Kan risk för benbrott spås med artificiell intelligens? Höftfrakturer, framförallt benbrott av lårbenshalsen, är ofta ett resultat av benskörhet. Benbrotten drabbar främst äldre personer och leder till sämre livskvalitet; de är även förknippade med högre dödlighet, så hög som 18-33% första året. Även om benskörhet ökar risken för benbrott, är inte alla drabbade bensköra. För att kunna förhindra eOsteoporosis is a bone disease that is defined as low bone mineral density (BMD) and results in an increased risk of bone fracture. It is a serious public health problem that causes excess mortality and major economical and social impact. Today there are more than 8.9 million fractures connected to low bone mineral density worldwide. Hip fractures are of particular concern since they are associate

Unveiling the Immune System: Pleurodeles waltl and the Puzzle of Regeneration Salamanders like Pleurodeles waltl have extraordinary regenerative capabilities, these creatures can regrow limbs, tails, and even parts of their hearts, a stark contrast to humans, who have much more limited regenerative abilities. Previous studies have shown that the immune system plays a major role in the regenerati

Risk perception and risk tolerance are key elements of decision-making and flight safety. During flight operations, an accident may occur if a pilot underestimates risk level or overestimates their capacity (risk tolerance). Despite the numerous research studies conducted previously on risk perception and risk tolerance, there has been limited investigation into the "evolution" of these

Mer data och tydligare svar: Avancerad ultraljudsteknik med magnetism för bättre cancerdiagnostik Rektalcancer är ett vanligt förekommande problem som ökar i samhället. För att minska lidande för patienter och eventuell överbehandling finns det vinning i att snabbt och effektivt kunna kartlägga spridningen. Detta arbete har undersökt metoder för att snabbare skapa tydliga bilder av spridningen tiRectal cancer is a common type of cancer, and the escalating prevalence is correlated to the western lifestyle. Most patients will undergo surgery, where the extent of the surgery correlates with the tumor stage. Determining the spread to neighboring lymph nodes is challenging, as certain evaluation requires biopsy of the resected tissue. Therefore, NanoEcho is currently developing a diagnostic to

Klimatförändringen medför att allt mer frekventa och kraftiga skyfall belastar den ständigt växande staden. Urbaniseringen tillsammans med förtätningen av stadsmiljöer har lett till att sådana regn får allt större konsekvenser. Detta beror på den ökade andelen hårdgjorda ytor som hindrar nederbörd från att naturligt infiltrera. Istället bildas större volymer ytavrinning som måste ledas bort för atDue to climate change more extreme precipitation is expected to strike the constantly growing cities around the world. Urbanization along with densification of urban areas magnifies the impact of heavy rainfall. These two processes have increased the amount of hard surfaces that prevent precipitation to naturally infiltrate, and therefore result in larger amount of surface runoff that must be dive

This master’s thesis explores and discusses the discursive construction of the image of Sweden within the exhibition practice of the Swedish Institute in Paris, France (SI Paris). SI Paris is the only Swedish culture centre abroad and hosts several exhibitions portraying different elements of Swedish culture each year. SI Paris is a part of the larger organisation the Swedish Institute (SI) which

Within the cultural imaginary of video games, armed conflicts have always occupied a central space. Their subject material, as well as technologies and visual techniques, are often based on historical and present-day conflicts, often involving US Armed Forces, subcontractors or intelligence agents. US actors and interests disproportionally occupy the privileged position of protagonist, which has c

Båtklubben i Kiviks hamn har länge upplevt problem med stora vågor i hamnbassängen. Denna studie ämnar att fastslå vilka vågförhållanden och fenomen som ger upphov till dessa problem, samt att föreslå åtgärder. En undersökning av vågklimatet utanför hamnen utförs med hjälp av en enkel modell, kallad SPM, som beräknar en tidsserie vågor utifrån meteorologisk och geografisk data. För att kartlägga vThe yacht club in Kivik marina has experienced problems with large waves in the harbour basin for a long time. This study aims to determine the wave conditions and phenomena that give rise to these problems, and to propose measures. An investigation of the wave climate outside the harbour is carried out using a simple model, called SPM, which calculates a time series of waves based on meteorologic

