Det är viktigt för blivande läkare att kunna göra korrekta riskbedömningar utifrån patienters testresultat. Tidigare forskning indikerar att den förmågan kan vara bristfällig, men att den går att förbättra genom ett nytt format att presentera statistik på. Det nya formatet kallas naturliga antal och är potentiellt användbart inom undervisning i medicinsk statistik. Den här studien är den första i The ability to draw diagnostic inferences from medical test results is important for future doctors. Earlier research has indicated that this ability may generally be inadequate. However, it can be improved by presenting statistics in a new format, so called natural frequencies, which is adapted to the way the human mind process probabilities. If the effect of this format is robust and generalizab

How are penicillin-binding proteins sorted in cells? A bacterial cell wall can be regarded as a brick building, in which the bricks and the cement hold the building together, provide structure for the building, protect its contents, and allow only certain substances to enter. Many antibiotics target proteins that function in cell wall morphogenesis (the process of building the brick wall in this

Denna uppsats grundar sig på en översättning av en medicinsk, psykiatrisk artikel Ob otnosjenie lichoradotjnych bolneznyj k psichozam ('Om febersjukdomarnas förhållande till psykoser'), författad av läkaren och psykiatern Alexander Samojlovitj Rozenbljum i Odessa och publicerad 1876 i den medicinska tidskriften Trudy vratjej Odesskoj gorodskoj bolnitsy ('Skriftserie utgiven av läkarna

Capitalizing reforms would come to China in 1978, and to the U.S.S.R. in 1985. While the Chinese reforms have been uninterrupted to the modern day, similar reforms in the Soviet Union would lead to its collapse, and to the adoption of capitalism by the Russian Federation. These 'communist' economic reforms were political movements informed by ideology, but China’s more effective reforms re

This study aims to explore how the Swedish Migration Court’s decision is legitimized or delegitimized in discourses in civil society, outside the legislative and judicial power. This is explored with a case study on a judicial decision to expel Sonya, a 90-year-old and sick Ukrainian woman. The material is collected from social media platforms where this case has been discussed. Thus, the results

This study is concerned with the topic of sentence-final intonation in wh-questions, yes/no- questions and declaratives. The aim of the study is to investigate whether native speakers of Swedish can recognize these sentence types in standard Japanese by listening to the intonation alone. In addition, whether exposure to the language affects the ability to distinguish these sentence types is invest

Uppsatsen syftar till att med en bred ansats, innefattandes av juridiska, moraliska och mänskliga rättigheter dilemman förklara inträdet av den brittiska asyllagen under 2000-talet. Under tiden som NATO hade militär aktivitet i Afghanistan (under ledning av International Assistance Security Force), däribland Storbritannien (från 2001 fram till och med 2014) hade dem anställt cirka hundratals afghaThe paper engages a provocative, multi-dimensional legal, moral and human rights issue that strikes at the heart of 21st century UK asylum law. Throughout the NATO Afghanistan military campaigns (headed by the International Security Assistance Force) in which the UK committed combat troops from 2001 to 2014, hundreds of local Afghan nationals were employed by the British Army as interpreters and t

This thesis applies an ethnographic approach to investigate museum visit practices, which shape user experiences in a design museum. Specifically, it explores individual users’ meaning making processes through the embodiment of thoughts and lived experiences. To frame the study, it takes on a phenomenological approach to investigate how the body, self, space, and objects relate with each other in

Människor använder sig av kognitiva förenklingar vid beslutsfattande under osäkerheten. I en riskkontext skulle detta kunna leda till en bristande fördelning av resurser och härigenom en oförmåga att hantera uppkomna händelser. För att kunna handskas med dessa faktorer är det därför viktigt att vetskapen om kognitiva förenklingar tydliggörs och att människor erbjuds olika metoder och strategier föThe aim of this thesis is to detect the influence from biases on capability assessments and methods to prevent them. Evaluation of the influence from biases are based on literature studies and interviews. The result suggests that some of the biases are more likely to occur depending on the context. Three biases occurred most frequently both in the literature studies and during the interviews and t

This study aims to explore the development of a self-motivated (e.g. not policy or regulation initiated) closed-loop, clothing take-back program within a large sized enterprise in the fashion/apparel industry. From the perspective of a single case study – that of the Eileen Fisher Renew program – this thesis aims to explore, outline and describe EF Renew’s business model. The ultimate goal is to d

MER FÖR MINDRE – FRAMTIDENS LÄKEMEDELSFRAMSTÄLLNING KAN SNART VARA HÄR Kemiindustrin har traditionellt varit något av boven i dramat när det kommer till negativ miljöpåverkan. Men nu utvecklas nya resurssnålare framställningsprocesser för läkemedel som kan leda till billigare mediciner, med mindre miljöpåverkan i framtiden. Välden står idag inför stora utmaningar när det kommer till miljön, dels Recent advances in upstream production of biopharmaceuticals have not yet been matched by equivalent advances in the downstream processing. As chromatography is currently the primary downstream processing method in production of biopharmaceuticals new methods for multicolumn processes are being developed. This paper investigates one such method, the three-column periodic counter-current (3C-PCC) p

Det finns åtta dämmen och tre aktiva vattenkraftverk i Kävlingeån, som är ett av Skånes största samt fiskrikaste vattendrag. Då dämmena segmenterar ån skapar detta miljöproblem; organismer förhindras migration för bland annat fortplantning och födosök. Arter såsom öring och den akut hotade ålen lever i Kävlingeån och är beroende av framkomliga vandringsvägar samt lekplatser. Syftet med denna studiKävlinge River is one of the largest, and most heavily fish-populated, watercourses in Scania. Eight dams and three active hydroelectric plants are located here, which cause environmental problems; organisms are prevented migration, reproduction and feeding being the biggest issues. Trout and eel, which depend on river accessibility and spawning areas, inhabits the river. This study aims to create

In this study, vacuum impregnation (VI) was used to investigate the effect of different solutions: sucrose 21 % (w/v), calcium lactate 1 % (w/v), ascorbic acid 0.1 % (w/v), and GABA 0.075 % (w/v) on atmospheric composition, color, and shelf life of packed baby spinach leaves. VI was performed at two different temperatures: 21 C and 7.5 C. The packed, impregnated leaves were stored for 8 days at 21Vegetables and fruits hold a vast amount of air within their structure. Vacuum impregnation is a process used to remove the air from plant tissues and replace it with an external solution. For impregnation, vacuum is applied to the plant tissue helping air to escape through the plant´s pores. Then by restoring the atmospheric pressure, the solution surrounding the plant will penetrate the plant ti

As online shopping continues to increase in popularity, more and more pressure is put on businesses to reevaluate which of their services that can be sold from a web- site. While the telecom market for businesses still only use expert salespersons to describe and put a price on their services, innovative companies such as Telavox are looking into new ways of exposing more of their information onli

Pollination av paranötsträd i ett föränderligt skogslandskap Paranötsträdet (Berthollethia excelsa) växer vilt i stora delar av Amazonas regnskog. Paranötter konsumeras globalt och är en viktig inkomstkälla för många småbrukare i Peru, Bolivia och Brasilien. På grund av dess ekonomiska värde är trädet fridlyst i dessa tre länder. Då skogsavverkning ökar till förmån för bland annat gruvdrift och The Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) produces Brazil nuts, an economically important non-timber forest product. As land-conversion from forest to field increases throughout the Brazil nut tree’s range, many trees end up being the only remaining mature tree in open fields or in secondary forest. The Brazil nut tree is dependent on a variety of large bees for pollination and fruit set. It is t
