Psykiatriska diagnoser är idag fler än någonsin, berör ett stort antal människor och är genom olika processer i ständig förändring. Syftet med denna studie, som är en diskursanalys, är att undersöka på vilka sätt och inom vilka diskurser psykiatriska diagnoser kan konstrueras. Materialet består av intervjuer med tre grupper; personer som själva har Aspergers syndrom, personer som har barn med AspePsychiatric diagnoses are plentiful in numbers. They affect a large number of people and they are in a constant line of development. The purpose of this discourse analysis is to examine in which ways a psychiatric diagnosis may be constructed according to various discourses. Interviews were held with individuals diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, parents of individuals with Asperger Syndrome and pr

Flowering plants depend on pollinators for reproduction, and this entails selection on plant traits linked to phenology, attractiveness and pollination efficiency. Current environmental changes are however acting upon both parties, which in turn affects the interactions between them. In order to better understand how these changes manifest, this study looked at five plant species in semi-natural g

Sweden has in the past decade embarked on a journey to rebuild the concept of ‘total defence’. The crisis management system led by the Swedish Civil Contingency Agency has become all-the-more involved in the civil defense, with the Swedish Armed Forces responsible for military defense. The present thesis aims to explore the topic of gender and language in Sweden’s total defense discourse to uncove

An LSTM-based deep learning model, as well as a Lasso and linear regression model, were implemented to try and predict citation counts based on the abstracts. In an attempt to try and model the relationship between the citation count and the abstracts, specifically in the field of chemistry. A comparison between the Lasso model and the deep learning model was done, in order to weigh the interpreta

Purpose: The purposes are to evaluate the change in mammographic density within individuals across screening rounds using automatic density software, to evaluate whether a change in breast density is associated with a future breast cancer diagnosis, and to provide insight into breast density evolution. Approach: Mammographic breast density was analyzed in women screened in Malmö, Sweden, between 2

Coffee is epidemiologically linked to health benefits and risks. Coffee is thought to be a diuretic. However, it can still contribute to daily fluid intake. Vasopressin is the most important physiological regulator of body fluid balance and diuresis. This study aimed to map the effects of coffee intake on vasopressin concentration. In the population-based cross-sectional Malmö Offspring Study (n =

Hantering av PAH kontaminerad asfalt har i denna rapport studerats med syftet att utreda moment som berör hanteringen från de tidiga projekteringsfaserna fram till slutlig förvaring, destruktion eller återvinning av den kontaminerade asfalten. I rapporten följs denna tidslinje från litteraturstudien, där läsaren får med sig en allmän och fördjupad kunskap om det berörda ämnet, till konkreta metodeThe managing of PAH contaminated asphalt has been studied in this report with the aim of investigating elements concerning the managing from the early design phases to the final storage, destruction, or recycling of the contaminated asphalt. The report follows this timeline from the literature study, where the reader gets a general and partially in-depth knowledge of the relevant subject, to more

The possibility of being able to examine the inside of the human body is the foundation of today’s medical diagnostics. This can be done through different imaging systems, where ultrasound is one of the most important imaging methods used. Ultrasound does not endanger the patient during examination, unlike other imaging systems that use ionizing radiation or strong magnetic fields. In order to obt

Concerns are growing within the field of development as global democracy rates decline. As a solution to how to rebuild democratic systems is currently unclear, this thesis looks at the case of Colombia and the national protests (colloquially referred to as El Paro) that began in April 2021. The nation, suffering from increasing political polarisation, rising poverty rates and crippling structural

The purpose of this thesis was to introduce new and innovative solutions in the field of weapon packaging. Integration of the concept Insensitive Munitions1 (IM) in the packaging was also a main objective. The method used to achieve this thesis is a merge of the product development methods derived by Ulrich and Eppinger and methods taught in the course Designmetodik IDE062. Designer tools li

There are currently only six countries in Africa that can be considered as free. However, none of them are yet democratically consolidated. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine what issues remains to be dealt with for these countries to become democratically consolidated. The method used is a case study on Namibia that is based on the theory by Linz and Stepan. The findings are that Namib

The aim of the study is to develop a framework for symbolic simplification algorithms in the JModelica.org compiler. It should make the procedure of adding new algorithms to the compiler easier. Instead of the fixed order currently used in the compiler, algorithms will perform their simplifications to the model equations iteratively. This opens up the possibility for more simplifications being mad

In 2013, the EU established a Common European Asylum System in order to harmonize the asylum laws throughout Europe. One of the directives in this common system is a revised version of the Reception Conditions Directive from 2003, establishing rules for housing, clothing and food for the asylum applicants. The directive from 2003 should be in place in all Member States of the EU and on the 21st of

Our interest for this subject was awakened by the complexity with teachers having to report their students for being physically or psychically abused or neglected at home. Our aim in this study has been to discover junior school teachers’ idea on the mandatory reporting law between schools and social services in Sweden. Due to this purpose, interviews have been made with six junior school teachers

In Australia a succession of politicised and well-publicized incidents has highlighted the ‘dilemma’ of refugees and seekers of asylum. A number of desperate human tragedies and very questionable practices and decisions by the Australian government have caused the upset. However, instead of focusing on the humanitarian aspects of the arrival of asylum seekers by boat, their arrival has been framed

I juni förra året föreslog Kommissionen att tillämpningen av Koncentrationsförordningen skulle utvidgas till att omfatta icke-kontrollerande minoritetsförvärv. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att bedöma huruvida den föreslagna reformen är motiverad från ett rättsligt perspektiv. Det finns belägg för att icke-kontrollerande minoritetsförvärv kan ha väsentliga negativa effekter för konkurrensen. SåIn June 2013, the Commission proposed that the scope of merger control in the EU should be extended to include non-controlling minority shareholding acquisitions. The purpose of this thesis is to assess whether the proposed legal reform is motivated from a legal perspective. There is proof that non-controlling minority shareholdings may have significant anti-competitive effects. Indeed, such acqu

Användaridentifiering av Pekskärmsindata med RGB-D-kameror Pekskärmar blir en allt större del av vår tekniska vardag. Idag finns teknik för att göra pekskärmar större, mindre och med nya former jämfört med bara några år sedan. I ett sådant läge blir det naturligt att försöka eliminera alla svagheter hos tekniken. En sådan svaghet hos pekskärmar är att de inte kan skilja på olika simultana användaAn attempt was made to identify the users of a 78" curved touch screen based on images from three cameras placed around it. By assuming the existence of a robust facial detection algorithm, the work is limited to connecting each touch point to the most likely face. The cameras provide both color and depth information, allowing 3D logic to "see" that a touch point is connected to one
