Syftet med studien är att undersöka om insulinpumpsbehandling (CSII) är kostnadseffektiv i jämförelse med intensiv injektionsbehandling (MDI) vid diabetes typ-1 enligt svenska riktlinjer. Förhoppningen är att undersökningen ska inspirera framtida studier samt bidra med kunskap inom aktuellt område. Den tidigare hälsoekonomiska forskning som ligger till grund för denna studie jämför CSII med MDI g
Exponering för naturliga element och miljöer har utifrån Attention Restoration Theory (Kaplan & Kaplan, 1989) visat sig ha positiva effekter på upplevd återhämtning av förmågan till riktad uppmärksamhet. Tidigare forskning har däremot i liten utsträckning undersökt om och i så fall hur denna effekt påverkas när en miljö innehåller information från olika typer av miljöer. Ett experiment med upp

This thesis will examine the plausibility of exchanging protocol from a normal server-client to a peer-to-peer solution for over-the-air updates, using a single case study for Sony Mobile Communications AB in Lund, Sweden. It will examine the effort, the risks, and what the actual gain may be comparing to a client-server approach for over-the-air software updates. Sony Mobile today uses a content
Kenya’s rapid, unplanned urban development and rising pressure for cities to adapt to climate change and become more climate change resilient has led to the realisation that more needs to be done.

Samkönade äktenskap har sedan början av 2000-talet blivit tillåtna i stora delar av Europa. Utvecklingen har däremot inte spridits jämnt över alla Europas länder och det finns heller inte en rätt för samkönade par att gifta sig enligt Europakonventionen. I fallet Schalk and Kopf v. Austria år 2010 kom Europadomstolen fram till att det, för närvarande, var upp till Europakonventionens medlemsstaterSince the beginning of the 2000s, same-sex marriage has been legalised in much of Europe. The expansion, however, has not been evenly distributed among European countries and a right for same-sex couples to marry has also not been recognized under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In the case of Schalk and Kopf v. Austria in 2010 the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) came to the

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death. Much benefit can be found in national screening programs to diagnose cancer early and reduce mortality and such is about to be introduced in Germany. However, the process of screening diagnosis is very time-intensive for radiologists and the workload is not feasible without further support. Artificial Intelligence was assessed to be able to supp
