SCAPIS is a national project in Sweden and stands for Swedish CardioPulmonary bioImage Study. The objective of SCAPIS is to find biomarkers in order to improve the risk prediction and lower the death rate of Cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is a big health problem and is one of the main causes of death in many industrial countries. It is usually related to atherosclerosis, which is plaque buildup

Antibiotika är en av de viktigaste upptäckterna under 1900-talet. Med antibiotika blev det möjligt att bekämpa och förhindra bakteriella infektioner. Ett växande och svårlöst problem är antibiotikaresistans. Detta projekt syftar till att hitta alternativ till klassisk antibiotika. Vi har arbetat med sialinsyra, en kolhydrat som återfinns på cellytan. De flesta bakterier tillverkar inte själva siaThe development and the use of anibiotics since the second half of XX century really affected the approach on treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. Despite a lot of resources and energies has been invested on the research, antibiotics resistance is a growing phenomenon in the last years. Today this problem has become a real public health priority worldwide, not only for the important cl

In the automotive sector purchasing plays a key role in strategic management, as most companies are pressured by constant innovation and cost pressure. Hence, most companies focus on lean management and outsource many of their business activities to stay competitive. The supplier selection is crucial to be able to efficiently and effectively carry out business operations. Therefore, in order to es

Ett hatbrott är något utöver andra brottsliga gärningar. Hatbrott bygger på sociala kategoriseringar i negativ bemärkelse, där gärningspersonens upp-fattning om rättsskyddsubjektet som normbrytande leder till ett brottsligt angrepp. Sociala kategoriseringar speglar bakomliggande samhällsstrukturer, och gärningen drabbar indirekt hela den grupp som individen anses tillhöra. Den här uppsatsen syftarHate crimes are predicated on different motives than ‘other’ criminal offenses. Hate crimes are based on social categories in a negative sense, where the offense is committed due to the perpetrator’s prejudice or bias against a group of people. This type of prejudice reflects underlying social structures. This thesis aims primarily to investigate and review hate crime as a legal construction in a

This master thesis presents a suggested Renovation Passport for two typical 1960s single-family houses. Following the recently approved Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU 2024/1275A), all member states are to implement voluntary Renovation Passports by 2026, which will aid in reaching the 2050 goal of a decarbonized building stock. The aim of Renovation Passports is to provide long-ter

In this thesis, the tilt locking scheme is applied to create an error signal that monitors length changes in a fibre-based microcavity. To find a robust and precise locking technique is an essential step towards quantum operations on single rare-earth ions doped in microcrystals. Quantum computing and information is a frontier of modern physics. Many scholars believe that Quantum technology will

Syfte: Studien undersöker om det på ett reliabelt sätt går att använda en modifierad version av Pati-ent Attachment to Therapist Rating Scale (PAT-RS) för att skatta anknytningsmönster från patient till terapeut utifrån inspelade psykoterapisessioner från fjärde sessionen under en korttidsterapi. Metod: Två oberoende observatörer har skattat anknytningsmönster från patient till terapeut utifrån 30Objective: This thesis investigates if it is possible to use a modified version of Patient Attachment to Therapist Rating Scale (PAT-RS) estimating attachment style between patient and therapist dur- ing an early stage of short term psychotherapy in a reliable way using recorded psychotherapy ses- sions. Method: Recorded material from 30 psychotherapy sessions have been separately estimated by two

Storskaliga våldsamheter mot medlemmar av folkgruppen Rohingya i Myanmar har sedan augusti 2017 lett till över 10 000 människors död och tvingat nära en miljon människor att fly till grannlandet Bangladesh. Som respons på händelserna inledde Gambia i november 2019 förfaranden i Internationella domstolen (ICJ) mot Myanmar och några dagar senare auktoriserades Internationella brottmålsdomstolens (ICAtrocities against members of the Rohingya group in Myanmar have since August 2017 resulted in over 10 000 deaths and close to one million people being forced to flee into neighbouring Bangladesh. In response to these events, The Gambia instituted proceedings against Myanmar before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in November 2019. A few days later, the Prosecutor of the International Crim

Det har länge funnits en faderskapspresumtion för gifta par som innebär att ett barn som föds inom ett äktenskap automatiskt anses vara avlat av mannen i äktenskapet. Är, vid ett barns födelse, föräldrarna inte gifta måste en faderskapsutredning genomföras och en fader fastställas. Barn som fötts utanför ett äktenskap har historiskt sett inte haft samma rättigheter som barn som fötts inom ett äkThere has been a presumption of paternity for a long time, which means that, when a child is born within the marriage, the husband will automatically be regarded as the father. In case the couple is not legally married at the time of the birth, the social service is obliged to investigate and determine who is the father of the child. Children who were born outside of the marriage have historical

The purpose of this thesis is to identify barriers to innovation faced by firms delivering healthcare services and to analyse their effects on healthcare service firms' innovation process. This thesis therefore aims to close a gap in literature. Insights gained can help policy-makers understand how their actions impede innovation in the healthcare industry and how they can remove or reduce spe

Title: Access to cultural education in a multi-ethnical context. The right to dance and play an instrument, to paint and work with film is taken for granted by many children in Malmoe today. The agenda explicitely phrases the intent of the publicly financed schools of art for children to reflect the multi-ethnic demographics of the city. Public community music schools of today, incorporate classe

Since 1999, the World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) encourage developing countries to prepare the so called poverty reduction strategies (PRSs), which are national integrated strategies formulated through a participatory process coordinated with donors. This research has aimed to contribute to the development of effective PRS, especially the Sustainable Development and Povert

When researched and discussed as a legal notion, sovereignty is difficult to define&semic as a strict definition will in all probability be built on subjective state values, and will also change due to adoption or denunciation of treaties, and changes in the overall international political climate. Therefore, as an effect, scholars have declared sovereignty as dead and, thus, of no value to th

Miljöpåverkan är ett ständigt återkommande ämne i samhällsdebatten. Många företag strävar efter att minimera sin miljöpåverkan, vilket kan ske genom att återanvända material i stället för att producera nya. I fallet med betongproduktion finns det flera sätt att göra den bättre för miljön. Till exempel kan rivningstegel användas som alternativ till den traditionella ballasten, som ett sätt att minsEnvironmental impact is a recurring topic in the social debate. Many companies strive to minimize their environmental impact, which can be done by reusing materials instead of producing new ones. In the case of concrete production, there are several ways to make it better for the environment. For example, brick waste can be used as an alternative to the traditional stone aggregate as a way to redu
