An increasing challenge in modern society is the rising prevalence of psychiatric problems among children and adolescents. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (BUP) works with triage, treatment and follow-up of young patients, generating large amounts of clinical data throughout the treatment process. Despite this, the clinical data are currently limited used. The aim of this project was therefore to
Sleep difficulties are a prevalent health issue in Sweden, and affects nearly half of the adult population. A variety of sound-based aids are commonly used, including white and pink noise, although scientific evidence for their effectiveness is limited. This project, conducted at Lund University, explores the sonification of electroencephalography (EEG) signals into music to facilitate the process
Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening condition in which the heart stops pumping blood to the body, leading to loss of oxygen supply to vital organs. Despite cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), early defibrillation and advances in emergency care, many survivors still suffer from neurological injury due to brain damage from loss of oxygen. Predicting neurological outcome, or even the chances of s
Background: Monitoring of essential physiological parameters is standard practice during magnetic resonance imaging, MRI. However, signal extraction and post-examination analysis of these parameters at SUS Lund is limited, mainly due to insufficient software capabilities. Yet researchers and physicians alike have voiced their interest in a program that manages structured and synchronized capture o
Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer among women in Sweden, with 9 000 diagnoses during 2023. While the five-year survival rate reaches 92.5% due to national screening programs, transitioning from 2D Digital Mammography to 3D Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) could further improve early detection. However, the high volumes of data increases the examination times, preventing it from
Reliable ankle torque measurements are important in rehabilitation, where strength assessments are used to evaluate recovery and guide treatment. Isokinetic dynamometers, such as the Biodex system, are commonly used to provide controlled measurements of joint torque. However, these measurements rely on the ankle being held in a stable and reproducible position. Mechanical play in the ankle-attachm
One of the greatest public health challenges of our time is mental health issues, particularly the increasing prevalence among young adults in Sweden. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence (AI), which is more accessible and widely used than ever before, is being discussed as a promising tool in mental health care. This report investigates the potential of a generative AI-based chatbot to promote ment
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a long-term inflammatory disease of the middle ear that can cause persistent ear discharge and hearing loss. EarClean is an ear pipette intended to enable simple and cost-effective rinsing and cleaning of the ear canal. For safe clinical use, it is importantto evaluate whether the pressure generated during use may pose a risk of damaging the tympanic memb
Denna uppsats syfte var att undersöka hur fysisk smärta i samband med hormon- och kopparspiraler framställs i svensk media. Detta utförs genom en kritisk diskursanalys av 11 artiklar, publicerade mellan 2020-2025, i svensk redaktionell media som innefattar bland annat nyhetsartiklar, krönikor och reportage. Utifrån materialet analyserades tre övergripande teman: framställning av fysisk smärta, med
Future sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems are expected to support extreme data rates, massive connectivity, and high energy efficiency. Largescale Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) combined with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a key enabling technology to meet these demands. However, OFDM signals exhibit a high Peakto- Average Power Ratio (PAPR), which forces power amp
Nationella prov i låg- och mellanstadiet infördes i Sverige 2011 i samband med den nya läroplanen Lgr11. Syftet med proven var, framför allt i årskurs 3, att agera diagnostiserande och lokalisera elever i behov av extra stöd med målet att öka måluppfyllelsen och stärka likvärdigheten. Denna studie undersöker huruvida införandet av nationella prov i lägre åldrar har uppnått de syftena. Aggregerade
This thesis examines how audience responses to the trans character Player 120 in Squid Game Season 2 are constructed within mainstream celebratory online spaces in a Mexican context. Following the release of the series, the character generated an unusually positive reaction across social media platforms, where she was widely praised and described as an example of “good” inclusion. In a context whe
This thesis explores the contradiction between the visibility of Black culture and the social invisibility of Black people in contemporary Japan. Black cultural forms are widely consumed in Japanese popular culture, from music and fashion to hairstyles, yet Black residents remain systematically marginalized in mainstream media and public discourse. The myth of tan'itsu minzoku sustains this co
This thesis examines how meanings of female body hair are constructed, negotiated, and contested within digital spaces in contemporary China, focusing on the #armpithairfreedom on Rednote. While existing research on body hair and digital feminism is largely grounded in Western contexts, this study addresses a critical gap by situating analysis within China’s culturally specific and platform-regula
CEO compensation is a contested topic in business research, shaped by several determinants. One such factor is CEO visibility, which prior research has linked to CEO compensation in traditional media settings. However, it remains unclear whether this visibility-compensation relationship extends to professional social media platforms (PSMPs). This study examines whether CEO PSMP visibility is assoc
Bakgrund: Endometrios är en kronisk inflammatorisk sjukdom som kan medföra omfattande symtom och påverka flera aspekter av kvinnors liv. Tidigare forskning visar att kvinnor med endometrios kan möta flera utmaningar i vården, såsom fördröjd diagnos och bristande stöd. Syfte: Att beskriva hur kvinnor med endometrios upplever vården. Metod: En icke-systematisk litteraturstudie med integrerad analys
With the release of Bluetooth Core Specification 6.0 in September 2024, Bluetooth Channel Sounding has attracted significant attention for high-accuracy indoor positioning applications. This thesis focuses on the evaluation and improvement of Bluetooth Channel Sounding techniques under both single-antenna and dual-antenna configurations. In the single-antenna setup, distance estimation is obtained
Svensk hälso- och sjukvård präglas av personalbrist, hög arbetsbelastning och svårigheter att behålla sjuksköterskor. Trots att fler utbildar sig till sjuksköterskor lämnar många yrket eller söker sig till andra arbetsgivare på grund av bristande arbetsmiljö och hög psykosocial belastning. Detta påverkar vårdens kvalitet, kompetensförsörjning och arbetsmiljö. Det finns av den anledningen behov
