A path for reflecting on the importance of taking care of our planet

This thesis investigates the detection of acute heart failure (AHF) in an exvivo heart perfusion system using hemodynamic signals. Early detection of AHF is important for improving monitoring and intervention. Experimental data was pre-processed and transformed into a beat-to-beat representation, from which physiological features were extracted. Events were labeled based on manual reductions in pu

Detta kandidatarbete undersöker transformationen av den historiska Marieholms Yllefabrik till ett modernt kontorshotell. Syftet är att genom arkitektonisk återanvändning väcka liv i ett industriarv som stått sysslolöst sedan 2002 och därmed bidra till lokal vitalisering och hållbarhet.Visionen fokuserar på mötet mellan gammalt och nytt, där fabrikens befintliga betongstruktur och tegelfasader beva

This paper compares neologism formation in five Indigenous languages of Northeastern Brazil that are currently undergoing revitalization or post-dormancy recovery. With a focus on the coining of nouns and numerals, the study categorizes neologisms according to morphological (e.g. compounding, derivation, borrowing) and semantic processes (e.g. extension) and assesses their distribution of these ac

Following the outbreak of new media technologies, researchers in museum studies have acknowledged the increasing importance of digital content creation for museums. Today, Social Media provides museums with the opportunity to engage with their audiences beyond museum walls and pursue their organizational mission in innovative ways. Despite a growing interest in the organizational changes that make

The average build year for existing multi-family buildings in Sweden is1959, circa 95 % of building built before 1960 uses natural ventilation and circa 45 % of these have failed the obligatory ventilation control that exists in Sweden. In the EU buildings stand for 30 % of the total energy usage and the aim is to get buildings to a near zero energy building. The aim of this thesis is therefore to

This thesis discusses the development of Product Category Rule (PCR) for semiconductor Back-End (BE) processes. While Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) are common practice in the industry, there is currently no PCR specifically for BE processes, which creates inconsistent reporting of emissions. This thesis provides a meta-analysis of allocation methodologies for semiconductor packaging. The meta-analys

When there is a statement of deficiency given to a nursing home, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires facilities to submit a plan of correction stating how they will create systemic change to prevent recurrence of the incident. This study reviewed 90 statements of deficiency and associated plans of correction from across the United States for abuse, neglect, and exploita

As snow leopards (Panthera uncia) are vulnerable in the wild, individuals in captivity function as a backup for the wild population. However, space limitations make it difficult to keep the captive population healthy. To maintain high genetic diversity in the captive population, it is important to carefully consider breeding recommendations and the use of contraception. This study examined age-rel

Trichoderma are fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, representing an ecological topic for pest management. It offers a sustainable alternative to agrochemicals through biostimulation and biocontrol. However, the host plant needs to effectively manage a trade-off : using Trichoderma as a defense mechanism while not getting damaged by its cytotoxic compounds, like the antibiotic

Air traffic control (ATC) is a safety-critical activity in which practitioners must continuously navigate uncertainty, trade-offs, and operational variability. In such environments, resilience emerges not from strict adherence to procedures alone but from the adaptive strategies that air traffic controllers employ to sustain safe performance. One striking property of air traffic control is that co

Märta Måås-Fjetterström’s textile career was largely based on a collective effort. As a textile artist in her own workshop, she drew patterns that she let employed weavers weave. Together with a few other artists, she helped elevate the craft – the carpet – to the realm of art, by signing her works early on. After Märta Måås-Fjetterström’s death, Barbro Nilsson took over the role as artistic direc

Utmaningen för många kommuner med att skapa naturvårdsplaner är brister på resurser och tillgängligt underlag. Att ha en modell som kan uppskatta potentialen för naturvärden hade hjälpt kommunerna att fokusera sina resurser. I den här studien tas en sådan modell fram i Lilla Edets kommun med hjälp av MKA (Multikriterieanalays) i GIS genom att använda data som är tillgängligt för kommuner. ModellenThe challenge of nature conservation for municipalities usually revolves around limited resources and available data. A method that could predict the potential for nature values in different areas would help municipalities focus the available resources they have where they are most needed. In this study, such a model has been developed and tested for Lilla Edet municipality using MCA (Multi-criter

Bygg och fastighetssektorn stod för 22,1% av Sveriges totala växthusutsläpp år 2022 där tillverkning av byggmaterial och utvinning av fossila bränslen stod för en stor del av utsläppen. Samtidigt står Sverige inför ett nationellt klimatmål att bli klimatneutrala till år 2045. Därför krävs det lösningar och åtgärder i byggprocessen för att reducera utsläppen och därefter nå målet om nettonolluts

This study examines whether the canonical stochastic volatility (SV) model outperforms the standard GARCH(1,1) model across different market regimes, and whether relatively simple hybrid LSTM extensions improve forecasting accuracy. Using daily data from the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and FTSE 100 indices, volatility forecasts are evaluated on the stressed exogenous COVID-19 crisis, as well as a calm

This thesis examines how consolation is expressed in the Finnish devotional writings of field chaplain Carolus Olai Pictorius during the Swedish campaign in Livonia in 1622. These texts were written for Finnish soldiers in the Swedish army, many of whom remained in Riga as part of the garrison after the city's capture. The study aims to analyse how language, theology, and pastoral care relate
