In this project, I start by addressing the issue of the creativity decrease that happen within children when they start school. I wanted to emphasize the importance of creative play to develop problem-solving skills. After I ran some user tests, my project took a new turn and instead I started designing a board game for an older target group. The aim of the game is to improve the visual comm
The many cases of malignant melanoma and the following relapses after standard-of-care treatment demands inventions on finding new treatment to this cancer disease. One of the reasons for reduced clinical response in melanoma is the downregulation of tumor specific antigens which results in decreased tumor recognition, followed by tumor escape and progression. This study investigated the potential
Transports, and transport infrastructures enable and deliver vital societal functions in today’s society. At the same time, as sustainability becomes more and more important these sectors fail to enable the rate of change that international and national policies calls for. The electrification of the transport sector is a key driver of the future’s sustainable transport system, and the number of el
Previous research has shown that intermediate-advanced L2 learners of Swedish with a non-tonal L1 can use word accents to predict the upcoming suffix as L1 Swedish speakers do. This was also the case of low-intermediate L2 learners who produced word accents after being instructed on the Swedish prosodic system. On the contrary, previous findings on L2 Swedish learners with a tonal L1 exhibited no
The project aims to learn about Chinese young people's choices and attitudes towards cooking and solve their problems in cooking. The solution is presented in the form of a product --- a multifunctional electrothermal cooking appliance. The traditional Chinese saying "Food is god for the people" shows the importance of diet in Chinese life. But today, more and more Chinese young peo
We live in a society where online shopping is becoming the most common form of shopping. Companies are investing and growing their online market by offering cheap and quick deliveries, online offers that beat in-store prices and increasing the number of package pick-up locations. We live a faster-paced lifestyle, which makes online shopping more convenient for us. The rapid change in our shopping
It has been shown that pollinators mediate selection on floral traits of food-deceptive orchids. However, few studies have disentangled the mechanisms linking floral traits to performance and fitness, providing an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the process of natural selection. In this project, we studied trait-performance-fitness relationships on three food-deceptive Dactylorhiza o
Functional Data Analysis (FDA) is a field that has been growing rapidly over the last few decades, with much ongoing research and many recent publications. The focus for Functional Data Analysis is the study of so called functional data, that is data that is assumed to have been generated from a true, underlying function, where we can only observe a sequence of measurements. We propose a method t
Through semi-structured interviews conducted with representatives of three different NGOs located in The Gambia, this qualitative study explores how practices and activities in the organisations improve educational opportunities for girls in the country. The study identifies specific societal challenges that the NGOs try to remedy with their work, and what the focus is in their capacity building.
Bakgrund: Vårdbehovet och den alkoholrelaterade dödligheten ökar för varje år bland personer 65 år och äldre. Kraven kommer bli större i hemsjukvården att tillgodose god vård och omsorg för patientgruppen. Distriktssköterskor upplevde i tidigare studier bristande kunskaper och stöd i att hantera äldre med alkoholmissbruk i hemsjukvården och det efterfrågades mer forskning inom området. Syfte: Sy
Assessing the risk of future femur fracture is an important step in preventing this serious and common injury. The current methods to predict the fracture risk are typically based on bone mineral density measurement, used as a surrogate for femoral strength. An alternative to this which has been shown to give more accurate information on the strength of a femur is subject specific finite element a
This project is an exploration of how to create a foldable bicycle made of paper. The decision to develop a foldable, sustainable and hopefully affordable, paper bicycle came from frustrating experiences with several heavy and bulky foldable bicycles on the market. Paper as a material was chosen with the help from a Paper Cellulose expert named Heikki Sojjaka. Form and function exploration with sk
Bakgrund: Brister i informationsöverföring i vårdens övergångar utgör en stor risk. När en patient skrivs ut från slutenvården i Region Skåne för vidare vård i hemmet sker informationsutbytet via IT-stödet Mina planer. För att distriktssköterskorna i hemsjukvården ska kunna ge en säker vård är de helt beroende av att informationsöverföringen och kommunikationen fungerar optimalt med slutenvården.
In a new modern building or a newly decorated public space, today’s surveillance cameras can sometimes be perceived as poorly adapted from an architectural point of view. For specific cases where e.g. architect, interior designer, or client must choose a monitoring solution, it must be possible to offer a more flexible solution that can be applied in many different rooms and environments at the sa
This study looks at factors contributing to LA-MRSA prevalence in Danish pig farms. LA-MRSA is a pathogenic bacteria that are resistant to methicillin (penicillin) and tetracycline antibiotics found in livestock such as pigs, poultry and cattle. By using logistic regression analysis, this study investigates which factors that might have increased the likelihood of having a positive LA-MRSA result
Medans världens fossila bränslereserver sinar har utvinningen av fossilgas genom hydraulisk spräckning, allmänt känt som fracking, vunnit mark internationellt. Parallellt med detta uppenbarar sig klimatförändringarnas katastrofala effekter och tiden är knapp för att ställa om global energiproduktion innan medeltemperaturen når så kallade ”tipping points”. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utforska d
Avancerad palliativ vård blir allt vanligare att bedriva i hemmet då fler svårt sjuka människor väljer att vårdas hemma i livets slut. Många studier beskriver vilka komponenter som ska ingå för att den palliativa vården ska anses vara av hög kvalitet. Det behövs dock mer kunskap om vilka aktiviteter som pågår under vårdrelaterade möten i hemmet och vilken inverkan dessa kan ha på vårdrelationen. S
