Diabetes mellitus is growing at epidemic proportions worldwide; currently 415 million adults are estimated to have diabetes and by 2040, this number is estimated to increase to 642 million. As a consequence, the prevalence of diabetes-related complications is bound to increase. Diabetic foot disorders are common throughout the world, resulting in major medical, social and economic consequences for

We report the discovery of two transiting planets orbiting K2-290 (EPIC 249624646), a bright (V = 11.11) late F-type star residing in a triple-star system. It was observed during Campaign 15 of the K2 mission, and in order to confirm and characterize the system, follow-up spectroscopy and AO imaging were carried out using the FIES, HARPS, HARPS-N, and IRCS instruments. From AO imaging and Gaia dat

The rationale was to longitudinally follow-up interviews performed with heart recipients at their one-year examination in order to deepen the understanding of the meaning of surviving a heart transplant. The aim was to explore the meaning of surviving three years after a heart transplant compared to one year and to identify what constitutes the change process. A phenomenological–hermeneutic method

Domain-continuous visibility determination algorithms have proved to be very efficient at reducing noise otherwise prevalent in stochastic sampling. Even though they come with an increased overhead in terms of geometrical tests and visibility information management, their analytical nature provides such a rich integral that the pay-off is often worth it. This paper presents a time-continuous, prim

At the Children’s Heart Center of Skåne University Hospital (BUS) there is an ongoing project with live recordings of open heart surgeries. These recordings will be used for educational purposes, for planning of future surgeries, as well as for evaluating the surgical procedures. Currently, the recordings are made using two cameras that are positioned above the operating table on a temporary mount

Homelessness is one of the crudest manifestations of poverty, and addressing homelessness is thus always urgent. Discourse affects our perception, knowledge and, in the end, policymaking, and hence the perception of what the causes to homelessness are, affect what strategies and policies that are implemented. There has since long been a split in perception on whether homelessness is a result of th

This essay explores the ethical dilemma surrounding the construction of green mines on indigenous lands and seeks to determine whether such actions can be justified. The aim is to show that a prioritisation between two seemingly good things is not always a given. Using a normative study framework, the research investigates a conflict of value between different interpretations of the value of the G

Despite the fact of being considered as one of the safest regions in the world, the EU reports a wide number of cases of human trafficking every year in its Member States. Moreover, free movement of persons that EU membership grants makes it easier for human trafficking criminals to transport and exploit victims within Member States. The country that has shown by far to have the largest number of

Bart Streumer utilizes the principle “R: We do not have reasons to do what we cannot do” in order to justify that ‘ought’ implies ‘can’. This thesis questions Streumer’s assumption and instead argues that we have reasons to do what is psychologically-, physically and maybe even metaphysically impossible but not conceptually or logically impossible. As is shown in the thesis we do not have reasons

Signal is a very important part of the railway. If you place a signal or a different object which is also important in the wrong place, can mean increased safety risks. To ease the work of the consultants in the creation of operational site drawings, the aim is to develop an action plan for the creation of a database, which in turn will be used to create a tool that can be used to automate the pro

Business intelligence and analytics (BI&A) have become part of almost every com- pany/organisation nowadays, as the benefits of a successful adoption are many. However, the failure scenarios are many as well, with companies/organisations facing dissatisfied employ- ees who do not use the BI&A tools because they find them difficult to use -despite the train- ings-, and others who start usin

Du lyssnade säkert på Johan Rockströms sommarprat förra året. Hans radioprogram vände upp och ner på de flestas uppfattning om klimatkrisen. I samband med klimattoppmötet i Paris tog klimatet och miljön upp mycket plats i media. Vilket inte bara är bra, utan fantastiskt. Att kunskap om vad vi gör med vår planet sprids något av det viktigaste vi har att jobba med för tillfället. Med min studie påviOur planet is facing the largest loss of biodiversity since the extinction of dinosaurs (Chiante, 2016). This great loss will affect our ecosystems which in turn means that humankind and our needs are affected. It is therefore important to know what factors affect the allocation of resources between species. In the future this will decide how the conservation work for different species will turn o

This study begins in the understanding of sustainable development as a complex matter open for interpretation, and continues in the notion that different dimensions of sustainability create different values that have different goals; meaning that they will sometimes unite, and sometimes collide and lead to trade-offs. The aim for this study is to add to the understanding of this matter through an

Den 1 januari 2020 inkorporerades barnkonventionen till svensk lag. Inkorporeringens bakomliggande syfte ska ha varit att beslutsfattare nu ska ta barnets bästa i större beaktning än vad som tidigare har gjorts. Ett område där barnets bästa har en stor betydelse är beslutsfattande inom LVU. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur beslutsfattandet inom LVU förhåller sig till barnets bästa. I LVU liggerOn the 1st of January 2020, the UN convention on the Rights of the Child was incorporated into Swedish law. The purpose of the incorporation was to make the decision maker officers take the best interest of the child in a bigger consideration than they have done before. One area where the best interest of the child has a big meaning is within the law (1990:52) with special regulation regarding the
