Antimicrobial resistance is an acute global health problem. Sub-Saharan Africa is particularly vulnerable, where antibiotic self-medication is one of the main causes of antimicrobial resistance. Previous research points to the role of pharmacies, where antibiotics are sometimes sold over the counter. Such behavior can be analyzed economically using game theory. This study aimed to analyze and moti
Significant advancements in audio transport, encoding, and processing power in embedded systems constitute the foundation of today’s speakers. Transitioning the digitalized audio data transmission to Audio over IP (AoIP) has opened the potential to transmit audio with the same network flexibility as other services using packet-based networks, such as voice over IP or video over IP. This thesis pri
Nepal is one of the largest recipients of remittances compared to the size of the economy, reaching 30,1% of GDP in 2018. This makes understanding them, their effects, and how to positively impact that an important policy tool. Additionally, remittances outpace both Official Development Aid and Foreign Direct Investments for Low- and Middle-Income countries. It has become increasingly apparent
The purpose of this master’s thesis is to illuminate the information practices of professional musicians in the field of Early music. These musicians have a special interest in exploring the performance practices of the time periods when the music was composed, to make it more vivid in the present. This more and more widespread approach to Early music is called Historically Informed Performance (H
Staling is the ageing of baked products, excluding microbial spoilage, and a great cause for consumer rejection. Due to its complexity, it is still not completely understood, however, the main causes are believed to be starch retrogradation, water redistribution and water loss. Scuffin is a baked product combining traits from both a muffin and a scone. The overall aim of this master thesis was to
Rättssäkerhet är en grundläggande förutsättning för ett fungerande samhälle. För att öka enskildas förtroende till staten krävs det att individen skyddas mot godtycklig rättstillämpning. Genom att garantera medborgarnas likhet inför lagen och lagars förutsebarhet ökar rättssäkerheten. Dessvärre korrelerar inte alltid rättssäkerheten med tillämpning av Sveriges lagar. Lagen (2014:307) om straff förRule of law is a fundamental requirement for a functioning society. To in-crease individuals' trust in the state, it is necessary to protect the individual against arbitrary application of the law. Guaranteeing citizens' equality before the law and the predictability of laws increases legal certainty. Unfortunately, legal certainty does not always correlate with the application of Sweden&#
This master’s thesis is about digital history and digital documents, studying attitudes and practises concerning this in some non-profit organizations. The study centres on how creators of archives handle their digital presence and on what they think about their digital material as part of their future history. The study has two main theoretical starting points: one in document theory, centring
Being one of the poorest countries in the world in UN’s Human Development Ranking, Mozambique struggles with both poverty and malnutrition. This runs counter to the fact that Mozambique is a country rich in natural resources with a great supply of crops. Research has shown that the lack of preserving methods within the agricultural field is a contributing factor that strongly affects the countries
The factors behind the struggle for women’s empowerment in Iran are a combination of social, religio-cultural and traditional constraints. These have been institutionalized through the legal and legislative system, as well as the informal traditional practices in the public and private spheres. The Iranian legislative apparatus which directly and indirectly poses constraints on women’s presence in

The aim of this study is to conduct preliminary risk assessments of two abandoned landfills in the villages of Bjärsjölagård and Fränninge, in the municipality of Sjöbo, Scania. Assessing risks connected to abandoned landfills is of great importance as they can contain a large number of pollutants, hence pose a risk for their surroundings by polluting soil, ground water and even buildings. It is a
Accessibility is something that many take for granted. For people with disabilities is, more often than not, the case not so. This in particular becomes a problem if the ability to reside in a community’s streetscape becomes a problem. It is mainly these people that society must adapt to. Public transport is an important part of society. Buses are a large part of the public transport. Public trans
The purpose of this study was to examine how boys and girls are selected to participate in social group work in school. More specifically it sought to analyse what kind of gender discourses arise when teachers discuss girls’ and boys’ problematic behaviour. Four teachers who work at a school in a large city in Sweden were interviewed. They work in grades five and six and collaborate closely with t
Malignt melanom är en aggressiv form av hudcancer. Genmutationer kan påskynda sjukdomsförloppet och spridningen av tumörer, men specialanpassad behandling finns att tillgå. Idag används DNA-analys för att upptäcka genmutationer, vilket är kostsamt och tidskrävande. Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka om djupinlärning (deep learning) kan användas för att hitta genmutationer från vävnadsbMalignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer. Gene mutations can make the disease progress faster, but specialised treatment exists. Today, gene mutations are detected with DNA-analysis which is costly and time-consuming. The aim of our thesis is to investigate whether deep learning can be used to differentiate whole-slide images of tumours with different gene mutations. This was done i
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för stora utsläpp av växthusgaser från byggnadsmaterial- och energianvändning. Byggbranschen står idag för ca en femtedel av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Ett område med stor potential är byggnadsmaterial där IsoTimber är ett av företagen som driver utvecklingen framåt. IsoTimber är en relativt ny aktör inom byggsektorn som tillverkar prefabricerade väggar i trThe construction and real estate sector accounts for a large part of the emission of greenhouse gases from the usage of building material and energy. The construction industry today accounts for about one-fifth of Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions. One area with great potential is building materials where IsoTimber is one of the companies that drive the development forward. IsoTimber is a re

Brain drain refers to the international migration of highly skilled people. It can affect countries of all development levels, but it is the brain drain from developing countries that has garnered the most attention. There are two purposes with this study, the first is to find the relationship between brain drain and unemployment, GNI per capita and political stability. The second purpose is to se
The coast is an ever-changing environment, and due to climate change, coastal research is becoming more challenging. To detect changes in the coastline, such as erosion, researchers need large amounts of data over long periods of time. Part of the solution could be the citizen science project CoastSnap – a global community beach monitoring program. The aim of this study was to examine factors that
