Diarrhoeal disease is the second leading cau- se of death in children under five years old, and is responsible for killing around 525 000 children every year. The spread of diseases is also a problem in our western society. Thanks to our developed me- dical infrastructure not to the extent as in de- veloping countries. Nevertheless the amount of work and school hours missed because of preven
Den kontemporära världen i liberal-demokratiska samhällen har, som många noterat tidigare,blivit allt svårare för medborgaren att navigera p.g.a. den informations-explosion som ägt rum. Allt eftersom har utvecklingen intensifierats och lett till en övermättnad i bl.a. produktionen och utbudet av information, samt cirkulationen av informationsfragment vilket tycks ha bidragit till ett försvagande This paper is a critical discourse analysis of the Swedish journalistic discourse regarding their position, production, and the mass-communicative environment in which they operate. The primary topics which are presented and analyzed in this paper are; media logic, media critique and the media landscape. The theoretical underpinnings of this paper are rooted in a critical perspective, represented
Återvinning och återanvändning är processer för både avfallshantering och nyproduktion, detta skapar problem vid fördelning av bördor och vinster i miljöberäkningar. International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) etablerar generella riktlinjer för beräkning av klimatbelastning av återvunna materialflöden, dock saknas etablerade regelverk och normer inom byggbranschen. Detta arbete undersökerRecycle and reuse are processes for both waste management and production of new material, which creates problems in the distribution of burden and credit in environmental calculations. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) establishes general guidelines for calculating the climate impact of recycled and reused materials, but there are no established regulations or standards with
This thesis approaches how International Human Rights Law is addressing the protection of indigenous peoples’ right to land when States give concessions for companies to act inside indigenous traditional territory. Cases of harmful conducts committed by companies in indigenous territory are continuously happening around the world. Regional systems of human rights protection, through their state-ce
The importance of the historical contacts between mainland Finland and the island of Gotland has long been overlooked. The purpose of this analysis is therefore to focus on the contacts between these two areas during a period when cultural and material exchange was of utmost importance, the Viking Age. A common jewellery type used by the Finnish women during the whole Viking Age period were the c
Species richness estimation is an ongoing difficult statistical problem. Most of the research done in this subject focuses on biological data even though, a lot of the methods can be applied more widely. In this paper, we will focus on technological data and compare different known estimators (both, parametric and non-parametric) to see how well they work and compare in determining the total number o
Diabetes mellitus is a global disease, mainly caused by insufficient insulin secre- tion from pancreatic islet β-cells. Insulin is stored in the granules of islet β-cells and released in response to extracellular stimuli e.g. glucose. The state of insulin structure and maturation determines the quality of the released insulin, However, the insulin state in the granules is rarely investigated due t
The use of statistical models in credit rating and application scorecard modelling is a thoroughly explored field within the financial sector and a central component in a credit institution’s underlying business model. The aim of this report was to apply and compare six different machine learning models in predicting credit defaults for high-risk consumer credits, using a data set provided by a Sw
Detta projekt undersöker inflytandet av legeringskomposition, korrosionsmedium, och värmebehandling på korrosionshastigheten av tre magnesiumlegeringar; Mg-5Zn, Mg0.27Ca, and Mg-0.27Ca-5Zn, för användning inom biomedicinska tillämpningar. En ny metod som kombinerar isoterm kalorimetri med tryckmätningar var det huvudsakliga mätinstrumentet som tillämpades i denna undersökning.

A new method combining isothermal calorimetry and pressure measurements was used as a prime experimental tool in this investigation. Material samples were tested in a physiological
El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects weather and climate in regions spread all around the Earth via teleconnections. While quite a lot of research has been done on recognizing what regions are affected by these and what is the sign of the associated temperature, rainfall and vegetation anomalies, not that much attention has been paid to the timing of the impacts with respect to the ENSO sta
The aim of this study has been to examine how professionals in the municipality and county cooperate in the organizational fields surrounding comorbidity between substance abuse and mental health among youngsters. The method chosen for this study was qualitative interviews with seven different professionals working in the social services, child and adolescent psychiatry, and Maria Skåne clinics. T
Mitt examensarbete påbörjades i en fas där jag valt en plats som jag känner en viss hatkärlek gentemot. En hatkärlek som gett mig energi till att skapa min vision. Kärleken ligger i en slags projicerad minnesbild av en plats som idag inte är mycket mer än bara en plats. I ett landskap, cirka 70 meter från vattenbrynet i en badort på Skånes sydkust, står restaurang Pärlan övergiven. En plats som fMy thesis was initiated in a face where I had a chosen site which I feel both love and hate towards. This paradox motivated me to form a future plan for this place. The love I feel lays in a form of projected memory of a place which today not feels more then just an abandoned place. In a landscape, approximately 70 meters from the water in a seaside village in the south of Skåne, the old restaura
I dagens samhälle finns det så mycket information tillgängligt, hela nätverk av information, men hur tolkar man den informationen. Det är för mycket att läsa all data i oändliga lister, följa datarelationerna och analysera det i hopp om att det uppfyller vad man behöver. Så denna uppsatsen utforskar hur man mer effektivt kan förmedla information genom grafiska visualiseringar. Projektet uforskar oIn this day and age with so much information available, networks of information, but how do you interpret that information. It is just too much effort to read it all in endless lists, following data relations and analysing it in hopes of fulfilling your use cases. The goal of this thesis is to explore how to more effectively convey information to people through visualizations. It explores differen
Mitt examensarbete är en undersökning av hur jag själv går till väga för att gestalta ett fritidshus åt mig själv. Vad blir de svåraste valen och vilka beslut kommer jag att ta under arbetets gång. Vad skiljer mellan ett permanentboende och ett fritidshus? Min vision är att fritidshuset ska bli självförsörjande och byggas med naturliga material. Jag har hämtat inspiration från de småländska torpen

Klimatfrågan är komplex, men handlar i grunden om hur vi människor påverkar jordens atmosfär genom utvinning av fossila bränslen, användning av mark och våra konsumtionsmönster. Källorna till klimatpåverkan är många, vilket vi bland annat kan se i termer av att olika växthusgaser frigörs genom olika typer av mänsklig aktivitet. Växthusgaser har olika egenskaper vad gäller deras potential som pådriIn the collected efforts towards understanding earth’s climate system, and acting on climate change, the time dimension is of central importance. When humanity’s collected activity is carbon-neutral, and how the trajectory towards such a state might look, is a tough question to answer. One thing which does however stand out clearly is the fact that the common practice of having CO2-equivalents be
