Bakgrund: Troligtvis är det för tidigt födda barnet den mest sårbara patienten i vårt sjukvårdssystem och Sverige har idag bland den högsta överlevnaden bland extremt för tidigt födda barn i världen. För att främja ett patient- och familjecentrerat förhållningssätt inom neonatalvården arbetar flera neonatalvårdsavdelningar utifrån det utvecklingsstödjande omvårdnadsprogrammet - The Newborn Individ
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om företagsförvärv gjorda av svenska börsnoterade företag är värdeförstörande. Målet är att jämföra den allmänna uppfattning om att 60-80% av förvärven är värdeförstörande med hur det ser ut på den svenska marknaden. Studien har en deduktiv ansats. Vidare med hjälp av multipel linjär regression har studiens data tolkats och sedan jämförts med tidigare studi
Lactobacillus reuteri is a probiotic bacterium which when consumed or administered in certain recommended dosages can provide a number of health benefits to the consumer. To have an effect on the consumer, these bacteria must survive until they reach the gut. Process conditions during production of the cells determine their ability to adapt to subsequent environmental shifts during storage and adm
Baobab fruit pulp (Adansonia digitata) is a nutrient rich fruit, native to Africa. The physicochemical property of baobab pulp was studied in order use baobab emulsions to formulate prototype for functional food beverage. The physicochemical properties that were studied by dispersing baobab pulp by two methods - by dispersing the whole fruit with water and by dispersing the baobab powder with wate
Bakgrund: Det är fortfarande oklart vilka faktorer som gör distanskontroller vid diabetes typ 2 till en framgångsrik metod samt vad som krävs för att upprätthålla motivationen i egenvården. Syfte: Att beskriva diabetes typ 2 patienters erfarenheter av distanskontroller som ett stöd i egenvården. Metod: Icke systematisk litteraturstudie där sökning utförts i tre olika databaser. Resultat: Åtta vete
This Bachelors thesis in Sociology is the result of a 10 weeks Minor Field Study (MFS) in Brazil, financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, SIDA carried out March-May 2011. The thesis is a qualitative case study of two non-governmental cultural organisations working with social extended school projects in Salvador, Bahia. The overarching purpose of this study and the th
Surrogacy is a much-discussed issue in Spain since in 2017 the political party Ciudadanos proposed in parliament a law to legalize altruistic surrogacy. Since then, the main political parties have constructed a discourse on surrogacy, positioning themselves in favor of or against its legalization. Meanwhile, civil society has also mobilized and associations fighting for or against the legalization
In the Machine Learning field, more and more of the data collection is commercialised, even with monetary rewards to people and organisations for providing input data for models. Even if data collection is not associated with direct costs for the researcher, there are many cases where there are indirect, or circumstancial, costs associated with it. An established concept in game theory is "S
Alkanes offer great and barely utilised potential for usage as raw materials in large-scale chemical processes. Their lack of reactivity, however, warrants methods of manipulating and transforming them in an efficient and mild way, which can potentially be realised by employing homogeneous catalysis using pincer complexes. A reliable procedure for the synthesis and diastereomer-separation of 2-met
Considering the increasing dropout rate of doctoral studies, this study gives a deeper understanding of the factors related to doctoral students’ work engagement and motivation. The aim of this study is to predict work engagement for doctoral students through internal aspects; autonomous motivation and general self-efficacy. The effect of general self-efficacy on the relationship between autonomou
Control theory plays a big part in the development of more efficient and environ- mental friendly combustion engines. But the process of designing good controllers can be very time consuming and complex. One way to reduce the time spent on design and testing of a controller is to use simulations to get fast feedback of the controllers performance. Therefore, in this thesis it is investigated if a
Adaptation of modern Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and multispectral sensor technology in agriculture can enhance the capacity to accurately monitor crops. But these technologies come with its own set of challenges. The major challenge is the understanding of radiometric distortions, which is particularly important while comparing data over different lighting conditions. The study developed and as
Studiens syfte var att undersöka en eventuell diskrepans i självskattningar rörande personlighet och beteende och social önskvärdhets förklaring på diskrepansens förekomst. Tidigare forskning på ämnet tenderar att fokusera på kamratskattningar för att sedan jämföra dessa med individens egen skattning för således komma till en konklusion om individens faktiska personlighet. I vår studie valde vi atThe purpose of this thesis was to examine the possible discrepancy in self-reported personality and behaviour along with exploring which factors might affect the occurrence of the discrepancy. Previous research on the matter tends to focus on peer reports of the individual which is then compared with the individual’s own report in order to reach a conclusion about what personality traits the indiv
Bakgrund: Dyspné är ett symtom hos lungcancerpatienter och att uppleva dyspné är mycket påfrestande, oavsett intensitet. Det ingår i sjuksköterskans profession att i samråd med patienten identifiera individuell hälsa och ge patienten förutsättningar för att kunna uppnå hälsa på bästa sätt. Trots att medicinering förbättrats de senaste åren ses ingen förbättring patienters symtombörda vid dyspné. S
This study identifies the frames used in the representation of refugees by three major Spanish newspapers: ABC, El País and El Mundo. Using directed content analysis guided by predefined frames and summative content analysis, frames are ranked according to their presence in newspaper articles. After categorization, the frames are analyzed, and their usage compared and contrasted across all three n
The work as a social worker comes with a great responsibility when it comes to making decisions that may impact people's lives. The social worker has the opportunity to make a professional decision by using the information that has been provided from the clients. However, the social worker does not have the ability to make any decision based on their own preferences. They have the freedom of a
The social media platform Instagram has become an official communication medium for the construction of corporate identity. This study explores how corporate identity is constructed on Oalty’s Instagram site using visual social semiotic analysis. More specifically, the aim of this study is to explore the visual and verbal approach used to construct corporate identity on Instagram from a small-medi
Studien syftar till att undersöka hur de olika trafikslagen prioriteras i gatuutrymmet i form av en kritisk granskning av Spårvägsprojektet i Lund. Arbetet ämnar utreda bland annat utrymmesbehovet för motorfordon, cyklister och fotgängare. Vidare undersöks disponeringen av gatuutrymmet för de olika trafikslagen i spårvägsprojektet i Lund och om det är i linje med kommunens uttalade mål och strategThe thesis aims to investigate the space requirements for motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. Furthermore, it examines how the street space has been used for the various types of traffic in the tramway project in Lund and whether it is according to the municipality's stated goals and strategies. The study also investigates whether the final result corresponds to the initial plan of the p
In the 1970s linguists started studying genderlects, the linguistic differences related to gender and its power dimensions. Studies conducted by Scandinavian researchers have shown that boys and men speak more and are more dominant in public spaces such as the classroom and political debates (Einarsson & Hultman 1984, Gomard & Krogstad 2001). One of the most prominent researchers in the fi
