Background and Objectives: Navigation systems are designed to enhance surgical precision, improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of implant misplacement. In this study, we have evaluated a novel orthopedic surgical platform that utilizes CT imaging with AI-based algorithms to automate several critical aspects of total hip arthroplasty. It contains three modules-preoperative planning, nav
Background: Over the past decades, evidence supporting the antidepressant efficacy of the dopamine agonist pramipexole as an augmentation strategy in mood disorders has accumulated. While dopaminergic treatments have been associated with behavioural adverse effects, the relationship between pramipexole treatment and incident substance use disorder in psychiatric populations remains poorly understoBackground: Over the past decades, evidence supporting the antidepressant efficacy of the dopamine agonist pramipexole as an augmentation strategy in mood disorders has accumulated.

The inappropriate parking of free-floating shared bikes is a critical issue that needs to be addressed to realize the potential environmental, socioeconomic, and health benefits of this emerging green mode of transport. To address this challenge, this paper developes a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) based Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework for geo-fence planning of dockless bi
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing global disorder associated with several complications that include micro- and macrovascular disturbances. Conditions affecting the foot make up one of the major complications of the disease. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate how developed the diabetic foot care is in Sweden, with the ultimate goal being to identify areas needing improvement.This
Bakgrund: Barn i livets slutskede och deras familjer har olika och individuella behov. Vid vård av barn i livets slutskede är det därför viktigt med personcentrerad vård. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenhet av att vårda barn i livets slutskede. Metod: En icke-systematisk litteraturstudie genomfördes där åtta kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar sammanställdes genom
This thesis analyzes the responsibility and accountability of the Russian Federation for torture and ill-treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war during the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The purpose is to explain the legal protection of POWs under international law, and examine whether these protections are actually meaningful in practice when serious violations continue during an ongo
The International Olympic Committee has taken a range of measures to improve the safeguarding of Olympic values and the role of sport in society. This included several human rights commitments, one of which was to include a human rights clause in the Olympic Host Contract which governs the organisation of the Olympic Games. Because of the negative impact the Olympic Games have had on human rights
This thesis examines the legal and ethical challenges posed by emerging neurotechnologies and the growing debate surrounding neurorights. It analyses whether existing human rights frameworks are capable of protecting individuals against the risks associated with technologies that can access, influence, or alter neural activity, or whether entirely new rights are required. Through a doctrinal and c
The triple planetary crisis calls for urgent changes in the way environmental protection, climate regulation and ecosystem conservation are approached. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities, as it can pro-vide solutions that are more accurate, efficient and rapid than some traditional methods. AI systems have already made significant progress in the environ-mental
Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka looksmaxxing och hur det presenteras på sociala medieplattformen TikTok. Studien avser att analysera hur looksmaxxing presenteras som självförbättring och maskulinitet. Det empiriska materialet har hämtats från ett nytt TikTok-konto från utforska-sidan genom att söka efter “looksmaxxing”. Därifrån har de åtta inläggen som presenterades hämtats. För a
This study examines the representation of Palestinian women in Western media human rights and humanitarian discourse during the war on Gaza by analysing articles from The Guardian and reports from Human Rights Watch The study focuses on how Palestinian women are framed and placed within specific representations through their bodies, their portrayal as victims or their basic human needs. The study
Bonded joints is one of the most common connecting methods between components made from Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers, CFRP parts and especially in aviation applications. However, the strength of such bonds is largely affected by the surface preparation, where sanding being the most established but also a very time-consuming option. This thesis investigates the effect that surface preparation h
Detta examensarbete har genomförts i samarbete med Sigma Industry Power & Energy och handlar om maskinsäkerhet samt effektivisering av en industriell presenningstvätt. Syftet med arbetet var att ta fram en grund till ett förbättringspaket som kan användas som en referens vid framtida uppgraderingar av industrimaskiner. Fokus låg på att förbättra personsäkerhet och driftsäkerhet. Som grund ti
This study explores why gang suspects appear to be making increasingly more use of “no comment” responses during interrogations in Sweden and how it connects to gang subculture. By applying subcultural and interactionist theories as well as previous literature regarding interrogations and gang subculture, this study seeks to contribute with a subcultural understanding of gang suspects behaviours d
In previous years, research has explored the creation of interaction rituals in online communities, aiming to expand the implementation of interaction ritual theory to encompass online groups formed online. Drawing upon interaction ritual theory (IR), this thesis aims to explore the creation of interaction rituals within the Swedish discussion forum Flashback, specifically in a thread discussing t
This study explores how probation officers specialized in the treatment of individuals convicted of sexual offences navigate professional challenges and manage occupational stigma within the Swedish prison and probation service. Drawing on qualitative semi- structured interviews, the study examines how probation officers experience, manage and give meaning to work situated within a stigmatized fie
The use of NADH as fuel for industrial enzymatic reactions has gained large interest over the years. However, novel catalytic materials and process are required to produce NADH from NAD+. This thesis investigated the deposition and characterization of catalytic materials on p-type silicon microwire (SiMW) photoelectrodes for the photoelectrochemical reduction of NAD⁺ to enzymatically active NADH.
This thesis examines the strategic use of soft law instruments within the European Union’s policy sphere, focusing on the European Parliament's resolution My Voice, My Choice (2025). In a political and normative multi-level system, where reproductive health falls under national competence, the study explores how EU-institutions and actors navigate the tension between national sovereignty, and
I den här uppsatsen har övergången till militärdiktaturer i Argentina och Ecuador på 60- och 70-talet analyserats utifrån Kalla krigets geopolitiska påverkan samt ekonomiska påverkansfaktorer. Detta sker genom en jämförande fallstudie, där fallen presenteras var för sig för att sedan jämföras med syfte att identifiera likheter och skillnader mellan fallen och avgöra vilka faktorer som spelar in i
