In order to study and evaluate the care provided at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), an accurate model to assess severity of illness and predict patient mortality based on admission data is required. Since 1983, the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) based on logistic regression (LR) has become one of the international standards for this purpose and is used in Sweden for adults. While being a
Lunds Tekniska Högskola har ett krav på att sammanfattningar i doktorsavhandlingar ska vara populärvetenskapliga. Min avsikt är att beskriva kommunikationssituationen kring detta krav samt undersöka om dessa sammanfattningar är mottagaranpassade. För att ta reda på detta går jag igenom LTH:s riktlinjer för att se vad de uttrycker om kravet och frågar anställda vid LTH samt författare till avhandli
This thesis aims to answer how a new specific electric road technique called Elonroad should be installed to operate an electric bus fleet in the city of Lund at lowest possible cost. An algorithm has been written in MATLAB to obtain the optimal locations for installing electric road sections. Real time measurements of bus movements, dwelling times, velocities and more were obtained from Skånetra
Problem: The open innovation research landscape is comprised of complex and fuzzy concepts, theories, and frameworks, as researchers have developed and relied on varying theoretical concepts that encompass diverse dimensions. The bulk of such research within this space is seen to be constituted by large companies with a lack of consideration for SMEs. Therefore, a framework and guideline that high
Between 2014-2016, Sweden received an influx of some 44, 617 unaccompanied refugee minors (UMs), under 18-year-olds who enter the country and seek asylum without a parent. Taking a short-term ethnographic approach, this study looks at identity (re)construction and fictive kinship among Afghan unaccompanied refugee minors who convert to Christianity in the Church of Sweden, challenging some of the
Biskop Bengt Jonzon i Luleå stift instiftade en tjänst som kyrkoherde för samer på 1950-talet. Författaren beskriver bakgrunden till detta baserat på publikationer av biskop Jonzon, en biografi av hans son Bror Jonzon samt diverse arkivmaterial. Slutsatsen är att tjänsten ger innehavaren bättre möjligheter att utveckla sim språkliga kompetens samt att genom att använda samernas modersmål bättre upIn Sweden the Sami people is a national minority of indigenous people. Traditionally they are living in northern Sweden but can be found all over the country. The Church of Sweden has a long tradition of giving church services using the native Sami language in the Swedish part of Sapmi, the Sami people name of their land. The problem of recruiting Sami speaking clergy has always been great and dif
Anthocyanin, a subgroup of flavonoids, is one of the most extensively distributed plant-based components (Pedreschi R,2007). What impedes a broader industrial adoption of anthocyanins is its poor stability. Micro-encapsulation is one of the most popular techniques to protect the anthocyanins from oxidation. Micro-encapsules consist of a selected encapsulating material surrounding the anthocyanins.
Cities are expected to increase in extent and land-use intensity in the future. Thus, it is important to understand how overall species diversity responds to increasing urbanization to develop urban biodiversity conservation strategies. In this study, I used birds a biodiversity indicator. Using general linear mixed models, I analyzed how urbanization impacts alpha and beta diversity of birds. In
Abstract Digital marketing has been widely explored within B2C while the development within B2B is slower. B2B companies still face difficulties to meet changed customer preferences for marketing and communication. Customers expect personalized marketing in real time, the information flow is changing and it is challenging, both for customers and companies, to handle all available data. This
Background: For most companies that handle large material flows there are buffers between different stages in the supply chain, often referred to as inventory. The main reasons for having these inventories are to achieve economies of scale when handling material flows and to buffer against uncertainties when matching demand and supply. Hence, the main objective in inventory control is to decide
Background Today’s healthcare faces a transformation, driven by an ageing population and an over encumbered care and welfare sector. Self-care solutions based on emerging information and communication technologies make it possible for patients to monitor their medical conditions from home, without the direct assistance of healthcare professionals. Thereby time and resources within the healthc
Background/Problem Description: The purpose of project management is to keep track, organize and assure that the specific goal of a project will be accomplished before the project ends. Without a project management model, it is hard for an organization to monitor and fulfill the purpose of project management. Therefore, ESSIQ AB believes it would be beneficial to have a project management mode
A number of global megatrends, such as self-driving technology, elec- trification of vehicles, ICT, CSR and a lot of other social and political trends are currently impacting the Swedish truck freight system. Identi- fications of these trends and preparedness for the potential impact they will have on the future truck freight system will be paramount for both incumbents and new actors in this system

While industrial robots have traditionally been designed for tasks such as pick-and-place that require a high repeatability, an increasing demand for off-line control and high-precision applications have in recent decades put higher demands on the accuracy of robots. One application in that vain is the detection of X-rays that have been scattered from a sample during X-ray diffraction, which produ
Businesses are increasingly attracted to Emerging Markets due to the potential of increased demand for goods and services, driven mostly by macroeconomic trends in the external business environment. However, the business model approach for emerging markets differs from the one for developed markets as they are faced with a different set of demand and supply conditions. The purpose of this study is
The goal of this thesis is to gain knowledge on the psychological reality of some known rules, conditions, and categorizations that have been observed in the phenomenon of Japanese “rendaku” (also known as sequential voicing). The results presented in this thesis are based on a quantitative study that was aimed at native speakers of Japanese. The conducted experiment for this study was designed as
This thesis will examine the topic of gendered language in Japanese and the elements that contribute to making “feminine” and “masculine” speech what they are. This thesis will further try to distinguish the differences that can be found in women’s and men’s speech. The purpose of this thesis is to find out what perceptions exist of men and women who choose to either break or follow what are consi
Child undernutrition is a worldwide problem with dire consequences that compromises the quality of life and economic growth on different scales (individual, household and community). It affects mainly highly vulnerable populations. Maternal characteristics have proven to be key determinants for child nutritional status. Recently, Brazil has been considered to be a role model in how to fight undern
This thesis explores some of the possibilities of demand side optimization in online advertising, specifically how to evaluate and bid optimally in real time bidding. Theory for many types of optimizations is discussed. The thesis evaluates auctions from a game theory and control theory perspective. It also discusses how big data sets can be used in real time, and how agents can explore unknown st
