Det finns många olika utformningar av lyfthjälpmedel och hjälpmedel för att gå, så som patient lyftar och rullatorer, men det finns inte många lösningar som kan göra båda. Detta examensarbete är baserat på en person med fysisk funktionsnedsättning som har specifika behov för vilka det inte fanns någon anpassad lösning. Målet var att utveckla en produkt som kan lyfta användaren från sittandes till There exist many different designs of lifting aids and walking aids, but barely any solutions that can do both. This thesis is based on a person with mobility impairment with specific needs for which there were yet no adapted solution. The goal was to design a product that can lift the user from sitting to standing position and then be a walking aid by supporting the user by the armpits, all this

This thesis investigated how the short video sharing application Douyin produces an effect on city tourist images’ construction and dissemination in China, taking the Internet-famous city of Xi’an as a case study. Based on the semiotic theory and “5W” communication theory, the author collected 30 Xi’an-related short videos on Douyin as samples and recorded the relevant data manually for analysis.

Uppsatsen behandlar domstolens skyldighet att utöva materiell processledning i förhållande till parternas åberopade rättsfakta i dispositiva tvistemål. Utgångspunkten är den spänning som råder mellan dispositionsprincipen, enligt vilken parterna bestämmer processens ram, och domstolens ansvar för att genom materiell processledning klarlägga processmaterialet. Rättegångsbalken ger begränsad väglednThe thesis examines the court’s duty to exercise direction of proceedings in relation to the parties’ referred circumstances in civil cases amenable to out-of-court settlement. The point of departure is the tension between the principle of party disposition, according to which the parties determine the framework of the proceedings, and the court’s responsibility to clarify the procedural material.

Across Europe, breeding bird species are decreasing in several types of habitats. Deciduous forest specialist birds are facing a loss of habitat due to the forest management that removes important key components in the forest, e.g. dead wood. Already in Sweden three woodpecker species that are deciduous forest specialist have decreased in population: one has become locally extinct (middle spotted

A Peripheral Blood Film (PBF) examination with differential count (DIFF) is a common blood test, yielding quantitative and qualitative information about the blood cells of the patient important for diagnostics. The test relies on locating the monolayer, an area on the PBF slide where the cells are located in one layer. This masters thesis explores the possibilities of adopting Machine Learning (ML

Dynamically predicted shelf-life label (DPSL) has been discussed to be one of the solutions to curb meat waste. Therefore, the research about the DPSL label and the perceptible information obtained by minced meat consumers is conducted. The research purpose is to identify the critical factors to design a DPSL label for minced meat consumers, and to design and assess the label with the consumers. T

Travel on railway in Sweden has increased steadily over the past three decades and there are today twice as many passengers travelling by train as there were 30 years ago. The increasing awareness of environmental issues with other methods of transportation is likely to favour railway travel, and so the number of passengers is expected to continue to rise. As the number of passengers increase, so

A central part of the risk assessment of contaminated sites is to conduct surveys of the area to assess the need for remediation. Through literature and interview studies this essay examined how geophysical methods can help to improve the environmental risk assessment of contaminated sites in Sweden. The results point to five main strengths in combining geophysical methods with the conventional me

Trots att preventivmedel är lättillgängligt för kvinnor i Sverige idag, både praktisk och ekonomisk, visar nyligen framlagd forskning att abortstatistiken i Sverige ökat bland kvinnor 24-29 år. Studien lyfter fram negativa attityder gentemot hor-monella preventivmedel som en bidragande faktor. Vår studie ser till hur missupp-fattningarna kring preventivmedel kan förklaras, vilken roll kommunikatioEven though contraceptives in Sweden are made sure to be easily accessible to women both practically and economically resent research by medical institutions in Sweden shows that the abortion statistics are increasing amongst women aged 24-29. The study implicates that the statistics are related to negative attitudes to-wards hormonal contraceptives amongst these women. In our study we aim to in-v

Proteins are one of three macro-components of a diet. An increasing demand for products that can be a complete protein source exists. The vulnerability of the current food system towards environmental impacts and the inability to keep up with the rising population has shifted the focus on valorising underutilised by-products of the food industry. The rapeseed cake (a leftover from rapeseed oil pro

The frequency of harmful algal blooms is increasing steadily, and every summer there are phycotoxins compromising the quality of freshwater ecosystems. Although this is of rising concern, the mechanisms behind harmful algal blooms are not yet fully understood. Cyanobacteria are the usual culprits, while freshwater dinoflagellates have generally been considered non-toxic, though toxic blooms of fre

The overall project objective was to investigate the feasibility of using thermoplastic rubber (TPR) pellet in combination with the fused deposit modeling technique to create 3D objects. The commercially available pseudo-rubber printers available today uses photosensitive binders or laser sintering in the build process. These are however both expensive and exhibits poor mechanical strength and per

Efficient and reliable sample delivery has remained one of the bottlenecks for serial crystallography experiments. Compared with other methods, fixed-target sample delivery offers the advantage of significantly reduced sample consumption and shorter data collection times owing to higher hit rates. Here, a new method of on-chip crystallization is reported which allows the efficient and reproducible

Climate variability is highly impacting on mosquito-borne diseases causing malaria and dengue fever across the globe. Seasonal variability change in temperature and rainfall patterns are impacting on human health. Mosquitoes cause diseases like dengue fever, yellow fever, malaria, Chikungunya, West Nile and Japanese encephalitis. According to estimations by health organizations, annually one milli

BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy-induced emesis is one of the most disturbing side effects in cancer therapy. Thus, antiemetic treatment is a mandatory adjunct in emetogenic chemotherapy.METHODS: Tropisetron (Navoban, Sandoz Pharma Ltd., Basel, Switzerland), a new 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, was compared in a randomized multicenter trial with a high-dose metoclopramide-dexamethasone cocktail for the preven

Den svenska stiftelsen är av mycket gammalt ursprung, och idag ryms flera vitt skilda stiftelsetyper inom stiftelsebegreppet. Bland dessa utmärker sig den näringsdrivande stiftelsen. Trots att stiftelsen inte är en association kan den bedriva näringsverksamhet, antingen direkt genom stiftelsen, eller indirekt via näringsdrivande dotterbolag. Under det senaste halvseklet har den näringsdrivande stiThe Swedish foundation (Sw: stiftelse) is of old origin, and today the concept comprises several different types of foundations, among which the enterprise foundation stands out. Though the foundation is not a form of business entity, it can still carry out commercial activities, either directly through the foundation in its own name, or indirectly via subsidiary companies. During the last half-ce

The environmental impacts of pulp and paper industry are widespread and affect both air and water quality. The resulting large quantities of wastewater from the process are containing pollutants to aquatic organisms. To minimize the environmental impacts the wastewater is passed through an external biological treatment facility that reduces substances. In the process of bleaching sulphate pulp, c

Sealings are an important part in the industrial robot. One important property of the seal is to keep all particles and fluids from the outside, away from the important components inside the robot. Another important property is to keep the oil and grease inside the robot, and prevent leakage. The seal also prevent leakage inside the industrial robot and reduces the risks of sensitive components to
