Background: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COV
The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity has long been elusive. Only recently have empirical predictions of various possible theories of quantum gravity been put to test, where a clear signal of quantum properties of gravity is still missing. The dawn of multi-messenger high-energy astrophysics has been tremendously beneficial, as it allows us to study particles with much higher
Background: Pancreatic cancer continues to retain the highest mortality rate among all major organ cancers. New strategies for early detection are being proposed to increase long-term survival. A plethora of molecular markers are discovered yearly, but so far none have demonstrated screening utility. Summary: Promising discovery technologies include affinity-based proteomics and ddPCR. In the vali
Lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS), as they are dependent on artificial intelligence (AI), do not yet exist. Nevertheless, their future compliance with International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is currently an issue requiring research and debate. Hitherto, less has been said regarding LAWS’ compliance with International Human Rights Law (IHRL). This report aims to shed light on these issues. Prim
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between authenticity and symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and life satisfaction in the context of the theoretically related constructs of adult romantic attachment, reflective functioning and insight in a convenience sample of Swedish adults. One hundred and ninety-one participants were recru
Compassion fatigue is often used interchangeably with burnout and secondary traumatic stress in literature. There is, however, theoretical support for considering compassion fatigue as a separate condition. The aim of this pilot study was to create a compassion fatigue scale and examine its relation to burnout and secondary traumatic stress as well as to explore how descriptive variables affect le
Ti(C,O) coatings have been generated in a hot wall CVD system on WC/Co, fine and coarse grained Ti(C,N), TiN, Cr and c-BN substrates. The research in this thesis has focused on deposition, characterization, and analysis in the perspective of the bonding layer of a coated insert. The precursors, H2, TiCl4, CO, temperature and pressure have been coupled to the texture using a Design of Experiment so
The purpose of this study was to find the dynamics between professionals’ discretion and how it is expressed in the residential care homes for children and young people. Six qualitative semi structured interviews were conducted with professionals' who work in direct contact with children and youths on residential care. The interviews were presented and analyzed based on the theories of street-
Healthcare is one of the largest and most essential industries in the world. eHealth systems, which includes information systems in healthcare, provides opportunity to monitor and administrate patients. The purpose of eHealth systems, for instance electronic medical records, is to decrease administrative workload and improve healthcare. However, previous research shows a lot of time spent in the s
In search of sustainable cities, the compact green city has become an ideal for urban planners globally and green infrastructure has been reevaluated since raised awareness of the multifunctions of greenery. Consequently, the interest in urban agriculture has been renewed and new forms of projects are currently being established internationally. Being an explicit advantageous sustainable planning
Direct bandgap metal lead halide perovskites offer promising optoelectronic properties desirable in a wide range of applications including photodetection. However, the incomplete and poor understanding of the photophysical processes taking place in these materials, along with their poor stability, is the bottleneck for optimisation and further development of metal halide perovskite devices. In thi
This paper employs a zombie classification following (Storz et al., 2017) to examine the phenomenon of zombie firms and low interest rates in Denmark using a comprehensive harmonized firm-level micro dataset from ORBIS covering the period 2002-2019. Specifically, the questions addressed are whether the prevalence of zombie firms increased due to low interest rates and has surviving as a zombie bec
The purpose of the study was to examine how common exhaustion was among students of Lund’s University. An additional aim was to investigate to what extent the factors self-esteem, gender, social support, physical activity and being in nature could predict exhaustion in the sample. A cross-sectional web-survey consisting of Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale (KEDS), Rosenberg’s Self-esteem Scale
The versatility and pervasiveness of social media websites in human life have created an opportunity to employ them in several contexts other than the merely social ones. In particular, social media have been being used by students as an additional tool to help with their studies, even when academic institutions usually provide them with educational systems (also known as learning management syste
Title: A framework for how logistics service providers should handle returns as a warehouse operation for pure e-commerce companies Authors: Louise Meurling and Matilda Sturesson Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Division of Engineering Logistics at LTH Problem description: Managing the reverse logistics process in a warehouse is a central part of the activities for companies operating in e-commerce.
With the rapid production of sportswear and its price advantage, consumption has also increased significantly, which has a rather negative impact on the environment, society, and the economy. Fashion retailers and their consumers are also well aware of this, and their demands for sustainable fashion have had a strong impact on the production of sportswear and consumer behaviour in recent years. Su
