Outcome questionnaires are increasingly being established as a validated mode of acquiring unbiased information on the results after health interventions. Using an assortment of questionnaires, distributed by mail to 27 372 and to a subgroup of 3 600 patients on file in the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty register (SKAR), relevant questionnaires were found to represent a feasable means of acquiring info
Popular Abstract in Swedish Datorgrafik handlar om att övertyga betraktaren. En huvuduppgift är att generera verklighetstrogna bilder utifrån tredimensionella modeller. Med hjälp av datorer simuleras hur dessa modeller interagerar med ljus. Betraktaren skall helst inte reflektera över om bilden han ser är ett fotografi eller en helt och hållet genererad bild. I denna avhandling presenteras algoritModern graphics hardware pipelines create photorealistic images with high geometric complexity in real time. The quality is constantly improving and advanced techniques from feature film visual effects, such as high dynamic range images and support for higher-order surface primitives, have recently been adopted. Visual effect techniques have large computational costs and significant memory bandwid
Video-on-Demand (VoD) and video sharing services account for a large percentage of the total downstream Internet traffic. In order to provide a better understanding of the load on these services, we analyze and model a workload trace from a VoD service provided by a major Swedish TV broadcaster. The trace contains over half a million requests generated by more than 20000 unique users. Among other
The HOO radical is a key intermediate in the atmosphere and is involved in a large number of reactions, including ozone loss cycles in the stratosphere and oxidation processes in the troposphere. This theses is a study of the HOO radical and its interactions with a number of small molecules that are present in the atmosphere. The HOO complexes were formed on the surface of growing argon matrices
Denna studie handlar om den rättsliga prövningen av en europeisk arresteringsorder i Sverige och Irland. En arresteringsorder är ett rättsligt avgörande i syfte att begära överlämnande av en person för lagföring eller verkställighet av ett frihetsberövande straff. Den utfärdas i ett land och ska utan ingående prövning verkställas i ett annat. Samarbetet kring den europeiska arresteringsordern skilThis study is based on the judicial review of a European arrest warrant in Sweden and Ireland. An arrest warrant is a judicial decision to request the surrender of a person for prosecution or enforcement of a custodial sentence. It is issued in one country and shall be executed in another without thorough examination. The European arrest warrant differs from the traditional extradition procedure i
Collecting and storing data is easier and more common than ever before. A lot of this data is personal data, which is problematic to store and use both for ethical reasons and because of legislations. In some scenarios the personal information in the data is not interesting or relevant for the given task but it is still collected and stored as a byproduct of the data collection. In these scenarios
I en allt mer globaliserad värld där den teknologiska utvecklingen fortskrider i högt tempo blir gränsöverskridande forskning och möjligheten till informationssinsamlande över nationsgränser av allt större betydelse. För allmänheten är biobanker ett relativt okänt begrepp och dess syfte likaså. Faktum är att biobanker är en grundläggande förutsättning för att forskning ska kunna bedrivas på ett In an increasingly globalized world where technological development is continuing at a rapid pace, cross-border research and the possibility of gathering information across borders becomes of increasing importance. For the general public, the term biobank and its purpose is relatively unknown. In fact, biobanks are a fundamental prerequisite for research to be successfully conducted. Biobanks are
Elitidrottare utsätts kontinuerligt för fysiologiska och psykologiska krav. En alltför krävande mental och fysisk ansträngning riskerar att öka skaderisken bland unga elitidrottare och kan yttras genom såväl fysiska skador som mentala bekymmer. Syftet med denna kvalitativa ansats var att undersöka för unga handbollsspelares upplevelser av idrottspsykologis träning och i förlängningen huruvida tränElite athletes are constantly exposed to physiological and psychological demands. An excessively demanding mental and physiological effort could increase the risk of injury among young elite athletes and can be manifested through physical injuries as well as mental problems. The purpose of this qualitative approach was to examine young handball players’ experiences of sport psychology training and
Alfa Laval has a wide product range for plate heat exchangers that can be applied in most industries. The constant development of new and old heat exchangers drive the need for new and efficient methods that can reliably be used in the development process. In this thesis, a new turbulence model within a computational fluid dynamics-program has been tested and evaluated for one of Alfa Lavals comme
The European Union (EU) has faced numerous severe crises during the 21st century. Rather than standing united and finding joint solutions, the intergovernmental negotiations have often revolved around furthering member state preferences, and maximising individual outcomes. Surprisingly, when Russia invaded Ukraine, in the spring of 2022, the EU managed to field a relatively successful and united r
In this qualitative study, interpretive research will be conducted in order to examine subjective experiences of Middle Eastern immigrants in Sweden as well as their perception of how six selected policies and programs affect their sense of belonging and identity. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted to obtain data for this study. Specifically, in this study, the following policies and pr
As computer vision becomes widely adopted, more applications demand a large effective field of view, something which is aptly accommodated by fisheye cameras. Autonomous driving vehicles, for example, require a full panorama view of their environment in order to navigate effectively. This requirement could be satisfied with as few as four fisheye cameras, one on each side of the car. However, due
Aortic valvular disease is a severe ailment that causes great suffering and many deaths worldwide. The exponentially increasing prevalence of the disease has accelerated the demand of a new functioning valve prosthesis. A new approach is to decellularize homograft heart valves, which has demonstrated promising results in clinical trials. The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration Lab in Lund has dev
The aim of this study is to investigate the hotel attributes that affect selection by football fans when travelling away from home to participate in a sport event. Attributes that identified in previous researches were segmented into five major sets and the most common and relevant to the purposes of this study were chosen to form the questionnaire. Questionnaires were distributed through online c

A growing world population and rapid urbanization have resulted in larger cities and greater acknowledgement of the importance of sustainability, hence, sustainable cities have started to emerge. In order to cope with all factors affecting sustainability, better mechanisms for decision making in those cities are requested.
