Syftet med studien var att skaffa kunskap om varför patienter med höftledsartros inte utnyttjar vårdgarantin inför operation i större grad. Semistrukturerade intervjuer användes. Tio patienter med höftledsartros intervjuades. Vid bearbetning och analys av materialet har analytisk induktiv metod använts.Resultatet visade att patienternas behov av trygghet, god kvalitet eller lättillgänglighet inte
MRSA är ett ökande internationellt problem, vilket medför att fler patienter behöver vårdas i isolering. Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors och MRSA-bärande patienters och erfarenheter av isoleringsvård samt vad sjuksköterskan kan göra för att förbättra denna. Till litteraturstudien granskades och analyserades elva vetenskapliga artiklar. Integrerad analys användes till resultatet
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal condition affecting around 1 in 10 women. Mostly quantitative research has been made on PCOS and patients’ experiences with health care encounters and qualitative studies are deemed vital to portray more nuanced overviews of experiences from patient perspectives. The purpose with this study is to investigate patients’ own experiences w
Transformation projects still tend to focus on buildings that once had life. This thesis aims to work with those that were never brought to it. In today’s world, there are an increasing amount of projects that garner a lot of attention and investment quite quickly. Some of these are taken through to the design stage and into development, only for them to suddenly not be viable. Development quickl
Stakeholder engagement is viewed as crucial for environmental governance, especially in regard to common-pool resources (CPRs), such as river basins. This study investigates the conceptualisation of stakeholder engagement in Ireland’s third cycle River Basin Management Plan (RBMP). The study examines the underlying presumptions and representations of stakeholder engagement in governmental discours
The increasing urgency of climate change, coupled with the energy crisis and resource scarcity, demands radical and resilient building solutions. Buildings currently consume a significant portion of energy – in the Nordic context, primarily for indoor space conditioning – highlighting their vulnerability to future climate impacts. Free-running buildings, operating without any energy for heating,
Due to the industry 4.0 paradigm shift, manufacturing and pro-duction industries are focusing on Predictive maintenance (PdM) to increase production efficiency and maintenance strategies. Also, adopting data-driven approaches to implement PdM as a result of increased data usage and exchange. However, facing technical and non-technical challenges. Previous studies majorly concentrated on technologi
In this study I analysed reduplicative ablaut ideophones in English for their morphosyntactical properties, as ideophones in other languages have been found to have several marked characteristics in this respect. Informed by the typology of ideophones in other languages, my research questions were whether the reduplicatives would appear integrated into or outside of sentences, if they would fill f
This thesis investigates the impact of the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plan on corporate tax revenue in Latin America. To evaluate the policy implementation, we construct the Tax Avoidance Policy Score (TAPS), a composite index measuring anti-avoidance efforts aligned with BEPS minimum standards from 2000 to 2021. Using a staggered difference-in-differences approach and m
The rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence has sparked both excitement and concern across creative industries. The thesis examines how professionals in the Swedish gaming industry perceive Gen-AI’s role in creative workflows. Using a qualitative approach grounded in semi-structured interviews, an extended Technology Acceptance Model is ap-plied to explore themes such as usefulness,
The widespread adoption of drones has presented new requirements for reliable localization and tracking systems. For this reason acoustic sensing has become an area of growing interest for a passive and cost-effective solution. However, process- ing large amounts of microphone data in real time presents significant hardware challenges. This thesis studies two different types of signal channelizati
Digital platforms have become a crucial tool for career planning, especially for young people in the beginning of their careers. Today’s students must navigate numerous career options while adapting to new digital norms around personal branding and showcasing success. These platforms provide valuable opportunities for inspiration and building a professional identity, enhancing career planning. How
This thesis is a study into how discourses of environmental justice are created in campaigns in a contemporary movement. Using the case of the Norwegian environmental and climate organisation Natur og Ungdom, and more specifically their campaign against illegally set wind turbines on Fosen, Norway, where Sámi reindeer herding has been practices for generations. As a theoretical framework Schlosbe
This master thesis investigates how a manufacturing company develops and implements packaging solutions for sustainable development, using ASSA ABLOY as a case study. Focusing on the sliding door operator produced at a manufacturing plant in Eastern Europe, the study explores the environmental and economic impacts of packaging throughout its life cycle and the internal packaging innovation process
As Swedish migration laws become increasingly exclusionary, there exists integration activities which resist this rhetoric. This thesis looks at the activities carried out by Lunds Kommun social workers, and the organisation Interkultur i Lund. Through my own work as an intern with Lunds Kommun, in the Barn i Start team, I carried out 20 weeks of participant observation, and experienced fun, play,
Climate change, shifting travel patterns, and the growing popularity of Arctic destinations have driven a rapid increase in tourism in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, over the past few decades. Simultaneously, Longyearbyen is at the end of a transition from a coal-mining community toward a tourism-focused town. While previous research on Svalbard has largely focused on environmental sustainability and gov
Infrastructure barriers and high costs of alternative sustainable fuels constrain the global logistics sector's transition to decarbonization. This research investigates how logistics providers establish institutional trust in the 'Book and Claim' service, where the environmental benefits of sustainable fuels are spatially decoupled from the physical transport of goods. Because corpora
Monitoring insect populations and diversity are important to assess ecosystem health. Traditional trapping and manual identification methods are slow and labor-intensive. Entomological lidar offers an automated alternative for monitoring insects in flight, but classifying species remains a challenge. Building empirical databases through catch-and-release methods is impractical due to the enormous
The construction industry faces many challenges, among which sustainability has become a prominent global goal to assess. In a European context, environmental certifications such as the Nordic Swan Ecolabel are a key incentive for addressing sustainability challenges and aim to reach the 2030 goals (UNFCCC, 2015). However, these incentives and considerations must be integrated with the requirement
