Connected Health for Patients Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed diseases among men, both in Sweden and the US. It is a consuming disease that tears on both the patient and his relatives. The different stages of disease are many, as are the different treatment options and drugs. New diagnostic techniques are constantly being developed and more imaging methods become available. As new digital techniques evolv

Staycation möter demografi - En kvantitativ studie om staycation och hur det kan fungera som ett uttryck av kulturellt kapital

Syfte: ​Tidigare forskning har påvisat att att den fysiska distansen mellan hemmet och semestern måste minskas. Staycation föreslås därför vara ett mer hållbart sätt att semestra på då det syftar till att semestra i närheten av sitt hem istället för långväga resor. Däremot har fenomenet staycation fått olika innebörder på internet och i det fåtal forskningsstudier som finns. Trots att staycation ä

What’s the problem with Women not Working? A Critical Analysis of the Skill India Development Mission & Explanations on Female Labor Force Participation

This study analyses the Skill India Development Missions ways to increase female labor force participation and economic development. Previous research finds that the low rates of women working in India, in times of rising economic growth and education, are driven by supply, demand, or data related factors. This study contrasts the explanations by adopting a ‘what’s the problem represented to be’ a

(Un)making Strangers? Exploring integration discourse in local projects

This thesis uses a phenomenological approach to explore attitudes and meanings of integration work made by local project workers and volunteers. Relating to previous literature which critiques ‘integration’ as a highly problematic concept, as well as drawing on insights from social theory and the concept of imagined communities, the study contributes to shed light on citizens’ making of an integra

Planning Processes in Speaking, Texting, and Writing – The effect of reader’s and listener’s temporal and spatial presence on planning in language production

This thesis investigates planning processes in language production, more specifically in texting as compared to speaking and writing, through pauses analyses (Goldman Eisler, 1969; Matsuhashi, 1981). Texting is used to examine the role of the spatial and temporal presence of a listener/reader in language production. Texting offers an interesting context in this respect since it has spatial absence

“Everything is difficult in a place where everything is foreign” - A study of female immigrants’ experiences of living in Denmark and suffering domestic violence

This thesis is a case study exploring the experiences of female immigrants living in Denmark and of suffering gender-based domestic violence. Through a phenomenological analysis, the thesis investigates the stories told by female immigrants in interviews collected specifically for this thesis as well as for the podcast project Merantis. By investigating female immigrants’ experiences of suffering

Reglering av solcellers omriktare

Det blir allt vanligare med solceller hos konsumenter uppkopplade till lågspänningsnätet och stora mängder solel leder till överspänningar i elnätet. Denna överspänning är en av faktorerna som begränsar mängden solel i ett nät/område, och måste därför kunna regleras. Av flera olika metoder så hanterar detta arbete en undersökning av scenariot med spänningsreglering via reaktiv effekt, främst med PSolar cells are becoming increasingly common in the low voltage grid. Large amounts of solar power can lead to overvoltages in the electricity grid. This overvoltage is one of the factors that limit the amount of solar in a network/area. In order to allow an increasing amount of solar power, the voltage must be regulated. This work examines a scenario with voltage control by reactive power and act

The Moral of the Story: Growing up in A Gossip’s Story, Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre and Little Women

In nineteenth-century literature, the heroine is often a young woman growing up and learning about the restrictions of gender and society. If she learns from the mistakes she is inevitably going to make, she may be rewarded … with a suitor? How does this correlate, who are the heroines and who are the suitors? This essay aims to answer these questions, along with evaluating parents in literature a

Detecting Offside Position using 3D Reconstruction

With the increased number of technical innovations in soccer and the progress in the field of AI, this thesis investigates the possibilities to detect if a player is in offside position using deep learning and video recordings from soccer games. A method to create a 3D reconstruction of the players in the scene is proposed and evaluated. The arguments for using a 3D reconstruction is that it intro

Inducing plasmacytoid dendritic like-cells with cell reprogramming

Inducing plasmacytoid dendritic-like cells with cell reprogramming Dendritic cells (DCs) are a type of immune cell with the ability to take up self and foreign molecules, process them and present a small part of them to T cells, another immune cell that can generate specific immune responses. DCs are subdivided in conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). cDCs a
