Att ha en webb som är tillgänglig åt alla människor är viktigt i dagens digitala samhälle. För att designa tillgängliga webbplatser finns flera lagar, riktlinjer och rekommendationer som offentliga aktörer bör försöka efterleva. Men vad innebär dessa krav i praktiken? Detta examensarbete, genomfört i samarbete med Region Skåne, syftar till att undersöka om automatiserade testverktyg kan användas f

Peripheral regions experience difficulties competing against core-regions competitiveness. Although studies have proposed that innovation is an aspect peripheral regions could focus on to combat this inequality, many innovation strategies are developed for urban core-regions and are not applicable on peripheral regions to the same extent. Earlier research has shown that peripheral regions benefit

Luftföroreningar är ett globalt hälso- och miljöproblem och orsakar att varje år dör 4 miljoner människor i förtid. Även om Sverige har förbättrat luftkvaliteten, uppskattas över 7 tusen varje år dö till följd av föroreningar. De tre vanligaste föroreningarna är partiklar (PM10, PM2.5) och kvävedioxid (NO2). Orsakerna till föroreningar är huvudsakligen vägtrafikens utsläpp, grus på vägar som mals

BackgroundEven though the importance of a facilitator during an implementation process is well described, the facilitator’s role is rarely problematized in relation to the organizational context in terms of power and legitimacy; themes which have recently been brought to the fore when studying change in health care organizations. Therefore, in this article, we present a qualitative study with the

Vid brott med kopplingar till lokala kriminella nätverk är svårigheten att få individer att vittna påtaglig. Åtskilliga individer väljer att förhålla sig passiva och tysta mot rättsväsendet, vilket leder till få uppklarade brott. Vad gäller individer inom nätverken beror tystnaden primärt på faktorer som enskilt gynnande av brottslighet samt inställningen mot rättsväsendet. Hos individer som inte When criminal groups based in socially disadvantaged areas commit crime, there is shown a noticeable difficulty in obtaining witnesses, which leads to few solved cases. Reasons why individuals active in the networks choose to remain silent towards the judicial system depend on factors such as their individual benefits of crime in conjunction with their approach towards the legal system. What conce

The technical development of high-throughput sequencing technologies and the parallel development of targeted therapies in the last decade have enabled a transition from traditional medicine to personalized treatment and care. In this way, by using comprehensive genomic testing, more effective treatments with fewer side effects are provided to each patient—that is, precision or personalized medici

Precision medicine should aspire to reduce error and improve accuracy in medical and health recommendations by comparison with contemporary practice, while maintaining safety and cost-effectiveness. The etiology, clinical manifestation and prognosis of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and fatty liver disease are heterogeneous. Without standardized reportin

Introduction: Atrial septal defect is the third most common CHD. A hemodynamically significant atrial septal defect causes volume overload of the right side of the heart. Preterm children may suffer from both pulmonary and cardiac comorbidities, including altered myocardial function. The aim of this study was to compare the rate of adverse events following atrial septal defect closure in preterm-

This presentation focuses the emotional dilemmas of social workers who recruit and assess foster parents, in a context increasingly defined by market dynamics. Following privatization paralleled with increasing need for childcare, private and public actors today compete to contract potential foster parents in Sweden. For this paper, 43 interviews (with social workers and managers), 21 observation

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are increasing at alarming rates worldwide, presenting significant public health challenges. A key player in these conditions is GLUT4, a protein that helps transports glucose into cells in response to insulin. Proper function of GLUT4 is crucial for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and overall metabolic health.To address this, in this thesis I have explored the m

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the etiological agent of gonorrhea, the second most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Reproductive sequelae of gonorrhea include infertility, ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic pain. Most antibiotics currently in clinical use have been rendered ineffective due to the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance among gonococci. The developmental pipe

The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner’s home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms. Birds and mammals, insects, worms and not least plants live their lives intermingled in the contemporary human habitations of single-house suburbs. Thus, home gardens provide plenty of material to reflect on and handle biodiversity and sustainability issues in The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner's home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms.
