The public sector in Sweden has since the 1980´s looked for inspiration from businesses and corporations in the organization of their work. This due to the emergence of a management trend known as new public management. One effect has been a spread of the concept of lean in multiple public sector organizations all over the country. Lean is a concept and method used to achieve efficiency and qualit
When a quarry closes measurements must be taken to recreate the landscape that originally was there. Old quarries are filled with water and are called artificial lakes. The aim of the study is to compare the water quality in three artificial lakes within a limestone quarry in Degerhamn, Öland with an alvar lake outside the quarry, in order to aid the restoration of the original landscape. The goal
Purpose: To define the curriculum content for two interactive learning courses on age-related macular degeneration (AMD): (1) an advanced course tailored for general ophthalmologists and (2) a basic course for non-ophthalmologist healthcare staff. This initiative aims to establish a national consensus on the educational framework for AMD management among general ophthalmologists in Denmark. Method
One of the major recent breakthroughs has been the discovery of the last major merger to happen in the history of the Milky Way. Around 10 Gyr ago, the galaxy Gaia Enceladus with an estimated ∼10% of the Milky Way mass, fell into the potential of our Galaxy, bringing a large amount of stars that can be identified through their unique chemical and kinematic signatures. Simulations have long predict
Multi-wavelength thermo-optical analysis (MW-TOA) and Raman spectroscopy are commonly used methods to study soot sampled on filters, in terms of carbon content, nanostructure, and absorption properties. In this work, these techniques were combined to study how these characteristic properties of soot change in premixed flames, 1) at various flame heights during soot maturation and 2) as a result of
BACKGROUND: Discrepancy in factor IX activity (FIX:C) between one-stage assay (OSA) and chromogenic substrate assay (CSA) in patients with haemophilia B (PwHB) introduces challenges for clinical management.AIM: To study the differences in FIX activity using OSA and CSA in moderate and mild haemophilia B (HB), their impact on classification of severity, and correlation with genotype.METHODS: Single
This paper consists of a literature study and laboratory experiments of magnesium oxide boards, from Swedish suppliers, that is a part of a larger research project. Lately the boards have become known for the way they absorb moisture which has led to damage on adjacent materials. The boards are inorganic and are marketed as moisture proof. The purpose of the larger research project is to identify
It was a regular Thursday on October 28th in 2021 in the middle of the pandemic where humanity was going about in their everyday lives. However, Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg had before witnessed a plethora of negative stories and reviews following the leak of Facebook ́s internal documents which portrayed the issues with the company. All of the negative press and political battles towards Faceboo
This study examines if abnormal return occurs in conjunction with merger announcements in the short-term and compares it with the compounded one-year buy-and-hold abnormal return in the long-interval for European manufacturing firms. In the final sample, the short-term study consisted of 209 firms, while the long-term incorporated 207, both during a sample period of 20 years. In addition, a set of

The agricultural sector is both affecting and affected by climate change. Future climate is predicted to be warmer and wetter with more weather extremes. This is going to affect the already vulnerable agricultural sector and we need to strengthen our food production and food security. Therefore, agriculture needs to adapt to climate change to prevent negative effects but also to utilize the p
The common way in which algal virus-host systems are discovered is when an algal culture collapses due to the virus-induced lysis. Therefore, the presence of a viral infection in a seemingly healthy culture of Chlamydomonas sp. is an oddity. This study describes such an infection in an algal sample from Örsjön, a lake in southern Sweden, sustained in culture for over six years with no observed adv

As the amount of high dimensional data becomes increasingly accessible and common, the need for reliable methods to combat problems such as overfitting and multicollinearity increases. Models need to be able to manage large data sets where predictor variables often outnumber the amount of observations. In this study the frequentist and Bayesian framework is tested against each other based on three
Cultural institutions such as museums and art galleries are important agents in educating the broader public on matters where current awareness is missing, inadequate or inaccurate. In this study, I focus on one such matter, which is the knowledge regarding ethnic minorities, their history, traditions, and current challenges. My primary focus is on how cultural institutions utilise their exhibitio
The study aimed to explore users' experiences of behavioral activation therapy (BAT) in the context of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Behavioral activation therapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes engaging in meaningful activities to counteract depression and improve overall well-being. The study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with eight participants aged betwee
I uppsatsen undersöks lagregleringen om överskottsinformation vid användning av hemliga tvångsmedel i rättegångsbalken. Överskottsinformation är information som har med annat att göra än den utredning den hemliga tvångsåtgärden användes för. Lagändringen år 2023 innebär att informationen uttryckligen får användas för ”andra ändamål” än den ursprungliga utredningen vilket kan avse brott eller helt The essay examines the legal regulation on excess information when using secret measures of surveillance in the Code of Judicial Procedure . Excess information is information that pertains to matters other than the investigation for which the secret measure of surveillance was used. The 2023 legislative amendment explicitly allows the information to be used for “other purposes” than the original i
When automating data analysis or broadcasts in association football, a key piece of information is the position of the football. Locating the ball is often easier said than done since there are many scenarios where the ball is hard or even impossible to detect accurately using object detection methods. This thesis explores a different approach to determining the ball's position. Since the play
To properly understand regions of space behind interstellar dust, like the Galactic bulge, infrared (IR) observations are needed, as it passes through the dust with minimal absorption. In the past few decades, the development of IR telescopes has allowed for a much deeper understanding of our Galaxy’s stellar populations and history. To properly use the data which these IR telescopes produce howev
Nearly all multicellular organisms reproduce sexually, whereas asexual reproduction is predominant in unicellular species. However, it is unclear why we see such a tight co-occurrence between multicellularity and sex. Here, we investigate the effect sexual reproduction has on the evolution of multicellularity in the green algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, specifically on the variation and novel ph
