Epidural anesthesia is a common pain relief method that has grown in popularity over the last few decades. It is administered into the epidural space, a narrow compartment within the spinal canal. The space is localized by inserting a needle between the vertebrae. Due to the sudden loss of resistance upon entering the epidural space, combined with its narrow diameter, the procedure is difficult t
Supplier performance has become increasingly important for industrial companies as suppliers play acriticalroleinoperationalefficiency,deliveryreliability,andlong-termcompetitiveness. Despite this, many organizations still lack structured systems for evaluating and monitoring supplier per- formance. This thesis addresses this challenge through a case study conducted at Sandvik Rock Processing, whe

Ett problem med parkeringsapplikationer är att användare ofta glömmer att avsluta aktiva parkeringssessioner, vilket leder till överbetalning. Denna uppsats designar och utvärderar automatisk avslutning av parkering på ett sätt som minskar överbetalning samtidigt som användarnas tillit och kontroll bevaras, samt utvärderar resultatet. Projektet resulterade i en testapplikation för iOS med en automA problem with parking applications is that users often forget to end active parking sessions, which leads to overpayment. This thesis designs and implements automatic parking termination in a way that reduces overpayment, while preserving user trust and control, as well as evaluating the results. The project resulted in an iOS test application with an automatic termination feature called AutoStop
Den här rapporten kommer gå igenom designprocessen och resultatet för produkten BRIO EXPLORE; ett komplement till BRIOs tågbana. För barn är allt i världen nytt och underligt. För att tolka och förstå livet, och det som existerar runt omkring dem, använder barn lek. De övar på sociala interaktioner, låtsas att de lagar mat, städar eller odlar, härmar djurläten eller samlar stenar. Att utforska genThis report will outline the design process and result for the product called BRIO EXPLORE; a complement to BRIOs railway system. For children, everything in the world is new, and strange. To make sense of life and the things that exist around them, children use play. They practice social interaction, pretend to cook, clean or garden, mimick animal sounds, or collect rocks. Exploring through play
This study aims to analyse the nature of the dynamical exchange correlation field in the Hubbard-Holstein model. The goal being to find the dependence of such a field on the model parameters much like in analogy with Density Functional Theory. In order to do so, we begin by studying the analytical solutions of simple systems, such as the Hubbard dimer and small Holstein systems. This will then be
Biodiversity is vital for ecosystem services underpinning food production and societal well-being, yet agriculture and food systems also contribute to its decline. Companies therefore play a central role, both as contributors to the problem and as agents of change, particularly in the context of increasing EU sustainability reporting and compliance requirements. The region of Scania in southern S
Detta kandidatarbete undersöker hur utformningen av en produkt kan förenkla vardagshandling och minska beroendet av bil vid inköp av dagligvaror. Arbetet tar sin utgångspunkt i en målgrupp som lever utan bil, ofta i mindre bostäder, och som upplever svårigheter med att integrera spontana eller nödvändiga inköp i en tidspressad vardag mellan jobb, skola och aktiviteter. Syftet har varit att utvecklThis bachelor’s thesis examines how the design of a product can simplify everyday grocery shopping and reduce car dependency. The project focuses on a target group that lives without a car, often in smaller apartments, and faces challenges integrating spontaneous or necessary purchases into a time-pressed daily schedule of work, school, and activities. The aim has been to develop an aid that facil
In recent years, global supply chains have become increasingly exposed to disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions, wars, and other external uncertainties. At ASSA ABLOY's Business Segment Pedestrian (BSP), this has led to a need to reassess the current sourcing strategy, particularly within inbound logistics, where a strong dependence on a limited number of sourcing locations has created v
ygg- och anläggningssektorn står inför växande utmaningar kopplade till resurser, klimatpåverkan och tillgången till jungfruliga ballastmaterial. Samtidigt har omställningen mot en mer cirkulär ekonomi ökat intresset för återvunna material såsom slaggrus från avfallsförbränning. Trots dokumenterade tekniska egenskaper och flera framgångsrika tillämpningar i Sverige och utomlands är användningen av
Detta examensarbete undersöker potentialen och begränsningarna för lokal eldelning i småhusområden genom att analysera sambandet mellan lokal solcellsproduktion och elkonsumtion i befintliga lågspänningsnät på landsbygden. Studien baseras på kvartsupplöst mätdata från E.ON Energidistribution från år 2025, med konsumtions- och produktionsdata från enskilda hushåll och fem nätstationer. Målet var atThis master thesis investigates the potential and limitations of local electricity sharing in residential distribution networks by analysing the correlation between local photovoltaic (PV) generation and electricity consumption in existing rural low-voltage grids. The study is based on quarter-hour resolution measurement data from 2025 provided by E.ON, including consumption and production data fr

In Sweden every property unit needs to go through a suitability judgement when subdivided or amended. The judgement asks whether the property unit is suitable for its intended use regarding how the property unit´s boundary is drawn. What constitutes a suitable property unit is well established for most types of uses. This is not the case for property units with a dam on them, so called dam-propert
Denna studie menade att undersöka ifall det går att förstå studenters beteenden i studierelaterade situationer utifrån expectancy-value teorin. Beteendena delades in i de fyra kategorierna: studier, andra konstruktiva beteenden, self-handicapping och prokrastinering. Metodiken i studien användes i syfte att spegla expectancy-value teorin där värderingen av en konsekvens samt förväntan att den konsThis study aimed to explore students' behaviours in relation to studies, based on the practical use of the expectancy-value theory. The behaviours were categorized into four different categories: studies, constructive behaviours, self-handicapping and procrastination. The methodology was designed to reflect the expectancy-value theory since the expected consequence of a certain behaviour and t
Gender tests in sports have become increasingly popular amongst sports gov-erning bodies. Even the International Olympic Committee only recently, in March 2026, introduced a new rule requiring female athletes to undergo ge-netic testing to be allowed to compete in the female category. This article ex-amines gender testing in sport and the question of whether these regulations violate the human rig
This thesis examines whether and how external ESG-related pressures are integrated into internal management control practices within a Chinese firm context.
Conventional monoclonal antibodies that function via occupancy-based inhibition often fall short due to drug resistance and non-enzymatic scaffolding functions that persist despite successful inhibition of the target protein. Antibody-based proteolysis targeting chimeras (AbTACs) utilize a novel event-driven modality allowing for specific degradation of the target protein. This study investigated
The purpose of this study was to investigate social workers’ competence, use of, and attitudes towards artificial intelligence (AI) within social work services, with a focus on identifying how AI affects the professional role. The reason we wish to research this subject is that artificial intelligence has become increasingly relevant in society and may come to influence social work in various ways
This thesis investigates how the 2004 European Union enlargement influenced economic development in border regions of new member states. Using a synthetic difference-in-differences approach on panel data for NUTS 3 regions across all EU member states between 1995-2024, the analysis estimates the causal effect of EU accession on border regions relative to interior regions. The results show that lan
This project addresses the challenge of designing for permanence within a heavily gentrified and tourist-driven environment. It responds directly to local housing needs while integrating small-scale tourism and establishing clear spatial boundaries to safeguard local biodiversity. While housing constitutes the central focus of the proposal, the project also argues that permanence cannot be secur
