Bakgrund: Biverkningarna av opioider under det perioperativa förloppet är välkända och vanligt förekommande. Som en följd av opioider besväras patienter bland annat av illamående och kräkningar, förstoppning, andningsdepression och i vissa fall opioidinducerad hyperalgesi. Opioidfri anestesi är en möjlighet att undvika opioidernas biverkningar genom att utesluta dem under anestesin. Ur patientens
Kollektivtrafiken spelar en central roll i ett hållbart transportsystem, särskilt när det gäller att uppnå globala hållbarhetsmål och nationella transportpolitiska mål. I täta stadsmiljöer leder begränsat gatutrymme till konkurrens mellan olika transportmedel, såsom mellan cykelbanor, gatuparkering och dedikerad bussinfrastruktur. En viktig faktor som påverkar bussars framkomlighet är körfältsbredPublic transport plays a key role in creating sustainable urban transport systems, particularly in meeting global sustainability targets and national transport policy goals. In dense urban environments limited street space leads to competition between different modes of transport such as between cycle lanes, on-street parking, and dedicated bus infrastructure. One important factor affecting bus ma
Kognitiva bias omfattar flertalet systematiska avvikelser från rationellt tänkande. Anchoring är ett sådant bias där människor tenderar att förlita sig för mycket på en initial siffra eller information i beslutsfattande eller bedömningar. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka ankareffekten i allvarlighetsbedömningar av möjliga hotbilder mot Sveriges totalförsvar. Två hypoteser prövades: (1) AnCognitive biases encompass numerous systematic deviations from rational thinking. Anchoring is one such bias, where individuals tend to rely too heavily on an initial number or information when making decisions or judgements. The purpose of the following study was to examine the anchoring effect in severity assessments of potential threats towards Sweden’s total defence. The experiment tested two
I takt med ett försämrat omvärldsläge där hot, krig och konflikter blivit vanligare, har behovet av en tydlig riskkommunikation blivit allt mer betydelsefull. I samband med detta har svenska myndigheter tagit ett stort ansvar i att förbereda och skydda samhället för risker. Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB) har tagit en central roll i Sveriges riskkommunikation genom sin krisbroschAs global conditions have deteriorated, with threats, wars and conflicts becoming more common, the need for clear risk communication has become increasingly important. In this context, Swedish authorities have taken significant responsibility for preparing and protecting society against risks. The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) has played a central role in Sweden’s risk communication thr
Household expenditure patterns in Ukraine were explored with a focus on clustering techniques to uncover socioeconomic insights and inform policy interventions. Using an officially published Household Income Survey dataset for 2021, the research applies advanced machine learning models, including k-means, DBSCAN, and PCA, to analyze spending habits and identify household profiles with distinct exp
This study aimed to uncover employees’ individual experiences of role transitions within the same organization. We identified the need to enrich existing research on organizational socialization by focusing on internal mobility, which has received less attention compared to external mobility. The following research question was applied: How are employees socialized when moving into new roles withi
I dagens smarta hem är kraven på 'snabbt och smidigt' höga. Det har blivit för omständigt att resa sig från soffan för att släcka i taket, eller att gräva fram bilnyckeln ur fickan. Samtidigt är det viktigare än någonsin att det bara är du som blir igenkänd och kan komma åt dina enheter. Att styra smarta enheter genom en enkel, dubbel eller trippel handklapp hade varit ett snabbt och smidiThis thesis explores the feasibility of using handclaps as a means of biometric identification and control in the context of home appliances. Utilizing the acoustic properties of handclaps, the study proposes a machine learning-based solution capable of identifying the individual performing the handclap as well as distinguishing between single, double, and triple claps. The solution utilizes well
Infertilitet drabbar omkring 10–15 % av alla par i fertil ålder, och assisterad befruktning som IVF och ICSI är vanliga behandlingsalternativ. Graviditetens utfall vid sådan behandling kan påverkas av flera faktorer. D-vitamin spelar en viktig roll i kroppens kalcium- och fosfatreglering, och brist är vanligt i Europa. Tidigare forskning visar motstridiga resultat kring sambandet mellan D-vitaminn
As workplaces become increasingly global and digital, managers in multinational organizations face the challenge of adapting internal communication to both cultural diversity and digital platforms. This study explores how managers of a Swedish multinational company experience and adjust their internal communication when working with multicultural teams across regions. Anchored in the field of stra
As traditional probiotic bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria are sensitive to industrial processes, more robust spore forming bacteria has gained attention to be used as probiotics. The present project involves scaling up the production of Heyndrickxia sp. with the aim to achieve high yield and purity at each stage of the process. At the end, the harvested cells were fre
In recent years, machine learning models have changed the field of video denoising. Most state-of-the-art models utilize multiple frames as input to denoise a single frame, which limits the temporal context window and often requires more computational power. Another, less explored, approach is to use recurrence to gain a hidden memory state in which temporal information can be stored. While the fo
