)) är en mänsklig rättighet som har bekräftats av FN: s generalförsamling i ”the Declaration on the Right to Development” (DRD) från 1986. Rätten har också bekräftats av flera internationella deklarationer och två regionala mänskliga rättighetskonventioner, ”the African [Banjul] Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights” och “Arab Charter oThe right to development (RTD) is an inalienable human right that has been affirmed by the United Nations General Assembly in the Declaration on the Right to Development (DRD), in 1986. The right has also been reaffirmed by several international declarations and in two regional human rights conventions, the African [Banjul] Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and Arab Charter on Human Rights, and

Purpose: To explore and describe how country-of-origin has its effect towards both high- and low-context culture societies. Theoretical perspectives: Country-of-origin effect, cultural context, international marketing. Methodology: A comparative study using six focus group discussions to obtain differences and similarities on country-of-origin effect in both high- and low-context culture societies

Quantication of cardiovascular flow and blood volumes are useful tools in diagnosing cardiovascular disease such as congenital heart defects and different kinds of valve leakage. Medical imaging techniques enables non-invasive analysis of anatomy and physiology. In order to perform flow quantification from medical image sequences, the boundaries of the vessels of interest are usually delineated ma

Koronarkirurgi och/eller klaffoperationer med sternotomi genererar ofta uttalad smärta och anestesin har vid thoraxkirurgi länge grundats på användandet av stora doser av opioiden fentanyl. De senaste åren har den snabbverkande opioiden remifentanil kommit att användas i högre grad. Syftet med studien var att postoperativt utvärdera och jämföra effekten av perioperativ fentanyl och remifentanil ad

Kandidatuppsatsen i samhällsplanering syftar till att belysa brukarmedverkan i planering. Fokus ligger på landskapet och den Europeiska landskapskonventionen. Frågorna som tas upp och besvara, med hjälp av en fallstudie och kvalitativa intervjuer, är följande: - Vilka är motiven till medborgardeltagande i fysisk planering? - Vad innebär den europeiska landskapskonventionen i, och vad säger den om

Background: Historically, the use of packaging has often been regarded as a necessary evil, associated with unnecessary costs, but needed to enable distribution of goods. Today many companies have begun to realise that the packaging can have a major impact on the supply chain. For Tetra Pak, it is of great importance to be able to offer deeper insights to the costs incurred by their packages, thus

Due to the lack of cohesiveness and progress in the academic field concerning statelessness, this essay examines a cross-section of said academic field to determine its ‘blind spots’. By determining the blind spots this essay aims to give new input that may result in further research concerning the pressing issue of statelessness. Seven academic articles are scrutinized and compared in order to re

Investigating the dynamics of blood flow is essential to understanding the cardiovascular system and its pathologies. Phase Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PC-MRI) enables acquisition of 4-dimensional time resolved velocity experiments. Slice-by-slice analysis of the data is time consuming and cumbersome. In this master thesis a simple but eective algorithm for fully automatic visualization o

Studiens huvudsakliga syfte var att undersöka den relativa betydelsen av social inlärning jämfört med familjens emotionella miljö och anknytning för emotionsreglering hos barn i mellanbarndomen. Barns kunskap och medvetenhet kring upplevelser av egna svåra känslor (rädsla, ilska ledsenhet, besvikelse), föräldrarnas svåra känslor (ledsenhet, rädsla, hjälplöshet) samt öppenhet i familjen studerades.

The covered interest rate parity (CIP) states that the difference in interest rate between two identical assets, denominated in different currencies, should explain the difference between the spot price and the forward price in the foreign exchange markets. However, empirical studies have suggested that the CIP condition does not always hold. This study empirically tests the CIP condition during t

In 1996 the European Union and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the 2°C climate target to prevent dangerous climate change and to limit the rise in global mean temperature to 2°C above the preindustrial level. If this is possible to accomplish, with increasing emission of greenhouse gases, is hard to tell. There are today many uncertainties within the conn

The horizontal principle which usually applies when it comes to international law is not more universal than the human rights they concern. At least not in all of the worlds regions. This thesis´ starting point is Africa and is based on a combination of theory of power and empirical examples from the colonial era. It argues that the power relations between the state and the individual generated un

This report contains an environmental investigation of the farming education at Svalöf’s upper secondary school in Svalöv. The work has followed the steps for an ISO 14001 certification. Two other certifications, EMAS and Grön Flagg, have also been analyzed to investigate which certification that would be most suited for this place. Information about the certification IP Sigill was also put togeth

In this essay, we research the ideal way to look and behave seen from two of Sweden's largest weekly magazines intended for young women, Veckorevyn and Frida. In our study we cover two issues of these respective magazines. We found that in correlaton to similar studies both magazines likes to portray women as skinny, usually blonde or brunette with next to perfect skin. We also found that both

This essay aims to present the way in which relevant organizations in Sweden argues for who's got a responsibility towards children when they're victims of bullying in social medias. This essay does not want to examine if the way we're dealing with children who're victims of cyber bullying is effective or not, nor do I claim to put forward recommendations for a 'better way'

The purpose of this thesis has been to study different dimensions of work and the political ”work-first” principal within strategies of social inclusion. The primary material of the analysis consists of two relevant and current documents concerning the strategy ”A coordinated and longterm strategy of roma inclusion 2012-2032” (author’s translation) of the Swedish government. I have applied two the

Issue of study: Knowledge management is recognised as an essential part of company strategy, with the potential to generate significant competitive advantage. The theoretical basis of knowledge management is well developed, however the practical implementation is not well adapted with regards to construction organisations. More research with a practical perspective regarding knowledge management

Bakgrund: Kommunikation mellan människor sker överallt och hela tiden. När sjukdom uppstår och patienten ska operaras är denne inte i sin trygga miljö och god kommunikation är av vikt då det ökar patientens säkerhet och trygghet på operationssalen/postoperativavdelning. Syftet: Syftet med denna observationsstudie var att undersöka kommunikation på en operationssal- och postoperativ avdelning mella

De försäkringar som är involverade i fartygs financiering är av högsta betydelse för långivaren för att uppnå lägsta möjliga kreditrisk. Ett fartyg som utgör kreditsäkerhet och som har brister i sitt försäkringsskydd kommer inte vara till samma skydd för banken som var avsett om skada uppstår eller ännu värre om fartyget blir en totalförlust. Detta är extra viktigt idag då många fartygsägare beståThe insurances involved in ship finance are of vital importance for the lender to achieve as small credit risk as possible. A vessel that serves as collateral for a loan and lacks adequate insurance cover will not give the bank the protection it was meant to give if it suffers damage or even worse becomes a total loss. This is particularly important since many shipowners nowadays consist of one-sh
