Background: The lithotomy position is one of the four most common positions during surgical procedures. This position is very vulnerable for the patient and can lead to several different types of complications. To ensure a safe positioning the preoperative assessment and preparations requires an OR nurse’s specialist competence. The aim: The aim was to examine if OR nurses’ years of experience aff
Forskning har kunnat visa att aktiv framplockning av tidigare inlärda minnen kan hämma framplockning av konkurrerande minnen vilket leder till en framplockningsinducerad glömska, kallad retrieval-induced forgetting, RIF. Denna form av glömska tillskrivs ofta en kognitivt inhiberande process som aktiveras för att försvåra framplockning av icke relevanta konkurrerande minnen till förmån för underlätResearch has shown that active retrieval of previously learned memories can diminish retrieval of other concurring memories leading to what is known as retrieval-induced forgetting, RIF. This form of forgetting is often ascribed to a cognitive inhibition-process thought to be activated to reduce retrieval of not relevant concurring memories in favour of retrieval of sought after memories.

The following report constitutes the main part of the course VBR 054 Fire Safety Evaluation given by the Department of Fire Safety Engineering and Systems Safety at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. The main objective of the report is to evaluate the personal safety at Östergötlands länsmuseum in the event of fire. In an initial risk analysis three likely fire scenarios are chosen for
The following report contains a fire safety evaluation of the Nynäshamn hospital in Nynäshamn, Sweden. The report is a part of the course Fire Safety Evaluation, a course in the Fire Protection Engineering Program at Lund University, Faculty of Engineering, Lund, Sweden. The purpose with the report was to evaluate the personal safety in the building, specifically in regards to egress, in case of
In certain types of glulam roof structures with large spans, reliable methods for design with respect to instability are lacking. One example is a three-hinged roof truss with steel tension rods as shown in Figure 1. The types of structures shown in Figure 1 are investigated in the diploma project with the purpose to evaluate and improve the currently used design methods and detailing. Calculation
The thesis is done for the company Gambro which manufactures dialysis products worldwide. The idea of this thesis is to investigate weaknesses of the communication protocol which is used in one of the Gambro dialysis machines, Prismaflex and thereby investigate opportunities to improve the system by using other protocols. The thesis is divided into three major parts. They are the study of Prismafl
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the factors hindering and enabling the use of the environmental composite indicator, the Ecological Footprint, in Denmark. In this project, Actor-network theory and case study research will be applied to the empirical material, consisting of five semi-structured interviews and written documents. The case study approach works as a general research strategy,
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the current fire hazards and evacuation safety on board the M/S Hansa in Helsingborg. The report is a part of the course, VBR054, Fire safety evaluation. The main goal of this report is to study the safety of people evacuating the building, therefore damage to property and structural stability has not been evaluated. M/S Hansa was originally built as a pas
Today the word identity is filled with many different contents. Depending from which perspective one tries to examine a scientific research-question, there is a variety of interpretations of the problem. In this thesis the aim is to prove with help of postmodernist theory how the Swedish identity was built by the articulation of difference towards the other over decades. The analysis is conducted
The main characteristic of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) introduced by the Kyoto Protocol is its twofold objective, aimed at integrating the goal of reducing CO2 emissions, on a local and global scale, with the promotion of sustainable development in developing countries. This work discusses how sustainability assessment at the project level remains a critical issue, as it is often regarde
In this thesis I examine the development and expansion of judicial power in Sweden. The concept of judicial review is defined and related to democratic theory, and the various forms of judicial review in use in Sweden are explained. The main focus is on the political and scientific discussion concerning judicial review since the mid 1970s. It is shown that judicial review so far has been used only
Data taken by the DELPHI experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 183 GeV and 189 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 212 pb-1 have been used to search for the supersymmetric partners of the electrons, muons, and taus in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The decay topologies searched for were the direct decay (ℓ̃ → ℓx̃), producing acoplanar lepton pairs plus mi
We consider the system of particles on a finite interval with pairwise nearest neighbours interaction and external force. This model was introduced by Malyshev [Probl. Inf. Transm. 51 (2015) 31–36] to study the flow of charged particles on a rigorous mathematical level. It is a simplified version of a 3-dimensional classical Coulomb gas model. We study Gibbs distribution at finite positive tempera
During the last few years, a more liberal use of premedication in children scheduled for Ürinary tract examinations was noted. In this retrospective study, the influence of the institution of psychological means for preparation as supplement or alternative to premedication on the incidence of cases receiving premedication was investigated. During the period from 1978 to 1982, this was followed in