This is a master thesis about how to be able to clean an open device during assembly for the company of McNeil AB. McNeil AB is a company in Helsingborg, Sweden, producing the Nicorette brand, which is a nicotine based product line which helps people stop smoking. McNeil AB's problem was that they had some contamination in their mouth spray product and thus a solution for the cleaning of a via

Drawing on practice centered approaches to consumption, this study situates a cultural analysis of Instagram, a smartphone-­‐based image sharing application used by over 80 million people worldwide, within wider discourses on reflexive modernity, critical media studies, prosumption, and late-­‐modern consumer culture. A seven-­‐day diary study with 25 international participants, supplemented by pa

This master’s thesis examines and evaluates different ways of preserving media reliant on the now defunct Adobe Flash technology. The purpose is dual; both to examine and evaluate Flash preservation from an archival point of view, and to contribute to the existing research on Internet communities’ preservation initiatives. The research and data collection for the thesis is focused on the preservat

In the last decade, Indonesia has seen a series of massive social media activism, especially on Twitter. As the activists strive to make their social movement visible on Twitter, they also face some threats due to the uncertainty of Twitter algorithms and potential surveillance. As many scholars have studied the role of social media algorithms for activism, this study intends to investigate the be

Uppsatsen utgår från komplexiteten som råder kring förmögenhetsbrotten. Möjligheterna för brotten har utvecklats i och med utvecklingen av näringslivet samtidigt som osäkerhetsmarginalerna är stora i brottsstatistiken. Rekvisiten i brottet trolöshet mot huvudman har en särskilt komplicerad uppbyggnad och bedömningen är inte alltid glasklar. Missbruksrekvisitet utgör kärnan i det brottsliga handlanThe background of this thesis stems from the complexity surrounding property crimes. The possibilities for the crimes have developed with the development of the business sector, while the margins of uncertainty are large in the crime statistics. The necessary conditions in the crime of disloyalty to principal are particularly complex and the assessment is not always clear-cut. The requirement of a

In Sweden, the demand on the electrical grid is increasing with the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. It is thereby important to optimize the charging stations for electrical vehicles connected to the grid. These charging stations can also include local energy generation and storage, which help decrease the demand on the grid, while supporting the charging of vehicles connected.

In this work, different solutions for human presence detection in a door intercom device are examined. The study was conducted at a company in Lund, Sweden. The aspiration was to have a reliable presence detection to be able to put the device in sleep mode when not used, and the current solution is not optimal because of limiting design requirements and false triggers. In the project, several diff

1. The invasive golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata), native to South America, is a serious pest on rice seedlings in south-east Asia and has also been shown to consume large amounts of macrophytes in natural wetlands, with large effects on ecosystem functioning. Earlier studies suggest that the snail undergoes an ontogenetic diet shift, feeding on algae and detritus as juveniles and shifting

Popular Abstract in Swedish Idag röker cirka 6% av alla gravida kvinnor i Sverige. I vissa regioner är andelen så hög som en av tio gravida kvinnor. Trots att det betyder att det har skett en kraftig nedgång sedan man började mäta utbredningen av graviditetsrökning i början på 80-talet, visar siffror att denna nedgång verkar ha avstannat. Det är känt sedan länge att rökning under graviditeten är sGlobally, around 10 % of women smoke during pregnancy today. It is known that pregnancy smoking increases the risk of adverse short-term health effects in the offspring, such as preterm birth, low birthweight and spontaneous abortion. Less is known about whether any adverse health effects persist until adulthood. In Sweden, there are nationwide population-based health registers that are becoming i

As our dependence on IT systems increases, evaluating the dependability of critical IT systems becomes more important. One of the main challenges in software reliability engineering is the sensitivity of software systems to a changing usage. This is especially important for systems that are critical in the aftermath of a crisis and for which reliability is the most important aspect of dependabilit
