The aim of the thesis was to build a test environment to be used by the company Cactus Uniview. The test environment should be a tool (software) for testers in the development department, the test environment should be able to ensure the quality of the tool Cactus Eye. Cactus Eye is connected to a PLCs and can be used to control many PLCs. Cactus Uniview uses a virtual test environment (entirely b
Rättegångsbalken utformades i en tid som skiljer sig väsentligt från dagens samhälle i allmänhet och bevismiljön i synnerhet. I april 2016 tillsatte regeringen en särskild utredning med uppgift att undersöka hur straffprocessen skulle kunna effektiviseras med bevarande krav på rättssäkerhet. I delbetänkandet, SOU 2017:98, föreslogs en ny bevisordning som innebär att en ljud- och bildupptagning av The Code of Judicial Procedure was written at a time that differs significantly from todays, in particularly with respect to handling of evidence. In April 2016, the Swedish Government appointed a special commission of inquiry, with the purpose of presenting a legislative proposal that could make the criminal procedure more efficient, without compromising the rule of law. In the report by the comm
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common and deadliest form of blood cancer in adults, accounting for over 80% of acute leukemic diagnoses. Despite the introduction of new targeted therapies, survival rate remains low in adults, and new therapeutic approaches are needed. In a previous CRISPR screen performed by the Järås group, CALRETICULIN was identified as a regulator of human leuc
This master’s dissertation comprises a life cycle assessment (LCA) of a changing table, which mainly constitutes of FSC certified wood. Results per functional unit showed global warming potential of 12,5 kg CO2 eq, creation of ground level ozone 2,17 g C2H4 eq, emitting of acidifying substances 39,4 g SO2 eq and energy consumption 93,5 MJ during the estimated product life length of 12,5 years. The
This thesis aims to shed light on the impact of the so-called Pay as You Save® (PAYS ®) or on-bill programmes for energy efficiency improvements in the building sector. These programmes are based on an innovative financing model that was developed to overcome several barriers to the up-take of energy efficiency measures by households and businesses. From the consumer’s side, these barriers include
This thesis quantifies how everyday window opening habits affect indoor climate and heating demand in Swedish multi-family dwellings. Minute-by-minute data was analyzed that was collected for one year from 15 dwellings in northern and southern Sweden, logging window angle, air-quality indicators and temperatures indoors and outdoors. More than 17 000 discrete airing events were detected and charac
This project explored the usage and effectiveness of a natural water filtration system using xylem from Picea Abies, or Norway Spruce. The project is concentrated on the region of southeast and south Asia where people suffer from water contamination, providing a concept of a water filter with comprehensive protection against waterborne diseases. The study implemented secondary research on product
Demographic changes in Sweden, including an increasing number of older people and a shrinking workforce, have created challenges for municipal home care services. To meet rising care needs alongside limited resources and staff shortages, digital home care has been introduced as a potential solution. This study examined how leaders in municipal home care perceived and experienced the implementation
Uppsatsen behandlar tillståndsprocessen för landbaserad vindkraft, med fokus på vilka krav som ställs på beslutsunderlaget, gränsdragningen mellan avvisning och komplettering samt det kommunala vetots tillämpning. Syftet är att undersöka om det finns anledning och rättsligt utrymme att öppna upp för en alternativ prövningsprocess, samt att undersöka hur en sådan process kan utformas på ett mer ändThis thesis discusses the permit process for onshore wind power, focusing on the requirements for the decision-making basis, the distinction between rejection and requests for additional information, and the use of the municipal veto. The purpose is to examine whether there are reasons and legal possibilities to introduce an alternative review process, and how such a process could be designed in a

Objective Menopausal transition, brings significant changes to various aspects of health and well-being, including sexuality. These changes are influenced by hormonal changes, psychological factors, and societal perceptions. Historically, research on menopausal transition has predominantly focused on pharmacological treatments, to address symptoms. However, these studies often neglect the inclusio
Early childhood deprivations and inequalities have social and economic implications in adulthood and thus, their elimination is essential for child development. However, child-level estimates of poverty are rare in low income countries. Using data from two recent rounds of the Ghana Demographic and Health Survey, we measure the extent and sources of childhood deprivations in Ghana and examine subg
Owing to the significant societal value of inland water resources, there is a need for cost-effective monitoring of water quality on large scales. We tested the suitability of the recently launched Sentinel-2A to monitor a key water quality parameter, coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM), in various types of lakes in northern Sweden. Values of a(420)CDOM (CDOM absorption at 420 nm wavelength)
There is limited knowledge about the associations between intakes of different foods and inconsistency in the literature of the relation between the quality of food intake and bodyweight in adolescents. The aim of this study is to explore how healthy self-reported food intakes are associated with each other and with overweight/obesity in adolescents. This is a cross-sectional study of seven cohort
PurposeDrylands account for 47.2% of land area and contain 15.5% of global carbon (C). However, the variation in organic and inorganic C stocks across latitudinal gradients in arid and semiarid shrubland ecosystems remains understudied, and we lack in-depth understanding of the main drivers of C variation at this spatial scale.MethodsHere, we sampled soils from 95 sites across a latitudinal gradie
Background: Septic arthritis (SA) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a rare yet severe complication. The samples in previous studies have been small and without nationwide coverage, making analysis uncertain with a risk of bias. Conclusions to recommend preventive measures are therefore difficult to draw, and it has not been possible to perform a comprehensive risk factor an
Background: Opioid substitution treatment (OST) populations are aging and have increased mortality and somatic morbidity compared to general populations internationally. While OST patients have poor self-rated physical health and unmet healthcare needs, documented healthcare utilization has been sparsely investigated. The aim of this study was to assess registered healthcare utilization for somati
Objective:The relationship between fatigue and cognition has not been fully elucidated in children and adolescent survivors of brain tumours. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential relationship between fatigue and cognitive impairments in these survivors, as this group is at risk for both types of deficits.Methods:Survivors of paediatric brain tumours (n = 45) underwent a ne
Background: Given the national shortage of palliative care specialists relative to the need for their services, engaging nonspecialists is important to ensure patients with serious illness have an opportunity to share their goals and values with their providers. Hospital medicine clinicians are well positioned to conduct these conversations given they care for many medically complex patients. Yet,
