Abstract – Introduction: Peripheral intravenous catheterization is commonly required in sick neonates but remains challenging due to small vessels, leading to multiple attempts and complications. This review evaluated the benefits and harms of device-assisted techniques versus standard technique. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Cochrane Reviews, WHO ICTRP, and ClinicalTrials.gov (Oc
Abstract Authors: Linnéa Lindvall and Josefine Persson Title: Genus i hemtjänsten - en studie om män och kvinnor som arbetar inom hemtjänsten. Supervisor: Tove Harnett Assessor: Anders Östnäs The aim of our study was to examine the difference between how male and females, working in a home care profession, view their role. To be more specific, the gender dimension between staff members, descriptio
The aim of this study was to focus on how municipal social-workers work with honor related abuse (HRA) in a smaller community in Sweden. The purpose of the study was to study if there were any changes in how the municipal social-workers described their work with honor-related abuse today compared to the year of 2012. The theories and the perspectives used for this study include: the gender theory,
Denna rapport har granskat brandskyddet i allaktivitetshuset Kulturmejeriet i Lund. Granskningen har genomförts med fokus på personsäkerhet. Skador på egendom och miljö har inte beaktats i rapporten. Utifrån ett antal tänkbara brandscenarier valdes tre representativa scenarier. Dessa scenarier analyserades vidare med datorsimulering för brandutveckling och utrymning. Simuleringarna som genomförd
This thesis will in turn evaluate the forecast performance of different ARCH-type models' forecast ability using Bitcoin returns from 01-04-2015 to 01-04-2022. More specifically, it is of interest to see if a simple GARCH(1,1) model can outperform more sophisticated models that incorporate the asymmetry in volatility. Besides the GARCH(1,1) model, other models used in this thesis were the IGAR
Purpose: This study aims to examine changes in the acquired company’s MCS post-M&A and how the employees perceive this change. Further, the purpose is to investigate how employees' perceptions affect the employees’ motivation and identity. Methodology: This study follows a qualitative research approach by analyzing an acquired company in the logistic industry. Data was collected through s
Background:The research of social science tends in many cases lean towards an approach that focus on negatively influencing factors, rather than health promoting factors from a salutogenic perspective. In the field of criminology, this approach commonly investigates reasons behind criminal behavior instead of studying the salutogenic factors, i.e. reasons why people do not engage in a criminal lif
Debates of whether Z=114 and N=184 are the next magic numbers in nuclear physics have existed since the earliest predictions made in the 1960s. Until these days they have not been firmly established. To get a better understanding of the magic numbers, it is of key importance to study the nuclei in the vicinity of established and anticipated shell closures. Above shell closures, fast alpha-decaying
The purpose of this Master's Thesis was to gain insight to how injection molded nanostructures could be used together with hearing instrument materials. The reason to investigate this new nanotechnology was to see if it is of interest for Oticon to invest in. To reach conclusions, literature was studied regarding surfaces wetting properties, capillary effects, adhesion and material properties.
Greenery and water create ecosystem services that are particularly important in cities, where these areas can be limited. It is therefore important that greenery and water are well incorporated in the planning stage of city development. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biotope area factor of six different apartment courtyards that were a part of the housing fair Bo01 in Malmö, Sweden.
The topic of this study is to develop and validate an analysis method of nicotine nasal spray produced at McNeil AB. When developing the analysis method, several parameters were determined in advance to make the method more similar to other analysis methods at the company, making it more practical. However, other parameters were adjusted with the aim to improve the resolution and to fulfil the upd
Introduction: Narasin is a feed additive for animals to treat the parasitic disease Coccidiosis. The antibiotic is deadly to humans when consumed in large amounts. Studies has shown that Narasin can transfer on Vancomycin resistant E. Faecium (VRE). Vancomycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in humans. The resistance could be passed on to humans from the chicken and contribute
This is an explorative study of source material that has not been studied before, journals from Asylerna för husvilla in the beginning of the 20th century Stockholm. Asylerna för husvilla was a municipal organisation which was a part of the public poor relief in Stockholm at the time and offered temporal lodging, ”asyler”, for homeless people. The study is a quantitative study of the people who st
Problem - Uncertainty greatly burdens innovation in tech-driven industries which has made decision-making an art-like navigation, especially within the Fuzzy Front End of operations. This has motivated previous researchers to study the effectual decision-making principles originated by Sarasvathy in regard to a wide variety of audiences such as entrepreneurs, start-ups and top management. Employee
This paper studies the effect of non-financial performance on the stock performance of companies. By using ESG ratings from the Thomson Reuters Eikon DataStream we were able to sort the companies into portfolios of high and low ESG performance. The study finds that low scoring ESG companies significantly outperformed their high scoring counterpart for the period 2010-2015 but that the difference c
Linking conflict events and cropland development in Afghanistan, 2001 to 2011, using MODIS land cover data and Uppsala Conflict Data Programme This thesis describes changes in land cover between 2001 and 2011 in Afghanistan, and analyzes the influence of conflict events on cropland development. How did fighting intensity affect cropland areas in Afghanistan, did cropland areas decrease or incre
Misleading health information remains a central concern in medical sociology and public health due to its harmful effects on individuals and society. As health information-seeking increasingly shifts to digital platforms, Large Language Models (LLMs)—now commonly used as search engines—have intensified concerns about the spread of health misinformation. This study examines the potential for LLMs t
I detta arbete undersöktes potentialen av en biofilmsprocess med suspenderade bärare (MBBR) som efternitrifikation att minska halterna av ammoniumkväve som släpps ut med det behandlade avloppsvattnet. För detta genomfördes en studie i en pilotanläggning vid Ellinge avloppsre-ningsverk där två parallella reaktorer med olika driftsätt jämfördes, varav den ena periodvis ut-sattes för högre belastningThis study investigated the potential of a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) process as a post-nitrification step to reduce ammonium nitrogen concentrations in treated wastewater. The study was conducted in a pilot plant at Ellinge wastewater treatment plant, where two parallel reactors with different operating strategies were compared, one of which was periodically subjected to higher loading thr
Uppsatsens syfte har varit att beskriva den svenska sexmånadersregeln i IL 3 kap. 9 § första stycket, och utreda om den i en situation där lön utbetalas retroaktivt kan verka diskriminerande och därmed strida mot EU-rätten. Som obegränsat skattskyldig i Sverige är man enligt bosättningsprincipen skattskyldig för alla sina inkomster här, även sådana inkomster som kommer från utlandet. SexmånadersreThis thesis aims to describe the Swedish six months rule and analyse whether the provision in a situation where compensation is given retroactively should be viewed as discriminating and incompatible with EU law. An individual unlimited liable to tax in Sweden is tax liable on his worldwide income. The six months rule works as an exception, stating that anyone that is unlimited liable to tax in Sw
