An optical system for digital light processing car headlamps was designed and optimized in this project. The specifications include five lens elements and a field of view of 15 degrees horizontally and 7.5 degrees vertically. The system consists of an illumination module and a projection lens assembly. A high-brightness LED source and a rectangular light integrator ensure uniform illumination on t
This study presents the development and validation of a new, compact architecture for ultrafast videography using the Frequency Recognition Algorithm for Multiple Exposure (FRAME). Traditional FRAME-systems often have high mechanical complexity, long optical path lengths, and are limited to one-dimensional (1D) informational extraction of refractive index gradients when using Schlieren imaging. Th
In the early 20th century, researchers from folklore archives travelled across Sweden to collect stories from rural communities and peasant society, as this culture was widely believed to be disappearing as more people moved to urban areas. These stories became part of collections that are now documented as part of Swedish cultural heritage. In the 1970s, however, these collections were criticised
The purpose of this study was to investigate social workers and school personnel's experience of child participation in CIP meetings, with a particular focus on children with NDD. More specifically, the study aimed to explore how child participation was facilitated within these meetings. The study was based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with four social workers, one teacher, and tw
Detta är en kvalitativ intervjustudie med grund i fenomenologi och queerteori där sex sångpedagoger har intervjuats om deras individuella sångundervisning med transpersoner. Studien undersöker pedagogernas erfarenheter av och kunskaper om att undervisa transpersoner i sång, hur de resonerar kring könsnormer inom sång samt hur de beskriver dialogen med sina elever om röst, sång och identitet. ResulThis is a qualitative interview study based on phenomenology and queer theory where six voice teachers were interviewed about their one-on-one singing lessons with trans individuals. The study researches the teachers’ experience with and knowledge about teaching singing to trans people, how they reflect on gender norms related to singing as well as how they describe the dialogue with their student
During the last 10 years Sweden's municipalities have changed their eldercare organisation. From a traditional organisation with an executive official of aid who even had the staff responsibility in the execution to a separate or specialized organization where the official only have the exercise of public authority. The evaluators of aid (biståndsbedömare) have the title executive officials (b
There are many immigrant women living in Sweden today who come from cultures in Africa where Female Genital Mutilation is tradition. Due to the many complications of this tradition and due to inadequate knowledge of the tradition and management of its complications within the healthcare system, it is one of the biggest health problems of our time. The aim of this study was to gain knowledge and un
Introduction: In Sweden there are approximately 40 000 cases of MI a year. There has been a recent increase of the incidence of MI in women; however the prevalence is still higher in men. Quality of life is affected by physical and psychological factors. There has been little research done on how women experience their quality of life post MI. Objective: The objective of this literature review was
Kanarieöarna, en ögrupp i Atlanten som tillhör Spanien och bildades för cirka 25 miljoner år sedan, har en komplex geologisk historia präglad av intensiv magmatisk aktivitet från en underliggande så kallad hotspot. Under hotspoten har extraordinärt varmt mantelmaterial transporterats upp till basen av litosfären som delvis har smält upp. Teneriffa, en av de mest välkända öarna i ögruppen, formadesThe Canary Islands, an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean belonging to Spain and formed about 25 million years ago, have a complex geological history characterized by intense magmatic activity from an underlying so-called hotspot. Under the hotspot, extraordinarily hot mantle material has been transported up to the base of the lithosphere, which has partially been melted. Tenerife, is one of the be
Shaken baby syndrome has typically been associated with findings of subdural haematoma, retinal haemorrhages and encephalopathy, which are referred to as the triad. During the last decade, however, the certainty with which the triad can indicate that an infant has been violently shaken has been increasingly questioned. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the triad in
When calculating the production costs input data can vary considerably inquality between different cases. When costs pertain from products, which are already in production, complete and reliable data may already be available. For new products, new production systems or new production technology it might be hard to find applicable and reliable data. The cost and performance parameters needed can th
As we become increasingly conscious of the entangled nature of human existence, we need to become more attuned to the needs of other species, and things on this planet we are bound to. This presents us with an opportunity to rethink in whose interest we approach architectural design, and to bring vital voices into the process that have – until now – been unable to make themselves heard. We conduct
BACKGROUND: – The clinical use of risk scores to guide treatment decisions and improve clinical outcomes has rarely been prospectively evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate whether a biomarker-based ABC-AF risk score–guided multidimensional treatment strategy improves long-term outcomes in patients with AF. METHODS: – The multicenter, registry-based, randomized, controlled, open-label study enro
The purpose of this study is to understand if elderly visitors in senior centers around Helsingborg feel some type of loneliness and how senior centers can contribute to the feeling of fellowship with other visitors. The aim was towards their experience where we had seven participants who answered our interview questions, which we later summoned to four who all happened to be of the female gender.

In particular, I explore the following research question – What are the main challenges and possibilities for socio-legal integration of Russian minorities in Estonia? For this purpose, I conducted sev

A designer who engages in social problems is often an outsider, intervening in an environment with existing social structures. How can a designer contribute to finding durable solutions for social problems? What are the responsibilities of a social designer? And what role do power differences play? These questions were explored both theoretically and practically. The first by comparing social desi
This study aims to explore how physicians make sense of and give meaning to their decision-making during obstetric emergencies. Childbirth is considered safe in the wealthiest parts of the world. However, variations in both intervention rates and delivery outcomes have been found between countries and between maternity units of the same country. Interventions can prevent neonatal and maternal morb
How do creative workers work? This book brings together insights from a range of relevant disciplines to help answer this significant research question. Featuring case studies from the European context, contributors tap into the experiences and practices from creative workers, demonstrating their attempts to navigate a changing environment which affects spaces, identities, and professional roles.
