A robot should follow a given path as accurately as possible. There are however almost always deviations from the desired path, and when the deviations become too large it may be a problem. Some of the deviations stem from transmissions of the robot, and the deviations become more pronounced when there are process forces and gravitational forces present, that affect the transmissions. When positio
The development and expansion of artificial intelligence have significant potential to benefit humanity; however, the risks posed by AI-related tools have also become a growing concern over the past decade. From the standpoint of human rights violations AI-related bias, discriminatory practices, data protection practices and violations or potential infringements on fundamental rights are some of t
Background: Rat pups are born with an immature intestine adapted for the effective uptake of milk nutrients and with high permeability for bioactive molecules from the maternal milk until weaning. During weaning the immune system is activated after stimulation with e.g. dietary antigens, leading to an inflammatory response in the gut. This response is believed to be important for progress of gut m
Notwithstanding the increasing environmental awareness among consumers, researchers do not witness a substantial shift in consumption and disposal behaviour of textiles. Since research on disposal behaviour of home textile products is currently limited, it is relevant to explore consumers’ decision-making when handling no-longer-wanted home textiles. This thesis aims to better understand consumers
Efter aktiveringen av Internationella brottmålsdomstolens jurisdiktion över aggressionsbrottet i juli 2018 är dessa gärningar för första gången sedan Nürnbergtribunalen möjliga att väcka åtal för i en internationell domstol. Aggressionsbrottet kan bara begås av personer i position att effektivt utöva kontroll över eller styra politiska eller militära handlingar av en stat. Detta inkluderar, men inFollowing the activation of the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction over the crime of aggression in July 2018, these acts are for the first time since the Nuremberg Tribunal possible to prosecute before an international court. The crime of aggression may only be conducted by persons in a position effectively to exercise control over or direct the political or military action of a State. Th
Problem: Literature yields ambiguous results regarding the effectiveness of the business incubators’ role as network intermediaries, which is reflected in the varying networking behavior of entrepreneurs. Network expectations as a driver for the networking behavior of entrepreneurs have not been studied within this context and present a void in current literature. Purpose: This study seeks to exp
Title: The Carbon Impact of Component Production in China: Investigating the Impact of Carbon Border Adjustment Policies for a Global Manufacturing Company Authors: Fabian Bergman & Spiros Pavlidis Supervisor: Eva Berg, Lecturer at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University Examiner: Louise Bildsten, Associate Lecturer at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Enginee
Tourism has recently been acknowledged as a potential means for sustainable development. This study examined what tourism has meant for the community members involved in community based tourism (CBT) projects in rural Quintana Roo, Mexico, with regards to the sustainable development of their communities. The study used a qualitative case study research design to compare two different approaches to
This thesis explores the underlying reasons for recent protests in Peru that began after the ousting of President Pedro Castillo in December of last year. The research is an explorative case study based on the thematic analysis of news articles. By drawing on decolonial theory, social movement theorising, as well as the concepts of identity and place, it examines the context of the protests and th
In response to the environmental crisis and growing consumer awareness, increasing attention has been directed towards sustainable production models centred on circularity, resource efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. Against this background, practices such as upcycling, which aim to extend product lifespans and reduce waste, have gained increased attention. The European Union has artic
Som en följd av att informationskompetens lyfts fram i Bolognaprocessen som ett betydelsefullt element i all högre utbildning har ämnet uppmärksammats i stigande grad inom universitetsvärlden. Bolognaprocessen har även föranlett ändringar i svensk lagstiftning som gör kursplaner till juridiskt bindande dokument. Kursplanernas lärandemål måste examineras för att man ska kunna säkerställa att de har
Staphylococcus aureus är en kommensal bakterie, vars främsta nisch i människokroppen är huden och näsan. Det är också en patogen förmögen att orsaka ett stort antal infektioner, bland annat matförgiftning, infekterade sår men också allvarligare infektioner som blodförgiftning och hjärtmuskelinflammation. Meticillin-resistenta Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) är resistenta mot praktiskt taget alla ß-laStaphylococcus aureus is a human commensal bacterium, living primarily on the skin and in the nose. It is also a pathogen able to cause a wide range of diseases, including food poisoning, infection of wounds but also more serious infections such as bacteremia and endocarditis. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is resistant to virtually every ß-lactam antibiotic, making infections
This article explores the relationship between statelessness and refugeeness over time and space. It does so by drawing on how Palestinian refugees from Syria in Sweden navigate the various stateless and refugee labels imposed upon them before, during and after their flight from Syria to Sweden. Standpoint theory was deployed as the basis for understanding how this group of stateless refugees rela
This chapter responds to the following question: what substantive positive obligations did the Court formulate in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz under Article 8 ECHR that can actually guide the future conduct of States? To frame it even more specifically, what is the content of these positive obligations? More precisely, this content is clarified through the lens of the standard of causation. Cau
The Swedish Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases worked with paediatric societies for emergency medicine, anaesthesia, and intensive care to produce the 2025 recommendations for the initial management of suspected sepsis. They cover 28 days of corrected age to 18 years, but exclude immunodeficiency, immunosuppression, and suspected meningitis. Suspicion of sepsis and sepsis-associated shock i
BACKGROUND: Patients presenting with an acutely painful swollen joint represent a diagnostic challenge. We aimed to develop a clinical prediction model for septic arthritis (SA) in the adult native knee.METHODS: We screened all synovial cultures in south Sweden in 2020 and 2021. We included cultures taken in the emergency department from adults' native knees where SA was considered a differential
Changes in drug use in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic and their long-term consequences are not well understood. We employed natural language processing and machine learning to analyse a large dataset of self-reported rates of and reasons for drug use during the pandemic, along with their associations with anxiety, depression and substance use problems post-pandemic. Our findin
This article is a collective response to the 2020 iteration of The Manifesto for Teaching Online. Originally published in 2011 as 20 simple but provocative statements, the aim was, and continues to be, to critically challenge the normalization of education as techno-corporate enterprise and the failure to properly account for digital methods in teaching in Higher Education. The 2020 Manifesto cont
