The rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes among migrant populations from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) living in high-income countries (HICs) presents a significant public health challenge. Migrants often experience lifestyle changes, socioeconomic disadvantages and barriers to accessing healthcare, which can increase their risk for type 2 diabetes. This review explores the prevention an

The new ACR/EULAR classification criteria for APS differ from the previous Sydney criteria by incorporating a broader range of clinical manifestations beyond venous/arterial thromboembolism and obstetric complications. These include microvascular disease, heart valve disease and thrombocytopenia. We applied both classification systems to a cohort of 139 individuals diagnosed with primary APS in So

This thesis examines how Ellen Nordmark’s Epos (2024) relates to the epic genre. Rather than categorizing the work within a single, fixed genre, I employ close reading to analyze how it comments on, questions, and reformulates conventions on the epic genre. Particular attention is given to how Epos both reveals and reconfigures the epic tradition, and how the text emphasizes oral and aural modes o

Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the gold standard method for evaluating cardiac function and structure and is thus an important tool for diagnostics in cardiovascular disease. Recently, deep learning (DL) methods have achieved notable developments in various aspects of CMR. The aim of this thesis was to further assess

Mot bakgrund av det konstaterade glappet mellan policy och praktik vid behovsbedömning i svenska som andraspråk undersöker studien hur behovsbegreppet definieras och tillämpas på olika nivåer i skolans styrkedja, samt vilka faktorer som möjliggör respektive försvårar bedömningsprocessen. Utgångspunkten är skolförordningens formulering om det behövs. Tre delstudier genomfördes för att belysa behovs

This study explores how everyday ferry travel in transit spaces create experiences through the interplay of mundane and extraordinary interactions, focusing on the Øresundslinjen ferry between Helsingborg, Sweden, and Helsingør, Denmark. Drawing on the concepts of mundane tourism, the new mobilities paradigm, tourist gaze, and service-scape theories were used to examine the social, spatial, and em

Mer träffsäker datainsamling för framtidens proteser Hur kan vi få en konstgjord hand att kännas mer naturlig att styra? I mitt examensarbete har jag utvecklat ett system som samlar in och analyserar muskelsignaler från underarmen, med målet att förbättra styrningen av proteser. Resultaten visar att metoden ger tydligare och mer användbar information om muskelaktiviteten än enklare, konventionellThis study presents a custom surface electromyography (sEMG) data acquisition system combining the TI ADS1299 analog-to-digital converter, Teensy MicroMod micro-controller, and a Python-based graphical user interface for real-time signal monitoring and guided data collection. The system outperformed the widely used Ninapro dataset across all major classification metrics, demonstrating improved cla

Inspired by Quintilian, John Dewey and Michael Warner, I have developed and examined a pedagogical concept entitled student-driven imitation that seeks to strengthen the rhetorical agency of the individual learner. Student-driven imitation is a text-oriented imitation praxis that nurtures talent individually (Quintilian), is based on personal experience and goal-setting (Dewey), and fosters attent

Michael Warner has forwarded the idea that a public is constituted not by time or space, but by attention to and circulation of discourse. With this idea of public in mind, I advance the thought of receptiveness as a mode of rhetorical agency. To see receptiveness as a mode of rhetorical agency implies seeing receptiveness as a performative act with a transformative potential that both requires an

Controlling the surface morphology and chemical interaction is necessary for the development of advanced quantummaterials, particularly in low-dimensional systems. As the research increasingly focuses on miniature and nanoscaletechnologies, a fundamental understanding of localized or interface states becomes essential for successful integrationinto functional devices. This thesis investigates atom

Denna uppsats undersöker hur Lean Startup-principer kan stödja snabb filtrering och tidig validering av entreprenöriella idéer i osäkra sammanhang. Även om det empiriska fokuset ligger på digital finansiell utbildning för unga yrkesverksamma, är det övergripande målet att bedöma om en strukturerad, hypotesdriven metodik kan främja välinformerat beslutsfattande i de tidiga faserna av affärsutveckliThis thesis explores how Lean Startup principles can support the rapid filtering and early validation of entrepreneurial ideas in uncertain contexts. While the empirical focus is placed on digital financial education for young professionals, the broader objective is to assess whether a structured, hypothesis-driven methodology can support informed decision-making in the early stages of venture des

Denna studie undersöker skador vid farthinder med syfte att identifiera de bakomliggande orsakerna samt föreslå lämpliga åtgärder för att minska skador. Studien fokuserar på farthinder i Lund och Malmö. Genom att kombinera okulär inventering av skador med bakgrundsdata från kommunerna och multipel regressionsanalys har en mängd data samlats in och analyserats för att hitta samband mellan skador, tThis thesis investigates damage to speed humps with the aim of identifying the underlying causes and proposing appropriate measures to reduce the occurrence of damage. The study focuses on speed humps in Lund and Malmö. By combining visual inspection of damage with background data from municipalities and multiple regression analysis, a large amount of data was collected and analyzed to find correl

The dissertation De argutis imaginibus was presented in 1725, in Uppsala, Sweden, by supervisor Lars Arrhenius and respondent Johannes J. Dalenius. The text contains various ideas regarding emblem studies, and concerns itself with emblems as well as other argutae imagines – “witful images”. This thesis aims to present an overview of the content of the dissertation, and to frame this with a cultura

Motor sequence learning research has been primarily concerned with simple frequentist patterns, thereby neglecting the motor system's ability to handle uncertainty and non-deterministic environments. In this study, we combine methods from motor neuroscience and neurolinguistics to study how probabilistic systems are acquired during motor learning. Two groups of young adults practiced a probabilist

In the effort to obtain a precise measurement of leptonic CP-violation with the ESSνSB experiment, accurate and fast reconstruction of detector events plays a pivotal role. In this work, we examine the possibility of replacing the currently proposed likelihood-based reconstruction method with an approach based on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). As the likelihood-based reconstruction method is reason
