The aim of this study was to investigate gender differences in ABR between young females and young males with ADHD, compared to control subjects. Method: We studied 63 females with ADHD (mean 13.8 years), 26 female controls (mean 13.8years), 48 males with ADHD (mean 13.1 years), and 20 male controls

Skåne kan ha dubbelt så höga utsläpp av växthusgaser. Ett nytt examensarbete visar att länet har mycket högre utsläpp än tidigare rapporterat. Beroende på hur man räknar verkar utsläppen dessutom inte minskat som man tidigare har rapporterat. Det kan finnas en risk att rapporterade utsläppen sjunker medan de indirekta utsläppen som inte rapporteras istället ökar. Denna risk bygger på att vi säljeThis report will analyse an emission monitoring strategy for Skåne in Sweden, as anthropogenic global warming will have a significant environmental impact on the society. Sweden has a great potential for lowering greenhouse gas emissions as a nation. The monitoring of greenhouse emissions within Sweden shows that the trend is slowly coming down. However, new methodologies of monitoring show that c

Att sälja sin bostad hör till en av livets största affärer. Ett viktigt moment är att bestämma ett utgångspris för sin bostad, men det råder oklarheter kring vilken inverkan utgångspriser har på utfallet i en försäljning. Studien ”List prices in Icelandic residential property sales – A strategic tool for achieving higher sales prices or quicker time-on-market?” tar sikte på Islands bostadsmarknad,In recent years, Iceland has experienced a growing demand for residential housing and the average square-meter price for apartments and single-family homes in the Capital Region has almost doubled between 2010 and 2019. Property sales in Iceland are most commonly intermediated by real estate brokers and the sales process stands in contrast to other Nordic countries, since it involves a bidding pro

Utveckling av algoritm som avgör filterstatusen hos dialysmaskiner Många människor världen över dör för att de inte har råd med dialysbehandling. För att minska kostnaderna har det i detta exjobb utvecklats en algoritm som kan användas i en framtida serviceindikator för filter i dialysmaskiner. Resultaten ser lovande ut. Kronisk njursjukdom beskriver ett tillstånd av progressivt förlorad njurfunDialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for many people around the world. In or- der to meet the high demands on the dialysis machines, replaceable parts must be exchanged in proper time. Condition based maintenance (CBM) bases its service decisions on the actual health status of the component. The goal of this master’s thesis was to develop an algorithm based on machine learning, constituting the

I takt med den globala urbaniseringen växer städerna. I storstäderna finns en stor brist på obebyggd mark vilket leder till att städerna förtätas, något som medför nya risker när en större mängd människor befinner sig på en mindre yta. Att inkludera riskhantering i stadsbyggnadsprocessen är därför en av flera viktiga delar i utvecklingen av städerna. Processen för stadsbyggnad kan ses som en proceThe global urbanisation is causing cities to grow. A shortage of unused land in the metropolises, cause a concentration of the cities, presenting new risks as a bigger population occupy a small area. For this reason, including risk management in the urban planning process is one of many important factors in the development of cities. In order to ease the process of risk management and improve tra

How the architecture relates to the nature reflects our overall view of the environment. The built has the ability and posibility to enlighten and enhance the value of the nature, as well as it can do the opposite. In Norrbotten, between Jokkmokk and Gällivare, lies Muddus. Muddus is Swedens largest national park forest with an old-growth forest unaffected by the modern forest industry. Ravines cu

Det här examensarbetet undersöker hur blick, makt och arkitektur är sammanflätade. Utgångspunkten för projektet är en bok från 1903 skriven av den tyska dramatikern och författaren Frank Wedekind. Boken, "Mine-Haha eller om unga flickors kroppsliga uppfostran" och är en märklig allegorisk berättelse om en grupp flickor på en internatskola. På skolan tränas de till att ta kontroll över siThis thesis project investigates how gaze, power and architecture are entwined. The starting point for the project is a book from 1903, written by German writer and playwright Frank Wedekind. The novella, called "Mine-haha or On the bodily education of young girls" is a strange allegorical story about a group of girls going to a border school. At this school they learn to control their b

This study aims to examine how social construction of domestic violence can be shaped by claims-making and social interaction on internet forums. Using a qualitative approach the empirical data was collected in parallel with the theoretical framework. The data comprise eight different forum threads covering incidents of domestic violence discussed by forum users. The results show that the social c

With an increased importance of working capital management and supply chain risks, supply chain finance has gained an increasing interest from organizations across the world. A buyer-centric supply chain finance solution can create a ‘win-win’ situation for buyers and suppliers, by allowing buyers to extend payment terms and suppliers to get payments in advance. This allows both buyers and supplie

Numeriska implementeringar av GMRES-metoden för minimering av residualer: För att förstå exakt vad som händer när, till exempel, luft strömmar över en flygplansvinge eller när vatten flyter kring ett fartygsskrov, behövs omfattande datorberäkningar. Eftersom storheter som vindhastighet, lufttryck eller temperatur kan variera redan över små avstånd, måste beräkningarna göras i små steg, vilket kräThe generalized minimal residual method (GMRES) is an iterative method used to find numerical solutions to non-symmetric linear systems of equations. The method relies on constructing an orthonormal basis of the Krylov space and is thus vulnerable to an imperfect basis caused by computational errors. There have been attempts to address this issue by devising variations of the method that are less
