Modern cancer healthcare prevents deaths but living with the disease creates a need for mental healthcare. Virtual reality (VR) and its abilities to create and maintain convincing illusions has been used for several other purposes within therapy and healthcare. Would it be possible to engineer a virtual environment for therapy within a cancer context? This thesis follows the design process behind
The transport of dangerous goods is associated with the risk of accidents with potentially severe consequences. Therefore, risk analyses are performed before allowing for the exploitation of land near roads designated for the transportation of such goods. Event tree analysis is a common tool for the quantification of accident scenarios regarding probabilities of such events. Previous work done at
This master thesis investigates the use of waterfront locations in the town of Karlskrona. Based on current conditions and future scenarios, a design proposal for new permanent architecture located at the central square of Fisktorget is presented. NHAVET aims to contribute to new experiences that bring the population closer to the sea. It is a meeting point for food, events and communication which
In August 2016, Samsung launched the Galaxy Note7, but the initial excitement of both the company and the market dropped painfully after only a few days when reports covered phones that were bursting into flames. With an increasing number of incidents and massive media coverage, Samsung had to quickly step up its actions from a reluctant withdraw to a global recall within only one month. Hence, th
Global inefficient energy use poses a significant risk to climate change and air quality worldwide; therefore, there is an urgent need to transform today's energy system into one that is rooted in efficiency. The building sector represents an opportunity to reduce energy use and has the potential to unlock additional co-benefits. Today, many of the technologies and design solutions have been p
Biodiversity is decreasing globally due to habitat destruction, pollution, over-exploitation, climate change and the increasing spreading of invasive alien species (IAS). The Swedish legislation on IAS is new and has not been implemented in the municipality of Hässleholm and therefore a study was required. The aim of my study was therefore to investigate how the municipality works with IAS. The IA
Detta projekt handlar om arkitekturens inneboende politiska potential och om att testa arkitektur som verktyg i samhällsförändring. Samhället vi lever i idag är ojämlikt, och arkitekter har genom sin position i byggbranschen makten och ansvaret att motverka detta. Inom arkitekturforskningen finns en stor kunskap om arkitekturens performativa kraft och hur den kan påverka samhället. Jag har dock up
Abstrakt Bakgrund: Det är inte alltid lätt att ha mens, men oavsett hur vi än mår så har vi oftast tillgång till mensskydd. I vissa länder har menskoppen blivit ett omtyckt mensskydd, men kunskapen om hur ofta kvinnor i Sverige använder menskopp eller vilken information som ges är sparsam. Syfte: Att beskriva barnmorskors erfarenheter av menskopp och att informera kvinnor om användandet av den un
As the food demand is rising, the need for sustainable and healthy food products is increasing. Today, many side streams in the food industry are lost even though it can be used as food for humans. The aim of this master thesis project was to investigate and characterize the properties of a by-product from oat drink production and to use the by-product as a main ingredient in vegan oat patties.
A novel calculation model for estimating the frequency of accidents involving transport of dangerous goods on road links is proposed. It has been developed through a design process using background knowledge gathered through study and analysis of literature and through interviews with people having expertise within the field. The purpose of the model is to be used for risk analysis in societal pla
The Catholic Church has for a long time been a strong actor with many facets. The majority of the Latin American countries have a strong link between the church and the state. In El Salvador, one of the poorest countries in Central America, the Catholic Church also played a large role during the civil war, not only in religious terms but also to a certain extent in terms of politics. Historically
To expand knowledge on the mechanisms of breast cancer, the most prevalent cancer in women, the development of new and reliable technologies are of great interest. Phosphoproteome analysis of breast cancer cell lines can reveal important cellular processes active in different subtypes of the disease, and contribute to the understanding of breast cancer progression. Here, different sample preparati
I mitt kommande yrke som kyrkomusiker i Svenska kyrkan kommer jag att leda församlingens musik och i församlingen kommer jag att möta människor som är sångovana eller har svårigheter med att sjunga. I min uppsats redogör jag för mitt arbete med att hjälpa dessa människor att hitta och förbättra sin sångröst, som är ett primärt instrument i församlingens musicerande och gudstjänstliv. Genom studierIf God only gave you one single tone. Helping people with a singing inhibition to find their voice. As an employed church musician in the Church of Sweden I will meet people with an inhibiton when it comes to singing. In my essay I account for my ways of helping them find and improve their singing voice which is one of the primary instruments of congregational music. Through studies of singing lit
Ambulanssjukvård är en verksamhet som under de senaste decennierna successivt ombildats från att huvudsakligen transportera patienter till vårdinrättningar till att idag vara en viktig vårdgivande aktör i mobiliseringen av prehospital akutsjukvård. För att ambulanspersonal ska kunna uppfylla deras utökade arbetsuppgifter och bibehålla god patientsäkerhet i takt med ökade påfrestningar på hela ambuThe operations of emergency medical services have in the past few decades undergone a transformation from mainly transporting patients to health facilities to being a key care-giving contributor in the mobilization of prehospital care. In order for paramedics to fulfill their expanded set of tasks while maintaining good patient safety concurrently with increasing demands on the emergency medical s
In 2012, Mulberry, a well-established British fashion brand recognised for its leadership in the affordable luxury category appointed a new CEO. This CEO aspired to reposition the brand to a target a more premium segment. The aftermath of this repositioning saw the resignation of Mulberry’s creative director, a downturn in customer patronage and several profit warnings. So what should Mulberry do
