ABSTRACT Author: Moa Stinggård Kristensson Title: Rehabilitation and Social Capital. A Study of the Patient's Access to and Choice of Rehabilitation in the Context of Cancer Disease. Supervisor: Marianne Larsson Lindahl Assessor: Max Koch, Anna Meeuwisse The aim of this study was to examine the extent to which patients were informed about the possibility of rehabilitation. Further, to investig
Purpose: The purpose is to research different co-operations between venue owners and WISPs, when WLAN is deployed in a public space. The aim is to establish viable business models for the interaction between the two vital actors in the public WLAN industry. In this work, the advantages and disadvantages of revenue and cost sharing will be defined, along with technical and commercial issues that ne
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to clarify and evaluate the concept of scenario planning. Methodology: Our research methodology has a qualitative approach and uses deductive reasoning. The theoretical field of strategy formulation has been reviewed and in specific the concept scenario planning was unravelled and mapped. Thereafter, our model was tested in a case study where the empirical da
Anyone trying to maintain a set of text documents in an information retrieval system will run into problems keeping it relevant and up to date as the amount of data increases. This thesis investigates how a collection of documents can be clustered in a way that resembles how a human would organize it. It also assesses how difficult it is to implement this into an existing information retrieval sys
In this paper, I explore the construction and articulation of heterosexual masculinity through male masturbatory aids, and how these aids manipulate and interact with heterosexual desires, pleasures and intimacies. The first chapter of this paper is given over to historically contextualising attitudes and perceptions of male masturbation and entwining this with a history of masculinity. What follo
In this essay I have tried to study and examine how users of illegal narcotic substances reach out for help and support on Drogakuten, a sub forum on the message board Flashback forum instead of turning to the health care system. I have tried to look at the interaction between the members to see if there is a harm reduction philosophy present on the board. I have also tried to analyze Drogakuten a
Offentlig upphandling är det förfarande som reglerar den offentliga sektorns inköp av varor, tjänster och byggentreprenader. Vid upphandling av offentlig konst tillämpar myndigheter vanligtvis förhandlat förfarande utan föregående annonsering (direktupphandling) som utgör ett undantagsförfarande till den generella annonseringsplikten. Annonseringsplikten finns till för att samtliga intresserade lePublic procurement is the purchase of works, supplies or services made by contracting authorities. When procuring art a negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used, this procedure constitutes an exception to the obligation of prior publication. The obligation of prior publication exists for all contracting authorities in order for all interested economic operators to be able to appl
The aim of this thesis is to examine archival clerks within the City of Malmö in regards to their position within their organisations and how their practical work coincide with the policy documents. The thesis also examines the archival clerks own thoughts on their work. In a Swedish context of the public sector archival clerks handle the practical work concerning the archive in their workplace. T
A major problem in the development of intelligent hearing aids is often referred to as the cocktail party problem. It describes the remarkable ability of the human brain of filter out unwanted sounds in a noisy environment, while focusing on a single talker or conversation. Without the ability to select and enhance a specific sound source of choice while suppressing the background, the hearing aid
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made rapid progress in the last years and in fields, such as computer vision, they are considered state-of-the-art. However, CNNs are very computationally intensive. This makes them challenging to use in embedded devices such as smartphones, security cameras and cars. This thesis investigates different neural network compression techniques to see which wi
The aminoglycosides and cyclic polypeptides are essential drugs in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, underscoring the need for accurate and reproducible drug susceptibility testing (DST). The epidemiological cutoff value (ECOFF) separating wild-type susceptible strains from non-wild-type strains is an important but rarely used tool for indicating susceptibility breakpoints against
In today’s society many children are struggling to exercise enough, this is especially the case for children with severe cerebral palsy, who often spend much time sedentary, which leads to several serious health risks. To mitigate these risks, the standard care in Sweden has been a static standing training (StS) regime. However, this training regime is no magic bullet, due to the relatively low in
With modern day interest to continue the reduction of harmful emissions and improve the efficiency of combustion devices, the need to further improve upon accuracy and ability to describe combustive processes is of high value. Nowadays, multiple capable point (0D) and two-dimensional measurement (2D) techniques exist for flame investigation, however as combustion nearly always is a three-dimension
Syftet med följande studie är att med hjälp av en kritisk diskursanalys undersöka vilka diskurser som texter om manlig psykisk ohälsa i svensk dagspress bygger på och hur dessa tar sig uttryck. Det sekundära syftet är att diskutera vad detta kan ha för konsekvenser för större sociala processer och förändringar som har med problem relaterade till manlig psykisk ohälsa att göra. I dagstidningarna AfThe purpose of this study is to, through a critical discourse analysis, examine what discourses are being used in texts about men’s mental illness in Swedish newspapers and in what way these are manifested. The purpose is further to discuss what possible consequences of the discourse practice there are in relation to wider social processes and changes that surround problems related to men’s mental
The aim of this study is to investigate the accessibility and possible correlation and variations on the social service websites where they describe social problems and municipalities' efforts in relation with this. I have investigated this with the help of a checklist based on quantitative issues. Through the checklist, I have collected data like a survey where I fill in the checklist based o
One of the most prioritized goals in transport planning of today is the cost-effective goal to shift the modal split in favour of sustainable transport modes, as e.g. bicycle. The aim of this master thesis is to investigate how to efficiently and successfully realize such transport planning. To do so, it is important to identify which factors affect the modal choice and how these factors should be
The European Spallation Source will be a world leading neutron source available for a range of neutron scattering experiments in the scientific community. In order to accurately simulate the production of cold and thermal neutrons, an accurate calculation of the neutron cross section for the moderator materials is needed. The neutron cross sections used in the current simulation models for the liq
This essay is structured as a theory test of an article written by Justin H. Kirkland (2011), his work was an application of a network theory on U.S. legislature. The theory he applied was about the importance of weak and strong ties in networks. This essay looked at the work done by Kirkland and decided to examine if his theory would give the same results if applied on a significantly different
Silicon double crystal monochromators are standard in modern synchrotron hard X-ray beamlines. Their role is reducing a polychromatic photon beam to a small range of wavelengths, typically within a bandwidth of 0.01-0.1%. These monochromators work through the principle of Bragg diffraction where the crystal lattice spacing, photon energy and incident angle determines the reflectivity of the crystal.
