Framtidens metod för pulsmätning utan direktkontakt Med hjälp av en ny metod att mäta puls, kan pulsen detekteras enklare och bättre på flera sätt. Metoden som presenteras i detta arbete använder en kamera för att i realtid kunna mäta patientens puls på avstånd. Detta leder till att patienten kan röra sig mer fritt under mätningarna. Det underlättar även för långtidsövervakning samt ger ett mer kMeasurements of heart rate without contact can be of much importance when the possibilities of skin contact for different reasons are limited, or for monitoring at distance over time. This is an emerging area in our time, and the idea to construct a working system to demonstrate the technique was therefore born. The work has been performed at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at LTH. The m

Det är viktigt för blivande läkare att kunna göra korrekta riskbedömningar utifrån patienters testresultat. Tidigare forskning indikerar att den förmågan kan vara bristfällig, men att den går att förbättra genom ett nytt format att presentera statistik på. Det nya formatet kallas naturliga antal och är potentiellt användbart inom undervisning i medicinsk statistik. Den här studien är den första i The ability to draw diagnostic inferences from medical test results is important for future doctors. Earlier research has indicated that this ability may generally be inadequate. However, it can be improved by presenting statistics in a new format, so called natural frequencies, which is adapted to the way the human mind process probabilities. If the effect of this format is robust and generalizab

Transporten i och genom de biologiska membranerna är väldigt viktig och har många applikationer i mat- och läkemedel industrier. Dessa membranerna består av dubbel-lager av lipid molekyler. Genom att blanda två olika sorter av lipiderna diglycerolmonooleate (DGMO) och glycerol monooleate (GMO-50) med nano-partikelstabilisatorpolysorbate 80 (P80) i överskott av vatten skapar det en lipidblandning m

Postindustrial Malmö relies heavily on stories and images as engines for economic growth. Cities use place marketing strategies to attract capital, investments and affluent residents. The evident focus on economic growth has led to a significantly polarized city in which people with low-incomes, usually ethnic minorities, live in segregated areas such as Rosengård. Segregated and poor areas become

In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w

The chosen m

Histopathology is the procedure used in medicine to optically examine microscope-images of tissue samples (biopsies) in order to study the manifestation of disease. It is used, for example, to diagnose the spread and type of cancer tumors, which have implications on the chosen treatment. Currently this type of analysis is done manually by trained professionals. It is time consuming and the diagnos

The present research seeks to understand interviews I have conducted with selected individuals in Budapest, Hungary. Through an analysis based on well-established feminist theory I analyse what the dimensions of quality and character of life can be like for those committed to an environmentally conscious lifestyle, and ultimately gives credence to the notion that there might be deeper psychologica

Metallisk bearbetning har varit en del av den industriella utvecklingen sedan järnåldern. Sedan dess har det ändrat form och kriterier men effektivitet i skärande bearbetning av metall har varit ett av de största målen i den industriella världen lika länge. För att ha maximal effektivitet krävs en viss nivå av processbeteende, vilket är det som inspirerade examensarbetet. Projektet genomfördes i sMetal cutting has been part of industrial development since the iron age. Since then, it has changed shapes and criteria, but efficiency in metal cutting has been one of the biggest goals in the industrial world for just as long. To have maximum efficiency requires some level of process behavior prediction, which inspired the degree project. The project was conducted in collaboration with Lund Uni

Offentligt anställda har enligt regeringsformen krav på sig att iaktta saklighet och opartiskhet för att upprätthålla allmänhetens förtroende för staten. För att säkerställa att bestämmelserna efterföljs, har lagen om offentlig anställning införlivat regler om bisysslor. Lagstiftningen kompletteras av vidare bestämmelser i de statliga kollektivavtalen. En bisyssla kan omfatta i princip vilket åtagIn order to maintain the public’s trust, the Instrument of Government dictates that all public employees must act objectively and impartial. To ensure compliance with this regulation, the Public Employment Act has incorporated legislation on incidental employment. Incidental employment refers to any employment, assignment or activity that may harm the reputation of the authority. This is further r

De s.k. fåmansföretagsreglerna i 57 kap. IL syftar till att motverka att aktiva delägare omvandlar arbetsinkomster till lägre beskattade kapitalinkomster. När utomstående passiva delägare äger viss andel av bolaget blir en inkomstomvandling inte längre fördelaktig. I 57 kap. 5 § finns därför en undantagsregel från de särskilda beskattningsreglerna i 57 kap. IL, den s.k. utomståenderegeln. Om incitThe 3:12 rules, found in Chapter 57 of the Swedish Income Tax Act (1999:1229), consists of special tax rules which apply to active owners in closely held corporations (fåmansföretag). The rules aim to prevent active owners from transforming salary income into lower taxed capital income. If passive owners have an ownership of at least 30 % of the shares, income shifting is no longer beneficial. The

Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett utbrett problem i samhället som innefattar systematiserat psykiskt och fysiskt våld. Våldets normaliseringsprocess leder till svårigheter att lämna relationen och kan i slutändan innebära att kvinnan ser dödande av mannen som den enda utvägen. Det råder en diskussion huruvida denna handling kan omfattas av nödvärn som ansvarsfrihetsgrund. Svårigheter råder i att avgöraMen's violence against women is a widespread problem in society that involves systematic psychological and physical violence. The normalization process of violence leads to difficulties in leaving the relationship and may ultimately entail that the woman perceives the killing of the man as the only way out. There is a discussion as to whether this act can be covered by self- defense as a basis

In scholarly literature, it is widely acknowledged that ‘the shadow of hierarchy’, hence the threat of disadvantageous Community legislation, is an important con-cept in European social dialogue (ESD), where European social partners – that is organised labour and management – are given the chance to negotiate binding agreements on some aspects of European labour and social policy. While the shadow
