The approach “Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design” (CPTED) is frequently used internationally and is recognised as a well functioning crime prevention approach within urban planning. However, the usage of the approach in a Swedish setting is far more limited and less explored. Thus, this paper aims to further investigate the applicability of CPTED in a Swedish context. The case chosen fo

At the same time, it has been proved to be an effective way to oppress other cultures by criticizing and attack its art and music. To say that the rituals of a foreign culture is dirty or not hygienic is to put one’s own culture above the foreign one and es-tabl

The thesis at hand aims to provide an overview of the reuse market(s) for desktop and laptop computers in Sweden in order to support policy-makers and computer reuse organisations in developing strategies and measures to foster computer reuse and thus reducing the volume of related e-waste as outlined in the national Waste Prevention Plan 2014-2017. Existing types of computer reuse organisations,
Introduction. Bread is one of the most consumed foods in the world today. It is also the cause for major food waste streams. Most breads have turned into high glycaemic index products with low nutritional value. This master’s thesis investigated whether the soluble oat fiber ß-glucan (BG) would have positive effects on the abovementioned. There are health claims associated with different doses of
Det finns många olika utformningar av lyfthjälpmedel och hjälpmedel för att gå, så som patient lyftar och rullatorer, men det finns inte många lösningar som kan göra båda. Detta examensarbete är baserat på en person med fysisk funktionsnedsättning som har specifika behov för vilka det inte fanns någon anpassad lösning. Målet var att utveckla en produkt som kan lyfta användaren från sittandes till
Den aktuella studiens syfte var att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan upptagenhet av kost och träning och fyra psykologiska faktorer: hälsoångest, självkänsla, känsla av sammanhang och kroppsuppfattning, då psykiskt välmående som begrepp är alltför mångfacetterat. Ett ytterligare syfte var att undersöka om upptagenhet av kost och träning skiljde sig åt beroende på specifika egenskaper hos The purpose of the present study was to examine whether there are connections between preoccupation with diet, and exercise, and four psychological factors: health anxiety, self-esteem, sense of coherence, and body image, since psychological well- being is a broadly used term. Another aim was to examine whether the preoccupation with diet, and exercise differed depending on some specific character
The objective of this thesis was to contribute to the limited research that has been carried out concerning maxillary sinusitis in medieval Scania. The aspiration was to do an inclusive comparative osteological analysis of three skeletal materials and investigate whether there is a difference in prevalence among rural and urban individuals as well as between sex, age and if an aeitology was visibl
In Sweden, a phenomenon that is becoming more problematic is heatwaves. The summer of 2018 was one of the warmest summers recorded and the need for adaptive measures against the negative effects has never been more urgent. One municipality that are looking for how to handle this is Helsingborg’s municipality. The study focus on how nursing homes in Helsingborg experienced and handled the effects
Purpose: The study aimed to investigate which antecedents affect consumers’ perception of the authenticity of brand activism. Methodology: The study followed a deductive approach. Thereby, hypotheses derived from the theory were quantitatively tested using structural equation modelling based on data collected from 305 participants in a web-based survey. Theory: The study was based on the idea th
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are polysaccharides that are involved in many biological processes. Heparin and dermatan sulfate are highly sulfated GAGs that are involved in the coagulation cascade by regulating thrombin and are used as anticoagulatory drugs. Various peptides have been suggested to constitute the foundation of GAG mimetics to find alternative drugs. This bachelor thesis is focusing on
Background: Fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an imaging technique that visualizes the fetus during pregnancy. It is used for assessing and diagnosing disease, for monitoring high risk pregnancies, and for conducting research. By segmenting three-dimensional fetal magnetic resonance (MR) images, volume estimation of intrauterine structures is possible. The quantification of fetal body volume and
The presence of birds in an ecosystem is often a good indicator of the overall biodiversity. Since birds can be hard to see, their sounds are often used instead to measure their presence. To automatically detect birds the most common method is to use a time-frequency representation together with a convolutional neural network. The most used time-frequency representation is called the spectrogram.
The main purpose of this study was to identify an unknown spice collected from an old shipwreck (Gribshunden). This study was demanding as we were dealing with an aged sample being under water for around 500 years. It is quite probable that many components in our sample have undergone changes or washed away by water, and as a consequence decreased in concentration. However, the strongest guess, ju

Efforts to develop the wild berry industry in Sweden and internationally call for increased knowledge about the consumer perspective. Our objective is to investigate attitudes, product associations, consumption patterns, and foraging behaviour regarding bilberries, with an online survey using a nationally representative sample (N = 2010). The data were analysed with regression and multinomial test
Refractory acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) is poorly studied. In this study, we characterized primary refractory AML and investigated treatment and outcome in a population-based setting. Based on all AML patients receiving intensive induction therapy at 12 Swedish hospitals from 2011 to 2018 (N = 1221), we identified 306 patients that failed to achieve composite complete remission (CRc) after fi
Heroic narrations of Waffen-SS are encountered in several memory cultures, notleast among Cold War émigrés.1 One example of this is the Ukrainian communityin Canada, in particular the so-called third wave of Displaced Persons, refugeesfrom communist rule in Eastern Europe. It constitutes a community of memoryin many key respects at odds with the Canadian mainstream society. Whereas theHolocaust ocThe 14th Waffen-SS Division Galizien was set up in 1943 by Ukrainian volunteers, largely sympathetic to the more conservative Melnyk wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN(m)). Its members took a personal oath of allegiance to Adolf Hitler and served in a number of capacities on the eastern front. In addition to combat at the front, the unit partook in the crushing of the Slovak N
