We know little about the health consequences of human exposure to microorganisms in the environment. This may largely be due to the lack of universally accepted, sensitive, reproducible, non-discriminatory, and health relevant methods for characterizing the exposure. In this review, some of the different mass spectrometry methods that have been developed for measuring endotoxin and peptidoglycan f
This thesis investigates the modern phenomena of ruralisation; people leave the city for a life in a calm rural region, explained by theories of lifestyle migration, push pull effects and new expectations. During the last 20 years, migration from Stockholm to four Swedish rural regions have increased with 37 percent according to collected statistics, answering the first research question on how mi
Skyddsombudens rätt att stoppa arbetet ska användas restriktivt. Samtidigt har Corona påverkat hela världen och viruset kan innebära dödlig utgång om man inte är vaccinerad. Trots att rekvisiten för rätten att stoppa arbetet torde vara uppfyllda så meddelas sällan ett förbud ifrån Arbetsmiljöverket och/eller förvaltningsdomstolarna. I detta arbete görs en analys om varför utifrån samtliga överklag
Bakgrund: Cirka var tredje kvinna i världen har blivit utsatt för våld av en partner och mörkertalet är stort. Trots att identifiering av våld ökar betydligt när vårdpersonal ställer frågor om våldsutsatthet är det många inom vården som inte gör det. Syfte: Att undersöka faktorer som underlättar och hindrar kommunikation för identifiering av kvinnor utsatta för våld i nära relationer. Metod: I en
While grey infrastructure, such as sea walls, have been the traditional method of mitigating coastal hazards there has been an increasing interest in adapting using natural processes, known as Nature-based Solutions (NbS). As with most places in the world, southern Sweden is facing an increase in coastal hazards due to climate change related sea level rise. There is a need to understand the utilit
The European Spallation Source (ESS) has launched a project called HighNESS, with the task of investigating the potential of adding a second moderator system to the facility, with ortho-deuterium (o-D2) being the main material of interest. Another moderator material which could be of interest is hydrogen deuteride (HD). The purpose of this second moderator system would be to provide a high intensi
Owing to the intensive computation involved in the Discrete Cosine Transform during image com- pression, the design of the efficient hardware architectures for fast computation of the transform has become imperative, especially for real-time applications. Although fast computation techniques have been able to minimise the hardware computation complexity to a certain limit, they could further exten
I den här rapporten undersöks möjligheten för att tillverka och använda gjutmodeller tillverkade genom additiv tillverkning, i folkmun kallat 3D-printing. Först görs en grundläggande analys över hur modellerna tillverkas idag och vilka krav som ställs på modellen. Detta innefattar både rena material och hållfasthetskrav, men även mer svårdefinierade krav där man enbart kan resonera kring rimliga aIn this report the possibility for the manufacture and use of molding-patterns made through additive manufacturing methods, commonly called 3D-printing, is evaluated. First an analysis of how the patterns are currently being made and which demands that are put on them will be made. This includes more pure material and load demands, as well as more abstract and hard defined demands. After this the
Famine has played an essential part in the rise and fall of many civilizations. Yet, many considers the plight of famine a phenomenon of the past, reserved for but the poorest parts of the world. In Europe there are plenty examples of famine and hardship during the 19th century. When the most recent famine in Swedish history struck the area of Småland during the 1860s, the mortality distribution d
Bakgrund: Förekomsten av utmattningssyndrom (UMS) ökar i Sverige, vilket leder till allt längre sjukskrivningstider. En längre period med höga nivåer av stress i kombination med otillräcklig återhämtningkan leda till utvecklandet av UMS. Syndromet kännetecknas av tre aspekter: känsla av utmattning, mental distansering och minskad effektivitet. Att vara drabbad av UMS ökar risken för tveckling av e
In this paper a parallel implementation of three methods, Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel and Successive over relaxation (SOR), for solving large and sparse linear systems derived from Poisson type PDEs are investigated in order to find the faster solver method. Workload which is decoupled can be done faster in parallel than sequentially. We use a grid to discretize the PDE and the order of the grid cells yi
Between 2014 and 2015 Sweden accepted, by its standards, an unprecedented amount of asylum seekers into the country. The total effect which that had on the country politically and socially may not be fully understood yet but it represented a shifting point in Swedish politics. The image of Sweden as open, tolerant and liberal had been challenged and the political response was a strict tightening o
Bakgrund: Genomförd litteraturöversikt berör sjuksköterskans erfarenhet av att tidigt identifiera patienter med sepsis samt vilka faktorer som påverkar identifieringen. Sepsis är ett globalt problem där 11 miljoner dör årligen. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i den tidigare identifieringen då det ofta är hen som träffar patienten i form av triagering på akutmottagning eller ser patienten på
För att lösa problemet som kom med de humanitära kriser som förelåg un-der 1900-talet, började det internationella samfundet arbeta fram en ny princip. Principen föddes 2001 genom rapporten Responsibility to Protect skriven av ICISS. Responsibility to Protect (R2P) blev enhälligt antaget vid 2005 World Summit där världens statsöverhuvuden och regeringar deltog för att, bland annat, lösa problemet To solve the problem of humanitarian crises of the 20th century, the international community started the process of developing a new principle. This principle came to fruition in 2001 in the report of the ICISS named Responsibility to Protect. Responsibility to Protect (R2P) was unanimously adopted in the 2005 World Summit where heads of states and governments participated to, among other things,
This case study investigates the involvement of private military companies (PMCs) in two African conflicts. Nigeria and Mozambique hired PMCs in 2014 and 2019 respectively to combat internal insurgencies. The paper aims to answer why these countries hired PMCs and if the PMCs were successful in combating the insurgencies. For the first question, the intensity of the insurgency and the state of the
The pressing issue of sustainability necessitates a broader collaboration span across all fields, such as finance and communication. Investments hold substantial power in the current sustainability reform, and it is therefore crucial that they not only meet the escalating demands of society but also actively contribute to forging a better future. The financial industry continues to grapple with ne
Svenska hästar rankas som bland de bästa i världen och hästnäringen omsätter mer än 72 miljarder kronor per år. Beroende på i vilken roll säljaren agerar så blir olika lagar tillämpliga vid köp av häst. Är säljaren en näringsidkare hamnar man i konsumentköplagen, medan om den är en privatperson så blir köplagen tillämplig. Beroende på vilken lag man hamnar i kan utfallet vid en felbedömning se oliSwedish horses are amongst the top in the world and the revenue of the industry is over 72 billion Swedish crowns per year. Depending on the role the seller is acting as, different laws will apply. If the seller is an entrepreneur, Consumer Sales Act will apply, but if it’s a private person The Sale of Goods act will be applicable. Depending on which law you apply, the outcome could be different.

These coils are integral to the generation of powerful magnetic fields essential for particle accelerator experiments, detectors, and other equipment. At CERN, a range of magnetic coils are utilized, many of which are custom-made and located in various research facilities
Making the city both dense and green is today described as a part of realizing sustainable urban development. Although dense city planning previously has led to less greenery, it is now a development strategy that is used to achieve both aspects. The purpose of this essay is thereby to bring light to the discourse about greenery in the planning process of the dense city. Critical discourse analysi
In this master’s thesis we propose a DensePose-based person re-identification (re-ID) machine learning algorithm building upon previous research on this topic. DensePose, a deep neural network that performs human body part segmentation on images, forms the foundation of our approach. We investigate whether utilization of DensePose can enhance performance on re-ID algorithms with the utilization of
