Det finns många olika utformningar av lyfthjälpmedel och hjälpmedel för att gå, så som patient lyftar och rullatorer, men det finns inte många lösningar som kan göra båda. Detta examensarbete är baserat på en person med fysisk funktionsnedsättning som har specifika behov för vilka det inte fanns någon anpassad lösning. Målet var att utveckla en produkt som kan lyfta användaren från sittandes till There exist many different designs of lifting aids and walking aids, but barely any solutions that can do both. This thesis is based on a person with mobility impairment with specific needs for which there were yet no adapted solution. The goal was to design a product that can lift the user from sitting to standing position and then be a walking aid by supporting the user by the armpits, all this

This master thesis investigates how to perform irrational decimation, the process of reducing the sample rate of a signal, for high throughput systems. The thesis work consists both an algorithmic part and an implementation part. In the algorithmic part, an algorithm that could cope with the requirements is found, and investigated due to different aspects. A group of filters that are investigate

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva och analysera vilka resurser olika typer av nya företag efterfrågar i startprocessen, samt vilka av dessa resurser en universitetsinkubator erbjuder dessa företag.

I vårdnad, boende och umgängesmål ska domstolen ta hänsyn till barnets vilja, som ett led i bedömningen av barnets bästa. Bedömningen försvåras dock ibland av att barn uttrycker sig på ett sätt som egentligen inte representerar deras verkliga vilja. Vad de uttrycker är istället ett resultat av påverkan från en förälder. Att barn i viss mån påverkas av sina föräldrar när de separerar är oundvikligtIn court cases concerning custody, residence and the child’s visitation rights to a parent, an assessment of what lies in the best interest of the child is made.

Today, heat and electricity production are two main sources of greenhouse gas emissions. A big share of the overall energy consumption is used to provide buildings with heating and cooling. Smart-energy solutions of heating and cooling could therefore be a more sustainable solution contributing to the green transition of the energy system. ectogrid™ is a new generation of a cooperative heating and

Procedural generation as a concept is as old as computer graphics. It is usually defined as a method for creating data algorithmically as opposed to manually. Work in this area often revolves around noise functions and large degrees of randomness, which works well for chaotic structures and for generating natural environments, but it does not always suit more sophisticated and coherent environment

Sedan ikraftträdandet av jurisdiktionen för den internationella brottmålsdomstolen (ICC) har endast medborgare i afrikanska stater prövats av domstolen.

To have an efficient and effective supply chain, it is cruc

Background: Non-β-hemolytic streptococci (NBHS) cause blood stream infections (BSI) which can be complicated by infective endocarditis (IE). To stratify the risk for IE in NBHS BSI and to guide the use of echocardiography in this condition, two risk stratification systems (RSSs), the HANDOC score (HANDOC), and the Chamat-Hedemand algorithm (CH-A) have been developed.Objectives: To compare the sens

Background and hypothesis: KDIGO recommends proteinuria <1 g/d as a treatment target in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) because of high risk of progression to kidney failure. However, long-term kidney outcomes in patients with low-grade proteinuria remain insufficiently studied. Methods: We enrolled patients with biopsy-proven primary IgAN from the Swedish Renal Registry and anal
