Organ shortage has been a large issue all over the world, almost for as long as there have been organ transplants. Other than the straightforward issues like the organs not matching between the donor and the recipient, limited availability of suitable donors, logistic problems involved with the transplantation procedure etc., another large problem is the sociological perspective on organ transplan
In this master thesis the writer has studied museums and their organization under the Covid-19 pandemic breakout of 2020. The 11 museums that been contacted are all located in southern Sweden. They are all varied in ownership, from municipality and state owned to those driven by private organizations. The museums in the study have all struggled with the pandemic. But the degree of financial loss a
Bakgrund: Mer än hälften av alla ingrepp som utförs i Sverige sker som dagkirurgisk vård. Detta är en följd av utvecklingen av nya kirurgiska behandlingsmetoder och av kraven på effektivisering av vården. Den korta vistelsen på sjukhus ställer höga krav på bemötande, information och omhändertagande för att uppnå en säker vård. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa patienternas upplevelser av de
Med sin ökade tillgänglighet på den kommersiella marknaden har eye-tracking blivit ett allmänt tillgängligt system för att analysera ögonrörelser. Detta har öppnat upp för nya möjligheter för utvärdering av usability inom humancomputer interaction, som tidigare har varit dyrt, tidskrävande och ofta utfört baserat på dåligt dokumenterade standarder och mål. Tidigare forskning har visat att eye-tracWith its increased availability on the commercial market, eye-tracking has become a widely accessible system for analysing eye-movements. This has opened up new possibilities in evaluation of usability in human-computer interaction, which has had a history of being expensive, time-consuming and often performed based on poorly documented standards and objectives. Previous research has indicated the
Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to examine how the short-term performance of European acquirers, following M&A announcements, has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, this study also aims to examine how diversifying M&As have been affected, and whether acquirers’ firm value demonstrated a positive relationship with CARs during the pandemic. Methodology: This stu
Hampadryck – ett klimatsmart växtbaserat dryckesalternativ En snabb blick i matvaruaffärerna och de växtbaserade dryckesalternativen står uppradade hylla efter hylla. Den obesvarade frågan ekar, ”vilket alternativ är egentligen bäst ur ett klimatperspektiv?”. En genomförd livscykelanalys för hampadryck visar att hampadryck har lägst klimatpåverkan relativt sex studerade växtbaserade alternativ. Hemp milk has the potential to be a climate-friendly substitute for cow milk. In contrast to other milk substitutes, the climate impact of hemp milk has not yet been studied. This study aims to examine the climate impact and water consumption of hemp milk throughout the whole process from the agricultural stage to the finished product via a life cycle assessment. The results show that the climate
Work related to LGBTQI is in some places an important part of libraries, but is also in some places questioned or not prioritised. Part of libraries work with LGBTQI-questions is having a so called rainbow shelf, with works related to LGBTQI themes, or getting a LGBTQI-certification through the organisation RFSL, which gives information and teaches methods of including LGBTQI matters. The aim of
Displacement – the process when residents are forced away from their living space – is one of the most pressing urban development issues of present times. Gentrification used as an urban policy tool to provide support for urban renewal and to carry out the rehabilitation of cities is the main displacement-inducing mechanism. However, there is an existing intellectual bias, which leads to an inequa
This study investigates the market reactions to firms’ first publication of sustainability reports. The data of listed companies in the Nordic, the United States, and Chinese stock markets are utilized to examine whether the event leads to abnormal returns in the short term and whether the results are identical across regions. The companies are divided into two groups based on their impact on the
The Swedish national library has collected nearly all Swedish printed materials for more than three centuries. Regarding digital material, the digital legal deposit act was enacted about nine years ago. According to the law, a selection of digital publications must be sent to the national library for preservation. The Swedish digital legal deposit act has been heavily criticized, mostly because it
The Schrems II judgement delivered on 16 July of 2020 was the second time that an EU court invalidated an adequacy decision authorizing EU-US data transfer. Doubts gather around the suitability of adequacy decision being an instrument to govern cross-border data transfer. This thesis therefore wishes to explore the deficiencies of such an instrument posed by the current regime as established in th
This thesis is informed by a collection of discussions that highlight participant perspectives on Vancouver’s food justice and food sovereignty movement, mainstream food discourse in the city, and how the state’s institutional role is involved in prospects for the future. Vancouver, Canada constitutes an appropriate case as a dense, urban, and intensely commodified space with conspicuous pockets o
Nuklearmedicin är en inriktning inom radiologi där väldigt små mängder av radioaktiva ämnen används för diagnostik av organfunktioner. Inom diagnostik är förbättring av bildtagningssystem ständigt eftertraktade. Ett sätt att utveckla och förbättra systemen är genom simulering. Med utveckling av artificiell intelligens (AI), har möjligheten för utvärderingar av nuklearmedicinska bilder uppstått medIntroduction: Renography is a standard diagnostic examination that evaluates renal function, renal pelvic dilatation and urinary obstruction. Renography is performed by injecting a radiopharmaceutical (predominately 99mTc-MAG3) and using gamma camera to image the biodistribution in a dynamic sequence. Evaluating renography images encompasses many difficulties regarding background correction for ac
This study examines the association between revenue and user base for companies who operate a platform-mediated business model and benefit from network effects. More specifically, the study incorporates both an exponential and linear function in order to see which one most accurately explains the association. Previous research has theorized the notion of an exponential association between revenue
Syftet med studien var att närma oss hur psykodynamiskt inriktade terapeuter som arbetar med barn med traumatiska erfarenheter, upplever sin kliniska verklighet och att få en inblick i på vilket sätt psykodynamisk barnterapi kan göra skillnad för dessa barn. Studien är uppbyggd på en kvalitativ grund och utgår från tolkande fenomenologisk anlays, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis). DaThe aim of the study was to approach how psychodynamically oriented therapists who work with children with traumatic experiences, experience their clinical reality and to gain an insight into how psychodynamic child therapy can make a difference for these children. The study is based on a qualitative basis and is based on interpretive phenomenological analysis, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenologica
This project has been an exploration into how sustainability is understood and its challenges framed within design. But the reader undertaking the task of going through this document will find more about carrying in urban transportation which has been the area of application. Probing the underlying assumptions upon which our solutions toward a sustainable future rest, the research identifies
Malignt melanom är en aggressiv form av hudcancer. Genmutationer kan påskynda sjukdomsförloppet och spridningen av tumörer, men specialanpassad behandling finns att tillgå. Idag används DNA-analys för att upptäcka genmutationer, vilket är kostsamt och tidskrävande. Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka om djupinlärning (deep learning) kan användas för att hitta genmutationer från vävnadsbMalignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer. Gene mutations can make the disease progress faster, but specialised treatment exists. Today, gene mutations are detected with DNA-analysis which is costly and time-consuming. The aim of our thesis is to investigate whether deep learning can be used to differentiate whole-slide images of tumours with different gene mutations. This was done i
Socialtjänsten är en väsentlig del av det svenska välfärdssystemet som kräver tillit från sina medborgare för att kunna fungera. Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att ta reda på om studenter har hög eller låg tillit till socialtjänsten samt om tilliten påverkas av studentens uppväxtland. Rothsteins teori om socialt kapital användes för att förklara betydelsen av institutionell tillit och för att beThe Swedish Social Services are an essential part of the welfare system which requires trust from its citizens to function. The purpose of this thesis was to find out if students have a high or low trust in Swedish Social Services and if that trust is affected by the country the student grew up in. Rothstein's theory on social capital was used to explain the importance of institutional trust a
