Acute ischemic stroke affects men and women differently. In particular, women are often reported to experience higher acute stroke severity than men. We derived a low-dimensional representation of anatomical stroke lesions and designed a Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework tailored to estimate possible sex differences in lesion patterns linked to acute stroke severity (National Institute of H
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) results from disordered brain–gut interactions. Identifying susceptibility genes could highlight the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. We designed a digestive health questionnaire for UK Biobank and combined identified cases with IBS with independent cohorts. We conducted a genome-wide association study with 53,400 cases and 433,201 controls and replicated si
This study explores the ideas behind and development of assigning non-organised volunteers as assistant supervisors within the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. The Swedish way of collaborating with volunteers in supervision of offenders is unique in an international perspective. This article includes an international literature review for this area that seldom is studied. With the help of Cha
The food sector is currently very inefficient due to a large amount of food waste it generates, and the volumes of water and energy used. This problem is aggravated by increasing economic costs and stricter regulations associated with the disposal and treatment of food waste, carbon emissions and wastewater discharge. Because of this, resource efficiency is key to a sustainable food system. In thi
Hvordan kan kriminalforsorgens tilsynsarbejde integrere tilfælde af demokratisk emancipation (: frigørelse, selvstændiggørelse) og dermed inspirere til deltagende medborgerskab for marginaliserede klienter?

As climate change impacts unfold across the globe, growing attention is paid toward producing climate services that support adaptation decision-making. Academia, funding agencies, and decision-makers generally agree that stakeholder engagement in co-producing knowledge is key to ensure effective decision support. However, co-production processes remain challenging to evaluate, given their many int
Water damages in buildings in the Nordic countries results in costs amounting to several billion Euros each year as well as a great deal of unpleasantness. The vast majority of the water damages cost in Sweden is caused by leaks from buildings services in the form of piping such as tap water, sewage, drainage and heating, as well as through insufficiently waterproof layers in wet rooms. The econom
α-Olefin Sulfonate surfactants offer a greener alternative to traditional sulphated surfactants thanks to their higher biodegradability. Their similar molecular structures should, in theory, allow them to be used in the same range of applications as the sulphonated counterpart. However, the newer alternative also comes with novel challenges. While the thickening of a formulation with a sulphated s
This bachelor’s thesis explores the effectiveness of cybersecurity training programs within a Swedish financial institution, utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as the guiding theoretical framework. The research employed a qualitative approach, conducting an online survey with 28 bank employees to gain in-depth insights into their experiences and perceptions. The findings reveal several
By conducting interviews in order to understand what seems to be the most problematic aspect that leaves people sleepless at night I realized 6 things. 1. Seeing what time it is stresses people. 2. A lot of people wake up in the middle of the night. 3. They want an indication of time. 4. When they can’t sleep bad thoughts enter, preventing them from sleeping. 5. Many use the phone as a distraction
Women in developing nations are facing many challenges in order to become entrepreneurs. Inequalities are common both in the working environment and the society. The unemployment among youth, in particular women, is a severe problem in many developing countries, including Uganda in East Africa. Organisations and development programs across the world are trying to address and solve these challenges
This thesis explores the relationship between public policy and democratic values by analysing the 2011 Swedish upper secondary school reform from an equality perspective. It asks what ideas are present in the policy proposal and in what way these ideas have an impact on individuals and society. The questions are answered through integrating two analytical tools: the ”What’s the problem represente
The project has been developed from a proposal made by RegionService (technical real estate for Region Skåne) and based on the replacement of light fixtures from fluorescent lamps to white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) in some hallways in Helsingborgs Lasarett (The Hospital in Helsingborg). The results turned out to be positive and further replacement were made in nearby buildings as well. My part
BUT A SURFACE is a product that offers a surface which helps users to switch between positions they like freely when working from home with devices like laptops. Under the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has become a “new normal”. Compared with working in the office or school, people usually perform more relaxed in positions like sitting casually on lounge chairs or sofas when working from h
Problem definition: The increasingly informed customer will lead to an even greater demand for expertise and knowledge of marketers. Firms need to find new ways to utilize the informed customer as a co-creator of value by more proficiently analyzing behavior, both online and offline. An uncertainty lies in to which extent the operational standards of KIBS firms translate to their marketing and sal
Based on corpora and earlier studies, this paper mainly attempts to answer the question how constructions of restrictive which and that have developed in comparison to one another in American and British English news until today. Corpus queries are designed to match patterns of particular object and subject gap constructions, such as I like the ball that/which is green with subject gap and It is t
Having spent so many of my free hours immersed in the worlds of translated fiction, I set out to create a research project designed to better understand the entanglements of the imagination behind this art. This thesis aims to explore how literary translators construct their identity and how multiple forces create instability in the professional self. It continues to dissect how these identities b
As scholars and specialists are calling for decision oriented rather than process-oriented automation, the work of the Business Process Management (BPM) is also subjected to continuous change. This research seeks to examine the relationship between the Decision Automation Services (DAS) and the role of Business Process Analyst (BPA) in BPM. To achieve this objective, the research analyses the chan
With the rapid development of the autonomous drive (AD) technology, driverless vehicles may soon be reality. As one of the most renowned car manufacturers in the world, Volvo Car Group are investing in and developing the technology. As a part of this development, this thesis was initiated at the Trunk Trim Department. The purpose of this thesis has been to research the area of luggage compartments
Existing pick and place robots are either heavy or have a limited workspace for vertical operations. Since there is no robot today that are both light and have a good vertical workspace, this leads to a gap in the market. With the use of the laws of physics Cognibotics is trying to fill these gaps in the market, by developing new fast and lightweight robots. These new robots are designed to have a
