Kan patientdata användas för att prediktera förestående behov av sjukhusvård hos njursjuka patienter? En stor hälsofara bland världens befolkning är kronisk njursjukdom, som både kostar pengar och orsakar lidande. Predikterande system kan användas för att hitta de patienter som har en hög risk att bli inlagda på sjukhus.End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a chronic kidney disease which results in lifelong care and regular dialysis treatments. It is both an expensive and extensive diagnosis that causes a lot of suffering for the patients.

Begreppet Anthropocene har börjat användas för att betona att förhållandena på jorden styrs av mänsklig aktivitet och inte av naturliga processer, som under holocen. Antropocen är dock ännu inte helt definierat, varken tidsmässigt eller stratigrafiskt. Syftet med den här studien är därför att definiera vad som kännetecknar antropocen, utreda de stratigrafiska markörer som definierar dess början ocThe term Anthropocene has begun to be used to emphasize that conditions on Earth are governed by human activity and not by natural processes, as in the Holocene. However, the Anthropocene is not yet fully defined, neither temporally nor stratigraphically. The purpose of this study is therefore to define what characterizes the Anthropocene, investigate stratigraphic markers that define its beginnin

Human rights are the basis by which the dignity of the human being is guaranteed. This is especially important in the relationship between persons and governments, who on the one hand have great power in form of legislation over these persons, but on the other hand must ensure the protection of human rights. A problem may arise when these two opposing forces of the State collide,1 as the individua

Under 1990-talet infördes digitala journalsystem i Sverige. Det var ett nytt steg inom vården då man ville gå från pappersjournaler till digitaliserade journaler. Syftet med att digitalisera journalsystemet i Sverige var för att underlätta vården. Det har dock uppkommit problem med digitalisering, till exempel gällande kommunikationen med andra system. Detta lägger en grund till vår undersökning s

In this paper, I explore the construction and articulation of heterosexual masculinity through male masturbatory aids, and how these aids manipulate and interact with heterosexual desires, pleasures and intimacies. The first chapter of this paper is given over to historically contextualising attitudes and perceptions of male masturbation and entwining this with a history of masculinity. What follo

In the 19th century, gold diggers emigrated from Europe to North America with the hopes of a brighter future.

Historiskt har AI haft flera genombrott för att sedan stanna upp i utvecklingen. Den stora skillna

The railway makes an extensive barrier in the landscape. To lower the impact of this barrier, and to allow people to easily pass it, level crossings are implemented. A level crossing is an intersection in the same plane between railway and road. Here traffic of all sorts meet with railway vehicles, which is why level crossings are one of the most distinct points of conflict in the entire railway s
