While the development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in health care have literally exploded in recent years, general practitioners (GPs) continue to struggle with a fragmented health care system and complex patients with multiple conditions and increasing care needs. An ageing population, task shifting from secondary care to ambulatory services without adequate resource allocation, and po
Objectives: To examine (1) the relationship between anthropometric measurements and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) diameter; (2) whether thin RLNs have different baseline electromyographic (EMG) characteristics; (3) if thin or branched morphology is associated with increased risk of EMG adverse events, loss of signal (LOS) or vocal cord paresis/paralysis (VCP). Methods: In this prospective study,
Background and Aims: Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is the standard treatment for noninvasive ampullary lesions (ALs), whereas advanced cases require surgery. Managing ALs is challenging and may lead to over- or undertreatment. We developed a score to identify the best candidates for endoscopic or surgical treatment. Methods: We analyzed 447 patients who underwent EP. The cohort was randomly split i
This paper contains an identification key and descriptions in Swedish to the species of Caloplaca s. lat. currently known from theNordic countries.
This study examines patterns of religiosity in contemporary Sweden by analysing the 2018 wave of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) using latent class analysis (LCA). The study contributes to ongoing debates on secularisation, fuzzy fidelity, and the spiritual revolution by identifying different orientations of (non-)religiosity in the Swedish context. The results reveal a consistent
This study examines the linguistic characteristics of the speech of female villains in Japanese fictional dialogue, with the aim of determining whether female villains employ a distinct role language or yakuwarigo, that is, a distinct speech style that indexes characterization based on social stereotypes. An original, small-scale corpus was constructed consisting of dialogue from female villains,
The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between trust in government authorities and the public sector and household preparedness. Furthermore, where such a relationship exists, the study seeks to determine which societal groups generally exhibit higher or lower levels of trust. The study was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, including a survey that collected 402 responses, as
This thesis concerns localisation, shape reconstruction and pose estimation from monocular images. While multiple cameras allows for triangulation to capture depth in scenes, monocular settings require some of relative features, reasonable real-world assumptions, regularisation, Machine Learning (ML) or a combination of these. The accompanying articles to this compilation thesis treats several top
The central complex is a conserved brain region at the core of insect navigation, integrating sensory information to guide behavior across species spanning over 400 million years of evolution. While connectomes of the fruit fly have provided unprecedented detail about its circuitry, understanding how this neural architecture varies across insects with diverse navigational capabilities requires com
Northern Sweden is in the middle of a fundamental industrial reinvigoration. The push for climate neutrality has made the region particularly attractive to sustainable alternatives to the fossil fueled industries of the past. The thesis has investigated Boden county, where the company Stegra, formerly known as H2 Green Steel is aiming to build the world's first fossil free steel manufacturing
This study explores the dissonance between the municipality of Sollefteå and the region of Västernorrland in the case of the restructuring of Sollefteå hospital. This is done through a thematic document analysis and semi-structured interview. The study uses theories of New public Governance, the concept of peripheralization and welfare as a planning tool as the foundation for the analysis. The use
This paper examines how LKAB, the municipality of Kiruna and the Swedish Tenants Union (STU) approached Kiruna’s urban relocation, specifically the tenants' situation that arose during its first phase. Using theories of commodification and gamification of rental housing, the paper analyses how institutional responsibilities toward tenants were understood and negotiated within the Swedish renta
Urbanization and densification place increasing demands on human mental capacity, making access to restorative environments in the city increasingly important. This bachelor's thesis investigates how the City of Stockholm plans for green structure as a resource for residents' mental health and recovery, and how strategies for this have changed between 2006 and 2017. The purpose is to highl
The difference between the English North and South has long been a defining feature within the political and economical debate of the United Kingdom. Research has traditionally been done either explaining the regional inequalities of the region or the examination of the difference in material indicators such as income and employment. This thesis explores the role of the media and how the media dis
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the issue of car dependency is represented within the transportation system of Region Skåne and how that representation shapes the region’s strategy for mobility. This is done through a document analysis of the active version of the transportation strategy from 2017 as well as the soon-to-be implemented draft version from 2025 using the “What’s the prob
