In the real world, understanding an antenna's radiation pattern is crucial for its proper utilization. Typically, antennas are tested in the far-field region, where the radiation lobes are fully developed and phase errors are less than pi/8. However, due to some drawbacks like an increase in far-field distance for antenna arrays, researchers have shifted towards near-field measurements. These
Nature has a special knack for survival. After millennia of beating the odds against an inhospitable planet, many species have found clever ways to ensure self-preservation on an often inhospitable planet. By refining special skills and working alongside other members of the ecosystem, countless species have found a stable role in the landscape. As humans, we are no different. Developing human soc
Risk Management is a broad domain that has many applications in different industries and organizations. There are many competing guidelines and overarching frameworks that describe workflow and best practice in various subdomains. The objective of this thesis is to explore how machine learning algorithms can be used in general terms of risk management frameworks in support of risk assessment with
The Brazilian state has failed to protect the Amazon rainforest, its biodiversity, and its forest-dependent population. Scientific evidence proves the vital importance of the Amazon biome for life on Earth, as well as its crucial role in maintaining global climate balance. Recently, deforestation rates in Brazil have skyrocketed. A wide range of civil society and official reports show that defores
Bakgrund: Distriktsköterskans ledarskapsroll inom kommunal hemsjukvård är omfattande och genomsyrar en stor del av det dagliga arbetet. Trots detta finns olika uppfattningar om hur ledarskapet ska praktiseras rent konkret i en verksamhet präglad av utmanande organisatoriska förutsättningar. Det finns ett behov av att tydliggöra distriktssköterskans ledarskapsroll för att främja samverkan och vårdk
Bakgrund: Förmaksflimmer (FF) är idag den vanligast förekommande arytmin och förknippas med förhöjd morbiditet och mortalitet. Det finns idag effektiv medicinsk behandling, men även livsstilsfaktorer, psykosocialt omhändertagande samt patientens följsamhet till behandlingen har stor betydelse för sjukdomsutvecklingen. Sjuksköterskeledd mottagning bidrar till en helhetssyn och en mer personcentrera
Bakgrund: Venösa bensår är en stor del av distriktssköterskans arbete och tar ofta mycket tid. Att få ett bensår kan skapa mycket lidande för patienten och vara livsomvälvande. För att förbättra förutsättningarna för patienterna bör en behandlingsplan utformas av det tvärprofessionella teamet där patienten är delaktig. Tidigare studier har visat att distriktssköterskor önskar fortlöpande utbildnin
From the Brexit Referendum in 2016, up until the Brexit transition period in 2020 and onwards, the regions of the United Kingdom underwent several renegotiations within trade agreements associated with the Brexit process and the consequent withdrawal from the European Union. This caused increasing levels of economic policy uncertainty within the United Kingdom, which accordingly acted as a spillov
Currently, medical social workers are required to conduct psychosocial assessments and are expected to understand the nature of the task. Through the assessment, medical social workers were also expected to make appropriate judgments that should have been scientifically grounded in a patient-safe manner and in accordance with the Patient Safety Act (SFS 2010:659). The psychosocial assessment, with
Bakgrund: När Ädelreformen infördes, år 1992, tog kommunerna över ansvaret för hemsjukvård. För att bestämma vårdnivå infördes begreppet "tröskelprincipen", men det saknas tydliga riktlinjer för hur denna ska tillämpas. Det medför att distriktssköterskor brottas med att göra en objektiv bedömning för var vården ska utföras. Syfte: Att undersöka distriktssköterskors erfarenheter av att be
The climate impact of food production plays a big part in the anthropogenic climate impact. Mitigation strategies from this sector are hence of great importance. One area which mainly has been used to calculate climate impact is albedo, the overall reflectance of incoming radiation in all directions. Albedo has been measured for a long time and is vital when calculating the energy balance of an a
This thesis aims to address the challenges of implementing circular economy (CE) practices in emerging/developing economies by harnessing the resources of multinational corporations (MNCs) to improve waste management situations in these areas of the world. A case study is conducted on a Swedish beverage carton producer operating in Thailand to examine the key challenges and strategies employed by
Bakgrund: Övervikt och fetma hos barn är ett växande problem både på global och nationell nivå. Antalet överviktiga barn har tiodubblats de senaste 40 åren samtidigt som det ökar i både låg- och höginkomstländer. Distriktssköterskan ska arbeta hälsofrämjande, informera om goda levnadsvanor, råda, handleda samt ge stöd till familjen. Övervikt och fetma hos barn har blivit ett allt större hälsoprobl
Abstract Background: Disability affects 15% of the world's population, and around 80% of people with disabilities are from low-middle-income countries (LMIC). According to the BangladeshFinal Report on Household Income and Expenditure Survey in 2016, Bangladesh hasapproximately 11.4 million people living with disabilities. Studies showed that physicaldisabilities had been associated with poor
Sju intervjuer genomfördes i syfte att undersöka hur dissociation upplevs bland transpersoner och om, och i så fall hur, dissociation relaterar till könsdysfori. Deltagarna bestod av transpersoner som hade haft minst en tidigare dissociativ upplevelse, vilken de sedan skulle beskriva under intervjun. Materialet analyserades genom realistiskt grundad tematisk analys där likheter som framträdde blanSeven interviews were conducted to explore how dissociation is experienced among transgender people and, if so, how dissociation is related to gender dysphoria. The participants consisted of transgender people who have had at least one dissociative experience, which they would then describe during the interview. The material was analyzed through a realistic thematic analysis, where similarities be
Climate change adaptation is essential to future-proof societies around the world. It is a cross-sectorial undertaking which requires collaboration, structure, long-term planning, and resources. Sweden has placed highly in international indices ranking climate work, yet scholars have recently argued that Sweden’s approach to climate questions, especially adaptation, is fragmented. This thesis furt
