Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly, raising critical concerns about the integrity of digital content, particularly in sensitive domains such as medical imaging. Recent AI techniques, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and diffusion models, can generate highly realistic synthetic medical images, posing risks of misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, and other adverse outcomes.
Climate change is recognized as one of the greatest environmental threats facing the world today. To tackle this problem, a protocol was adopted in Kyoto in 1997 which establishes legally binding commitments to developed countries to bring down the emissions of six major greenhouse gases by 5.2% compared to the year 1990. Three flexibility mechanisms have been provided to developed countries to ac
With this research we aim to understand the dynamics of consumers' use of cancel culture as a resource for their identity construction online. Theories included were surrounding framing, morality, consumers as moral protagonists, purity and dirt as well as distaste and symbolic violence. These theories were selected to aid with the analysis of the empirical material and to add new insight to t
Title – Using Lean Practices to Develop Improvement Suggestions for a Warehouse: A case study of a company in the perishables industry Author – Leon Liljeqvist Supervisor – Joakim Kembro, Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering – LTH, Lund University Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to improve the turnover of goods at the most prominent locations in the warehouse's
Flow cytometry (FCM) is a powerful method for analysing cell characteristics, for cell quantification and for separation of different species. An automated FCM processing pipeline for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) was developed, and an analytical pipeline for co-cultures of LAB and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was designed. Data processing pipelines for Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 sampled over
The global surge in plastic production, particularly single-use packaging, has triggered pressing environmental and health concerns. Addressing this crisis necessitates transformative shifts within the plastic packaging system, prioritizing the reduction, reuse, and recycling of plastic packaging. The European Union (EU) has initiated a Plastic Strategy to combat the plastic issue. This study eval
Great investments are planned in the north of Sweden the coming years, not the least in the county of Norrbotten where the projects collectively are referred to as the green transition due to the focus on fossil-free techniques. But to be able to secure a sustainable energy supply and reach the goal set by the member states of the European Union of a carbon dioxide neutral union in 2050 the produc
Den utländska prostituerade kvinnan har under drygt 100 år gått från att utvisas på grund av sin asocialitet till att i dag betraktas som ett offer. En utveckling som skett över lång tid där lagstiftarens och samhällets syn på problemet påverkat varandra om vartannat. Ett tydligt ställningstagande presenterades från statens sida när en kriminalisering av sexköp infördes år 1999. Prostitutionen varThe foreign prostitute has, over a period of more than 100 years, transitioned from being deported due to her antisocial behavior to being regarded as a victim today. This development has taken place over an extended period, where the perspectives of legislators and society have alternately influenced each other. A clear stance was taken by the state when the criminalization of sex purchase was in
Syftet med uppsatsen är att presentera möjligheter att hänföra en PMSCs (Private Military and Security Company) överträdelser av internationell rätt till en kontrakterande Stat. Uppsatsen fokuserar på relevanta bestämmelser i ARSIWA som det huvudsakliga rättsliga ramverket för Statsansvar. Uppsatsen presenterar definitionen av PMSCs och relevanta egenskaper rörande dess arbetssätt och organisationThe aim of the thesis is to present the possibilities of attributing the unlawful conduct of a Private Military and Security Company (PMSC) to a contracting State. It focuses on relevant provisions of ARSIWA as the main legal framework on State responsibility for wrongful acts. It will focus on relevant characteristics of PMSCs that contribute to the assessment of these entities under the law of a
After the 2014 invasion of contested areas in Iraq by the so-called Islamic State (IS), the Yazidi community has suffered dire consequences. Genocide, sexual enslavement, forced religious conversion and forced displacement were some of these horrendous acts committed by IS against the Yazidi community and other minorities in Iraq and Syria. This thesis builds from the infusion of agonist theory in
Vårdnadsrelaterade tvister har ökat markant de senaste åren. För varje tvist finns det minst ett barn som påverkas, men barn saknar i svensk rätt både talerätt och processbehörighet i dessa mål. Det finns emellertid vissa rättigheter som ska tillförsäkra att barnets intressen tillgodoses i processen; barnets bästa och barnets rätt att komma till tals. Barn har rätt att uttrycka sina åsikter och at
AIMS: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of non-invasive pressure-volume (PV) loop variables by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for determining development of adverse remodelling 3 months after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).METHODS AND RESULTS: In total, 181 STEMI patients examined with CMR during the index admi
Aims: More than 90% of patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction have LV dyssynchrony and a high probability of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). A subgroup of patients with non-specific intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD) have a LBBB-like LV activation pattern when studied using invasive mapping and advanced echocardi
The Swedish Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases worked with paediatric societies for emergency medicine, anaesthesia, and intensive care to produce the 2025 recommendations for the initial management of suspected sepsis. They cover 28 days of corrected age to 18 years, but exclude immunodeficiency, immunosuppression, and suspected meningitis. Suspicion of sepsis and sepsis-associated shock i
Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors have shown promise as anti-cancer agents in malignancies. However, their specific effects on gastric cancer (GC) and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Our aim was to investigate this by combining evidence from population-based studies with data obtained from in vivo and in vitro experiments. By combing a couple of nationwide Swedish registers, GC patie
BACKGROUND: Patients presenting with an acutely painful swollen joint represent a diagnostic challenge. We aimed to develop a clinical prediction model for septic arthritis (SA) in the adult native knee.METHODS: We screened all synovial cultures in south Sweden in 2020 and 2021. We included cultures taken in the emergency department from adults' native knees where SA was considered a differential
Changes in drug use in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic and their long-term consequences are not well understood. We employed natural language processing and machine learning to analyse a large dataset of self-reported rates of and reasons for drug use during the pandemic, along with their associations with anxiety, depression and substance use problems post-pandemic. Our findin
Labile organic carbon is a major nutrient, controlling microbial activity in aquatic ecosystems and contributing to the global cycling of carbon. During the production and distribution of drinking water, labile carbon fractions often escape treatment, which threatens water quality and biostability. This study proposes and compares two rapid methods for monitoring the production and removal of labi
During a series of writing workshops at a shelter for young homeless people in Copenhagen, I examined to what extent the literary practice of student-driven imitation with its emphasis on self-governance and a dialogical approach can engage marginalized learners in reading and writing. I found that studentdriven imitation had the potential to engage different kinds of writers and that they adopted
