Human obesity is a global epidemic, which causes a rapidly increased frequency of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. One reason for obesity is the ready availability of refined food products with high caloric density, an evolutionarily new event, which makes over-consumption of food inevitable. Fat is a food product with high caloric density. The mechanism for regulation of fat intake has theref

Purpose: To investigate the measures of validity for selective or population screening of the time-domain Stratus and the spectral-domain Cirrus Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging techniques in a population-based sample and in clinical glaucoma patients at different stages of glaucoma. Patients and methods: A random sample of 307 subjects living in two rural areas in southern Sweden, and a

Region Skåne has designated seven regional centers in Skåne: Malmö, Lund, Helsingborg, Landskrona, Hässleholm, Kristianstad and Ystad. These centers are to be, among other things, providers of key services. The aim of this thesis is to examine whether Skåne’s students have equal opportunity, through public transport, to benefit from the regional centers’ provision of gymnasiumlevel education. This

Memory integration is how series of similar memories can merge into overlapping representations as one abstract model of behavior to anticipate present and future episodes – facilitating instrumental use of episodic experience for higher-order inferences. Previous research has showed that a novel memory of reward can travel backwards in time through episodic memory and generalize its contents to p

I anslutning till 2015 års flyktingvåg uppenbarades oklarheter i rättsläget med avseende på det svenska rättssystemets tillhandahållande av ställföreträdare för ensamkommande barn. Personer som är under 18 år betraktas enligt svensk rätt som omyndiga vilket innebär att barn saknar förmåga att med rättsligt bindande verkan fatta beslut i personliga angelägenheter och råda över sin egendom. EnsamkomIn 2015 Sweden received an unexpected number of refugees which revealed several flaws within the domestic regulations regarding representation of unaccompanied children. According to swedish legislation persons under the age of 18 lack the legal capacity to make decisions in personal and financial matters. Unaccompanied children who arrive in Sweden require a guardian who can look after the child’

Inspirationen till förevarande arbete kommer från de EU-rättsliga organens ambivalens kring det förestående direktivförslaget, ”Förslag till Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv om upphovsrätt på den digitala inre marknaden” som röstades igenom i EU-parlamentet i september 2018. Direktivförslaget innehåller en artikel som reglerar ansvaret för stora plattformsleverantörer som lagrar och tillgängThe inspiration to this study was brought on by the indecisiveness in EU agencies in regards of the legal proposal, “Proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on copyright in the Digital Single Market” that was voted through in the EU-parliament in September 2018. The proposal includes an article, article 13, that aims to regulate the responsibility of the providers of

As reference a more common statistical prediction method, namely the generalized linear model, is applied to compare the results of the machine learning methods. Six different machine learning methods are investigated. These methods are explained in detail and used to predict hit rates within insurance customers. To further

The aim of this thesis is to examine how the production and consumption of milk in the modern and post-modern Swedish society can be said to reflect general cultural and societal development. Focus is put on how it is affected by notions of the cartesian dichotomy between nature and culture. This is achieved using literature drawing on several disciplines relevant to the interdisciplinary field of

Due to the restrictions of the corona pandemic the counsellors at the Swedish Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Services had to suddenly transition to online counselling. The purpose of this study was therefore to examine how social workers, i.e. psychiatry counsellors, describe and experience online counselling and the impact it has on the interaction. The method chosen in this study was qualitati

Cancer kan drabba vem som helst och kan ha sitt ursprung i många olika områden i kroppen. Antalet nya cancerfall ökar varje år, men vissa typer av cancer har bättre prognos än andra. Den vanligaste cancertypen i Sverige är prostatacancer och den drabbar framför allt äldre män. Prostatacancer har god prognos och det finns effektiva metoder att helt bota prostat- acancer om den behandlas i ett tidigPurpose: Recent developments in external radiotherapy and its utilization with artificial in- telligence (AI) enables advanced treatment plans for a range of different disease sites. By adapting to the anatomy of the day, target coverage can be ensured while sparing more healthy tissue. The purpose of this project was to study the feasibility and benefits of daily cone beam computed tomography (CB

I det svenska straffrättsliga systemet finns en lång tradition av att särbehandla unga lagöverträdare. Den vedertagna ideologiska uppfattning som ligger till grund för särregleringen framhåller att unga har en outvecklad ansvarsförmåga, att de besitter en ökad sanktionskänslighet samt att samhället bör visa tolerans för den unges mognadsprocess. För de yngsta lagöverträdarna måste även hänsyn tas In the Swedish criminal justice system, there is a long tradition of treating young offenders differently than adults. The accepted ideological view that underlies the special regulation emphasizes that young people have an undeveloped capacity for responsibility, that they have a greater sensitivity to punishment and that society should show tolerance for the young person's maturation process

Det finns ingen offentligrättsligt reglerad möjlighet att tvångsadoptera ett familjehemsplacerat barn i Sverige. Den mest ingripande åtgärden som offentliga myndigheter och organ kan vidta inom ramen för lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga är en vårdnadsöverflyttning från barnets biologiska föräldrar till familjehemsföräldrarna. I fråga om tvångsvård av barn är den civilrättslThere is no legal possibility to forcibly adopt a child who has been placed in a foster home in accordance with public law in Sweden. The most intru-sive measure that public authorities can take within the framework of The Care of Young Persons Act is a transfer of legal custody from the child's biological parents to the foster parents. The civil law regulation in the Pa-rental Code is intende

Påtryckningarna för en mer hållbar och miljövänlig transport har aldrig varit lika hög som den är i dag. Efterfrågan kommer troligen att fortsätta öka i takt med att kunskapen om klimatförändringar fortsätter att öka och när förväntningarna, om mildrings- och anpassningsåtgärder, intensifieras. En sektor som är i stort behov av att vidta mer begränsningar och anpassningsåtgärder är transportsektorThe urge for more sustainable and environmental-friendly transportation has never been as high as it is today. The demand will probably continue to increase as the knowledge about climate change continues to widen and as the expectations, of mitigation and adaptation measures, intensifies. One sector that is in great need of taking more mitigation and adaptation measures is the transport sector. T

Databehandling av signaler från millimetervågsradar i realtid Radarsensorer som använder millimetervågor är väldigt användbara inom avkänningsteknik, som har tillämpningar inom bland annat sjukvården, autonoma robotar, osv. Detta examensarbete bygger vidare på en genomförbarhetsstudie som med positiva resultat undersökte om det var möjligt att med hjälp av elektronik och algoritmer förhindra fallBased on the feasibility study [4], the goal of this master thesis is to compile custom firmware for the XM112 Pulsed Coherent Radar Module, which features a state of the art radar sensor integrated with a microcontroller unit (MCU). This allows the use of custom firmware to check the plausibility of real-time data processing on the radar signals and will lay some of the groundwork for further dev

At present, in potato starch industries, not only starch is extracted from the process but even proteins and fibers are recovered as they are economically valuable. Unfortunately, the process used for protein recovery can only partially recover protein from the potato fruit juice (PJ), while the reaming PJ is concentrated using an evaporator and is later on used as fertilizers. Potato starch indus

Wireless communication nowadays is playing a vital role in real-life data transmission. This communication can be machine-to-machine or human to machine communication. In each of these categories, reliability and low latency data transmission are critical factors of success transmission in case the number of devices in a certain area increases. In this thesis, I mainly investigate on smart manufac
