Kroniska hjärtsviktspatienters egenvård och reglering av diuretika dosering – Koncept och arkitektur av ett beslutsstödsystem Hjärtsviktspatienter har behov av nya lösningar för att underlätta deras egenvård och att bibehålla sin hälsa. I arbetet har därmed ett beslutsstöd utvecklats för att stödja patienten att bedöma sitt tillstånd och reglera ett av sina läkemedel. Brödtexten Hjärtsvikt är eFluid overload is the build up of excessive fluid in the body and is a common condition amongst chronic heart failure patients. Fluid overload is treated with diuretics but the level of excessive fluid can vary. To match the fluctuations a flexible diuretics regime may be prescribed where patients are instructed to temporarily increase the dosage upon onset or worsening of fluid overload. In this

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

Denna uppsats handlar om den politiska idén och ambitionen om att få den svenska landsbygden att leva och växa, genom att hjälpa mindre företag där att utvecklas. Den politiska retoriken om svensk landsbygd, har under lång tid handlat om att få avfolkningen att avstanna och vända. Ändå upplever de svenska landsbygdskommunerna fortfarande avfolkning eller mycket låg tillväxt. Genom kulturanalys av In this thesis I am approaching the idea and political ambition of making the Swedish rural areas come alive. By having the public sector aid small businesses to start up, develop and grow, the idea is to create attraction to rural places. The political rhetorics about Swedish rurality is, and has been for a long time, that the rural needs to be repopulated; and initiatives are taken on a politica

I dagsläget finns det otroliga mängder data som ackumuleras bland företag och i organisationer. Denna datan kan användas för att förstå och förbättra produkter, tjänster och processer och i slutändan bidra till att förbättra samhället. En del av denna data innehåller dock personlig information som kan användas för att identifiera en person, vilket kan vara problematiskt ur ett etiskt perspektiv omCollecting 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

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.

Varannan tugga i Sverige är importerad från alla världens hörn och det enda vi är helt självförsörjande på är spannmål, socker och morötter. I en krissituation där vi inte längre har tillgång till importerade livsmedel kanske vi får leva på enbart morotskaka om vi inte ökar vår livsmedelsproduktion. Klimatförändringen kommer att påverka hela världen och ändra förutsättningar som vi idag mer eller Only 50 percent of Swedish food supply comes from domestic production, which creates a high dependency on an international trade to import foods. This leads to a high vulnerability within the food system. In order to secure food supply in times of crisis Sweden must increase its food production. According to climate research, future climate will be characterized by a higher rate of extreme weather
