Patient safety is a key component in healthcare, in particular within the widespread use of medical technology. A proactive approach to patient safety in medical technology is essential for fulfilling the healthcare system’s duty to protect patients from harm. At the department Digitalisering IT och MT at Region Skåne, all proactive patient safety efforts are currently handled manually. The aim of

In order for a person to experience a fear response, a platitude of different brain parts and processes are required. Both small parts, like the amygdala and hypothalamus, and larger parts, like the prefrontal cortex, are necessary. While a lot of fear responses have a similar outline, there are differences in the expressions and activations of the brain parts. In this project, a prototype model

Mental health services increasingly seek ways to implement Learning Health Systems (LHS) to enhance care quality of patients. This bachelor's thesis focuses on DIALOG+, a structured tool used in psychiatry designed for patient-centered communication. By visualizing and analysing data from DIALOG+, continuous learning can be supported within clinical settings to improve treatment and organizati

A challenge when predicting physiological corrosion behaviour of biomaterials is the lack of established correlation between the results from in vitro and in vivo studies. This project investigates how the selection of immersion testing method affects the degradation of magnesium based alloys by comparing corrosion rates obtained from three methods: bioreactor, incubator and isothermal calorimetry

Minimal submanifolds constitute a central area within the realm of differential geometry, due to their many applications in various branches of physics. An illustrative example is found in the behavior of soap films, which in striving to balance pressure, naturally assume surfaces characterised by zero mean curvature. In this thesis we will employ a recent result of S. Gudmundsson and T.J. Munn t

Människor har att tacka fotosyntesen för sin existens. Fotosyntesen sker inuti bladen hos högt stående växter, alger, samt hos vissa mikroorganismer (t ex gröna svavelbakterier, cyanobakterier, etc). Fotosyntesens första steg involverar uppfångandet av ljus och överförandet av dess energi till något som kallas reaktionscentrat. Processen involverar en molekyl som kallas (bakterie)klorofyll. Där fiThe purpose of this study is two-fold: first to validate previous findings, that showed that the central atom in (bacterio)chlorophyll changes ligand coordination number upon being cooled at a certain rate (in certain solvents), and to resolve the Qx and Qy bands from the total absorption spectrum. We studied bacteriochlorophyll A (BChl A), bacteriochlorophyll C (BChl C), and chlorophyll A (Chl A)

This bachelor’s degree project investigates the improvement of the functionality, comfort, and aesthetics of forearm crutches for people living with temporary or chronic mobility limitations. The target group of individuals aged 40-65 reflects a wide range of lifestyles, from short-distance mobility to commuting. Through interviews and observations with individuals that belong to the target group,

Failure in change detection in the surrounding environment while driving is attributed among other things to the number of incidents and the density of them occurring along the task as this is directly related to an increase in cognitive load. Here, we investigate the role of time proximity between events on the detection performance during a naturalistic driving task in a virtual simulation. Part

Everyday tasks such as driving, and cycling, involve continuous predictions to fulfil the requirements of situation awareness. In these tasks, it is common for people to use predictions to address visual occlusion events or moments when information is out of sight as a result of human embodiment and natural locomotion. While the visual system is efficient in predicting small-scale visual actions (

I början av juni presenterade Straffreformutredningen En straffreform. I betänkandet föreslås en rad straffskärpande åtgärder. Påföljdssystemet ska bygga på ett val mellan villkorligt och ovillkorligt fängelse, närmare 50 straffskalor ska skärpas, och systemet för att bestämma straff ska ses över. Syftet är att fler och längre fängelsestraff ska dömas ut. Straffreformutredningen uppskattar att för

Everyday driving relies on cognitive functions such as visual search, change detection and predictive attention for maintaining a high-level mental model of the world. Such functions are especially constrained by limited cognitive resources under complex conditions. Understanding the manner in which environmental complexity influences cognitive driving performance is key to improving road safety a

I denna masteruppsats studerar vi tvådimensionella vattenvågor utan gravitation. Dessa vågor modelleras med Eulerekvationerna, som beskriver rörelsen av en idealiserad vätska. Det som skiljer vattenvågsproblemet från många liknande problem, och som gör det unikt utmanande, är att lösningens domän är okänd a priori. Antagandet av nollgravitation är en av flera förenklingar som gör problemet hanterIn this thesis we explore two-dimensional water waves with zero gravity. Zero gravity waves were only recently given a rigorous study in recent papers, by Hur and Wheeler, and by Gonçalves Jorge Dias de Carvalho. The assumption of zero gravity simplifies many aspects of the problem, while making some more complex. We study the properties of these waves, and seek to lay some groundwork for further

This thesis presents a generative deep learning framework for outpainting of missing regions in partial fingerprint images. The architecture builds on a U-Transformer backbone, incorporating Swin Transformer blocks and trained within a GAN setup using the WGAN-GP loss to ensure stable adversarial learning. The model learns to create plausible extensions of fingerprint images, maintaining ridge str

Satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) represents a promising supplement to traditional Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methods, offering a non-invasive solution that eliminates the need for sensor installations and provides extensive spatial coverage. The European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), developed by the European Space Agency under the Copernicus program, marks a

Background and Purpose: Malignant melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer, characterised by a poor survival rate. One of the key factors driving the aggressive growth of melanoma cells is the elevated expression of the proto-oncogene Bcl-3. This study aims to optimise, evaluate and characterise a second-generation Bcl-3 inhibitor, using melanoma as a model to demonstrate its potential ther

Introduction: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) frequently exists alongside psychiatric comorbidities. The coexistence of somatic diseases and ADHD constitutes a growing field of research. Method: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of common somatic diseases in adolescents with ADHD and compare them with those in adolescents without any psychiatric diagnoses. A cross-sectiona
