Three matters are investigated in this bachelor thesis. First it assess wether banking crises have a negative effect on a country’s economy. Secondly it evaluates if bank support can cushion this potential adverse effect. Thirdly it analyzes if bank support has a positive effect up to a certain level before it starts to decline. The economical variables being used as bench marks are five years ave
Bakgrund: Årligen diagnostiseras över 6900 personer i bröstcancer och utgör den vanligast förekommande dödsorsaken hos kvinnor. Möjligheten att upptäcka sjukdomen i ett tidigt skede har ökat i Sverige då kvinnor i åldrarna 40-74 erbjuds hälsokontroller med mammografiscreening. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av mammografiscreening. Metod: En litteraturstudieIntroduction: Breast cancer is the most common death cause among women, more than 6900 women are diagnosed every year. The opportunity to discover the disease in an early stage has increased due to all women in Sweden are offered health checks with mammography screening. The aim of this study was to examine women's experiences of mammography screening. Method: The study was conducted as a lite
Bakgrund: Föräldrar är en självklar del av vården utom när det gäller återupplivning av barn. Bland personal finns fortfarande ett stort motstånd till föräldrars närvaro vid återupplivning. Syfte: Att sammanställa föräldrars upplevelse av att närvara när deras barn återupplivades på sjukhus. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie där innehållet analyserades enligt SBU:s metod för att extrahera tem
Purpose: Anti-consumerism and sustainable fashion are two vital concepts that are prominent in society today, but have not been analyzed in terms of if they are a part of creating this brand resonance. A new framework, the Sustainable Brand Stewardship Model, is introduced to determine if a sustainable brand is able to sustain long-term competitive advantages through enhancing brand resonance. Met
Samarbetet mellan arkitekter och ingenjörer har berörts och diskuterats under en lång tid. Förhållanden och relationer har förändrats och till följd av struktur och kultur har det uppstått en förskjutning i styrkeförhållandena. Ett mönster av attityder och beteenden har stabiliserats över tid och dessa samt förhållanden kan därför även ses vara förankrade genom institutionalism i branschen. En for
T cells play an important role in the immune system where T cell receptors (TCR) identify foreign pathogens bound to major histocompability complex (MHC) molecules on antigen presenting cells (APCs). The detection of an antigen causes the T cell to trigger, which is an activation of the cell that results in a cellular immune response. This triggering process is not fully understood and studying th
There is not much research done regarding maneouvering flight on Birds. What has been done surrounding the area usually involves steady flight and not maneuvering. For the most part studies concern bats, insects or hummingbirds. What makes research on maneuvering on birds important is that in a bird’s everyday life, very little of it consists of steady flight. This study has looked on the Pied fly
Hemoglobin is mainly viewed as an oxygen and carbon dioxide carrier in the blood of animals and thus essential for life as we know it. During the course of evolution, plants have also developed versions of this protein, for similar and different purposes, such as regulation of nitric oxide levels. A lot of research has been put into characterization of hemoglobin from monocots, including rice, bar
This documentation follows the process of our Bachelor Project in Industrial Design. The theme of the project is inspiration and what it means to be inspired, and resulted in a collection of three designs. The ideation and design process is based on three current topics, chosen by us as our sources of inspiration. Our aim was to highlight the process between being inspired to having a fini

För att vården ska kunna erbjuda rätt stöd är förståelse för partners upplevelser av att leva i ett parförhållande med en demenssjuk person viktigt. Syfte: Belysa upplevelser av att ha en partner med demenssjukdom. Metod: Litteraturst
Convolutional neural networks have in recent years been successfully employed for various image processing tasks, such as filtering noise. There are however relatively few published attempts for processing video in this way. Image processing methods on single images can be applied frame by frame, but often fail to consider continuity and flow between frames. In this master's thesis we construc
The consumption and production of livestock have a negative impact on the environment and climate. In many Western countries, the consumption is particularly high and it is expected to increase globally. This increase will lead to further pressure on already stressed planetary boundaries. Recently edible insects have been proposed to be an alternative to conventional meat, because they have a lowe
Mer än en tredjedel av all producerad mat slösas på vägen från produktion till konsumtion, där privata hushåll utgör den största delen av avfallskedjan. Konsekvenserna innebär slöseri av vatten-, gödningsmedel och odlingslandets effektivitet. En undersökning av det angivna problemet har genomförts och innehåller syftet att minska matsvinnet i hushåll. Genom att använda en användarcentrerad designpMore than one-third of all food produced is wasted in the food chain from production to consumption, where private households represent the largest food waste faction. In turn, water, fertilizer and cropland efficiency is wasted as well. Investigating the stated problem, this paper’s aim is to reduce food waste. Using a user-centered design iteration approach, observing, ideating, prototyping in d
The purpose of this thesis is to answer the question: is it possible to outperform the OMXS30 index by using an investment strategy based on the Black Swan theory? With increased globalization and technological development, the world has become more and more complex and economic models and theories cannot capture all the sources to risk. There are also several limitations to the human mind which m
Dagens kontorsmarknad och arbetssätt står inför en ständig förändring och utvecklas snabbare än någonsin. Faktorer som driver på denna utveckling är allt från omvärldens globalisering, urbanisering, digitalisering, nya ekonomier och framtida generationer. Dessa faktorer hjälper till att sprida kunskap, öka kommunikationsmöjligheter, möjliggöra ett mer självständigt arbetsliv och främja företagande
This essay aims to discuss equality in the film selection screened in Undergraduate Film Studies at Lunds University and Stockholm University. As there is a consensus within canon formation studies that film canons hegemonically premier white men of American and European decent, there was reason to analyze if this could be found within these academic film institutions. The films screened during th
