Objectives The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how a new logistic set-up can lower the transportation cost of OEM articles. Four objectives are identified to that end: identify the OEM articles, map their flow, create simulation tool and examine what logistics set-up is suitable. Background The increasing rate of globalization has put immense pressure on the world’s infrastructure. As a re
I syfte att få en bild av subjektiva upplevelser av självet hos personer med schizofreni intervjuades fyra personer som är eller har varit diagnostiserade med schizofreni och/eller har upplevt återkommande psykotiska episoder. Självet definierades utifrån the minimal self som innebär en omedelbar, upplevelsemässig realitet, och schizofreni som en störning i självet snarare än närvaro och utbredninIn purpose of gaining insight into subjective experiences of the self in people with schizophrenia, four people, who have or have had schizophrenia and/or have experienced recurring psychotic episodes, were interviewed. The self was defined as the minimal self which has an immediate experiential reality, and schizophrenia as a self-disorder rather than presence and prevalence of psychotic symptoms
The self-evident contradictory governance ideology of the Chinese Communist Party leads to urban-born young middle-class Chinese women struggling between seeking one’s own path with the discourse of ‘individualism’ under the neoliberal market economy and conforming to the traditional role in the family of patriarchal culture. This is reflected in the increasing prominent phenomena of getting marri
This report focuses on the topic of economic growth and education. The aim is to investigate the potential relationship between education and economic growth amongst the OECD member states. Together with theoretical perspectives and earlier research I conduct an empirical study aiming to identify if a higher degree of education has a positive impact on economic growth. Education is measured in tot
The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate some of the Swedish recommendations, strategies and tools used for personal safety in underground hard rock mines. The study was conducted using four different research methods divided into three parts based on each other. The first part consisted of a literature study reviewing previous research, laws and recommendations. The second part consisted
I föreliggande socialpsykologiska studie har vi undersökt vad som belyses som central delar av “svenskhet” i introduktionsmaterial till personer som är nya i Sverige, utifrån ett socialkonstruktionistiskt förhållningssätt med kritisk diskursanalys som verktyg. Utifrån från denna forskningsansats betraktades kunskap och förgivettagna antaganden om världen som kulturellt och socialt betingade konstrIn this social psychology study, we have examined the central parts of "swedishness" as they are presented in introductory material to people who are new in Sweden, based on a social constructionist approach with critical discourse analysis as tools. Knowledge and precomposed assumptions about the world were regarded as cultural and social constructions, where language is one of the most
There is a general idea in the bookbusiness that poetry, as a genre, isn’t profitable. At the same time it is considered to be high esteemed to publish poetry. The purpose of this thesis was to illustrate the terms of the genre within the swedish bookmarket by doing a survey of the published poetry in 2016 and comparing it to the advertising in Svensk Bokhandel. The purpose was also to review what
Digitalization is an interesting and timely topic which is actively discussed nowadays. Big data & analytics, blockchain, artificial intelligence & robotic process automation are some of the most emerging technologies. This study aims to investigate the perceived benefits and challenges that these technologies bring, in the context of digitalization, to one of the most favorable profession
I Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning 2018/844, sätter EU krav på sina medlemsländer att skapa strategier för att uppnå energieffektivisering i byggnads-sektorn för att nå de mål som satts upp av FN i Parisavtalet. En stor del av byggnadsbeståndet utgörs av äldre byggnader och dessa byggnader har ofta allt för höga energibehov. För att arbeta mot FN:s mål, finns det ett stort behov av energi-The purpose of this master thesis was to examine what kind of energy efficiency measures that could be applied on older buildings and whether they could be profitable investments. In order to be able to calculate the relative energy saving effect of the measures, a specific building has been chosen, located in Malmö, southern Sweden and was built in the 1880. Different kind of energy efficiency
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utreda gällande rätt angående juridiskt kön och två typer av identitetshandlingar – körkort och pass – samt att analysera gällande rätt ur ett queerteoretiskt perspektiv. Med en teoretisk utgångspunkt i den heterosexuella matrisen, performativitet och makt redogör jag för hur det juridiska könets förekomst i körkort och pass kan påverka transpersoner, personer mThe purpose of this essay is to study the law on legal gender and two kinds of identity documents – driving licenses and passports – and to analyse this law using queer theory. My theoretical framework revolves around the heterosexual matrix, performativity, and power, and with them I describe how the legal gender’s presence can affect transgender people, persons with intersex variations, and othe
Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer related death among women in the developed world. Around 30% of patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer will develop metastatic breast cancer. It is believed that the tumor cells found in the blood, termed Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), could serve as a prognostic marker for this disease as it progresses. Objectives: To st
Background: Non-β-hemolytic streptococci (NBHS) cause blood stream infections (BSI) which can be complicated by infective endocarditis (IE). To stratify the risk for IE in NBHS BSI and to guide the use of echocardiography in this condition, two risk stratification systems (RSSs), the HANDOC score (HANDOC), and the Chamat-Hedemand algorithm (CH-A) have been developed.Objectives: To compare the sens
Purpose: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of retinal detachment (RD) and bacterial endophthalmitis in a cohort of children who underwent cataract surgery before the age of eight. Methods: Data was retrieved from the Swedish national paediatric cataract register. All eyes with congenital or infantile cataract that underwent surgery between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2023 with at
The “nutmeg lung pattern” on fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicates pulmonary lymphangiectasia. This is associated with adverse outcomes, particularly in fetuses with congenital heart defects and impaired pulmonary venous return. Whereas lymphedema is common in fetuses with Turner syndrome, pulmonary lymphangiectasia is not. A 26-year-old woman presented with a fetus with hypoplastic lef
Study region: The Brazilian wooded Cerrado biome is a tropical savanna, over 50 % of which has been converted to agricultural land. Study focus: We evaluated changes in water balance variables (surface flux, evaporation, soil-water storage, infiltration, groundwater recharge, and root uptake) due to climate change. The study included (i) calibration and validation of the Hydrus model through obser
The real antibiotic industrial wastewater with the characteristics of complex compositions, biological toxic, and degradation-resistant, is still biologically toxic to the ecosystem and human health even if the discharge standards have been met after treatment by traditional methods. Therefore, the biological harmless treatment of real antibiotic industrial wastewater is a valuable and meaningful
The article analyses how hunting tourism businesses in Sweden navigate in the nexus between moral and economic value spheres. Through the analytical lens of ‘moral gatekeeper’, the business operators are depicted as acting from a position where they navigate in a contested space. The analysis demonstrates how the operators balance different norms and practices of recreational hunting, wildlife man
We examined how radiation dose levels in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) differ from those used in 2-view full-field digital mammography (FFDM). Acquisition parameter settings and information on the average absorbed dose to the glandular tissues within the breasts were reviewed based on clinical studies that evaluated DBT and FFDM. Dose ratios (DDBT/DFFDM) were derived from imaging protocols, w
