Cerebral Palsy (CP) has an impact on muscles and movement. This happens due to brain damage before the age of two years. Either sometimes before birth, during childbirth or after birth. According to hjarnfonden.se, 200 children are added annually in Sweden with CP. People living with CP have these weaknesses for the rest of their lives. CP is not progressive disorder, that means brain damage can’
Framsteg inom forskningsområden som maskininlärning, signalbehandling och sensorteknik möjliggör automatisk klassificering av sjukdomssymptom. Läkare kan bedöma symptom vid Parkinsons sjukdom genom att granska videomaterial. Kan vi lära datorer att göra samma bedömning endast utifrån data från sensorer? Parkinsons sjukdom, som årligen drabbar ungefär 2000 personer i Sverige, leder till att nervceThe recent progress in wearable sensor technology, signal processing and machine learning enables novel applications in fields such as automatic disease symptom tracking and classification. In this project, data from an ongoing Parkinson’s disease study at the Lund University Hospital is gathered and analyzed, and classification models of varying complexity for symptom severity are evaluated. The
Prior to the accomplishment of this research, the compatibility of the classic e-servicescape conceptual model in the context Taobao and TMall in China were rarely found among existing e-servicescape literatures due to the standardization taken by both online platforms towards the establishment of individual webshops. Meanwhile, the conceptualization of social factors as social dimension of e-serv
I denna uppsats analyseras hur en ”äldrevänlig kommun” skapas i en svensk kontext, med Uppsala kommun som exempel. Begreppet äldrevänlighet har vuxit fram genom WHOs arbete och nätverk Age-friendly cities and communities, som syftar till att bemöta en globalt ökande andel befolkning över 60 år. I detta nätverk är idag sex svenska kommuner medlemmar, bland annat Uppsala, och fler än 750 städer delt
The purpose of this study is to explore the way that aspects of the external shopping environment form consumers’ perception of safety, in order to improve our understanding of how consumers experience safety issues in the high streets. Besides, this thesis aims to understand the role of safety in the consumers’ perception towards the shopping environment of high streets and the importance of safe
This thesis examines the L2 intonation of Swedish learners of Japanese with a focus on pitch accent and prosodic phrasing errors. Previous studies have attempted to predict L2 learners’ difficulties and errors, such as Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis (CAH) by Lado (1957) and Markedness Differential Hypothesis (MDH) by Eckman (1977; 1985). L2 Japanese pronunciation has been analysed at the word or
The autonomous truck is gradually making its way onto our roads, and the elimination of the truck driver implies a substantial social-technical transition for logistics companies. Specifically, transport managers who work closely with the drivers on a daily basis, will potentially see a significant change at work. The implementation of the autonomous trucks in logistical companies could cause fric
Can normal development help us understand tumor initiation? The field of developmental biology studies the complex processes by which organisms grow. Embryology is one of its subfields and investigates how organisms develop from the moment the egg is fertilized to the later embryonic stages. Embryonic development can sometimes be abnormal and lead to cancer formation. In higher animals, followi
Detta examensarbete utfördes på företaget Devex Mekatronik i Lund som under arbetets gång köptes upp av företaget Etteplan. Målet med det här examensarbetet var att vidareutveckla och förbättra ett låssystem till ett medicinskåp med tillhörande databas. Devex Mekatronik hade påbörjat en egen lösning på problemet men ville utveckla ett fullständigt system som fungerade på det sätt de hade tänkt sig
Tack vare dagens extremt känsliga kriminaltekniska DNA-analyser kan det räcka med att en person endast vidrör ett föremål eller en annan person för att göra det möjligt att återfå denna persons DNA från den berörda ytan. DNA från enstaka celler som hittats i ett biologiskt spår på en brottsplats kan räcka för att få fram en DNA-profil som kan användas som mycket stark bevisning och slutligen leda Detectable amounts of DNA may be left behind when an individual touches a surface and research in the forensic science field has shown that some individuals have a higher tendency to transfer their DNA to surfaces than others, a phenomenon known as shedder status. However, there is little evidence to support an unconditional shedder status, and the anatomical origin of deposited DNA and what preci
I denna uppsats har jag intervjuat sex akademiker för att förstå hur akademin kan förstås ur ett dekolonialt perspektiv samt vilka möjligheter det finns för att arbeta dekolonialt inom akademin. Till hjälp har jag tagit teorier om bankundervisning, nollpunktens hybris, avlänkning, epistemisk våld samt dekoloniala pedagogier. Studien visar att akademin setts som en neutral och fristående institutioWithin the framework for this essay I have interviewed six academics to attain the understanding of how academia can be viewed from a decolonial perspective as well as understand what possibilities exist for working de-colonially within academia. To assist I have used theories on banking education, The hubris of the zero point, delinking, epistemic violence and decolonial pedagogies. The study sho
Kiruna, the northernmost city in the sub-arctics of Sweden, is currently witnessing an unprecedented deformation and reformation of the urban form due to the ongoing erosion of the land mass. This has made it necessary to move the city centre around 3 kilometres to the east. Due to the deformation timeline, it has opened up new possibilities of expanding the city further towards the north-east and
Ett nytt alternativ till att behandla Candida I dagens samhälle finns det väldigt få mediciner tillgängliga för att bota svampinfektioner. Av de alternativ som finns, är många ineffektiva eller kopplade till bieffekter. Den vanligaste svampsorten som är ansvarig för svampinfektioner är Candida. Candida är också benägen att utveckla resistans mot medicinerna som finns, därför är behovet till att hInfections due to the opportunistic fungus Candida have been on the rise the last decades, especially in immunocompromised individuals and in hospital settings. Unfortunately, the treatments available today are limited, especially because of their severe side effects in patients, increase of multi-drug resistance and the eukaryotic nature of Candida.

This paper evaluates the effects of the economic reactions to the coronavirus crisis in Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. By using a structural vector autoregressive model we find the effect of a change in government spending, tax revenue and interest rates on GDP and unemployment. By calculating the effect found in historic data, we can estimate how the corona stimulus
Det hör till ovanligheten att arrende upphör att gälla till följd av förverkande. Reglerna om förverkande har högt ställda krav på överträdelse för att sådant yrkande ska bifallas. De i 8 kap. 23 § JB uppradade förverkandegrunderna får vid överträdelse inte vara av ringa betydelse och övriga grunder som stödjer yrkandet om förverkande ska vara av synnerlig vikt för jordägaren. Utöver de högt ställLeaseholds that ceases due to forfeiture rarely happens. In order to successfully claim the cease of leasehold due to forfeiture, the violation needs to be significant. Swedish Land and Cadastral Legislation (Land Code) contains the grounds of forfeiture and it also states that the matter needs to be more than minor importance. The general clause, which means a violation not directly stated in the
Denna uppsats syftar till att bidra med ökad kunskap kring hur värde skapas internt i människobehandlande verksamheter, samt dess påverkan på arbetsmiljön och vidare det externa värdeskapandet. Fokus har följaktligen varit på att skildra medarbetarnas perspektiv och redogöra för hur de upplever att kontroll och handlingsutrymme påverkar deras förutsättningar i skapandet av värde på arbetsplatsen.
