Intraoperativt blodtryck och dess inverkan på risken för postoperativt delirium - En systematisk litteraturstudie

Bakgrund: Postoperativt delirium (POD) är en relativt vanlig komplikation efter genomgången kirurgi och anestesi. Enligt sammanställd forskning drabbas 4 till 53 procent beroende på typ av kirurgi, ålder och tidigare sjukdomar. Det är en komplikation som skapar obehag för patienten, förlängd sjukhusvistelse och även ökad mortalitet. Flertalet faktorer förutom de ovan påverkar risken för att drabba

An Infrared Stellar Thermometer: Exploiting IGRINS Spectra

Genom att analysera stjärnors egenskaper, kan astronomer ta reda på hur både stjärnor och galaxer utvecklas och formas. Det främsta verktyget man använder till detta är så kallade spektra. När vitt ljus, från exempelvis en lampa, färdas genom ett prisma så ser man regnbågens färger på andra sidan prismat. Detta kallas för ett spektrum. När ljus exempelvis färdas genom ett moln, innan det delas uppUsing the infrared (IR) spectral range when measuring stellar spectra is beneficial compared to using the optical range mainly when observing distant stars through the dust dense interstellar regions in the Galactic mid-plane. Methods to determine stellar parameters from IR spectra are, however, not fully developed yet because technological difficulties in creating reliable IR detectors have slowe

The Potential of Diverse Technologies in Growth

A product-variety growth model is presented, featuring regions with diverse basic input prices, intermediate good technologies with randomly distributed usage intensities for those inputs, and technology improvement with usage eventually leading to the spread of these technologies. Exponential long-term growth is derived in the specified model. The probability of new technologies being immediately

“Juste, fasen – jag läste ju socionomprogrammet!“ – En kvalitativ studie om nyexaminerade socionomers professionsidentitet

Swedish social workers are generalists and on the broad field of work are often employed with different titles. The profession of social workers is therefore considerably difficult to define. What does this mean for the social workers’ professional identity at large? The aim of this study was to give account to how newly graduated social workers experience and reason about their professional ident

Toward finding peremptory norms and obligations erga omnes

Jus cogens norms and obligations erga omnes are concepts within international law that are often used to reinforce legal claims. This thesis aims to assess to what extent invoking these concepts, along with their reinforcing capabilities, is justified in specific cases. In order to achieve this, the thesis first gives an overview of the theoretical debate surrounding the concepts of jus cogens no

Restprodukter inom skrotbaserad stålindustri – en fallstudie av Uddeholms AB. Värdeskapande materialströmmar och industriell symbios för ökad samhällsnytta

Hur kan restmaterial från stålindustrin användas för att minska uttaget av naturresurser? Ett vanligt användningsområde av exempelvis stålslagg är som konstruktionsmaterial vid sluttäckning av deponier. Genom att använda slagg för detta ändamål kan mängden deponerat material minska, samtidigt som man kraftigt minskar behovet av vanligt täckmaterial, såsom grus och jord. Stålslagg kan även användasA variety of excess material is produced in the processes used in the scrap-metal based steel industry. The largest stream of material, by volume, is steel slag. Since slag material has very different properties and wide differences in its chemical composition its usage can be found in different sectors. The increased understanding of slag and its properties has made companies less prone to divert

The aim of this study is to examine different subjective income levels perceptions of security in relation to intelligent camera surveillance. The police argue that the intelligent surveillance cameras will increase the experience of feeling secure. Camera surveillance was a controversial practice even before the implementation of AI and its implementation means that "smart" functions ca

Does Sustainability Matter? Analysis of the Impact of Corporate Sustainability on Financial Markets in the Context of Acquisitions

The concept of sustainable investing has gained importance in recent years, considering the growing share of sustainable investments compared to the total volume of global investments. The rise of sustainable investment has not only led to changes on the part of investors, but also to changes of a strategic nature on the part of companies. In this context, Green Mergers and Acquisitions represent

“PS. If I go missing... i have been banned again” - A netnographic study of users’ opposition to algorithmic censorship of the female body on Instagram

As algorithmically-driven content moderation has become a common feature of social media platforms to suppress communications deemed undesirable, scholars have started to examine users’ relations to algorithmic systems and problems of machine bias and governmentality. While most researchers have focused on the negative aspects of censorship, few have explored the possibilities of users to oppose a

Themes of (de)legitimation on the burial of aborted fetuses: the Italian pro-life and pro-choice movements

In Italy, all aborted fetuses are required to be buried. However, when thousands of fetuses graves were found displaying a cross with the name of the person who had aborted, the practice was contested. The aim of this study is to examine the justifications behind the mobilization of the pro-life and pro-choice movements in Italy around the practice of the burial of aborted fetuses. Through the ana

Unsupervised Anomaly Detection for Humidity Sensor Data

Detecting anomalies in loT sensor devices for humidity is crucial for the maintenance and safety of households and buildings. An Auto-Encoder (AE) can detect anomalies in sensor data. However, the reality is that most sensor data is unlabelled, while it is recommended to use labelled data when training the model for anomaly detection with AE. Therefore together with Sensative AB we developed a Lon
