The model is successfully implemented and done in a step-

Trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet för cyklister i korsningar - En analys av korsningar i Malmö

För att nå Sveriges transportpolitiska mål är krävs det att fler väljer cykeln som huvudsakligt färdmedel. Genom att prioritera cyklisters trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet ökar attraktiviteten vilket gör att fler väljer att cykla. I denna studie har tre korsningar i Malmö analyserats med avseende på trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet där syftet var att undersöka hur trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet In order to achieve Sweden's transport policy goals, it is required that more people choose the bicycle as their main mode of transport. By prioritizing cyclists' traffic safety and level of service, attractiveness increases, which means that more people choose to cycle.

Earth Architecture - Towards a Sustainable Future?

It is widely recognised that the two major challenges of the 21st century are climate change and poverty. The building sector is responsible for over a third of all global carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, we see vastly overcrowded and rapidly growing informal settlements in developing countries, where people lack the basic right to decent shelter. This is simply not sustainable and forc

Automatic 3D Segmentation in CT images of Congenital Heart Defects using Deep Learning

Automatiska 3D modeller av hjärtan med medfödda hjärtfel med hjälp av AI Tänk om du kan titta på ett hjärta innan du ska operera på en patient. Detta är möjligt genom att skapa en 3D modell av hjärtat. Detta görs bara på några få patienter om året men tack vara det här arbetet så kan 3D modeller skapas för fler patienter och därmed öka patientsäkerheten. På Skånes universitetssjukhus i Lund så 3D segmentations of hearts with congenital heart defects are routinely used today. They are used to study hearts and to prepare before surgery which makes them an important part of patient care. The 3D segmentations are usually created manually, which is a time-consuming process. By automating this process, less time can be spent creating these models, and more time can be spend on patient care.

Sustainable Development in Latin America – Linking Renewable Energy, Economic Complexity and GHG Emissions

This thesis analyses the interrelations of economic complexity, greenhouse gas emissions, and renewable energy in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), using annual data from 1998 to 2018. Economic development in the region is characterised by the exploitation of natural resources and low economic sophistication. At the same time, a dynamic renewable energy market has developed in LAC. The Enviro

Avkriminalisering av cannabis - En komparativ studie mellan universitets- och polisstudenters attityder

Cannabis is a well-debated topic in contemporary society where globally, several countries have legalized or decriminalized cannabis use in recent years. Yet Sweden remains a country that distances itself from such decriminalization policies and has long enforced a prohibitionist approach to drugs and drug use. The qualitative study presented here examines and compares university and police studen

Preparation of Cell Model Systems for Digital Spatial Profiling

Current cancer treatments can be non-specific, aggressive, and often lead to poor quality of life due to significant side effects. There is a dire need for personalised medicine and accurate tumour subtyping, particularly with cancers with high levels of heterogeneity. Spatial omics is transforming the way in which we understand and treat cancer, paving the way for more patient-specific treatments

Longshore Sediment Transport Along the Coast of Ystad Municipality

Sandstränder utgör en stor del av Ystads kust och används flitigt för bad och hundpromenader och är en stor del av kommunens turism. Förutom att glädja besökare fungerar de även som skydd mot översvämningar och hindrar havet från att nå vägar och byggnader vid högvatten eller stormar. I takt med klimatförändringarna finns det ett ökat hot för att stränderna ska erodera bort, genom att sand transpoThe coast of Ystad municipality has historically been subject to erosion, leading to the loss of recreational areas and near-beach structures, consequently resulting in the implementation of mitigating measures. With the ongoing climate change, erosion is expected to continue. This generates a need for a better understanding of sediment dynamics and sediment transport patterns, in order to further
