Methodology: This study conducted a relativist ontology and a constructionist epistemology to allow for the most relevant interpretations of the empirical data. This qualitative research adopts an inductive approach which reflects ove
Objectives: To examine the joint effects and mediating role of cardiovascular health (CVH) in the association between social determinants of health and mortality among postmenopausal women. Study design: A nationally representative cohort of 7577 postmenopausal women from NHANES 2003–2018, with mortality follow-up through 2019. Main outcome measures: Social determinants of health were derived from
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Målsättningen med detta arbete är att ta fram en metod för att kartera och analysera den rumsliga variationen av landskapets sårbarhet för miljögifter, samt att visa hur geografiska informationssystem (GIS) kan underlätta denna rumsliga kartering och analys. Analysen utfördes inom vattenskyddsområdet Ignaberga-Hässleholm i Hässleholms kommun. Först studerades For many centuries, fresh water has been a matter of course for the population of Sweden. During the last years, the menace to the ground water quality has attracted great attention. Some recent investigations have shown that pesticides are found in many of the municipal ground water supply. The purpose of this thesis is to find a method of analyzing the spatial variation of how vulnerable the lan

The city of Helsingborg in southern Sweden has long been divided by its residents between North and South – first because of economic development, and later due to immigration. The City Planning Department hopes to address this division as part of an ambitious 25-year urban development project in the industrial harbour which borders the two central, divided districts of the city – Centrum and Söde
Det har skrivits mycket om Karen Blixen genom åren, både av danska, svenska och engelsktalande författare. Hennes liv och författarskap har fascinerat många, så även mig. I min uppsats kommer jag att ta fasta på några frågeställningar med anknytning till Den afrikanske farm. Ett syfte är att belysa genreproblematiken, och svårigheten att sätta in Den afrikanske farm i något av de vedertagna genre
I September 2009 öppnade den nya konventionen om godsbefordran till sjöss för signering i Rotterdam. Om den nya konventionen lyckas i det den har intention att göra, vilket är att harmonisera reglerna om godsbefordran till sjöss, kommer den nästan hundra år gammal regimen Haag reglerna att försvinna. Dessa konventioner reglerar tillsammans med Haag-Visby och Hamburg reglerna ansvaret för skada på In September 2009, the new convention concerning carriage of goods by sea opened for signing in Rotterdam. If the convention succeeds in what it sets out to do, harmonising the carriage of goods by sea regulations throughout the world, the almost a century old regime of the Hague Rules will be discarded. These conventions, together with the Hague-Visby Rules and the Hamburg Rules, regulate the lia
Problem Formulation: The return on invest and value of a business incubator is usually calculated through financial figures from the incubators alumni companies. However, an incubator does not coach companies; it coaches people. Thereby it would be more interesting to measure value of the persons, the alumni entrepreneurs, who went through the incubation program. Purpose: Explore how an incubator
The 21st century has developed so quickly digitally that information spreads so quickly through e-word-of-mouth. To effectively communicate, companies have to find a way to spread their own messages in a fast, unique way to entice their publics. In the fashion industry, instead of using their own websites and social media, which can be viewed as untrustworthy, many companies turn to partnerships w
Multirotor UAVs have in recent years become a trend among academics, engineers and hobbyists alike due to their mechanical simplicity and availability. Commercial uses range from surveillance to recreational flight with plenty of research being conducted in regards to design and control. With applications towards search and rescue missions in mind, the main objective of this thesis work is the de
Background: Chronic prurigo (CPG) is a distinct disease characterized by chronic pruritus, history and/or signs of prolonged scratching and multiple pruriginous lesions. It may present with various clinical manifestations, including papules, nodules, plaques or umbilicated lesions. Some patients with chronic pruritus show pruriginous linear and scaring scratch lesions (LSSL) and it is unclear whet
We consider the problem of finding solutions to systems of polynomial equations over a finite field. Lokshtanov et al. [SODA'17] recently obtained the first worst-case algorithms that beat exhaustive search for this problem. In particular for degree-d equations modulo two in n variables, they gave an O∗2(1−1/(5d))n time algorithm, and for the special case d = 2 they gave an O∗20.876n time algorith
The paper explores what the methodological considerations are for a study of educational practice and networked learning in technologically dense classrooms. The approach of the discussed study is informed by Actor-Network Theory (ANT) (Latour, 2005) and the paper outlines the methodological consequences for adopting principles associated with ANT and post-humanist critiques of representational ep
Background. Proton therapy of lung cancer holds the potential for a reduction of the volume of irradiated normal lung tissue. In this work we investigate the robustness of intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans to motion, and evaluate a geometrical tumour tracking method to compensate for tumour motion. Material and methods. Seven patients with a nine targets with 4DCT scans were selected
Background Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in primary care and leads to a high number of antibiotic prescriptions. Antimicrobial resistance is a global health problem; better antimicrobial prescribing is one way to limit antimicrobial resistance. We aimed to describe the number of consultations for patients diagnosed with lower urinary tract infection (LUTI) and pyelonephritis and changes
BACKGROUND: The majority of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) occur at place residence, which is associated with worse outcomes in unselected prehospital populations. Our aim was to investigate whether location of arrest was associated with outcome in a selected group of initial survivors admitted to intensive care.METHODS: This is a post-hoc analysis of the Targeted Temperature Management a
There is a need for methods that distinguish Parkinson’s disease (PD) from progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), which have similar characteristics in the early stages of the disease. In this prospective study, we evaluate mapping of apparent susceptibility based on susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) for differential diagnosis. We included 134 patients with PD,
