Denna uppsats syftar till att se till samspelet mellan de komplexa begreppen effektivitet och rationalitet. Det är två begrepp som vanligtvis förekommer inom verksamheten som jagar ständig förbättring. Vi vill dock lyfta dess komplexa innebörd genom att framhäva hur personalen inom en organisation med lättdefinierade arbetsuppgifter kan påverka olika arbetsmoments utfall. Genom den kvalitativa ans

Title: Mobility Management – to reduce car commuting and to increase active commuting in private companies. [translated title] Institution: The Department of Service Management and Service Studies, Lund University, Campus Helsingborg Course: KSKK01 Service Management, Examensarbete för kandidatexamen, VT 2015 Authors: Yijuan Lindskog & Erik Wennberg Supervisors: Torleif Bramryd & Micha

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with ~40–50% of patients diagnosed with non-metastatic disease (stages IA–IIIC). The treatment landscape is evolving rapidly as immunotherapies and targeted therapy are introduced in the non-metastatic setting, creating a need to assess patient outcomes prior to their introduction. This real-world study usin

In past human populations, atherosclerosis has been identified in mummies from different regions of the world, and from a range of chronological periods (for extensive reviews see Chapters 3 and 4). This current study from Sweden aims to contribute to the limited evidence for atherosclerosis associated with human skeletal remains by presenting examples of atherosclerosis in another part of the bod

In this paper, a factor-augmented version of the New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) is assessed using a data set comprised of a large panel of European Union (EU) member countries. The factor-augmentation is natural given that country-level inflation rates are highly co-moving. The presence of unattended common factors is important because it raises the issue of omitted variables bias, as the rea

Föreställ dig att du närmar dig en dörr och den låser upp sig automatiskt utan att någonsin veta exakt vem du är? I examensarbetet har vi utforskat huruvida detta är genomförbart och vilka tekniska finesser möjliggör att en användare kan autentisera sig på ett säkert och integritetsbevarande sätt. I takt med att vår värld blir alltmer digitaliserad ökar även behovet av säkerhetssystem som skyddaThis thesis investigates the application of the Cheon-Kim-Kim-Song (CKKS) scheme in designing a privacy-preserving biometric authentication system in line with ISO 24745:2022 standard. Utilizing the Microsoft SEAL library the thesis integrates state-of-the-art facial recognition models to design client-to-cloud and cloud-to-client authentication systems. The solution is implemented in C++ and is t

Denna uppsats utforskar mjukvaruutvecklares syn på användningen av generativ artificiell intelligens (GenAI) för kodgenerering. Genom en kombination av litteraturgenomgång och kvalitativa intervjuer analyserar författarna fördelar, utmaningar och framtida utsikter för GenAI-verktyg. Resultaten visar att utvecklare ser positivt på teknologins potential att effektivisera arbetsprocesser, men uttryck

This bachelor’s thesis explores assimilation of low-code technologies post-adoption within organisations. Through a qualitative approach involving nine semi-structured interviews, which were analysed thematically and discussed with resource-based theory, two distinct uses of low-code technologies are identified: as a technical facilitator for fast and cost-effective software development, and as a

Bakgrund: På intensivvårdsavdelningen vårdas svårt sjuka patienter och höga krav ställs på personalen som arbetar där. Ett av dessa svåra sjukdomstillstånd är akut respiratorisk svikt. En del i behandlingen kan vara att vårda patienten i bukläge med förhoppning om att optimera ventilationen och syresättningen. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva mortalitet, incidens av intubation och komplikationer vid

A chemiluminescence (CL) assay for retinol-binding protein (RBP) was designed and optimized using a charge coupled device (CCD)-camera based detection system. A sandwich ELISA was designed based on the anti-RBP antibodies immobilized in glass capillaries pre-treated with silica sol. The immobilization was predominantly by physisorption of the protein on the silica surface. The RBP bound to the ant

Continuous agarose beds (monoliths) were prepared by casting agarose emulsions designed to generate superporous agarose. The gel structures obtained were transected by superpores (diameters could be varied in the range 20–200 μm) through which liquids could be pumped. The pore structure and the basic properties of the continuous gel were investigated by microscopy and size exclusion chromatogr

This study examines the impact of the extensive climatic and environmental changes associated with the Early Holocene on the feeding ecology of aurochs, European bison, red deer, and Eurasian elk in southern Scandinavia from radiocarbon dates and analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes. Molecular sex information is utilised in the study of aurochs to understand the underlying reasons behinThis study examines the impact of the extensive climatic and environmental changes associated with the Early Holocene on the feeding ecology of aurochs, European bison, red deer, and Eurasian elk in southern Scandinavia from radiocarbon dates and analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes.

Examensarbetets syfte är att ta reda på hur jag som musiker kan göra klassisk musik i konsertsammanhang mer lättillgänglig för människor med kognitiva funktionsvariationer. Arbetet är viktigt för tyvärr har det bekräftats för mig att människor med kognitiva funktionsvariationer inte alltid accepteras som publik i en konsertsal då andra kan uppfatta dem som störande. Jag har genomfört struktureradeThe aim of this thesis is to find out how I as a musician can make classical music in concert contexts more accessible for people with cognitive disabilities. The work is important because unfortunately, it has been confirmed to me that people with mental disabilities are not always accepted as audience in a concert hall as others can perceive them as disturbing. I have conducted structured, indiv

Wildfires in wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas present significant threats, especially to populations unprepared for emergency situations. Effective emergency strategies must consider human behaviour, and decision-making processes. Tourists, often unfamiliar with wildfire risks, face unique challenges in evacuation, requiring tailored strategies. Cross-border regions with diverse cultures and l

The key to understanding any social phenomenon is to follow how actors tread the social landscape and describe how they form groups, fuse meanings, and create associations with different frames. In this paper, I employ Bruno Latour’s reconceptualization of assemblage to trace how NGOs and other actors create assemblages by fusing or defusing dog-eating with discourses on dirt, epidemic, and human

The success of mRNA vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the pandemic highlighted the potential of the technology and opened the door for applications beyond vaccines. However, the low degree of immune response observed in some individuals necessitates continued improvement in the technology. One promising approach is to target the vaccine delivery to specific cells involved in the immune

Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer and is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Although there have been significant advances in early screening and diagnostic strategies, the global incidence and mortality of breast cancer are expected to continue to increase. While there are many risk factors involved in the onset of the disease, family history is considered

A workshop and gallery space that hosts artists and local in co-creative processes.

Problemområde: Vi lever idag i ett samhälle där vi knappast kan undvika digitala verktyg. Vi kommunicerar, får information och utför olika ärenden i den digitala sfären. Ny teknologi har skapat andra typer av behov hos oss och vi har ett mycket effektivare och bekvämare liv tack vare digitala verktyg. Forskningen om e-government visar många av dess positiva sidor, exempelvis ökad effektivitet och
