Postnatal depression is a highly prevalent problem, with widespread negative consequences for mother and infant. To understand whether Infant Carrying might be able to protect from or mitigate postnatal depression onset, this online study was conducted using a German and American sample of mothers in the first 6 months postpartum (N = 217). The aim was to gather further knowledge on the relationsh

With the sustainable potential of the city as a starting point, this thesis examines brownfield redevelopment in an existing urban context. The Nørrebro neighborhood of Copenhagen serves as a case. The focus is on learning from and reinterpreting existing urban structure, hierarchy, density and scale. Legislation allowing car free development at the chosen site, Vingelodden, also prompts explorati

The needs and wishes of older people have often been forgotten in urban planning in recent decades. Yet already today, more than one billion of the world‘s population is over 60 years old, and according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), one in six people will be over 60 by 2030 - an increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 and up to 2.1 billion by 2050 (WHO, 2024). Like many European countries, Switz

— Infektioner i blodomloppet är en livshotande diagnos som kräver snabb behandling. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt hur diagnostiska modeller kan förbättras med hjälp av maskininlärningsbaserade prediktionsmetoder. Det långsiktiga målet är att bidra till utvecklingen av kliniska stödverktyg som kan förkorta svarstider och bidra till en minskad användning av antibiotika. — Infektioner i bloThis thesis explores the application of machine learning techniques to improve the diagnosis of bloodstream infections (BSIs) using tabular data extracted from Swedish electronic health records maintained by Region Skåne. BSIs are associated with high mortality rates, especially when diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Traditional diagnostic methods like blood cultures are time-consuming and can

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Allt flera människor flyr från sitt hemland pga. krig, hot eller förföljelse, de söker skydd hos mottagande land. Papperslösa personer tillhör dessa grupp av människor, de är en extremt utsatt grupp bland Europas befolkning både inom vården och bland allmänheten. De får oftast ojämlikt vård och riskerar därför att få sämre hälsoutfall jämfört med resten av befolkning. MajoriteteAbstract Background: An increasing number of people are fleeing their home countries due to war, threats, or persecution, seeking refuge in host countries. Undocumented individuals are part of this group, constituting an extremely vulnerable population in Europe, both in healthcare settings and among the public. They often receive unequal treatment and are at risk of poorer health outcomes compare

Mitt examensarbete har varit ett undersökande kring vilka riktlinjer som bör finnas för arkitekturen i ett villaområde. Det har också varit en process där jag utforskat nya sätt att tänka kring villatomtens utformning och användning. Examensarbetet utspelar sig i villaområdet Nya Bellevue i Malmö. Området växte fram i början av 1900-talet, under en tid då staden växte som mest. Detta, i samband meMy thesis is an exploration regarding guidelines for the architecture in a residential area. It is a process of exploring new ways of thinking about the design and usage of the residential property. The project is situated in residential area Nya Bellevue in Malmö. The area was developed in the beginning of the 18th century, a time of significant urban development and city growth. This, along with

Dark matter is the problem of apparent missing mass in the universe, a discrepancy between observations of large-scale astronomical dynamics, and the observed matter density in large scale structures. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed experiment to probe the realm of “light dark matter" in the mass range MeV to GeV. Light dark matter refers to a class of models where a new

The last mass-extinction event happened over 65 million years ago when an asteroid collided with earth, resulting in the loss of 76% of all species. Scientists now warn that we are on the precipice of a new mass-extinction, the responsibility of which can be placed entirely on one species, the homo sapiens. While some species of birds, bats, and arthropods are especially vulnerable, we are all int

Insektssamlingar hjälper oss att bevara stävmalarnas okända liv Många fjärilsarter påverkas snabbt och negativt när deras livsmiljöer förändras. Flera arter bland de undanskymda stävmalarna är idag därför mycket ovanliga, såsom hässlestävmalen, vars hemvist i en hasseldunge Öland idag är den enda i hela Norden. För att den biodiversitet de bidrar till ska kunna bevaras till framtida generationer,The historical record is an underutilised resource within many fields of biology, despite its unique uses. In this thesis, I have used information from entomological collections and species observation systems to investigate and elaborate on the distribution, habitat preferences and phenology of some rare and poorly known moths within the family of Gelechiidae. Like many other microlepidoptera, ge

EQUITY: The Center Of Inequality Awareness offers an alternative viewpoint of the Naturum. It'sa way of learning about your surroundings through engaging activities that center on inequity. EQUITY, which is situated next to one of Sweden's greatest lime quarry, feels strongly about its cause, which is the inequality the workers had compared to investors. I was inspired by the uneven and n

Examensarbetet Plats för fler i Lund undersöker möjligheterna och utmaningarna i att ge nytt liv åt en förbisedd urban plats. Projektet utgår från frågor om hur offentlig arkitektur kan främja en social blandning, hur kulturhistoriska värden kan influera en ny gestaltning och hur det omgivande stadsrummet kan användas som inspiration och ge indicier om vad som kan kompletteras i stadens urbana milThe thesis Room for More in Lund examines the possibilities and challenges of giving new life to an overlooked urban space. The project is rooted in questions about how public architecture can promote a social mix, how cultural-historical values can influence a new design and how the surrounding urban space can be used as inspiration and provide indications of what can add to the city’s urban envi

PLC-system (Programmable Logic Controller) är robusta realtidssystem som används för att styra fysiska processer i krävande miljöer. Moderna PLC-system är väldigt kapabla, men skulle systemet mot förmodan gå på knä, kan man alltid installera ännu ett PLC-system i mån av plats. En lyx som inte finns ombord på ubåtar, där man istället behöver hushålla med befintliga system. Med hjälp av två matematiThis master’s thesis is commissioned by SAAB Group with the purpose of developing a model which can be used to estimate the margin for expansion of devices in PLC systems. Although commercial PLC systems are hard real-time systems, they have inherited unpredictable characteristics due to off-the-shelves components. This makes it difficult to measure the impact on performance when a new device is c

Pack-bed framtidens medicintekniska diagnostik? Kroppens celler kommunicerar genom att skicka information till varandra via små partiklar. Genom att fånga in dessa kan man ta del av denna information och olika sjukdomar kan därigenom detekteras. I detta arbete undersöks Pack-bed, en ny teknik där akustik används för sådan infångning.In this master thesis a novel way of trapping nanosized particles were tested. The technology used was based on acoustic trapping with seed particles. In difference to earlier devices the seed particles were held in place by a physical barrier that worked like a filter, stopping the bigger seed particles while allowing the nanosized particles to flow through, a setup that allowed for significantly

Grass pollen allergens, including Phl p 5 from Phleum pratense, are major triggers of seasonal allergic rhinitis, primarily mediated by IgE antibodies. This study investigates the genetic basis and functional characteristics of IgG1 antibodies targeting Phl p 5, possibly derived from type 2 memory B cells predisposed to IgE switching. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we analyzed variants of a high

Simulating the behavior of charged particles in linear accelerators requires calculating the effects of electromagnetic fields on the particles. One source of these fields is the particles themselves, through the so-called space charge self-field. To compute this field, the Poisson equation must be solved using the charge distribution of the particle bunch. In most cases, this cannot be done analy
