When being in a noisy environment, a normal hearing person can manage to sort out background noise and focus on the attended source. This is something that a person with impaired hearing will struggle with, even when wearing a hearing aid. Research for developing intelligent hearing aids has not yet come up with a solution for solving this problem and more research is needed. This thesis uses data

Syfte: Nike lanserade år 2018 en kampanj vid namnet Dream Crazy som skapade kontroversiella reaktioner i sociala medier samt en hög grad av mediaexponering. Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att ta reda på vad svenska studenter med åldern 19-24 tänker kring den politiska aspekten av den här kampanjen, och hur mycket det påverkar deras köpbeslut. Metod: Materialet samlades in genom djupgående pePurpose: In 2018 Nike launched an advertisement campaign called “Dream Crazy” that provoked controversial reactions in social media and large coverage in the media. This qualitative study aims to find out what Swedish students aged 19-24 think of specifically the political aspect of that campaign, and how much it matters and influences their decision making when choosing products. Methodology: Dat
Lipases are the main fat digestive enzymes present in the digestive system of many animals, microorganisms and plants. Probiotic microorganisms that can possibly produce enzymes are of crucial importance since it can have an effect on human health. Two of the main probiotic strains are Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Biffidobacterium longum, in each there was a putative lipase encoded on the DNA and t
Kristianstadsslätten breder ut sig i nordöstra Skåne och in i sydvästra Blekinge med sin komplicerade och varierade geologi. De komplexa förhållandena leder till att det finns ett flertal akvifärer i både jordlager och berggrund, där den mest vattenförande formationen är den av glaukonitsand. Syftet med arbetet har varit att undersöka vilket infiltrerat vattenflöde, vid vilket pumptryck, en brunn Kristianstad plain stretches from the northeast of Scania to the southwest of Blekinge with a complicated and varying geology. The complexity has resulted in multiple aquifers in both soil and bedrock, where the highest amount of withdrawable groundwater is in the formation of glauconite sand. The aim of this paper has been to investigate which infiltrated water flow at a certain pumping pressure,
The Bogong moth Agrotis infusa is a long-distance nocturnal migrant whose navigational ability still remains only partly understood. They travel up to a thousand kilometres to the Australian Alps where they seek out the shelter of isolated cool alpine caves, thereby escaping the approaching summer heat of their breeding grounds. Once in the caves, they enter a state of dormancy over the coming sum
The aim of this paper was to examine opinions among professionals on which refugee children have the best versus the worst conditions to attain a favourable adaption in their new country. This was investigated through the conceptions of resilience and in consideration of the importance of gender and different methods of treatment. I have found that there are three subgroups of factors that are of
This work consists of seven essays, with each concerning a specific subject that is related to architecture. There is additional text, which pertains to this work's examination requirements for graduating the architecture-program at Lund Technical University. This work is a creative explorations through writing as a tool; through text; becoming able to formulate, conceptualize, develop and ext
This master thesis investigates how the county administrative boards communicate the regional risk and vulnerability analyses to municipalities in Sweden. Information has been gathered through a survey and through a case study involving three county administrative boards. The results revealed that there are possibilities to improve or develop the communication in all the county administrative boar
The risk for drinking water scarcity does not only concern developing countries and arid places. In its 2023 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified water scarcity as one of Europe’s key risks out of five in the foreseeable future. Sweden experiences water shortages more and more frequently during summer, and the need to protect groundwater resources is imperative. In
Pilot injections are normally used for the reduction of diesel engine emissions and combustion noise. Nonetheless, with a penalty on the indicated thermal efficiency. The cost is reduced by the minimization of the pilot mass, which on its counterpart increases the risk of pilot misfire. Pilot misfire can have a higher penalty on the indicated efficiency if it is not compensated adequately. This pa
Catalytic CO oxidation is a seemingly simple reaction between CO and O2 molecules, one of the reactions in automotive catalytic converters, and the fruit-fly reaction in model catalysis. Surprisingly, the phase responsible for the catalytic activity is still under debate, despite decades of investigations. We have performed a simple but yet conclusive study of single crystal Rh and Pd model cataly
I estimate a demand model for car inspection services to investigate car owners' choice of stations and its implications for competition, and to evaluate the impact on consumer welfae of removing the state monopoly on inspection services. Using detailed data on car owners' choices of station in the Swedish motor vehicle inspection market, I find that car owners are willing to pay SEK 41 or 9\% mor
BACKGROUND: Strong growth of interdisciplinary sciences might find exceptional example in academic health economics. We decided to observe the quantitative output in this science since the beginning of the twenty-first century.METHODS: Electronic search of the published literature was conducted in four different databases: one medical database-MEDLINE/PubMed, two general databases-Scopus/Elsevier
Objective: To determine factors associated with orthopaedic surgeons’ decision to recommend total joint replacement (TJR) in people with knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). Design: Cross-sectional study in eleven countries. For consecutive outpatients with definite hip or knee OA consulting an orthopaedic surgeon, the surgeon's indication of TJR was collected, as well as patients’ characteristics in
Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common neurosurgical conditions. Patients diagnosed with CSDH’s are often planned for subacute surgery. This means that time from diagnostic CT scan until actual surgery might often be prolonged. There are no previous studies that highlight the effect of delayed intervention in this population. Method: Patients that underwent surgical
The results of genotypic data contributed to the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) Bovine Chromosome 27 Workshop are presented. Eight laboratories contributed 23 261 informative meioses from 44 loci. Eighteen loci were typed by at least two laboratories and were used to construct a consensus linkage map. Twenty-one loci were subsequently incorporated into a comprehensive map. The se
