The purpose of this report is to map how HTA, Health Technology Assessment, is being used for MDD products for inpatient care in Sweden. Swedish Medtech, a professional association for medical technology companies, has a need to carry out a survey about the use of HTA in Sweden for their future work. They have a project which goal is to inform policy makers about the value of innovative medical pr
The legal framework in Kenya today is akin to a ‘right-angled triangle’ with the African Traditional Society as the hypotenuse, the Islamic law as the adjacent side and the English law as the opposite side. These ‘Pythagorean’ triples have informed both the Kenyan Family law history and practice. Kadhis’ Courts applying Islamic law of personal status have been in East Africa for over 200 years now
Den här kandidatuppsatsen har genom en kvalitativ kritisk textanalytisk studie undersökt hur Lunds universitet utformar och anpassar sin guide för sociala medier för att skapa en enhetlig förståelse kring kommunikation av myndigheten i sociala medier. Guiden för sociala medier är ett internetbaserat dokument som publiceras i wikiformat, vilket gör den till ett levande dokument då den ständigt kan
Diffuse reflectance Spectroscopy is a non-invasive and real-time technique used both in research and clinical studies for purposes such as identifying tumors and monitoring their response to therapy. Here, a compact, cost-effective and portable experimental setup is used in order to acquire the diffuse reflectance spectra from tissue-like liquid phantoms. Two fiber optic probes with different sour
The Swedish school has a democratic mandate to prepare students for life in a society where many important decisions need to be made which require an ability to critically examine and evaluate different arguments. This applies particularly to climate change that will bring changes at all levels of society. Textbooks are important for the education provided in schools as they often define the topic
This thesis presents the prototype of a search for new phenomena that decay in two jets, in presence of an associated jet (three-jet or trijet final state). Mass combination studies are carried out to reconstruct dijet resonances in different mass regions. The two models of interest are the composite quark, which contains a composite quark resonance Q, and the simplified dark matter mediator mod
The aim of this Master's Thesis was to develop a standard for structural testing of implants to be used in transfemoral osseointegrated prostheses, since there is a lack of such standards for this type of implant. The methods used in this project include a literature study, a review of ISO standards, simulations of gait in a software called OpenSim, and a comparison of the OpenSim results with
The degree project described in this report also acts as a deliverable for a research project. The research project focuses on a new technique for the upgrading of biogas. This new technology uses a sterically hindered amine to absorb carbon dioxide from the biogas to raise its energy value. The amine used for this method is 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol or AMP. When absorb-ing carbon dioxide with t
Digitalization is changing the conventional face of business, posing ethical questions with regards to how businesses create, collect, use, and store data as part of their everyday business activities. Moreover, because of the pervasiveness of data technologies and unpredictability of their effects on society at large, the complex network of stakeholders affected by data handling is increasing exp
As we’re living in a modern society, most of us have been connected to the water and electricity grid, However, there’re still billions of people who are still lack of reliable water and electricity resource. In some developing countries like India and Philippines, the demand for electricity and water are far more than actual production, which causes frequent electricity and water shortage problem
Since their emergence in the 1950’s, ice cores have ventured from being scientific objects of concern to a limited number of glaciologists to becoming one of the most iconic representations of anthropogenic climate change. This thesis aims to historicize the way in which ice cores became enrolled into climate discourse, particularly emphasizing the production and representation of temporalities of
Problem - Skanska Industrial Solutions AB lays asphalt over a wide geographical area, and never in the same place and is also a work that is dependent on the weather. Asphalt is a product with low to no capacity to be stored. These factors contribute to a distribution that has the necessity to follow the JIT-principles. The asphalt production is in of a steady flow of asphalt being transported fro
En allt mer konkurrensinriktad marknad har ökat behovet för företag att fokusera på sin kärnkompetens. Givet denna utveckling har större nätverk med fler involverade parter vuxit fram, vilket lett till att fler företag börjat vända sig till en fjärde part. Fjärdepartslogistik innefattar en komplex integrering av försörjningskedjans alla komponenter och ett för kunden större överlåtande av sin verk
Cross-functional teams and meetings are recurrent structuring tools in contemporary knowledge organisations. They are recommended as solutions to enhance innovation and creativity. Current research gathers a myriad of reference to the benefits of such tools, but studies of their potential negative effects remain limited. This paper is specifically concerned with the effect of interdisciplinary tea
The purpose of the report is to study the yellow cycle route in the city of Lund and investigate the inadequacies that could be found on today's route. The yellow cycle route goes from Dalby in the south to Gunnesbo in the north. The method used to answer the questions of this report is literature study and a technical inventory. The analysis of the studied route is based on Lund’s cycle strat
Value at Risk (VaR) is a popular measurement for valuing the risk exposure. Correct estimates of VaR are essential in order to properly be able to monitor the risk. This thesis examines a copula approach for estimating VaR for portfolios of commodities. The predictions are made from a semi- parametric model with Monte Carlo methods. The underlying model is constructed by choosing the best fit from
The many-body problem in quantum mechanics always presents new challenges and ways to discover new properties of existing materials. The difficulty (if not the impossibility) to solve the many-body problem analytically makes the numerical methods an appealing approach. Here we consider a Python code, which is under development to become an open-source tool to perform studies of finite lattice syst
Inflammation and subsequent endothelial dysfunction are main players in the vascular component of hypertension, and recent findings points to a key role of Sphingosine- 1-Phosphate and its signaling pathways in its pathophysiology. In neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension is the main modifiable risk factor, but insights regarding S1P receptor modulation in response
The Norra Sorgenfri project is one of Malmö's largest urban renewal projects with the vision that the old industrial area will become an integral part of the inner city. The aim of this research is to investigate how Malmö Municipality tries to change the place identity of Norra Sorgenfri through its vision and at whose expense. The theoretical framework is based on previous research on entrep
Klimatförändringar påverkar oss alla globalt men det är missvisande att tro att det drabbar oss alla jämlikt. Denna uppsats argumenterar för att genom att inte skapa ett internationellt regelverk faller bördan orättvist tungt på vissa stater att ta hand om konsekvenserna av klimatförändringar. I uppsatsen kommer jag undersöka argument för ett internationellt ansvar av klimatflyktingar runt de tre
