Bakgrund: Vid demens får personen olika symtom beroende på var skadan i hjärnan sitter, och ett av dessa symtom är svårigheter med kommunikationen. När befolkningen blir äldre kommer demenssjukdomar att öka. Sjuksköterskor behöver verktyg för att veta hur de kan bli bättre på att kommunicera med det ökande antalet personer med demens. Syfte: Att belysa hur sjuksköterskan kan bli bättre på att komm

Uppsatsen berör de tal som Sverigedemokraternas partiledare Jimmie Åkesson framförde under Almedalsveckan år 2014 och 2018. Avsikten med uppsatsen är att studera hur och om Sverigedemokraternas argumentation har förändrats under en mandatperiod, då mycket i samhället har förändrats sedan det senaste valåret, exempelvis flyktingkrisen år 2015. För att besvara uppsatsems frågeställningar som lyder

A common technique within image analysis is image classification which describes the process of reducing the information content of an image into few user-defined classes. With the emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), high spatial resolution (cm-level) images can be collected. This thesis aims at testing different methods for classifying UAV images from an agricultural crop site in the so

Negative environmental impacts generated by new buildings and the built environment needs to be reduced in order to contribute to mitigation of anthropogenic global warming. Sustainable building certifications such as Miljöbyggnad and DGNB was introduced as a measure to transition into more sustainable buildings. The research study explores the environmental impacts of cross-laminated timber and t

Självpresentationer utgör en viktig aspekt utifrån den digitala världens ökade betydelse i de mellanmänskliga interaktionerna. Via postandet av bilder på sociala medier tillåts en framställning av självet för hur vi väljer att presentera oss. Studien syftade till att undersöka hur självpresentationer skiljer sig åt inom olika sociala grupper. En semiotisk bildanalys har därför använts för att leta

About 90% of all startups fail to become successful, and the most significant reason is due to premature scaling. Limited research has priorly been conducted in the borderland between startups and supply chain. Explicitly on how a startup should go about defining its supply chain objective and how to measure its performance. Nevertheless, the high-tech startup industry sees potential in gaining in

An ongoing trend the last couple of years has been the intense reporting of an increased amount of deliberate vehicle fires in Sweden. As the overall assumption in society is that the number of deliberate vehicle fires is steadily increasing, a statistic model trying to investigate this was made. In 1998, the share of deliberate car fires were estimated to 12%, the same number in 2015 was 38%, ind

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are becoming increasingly influential in social, economic and political spheres and have also been recognised for their potential within health promotion, especially when targeting youth and adolescents. Despite the potential of these new technologies, there is a growing understanding of how prevailing inequalities between men and women and socio-c

As an increasing number of species drift onto the IUCN’s list of endangered species, it has become increasingly important to understand the fundamental aspects that are essential in maintaining the fitness of these threatened species. Using tracking data from 75% of a sample of Swiss juvenile Red Kites during their wintering period in Spain, various bioclimatic predictors (BCMPs) were taken into

This essay aims to discuss equality in the film selection screened in Undergraduate Film Studies at Lunds University and Stockholm University. As there is a consensus within canon formation studies that film canons hegemonically premier white men of American and European decent, there was reason to analyze if this could be found within these academic film institutions. The films screened during th

Essential to many films is the conflict between good and evil. This paper presents an overview of the representation of evil in film. The paper’s purpose is to find out how the three principal antagonists in four Robin Hood movies are represented as being evil and how this has changed over time. The study method used is semiotic analysis. The previous research in the field of evil representation i

Vägar slits konstant och kräver konstant förbättringar och ombyggnationer. För att möjliggöra detta krävs personer som befinner sig ute på vägarna. Tekniken har gått framåt inom området trafiksäkerhet men skulle behöva förbättras ytterligare om vägarbetare ska vara säkra på sin arbetsplats. Även trafiken har förändrats över åren. Idag finns fler fordon på vägarna än aldrig förr. Bilarna är säkrareRoads are constantly worn down and demands improvements and reconstructions. To make this possible there has to be road workers on the road. Road safety has been improved along the years but can still be improved more. Today there are more vehicles on the road than ever before. The cars are more safe and therefore is encouraging to higher speeds as they are driven together with all safety features

The size of the pension payments is a result of how well the pension capital has been invested by the life insurance company. The laws for how much of the pension capital the life insurance companies are able to invest, and how much they need to keep as capital requirement, are under investigation. This is regulated by the risk measure value at risk. Finansinspektionen has released a test report,

Denna studie har sin utgångspunkt i artikelserie som påtalade några av de problem som finns inom den svenska välfärden. De problem som identifierades är de yrken som verkar inom den svenskavälfärden har blivit styrda i stor utsträckning vilket har lett flera olika typer av problem. För att råda bot på detta infördes något som kallas för tillitsreformen. Denna reform har till uppgift att hitta nya

Bakgrund: Årligen diagnostiseras över 6900 personer i bröstcancer och utgör den vanligast förekommande dödsorsaken hos kvinnor. Möjligheten att upptäcka sjukdomen i ett tidigt skede har ökat i Sverige då kvinnor i åldrarna 40-74 erbjuds hälsokontroller med mammografiscreening. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av mammografiscreening. Metod: En litteraturstudieIntroduction: Breast cancer is the most common death cause among women, more than 6900 women are diagnosed every year. The opportunity to discover the disease in an early stage has increased due to all women in Sweden are offered health checks with mammography screening. The aim of this study was to examine women's experiences of mammography screening. Method: The study was conducted as a lite

När vi drabbas utav bakteriella infektioner agerar immunförsvaret kvickt för att utrota dessa elakingar som orsakar sjukdomar. De kanske mest kända försvararna är de vita blodkropparna, olika celler som upptäcker och utrotar hot. T-cellen, vars namn kommer från engelskans Thymus (brässen, ett litet organ i bröstkorgen) är delvis ansvariga för upptäckandet av hoten. T-cellen har en receptor kallad T cells play an important role in the immune system where T cell receptors (TCR) identify foreign pathogens bound to major histocompability complex (MHC) molecules on antigen presenting cells (APCs). The detection of an antigen causes the T cell to trigger, which is an activation of the cell that results in a cellular immune response. This triggering process is not fully understood and studying th

Convolutional neural networks have in recent years been successfully employed for various image processing tasks, such as filtering noise. There are however relatively few published attempts for processing video in this way. Image processing methods on single images can be applied frame by frame, but often fail to consider continuity and flow between frames. In this master's thesis we construc

I dagens samhälle har vi ett mer flexibelt arbetsliv än tidigare och människor byter jobb i större utsträckning. Tidigare forskning har visat att en ökad self-efficacy och arbetstillfredsställelse leder till positiva följder för anställda. Dessutom har tidigare studier visat på en korrelation mellan self-efficacy och job satisfaction. Det finns dock en begränsad mängd studier om occupational self-In today’s society we have a more flexible work life than before and people change jobs in a greater extent. Previous research has indicated that an increased level of self-efficacy and job satisfaction leads to positive consequenses for the employees. Furthermore, research has proven a correlation between self-efficacy and job satisfaction. However, the amount of research on occupational self-eff
