This paper is about the issue of responsibility for forcefully displaced in conflict. It highlights the issue of responsibility in regard to forcefully displaced persons as portrayed by the International Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The subject for analysis is IDMC’s report submitted year 2006, which is a summary of forced displacement’s causes and consequences in the Eritrea and Ethiopia conflict (1
This thesis aims to understand the state of the Green Revolution movement in Ghana, with a focus on environmental policy and its potential for future development. The main research question applied is “What is the potential for an environmentally sustainable Green Revolution-type advancement in agriculture in Ghana?”. A quantitative, comparative case study methodology is applied, in which three
Studien utforskade frågeställningen: Vad sker i mötet mellan den psykodynamiska ramen och psykiatrins metaram såsom psykoterapeuter upplever det? Syftet var att bidra till forskningsfältet och använda slutsatser för att utveckla den egna kliniska praxisen. Studien realiserades som en aktionsforskningsstrategi. Det empiriska materialet bestod av sex psykoanalytiskt orienterade, kvalitativa forsknin
Bakgrund: Postoperativa sårinfektioner vid ledkirurgi kan få förödande konsekvenser, då det är svårt att nå en infektion som har spridit sig till en led. Ofta bildar bakterierna biofilm, vilket ökar deras resistens och gör infektionen svår att behandla. Antalet ledplastiker väntas öka framöver, delvis på grund av ökad livslängd. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva operationssjuksköterskans roll i att f
År 2017 togs beslut i Sveriges riksdag att anta ett nytt klimatmål där Sverige år 2045 ska ha noll nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser för att därefter ha negativa växthusgasutsläpp. Utifrån detta mål ställer Trafikverket vidare krav på sin verksamhet och sina väg- och järnvägsprojekt. Trafikverkets mål är att infrastrukturen ska vara klimatneutral till år 2050 med delmål att minska växthusgasutsläppen mIn 2017 the Swedish Parliament implemented a new national goal for limiting climate change. The goal is to have zero net emissions of greenhouse gases by year 2045 which will ultimately lead to negative net emissions. Further, the Swedish Transport Administration adapted the goal of making Sweden’s infrastructure climate neutral by the year 2050, with the milestones of reducing the emissions from
Hälso- och sjukvården präglas av stress och utmattningssyndrom hos sin personal, vilket kan leda till att sjuksköterskor begår medicinska fel samt ger ett oprofessionellt bemötande. Mindfulness kan tänkas vara en metod för att förebygga arbetsrelaterad ohälsa. Syftet var att undersöka hur personer verksamma inom mindfulness upplever metoden samt möjligheten för sjuksköterskor att använda metoden i
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used to classify directly on bone scan images in two medical tasks: classifying anterior / posterior pose, and classifying bone scan hotspots as metastatic / non-metastatic in patients with prostate cancer and suspected metastatic disease. The networks trained produce highly accurate results in both tasks and current methods are outperformed for all tested
Antioxidants are compounds present in plant, fruit, and vegetables, and they are known for their medicinal benefits such as anti-carcinogenic and anti-fungicidal activity. Most commonly used methods for extractions of such compounds are lengthy due to mass transfer limitations. This study proposes the use of carbon-dioxide expanded liquids (CXLs) as solvent to improve these limitations. Such solve
The purpose of this practical theological master’s thesis is to examine conversation as part of sermon preparation in present day preaching in the Lutheran Church of Sweden. This study combines studies of homiletical literature with qualitative empirical methods, stating that theory and practice informs one another. Through participant observation in Bible study groups and the following Sunday’s s
Bakgrund: Ett fungerande aktivitetsmönster med aktivitetsbalans i vardagen kan vara svårt att uppnå för vem som helst. För en person som elitsatsar inom paraidrott, kan det vara en ännu större utmaning. Paraidrott är idrott som har anpassad utrustning eller anpassade regler för att öka tillgängligheten. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att bland paraidrottare på elitnivå undersöka upplevda möjli
Biodiesel is an important alternative to ordinary diesel when limiting the effects on the climate. However, the production path of biodiesel produces a wastewater with a high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and it needs to be cleaned. The aim of this study was to characterise biodiesel wastewater as well as to suggest treatment options. The biodiesel wastewater studied came from a biodiesel plant i
Antibodies have proven its usefulness in a variety of technologies, including Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry and Antibody Microarrays. The latter, which has been applied in e.g. biomarker discovery, disease monitoring, prognostics and protein expression profiling, has become a workhorse in affinity proteomics. By recombinantly expressing scFv antibody fragments in E. coli, a high-throughput
The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections has ushered in a major global public health crisis. Judicious or restricted antimicrobial use in animal agriculture, aiming to confine the use for the treatment of infections, is the most commonly proposed solution to reduce selection pressure for resistant bacterial strains and resistance genes. However, a multifaceted solu
Accurate triage of ovarian masses is facilitated in many centers by the guideline-endorsed, extensively validated IOTA-ADNEX risk model, yet the model still relies on manual measurements of key tumor features. We developed ADNEX-AI, a multi-task deep-learning system that automatically segments four ADNEX ultrasound predictors – lesion, locules, solid tissue, papillary projections – and outputs the
Purpose: Boys with genetic syndromes have an increased risk of undescended testes (UDT), but laparoscopic findings and outcomes after two-stage Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy (FS2) are rarely reported. This study aims to compare laparoscopic findings and results after FS2 between syndromic and non-syndromic boys. Methods: A retrospective cohort study on boys with UDT who underwent laparoscopy between
Importance: While clinical disease stages remained largely unchanged in the 2024 update of the Alzheimer disease (AD) criteria, tau-positron emission tomography (PET) was introduced as a core biomarker and its spatial extent was incorporated into the revised biological stages of the disease. It is important to consider both the clinical and the biological stages and understand their discrepancies.
Urban freight systems play an indispensable role in contemporary cities. By enabling the continuous flow of goods, they support economic activity and contribute to urban prosperity. At the same time, these activities generate substantial negative externalities, including emissions, noise, congestion and increasing pressures on urban space. As freight activities grow, their impacts intensify, under
This dissertation examines the intense presence of the encounter with a number of artworks depicting sickrooms painted by Nordic artists by the end of the nineteenth century. To understand the intense presence enhanced through the encounter with these artworks, this dissertation argues that these paintings can be understood and examined as secular devotional images. Particular attention is devoted
