Background: Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is a major complication of preterm birth. Large haemorrhages are associated with a high risk of disability and hydrocephalus. Instability of blood pressure and cerebral blood in the newborn flow are postulated as causative factors. Another mechanism may involve reperfusion damage from oxygen free radicals. It has been suggested that phenobarbital stab

As the adverse impacts of hydrological extremes increase in many regions of the world, a better understanding of the drivers of changes in risk and impacts is essential for effective flood and drought risk management and climate adaptation. However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive, empirical data about the processes, interactions, and feedbacks in complex human-water systems leading to

With the rapid process of urbanization, water conflicts between different water use industries and areas are increasing. Therefore, China has implemented the three-cordons system of water resources management since 2012, when how to make more reasonable regulation of water resources became an urgent problem in most areas of China. In this study, taking the Yuanhe River Basin as an example, an inte

As part of the project FIRE21, a workshop was organised in Trondheim on September 8, 2023, inviting all project partners (Lund University, Research Institutes of Sweden, the Technical University of Denmark and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology) to brainstorm on potential problems for the fire and rescue services (FRS) in the 21st century, and recommendations on how to improve the

Despite various ongoing international initiatives, the intensity and frequency of weather-related natural hazards is expected to continue to increase globally. Increasing our understanding of how to mitigate the consequences of such natural hazards through better detection, planning and preparedness, has constituted the overarching objective of this thesis. The thesis is based on three papers: PapDespite various ongoing international initiatives, the intensity and frequency of weather-related natural hazards is expected to continue to increase globally.

Increasing climatic and human pressures are changing the world's water resources and hydrological processes at unprecedented rates. Understanding these changes requires comprehensive monitoring of water resources. Hydrogeodesy, the science that measures the Earth's solid and aquatic surfaces, gravity field, and their changes over time, delivers a range of novel monitoring tools that are complement

Particulate matter (PM) is a major component of ambient air pollution. PM exposure is linked to numerous adverse health effects, including chronic lung diseases. Air quality guidelines designed to regulate levels of ambient PM are currently based on the mass concentration of different particle sizes, independent of their origin and chemical composition. The objective of this study was to assess th

This thesis offers a cultural analysis of climate change, modernisation and sustainable development in the pastoral landscape of Baringo, Northern Kenya. For the majority of the pastoralists living there, life is defined by crippling poverty, ethnic violence and an increasingly erratic and unpredictable climate. In response, a growing number of people have moved away from the traditional reliance

In the last decade, Indonesia has seen a series of massive social media activism, especially on Twitter. As the activists strive to make their social movement visible on Twitter, they also face some threats due to the uncertainty of Twitter algorithms and potential surveillance. As many scholars have studied the role of social media algorithms for activism, this study intends to investigate the be

Uppsatsen utgår från komplexiteten som råder kring förmögenhetsbrotten. Möjligheterna för brotten har utvecklats i och med utvecklingen av näringslivet samtidigt som osäkerhetsmarginalerna är stora i brottsstatistiken. Rekvisiten i brottet trolöshet mot huvudman har en särskilt komplicerad uppbyggnad och bedömningen är inte alltid glasklar. Missbruksrekvisitet utgör kärnan i det brottsliga handlanThe background of this thesis stems from the complexity surrounding property crimes. The possibilities for the crimes have developed with the development of the business sector, while the margins of uncertainty are large in the crime statistics. The necessary conditions in the crime of disloyalty to principal are particularly complex and the assessment is not always clear-cut. The requirement of a

In Sweden, the demand on the electrical grid is increasing with the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. It is thereby important to optimize the charging stations for electrical vehicles connected to the grid. These charging stations can also include local energy generation and storage, which help decrease the demand on the grid, while supporting the charging of vehicles connected.

In this work, different solutions for human presence detection in a door intercom device are examined. The study was conducted at a company in Lund, Sweden. The aspiration was to have a reliable presence detection to be able to put the device in sleep mode when not used, and the current solution is not optimal because of limiting design requirements and false triggers. In the project, several diff

The following bachelor thesis aims to investigate how advertising on the social media application TikTok affects attitudes, consumer behaviour and brand awareness among their users aged 18-23 in Sweden. The ambition of the study is to contribute with research on how advertising is being recieved by TikTok's users, regarding attitudes and consumer behaviour, and establishing whether it is a suc

I en tid då staten och Svenska kyrkan i en lång process skilts åt och religionsfriheten stärkts i grundlagen har Svenska kyrkan skaffat sig kontroll över det existensiella stöd som erbjuds den svenska militären. Detta har kunnat göras genom att bygga avtal med Försvarsmakten kring det diskursiva begreppet militär själavård. Begreppet etablerades med utredningen Militär själavård, betänkande av utrAt a time when the state and the Church of Sweden in a long process separated and religious freedom was strengthened in the constitution, the Church of Sweden has gained control over the existential support offered to the Swedish armed forces This has been possible by building agreements with the Swedish Armed Forces on the discursive concept of military spiritual care. The concept was established

Unveiling the Immune System: Pleurodeles waltl and the Puzzle of Regeneration Salamanders like Pleurodeles waltl have extraordinary regenerative capabilities, these creatures can regrow limbs, tails, and even parts of their hearts, a stark contrast to humans, who have much more limited regenerative abilities. Previous studies have shown that the immune system plays a major role in the regenerati

This thesis highlights the social mission of the public library by studying the relationship between public libraries and social work. The aim is to increase knowledge about how the presence of library social workers (LSWs) in public libraries can be understood in the light of societal changes, perceptions on the public library’s social responsibility, and how this presence can affect the treatmen

University libraries have an important mission to support researchers in their work. Among researchers the PhD student is in a special position. They are in a process of transitioning from being students to becoming researchers. To properly support PhD students, it is important that the support is relevant to the group. The aim of this study is to increase the knowledge of how librarians and PhD s

This master’s thesis explores and discusses the discursive construction of the image of Sweden within the exhibition practice of the Swedish Institute in Paris, France (SI Paris). SI Paris is the only Swedish culture centre abroad and hosts several exhibitions portraying different elements of Swedish culture each year. SI Paris is a part of the larger organisation the Swedish Institute (SI) which

The condition of the Swedish railway has been frequently discussed, mainly during recent years. Lack of maintenance and budgetary allocation are words that constantly arise. During the winter the topic is notably higher, especially because of the media that regularly reports about cancelled and delayed train departures. This thesis will plunge into the difficulties that the railway sector will fac

Making decisions on what to acquire and what not to acquire is, and has been for centuries, a task that librarians are relied on to perform. Over the recent decades focus in acquisitions has turned slightly away from the expertise of the librarians towards the needs of the library users. Reasons for the turn has been lacking financial funds and a desire to increase service in libraries. The effect
