Background: The COVID-19 pandemic placed considerable pressure on nursing homes, where care workers faced high workloads, uncertainty, and emotional strain while also being expected to implement extensive infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. Understanding how such everyday experiences affect adherence to IPC measures is essential for strengthening future guideline implementation and tr
BACKGROUND: – The optimal management of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains unclear, and evidence supporting routine percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) beforehand is limited. This study aimed to evaluate whether PCI before TAVR provides clinical benefit compared with conservative management in patients with significant coronary
Nerve surgery for unmeasurable upper extremity neuropathophysiology - such as pronator syndrome, supinator syndrome/radial tunnel syndrome, lacertus syndrome, and neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome - remains a subject of ongoing debate due to the lack of objective reference tests confirming the diagnoses. This round table discussion outlines the perspectives of five expert surgeons navigating the
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunctions are associated with increased cancer morbidity and rapid tumor progression. The alpha1-oleate complex has been used successfully to treat bladder cancer in a placebo-controlled Phase II study. Studies of the related BAMLET complexes recently identified effects on metabolism, suggesting additional functions of the "HAMLET family" of tumoricidal complexes.AIMS: To
Biological phosphorus removal in cold-climate regions is historically challenged by suppressed kinetic rates and severe biomass washout during spring snowmelt events. This study evaluates the performance, resilience, and kinetic limitations of a pilot-scale Sequencing Batch Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (SB-MBBR) for Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) un-der low temperatures (8.3–9.6°C) at
This essay examines the discourse in the Swedish government’s policy on a national begging ban. It focuses on the state, juridical and political discourse around begging and people who beg, and how people who are referred to as “Vulnerable EU citizens” who come to Sweden to beg are constructed. People who are referred to as “Vulnerable EU citizens” most often belong to the Roma population. Therefo
This study aims to critically analyze visual representations by using a semiotic method on Victoria’s Secrets fashion shows. The study examines how women are portrayed and objectified by the media for advertising purposes. Consumption and capitalist values appear as one of the central focuses throughout the study due to the power structure that reinforces its behaviors. Furthermore the exclusion o
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn är mycket resursintensiv, vilket understryker behovet av att utveckla hållbara materialval som kan ersätta ändliga resurser. En väg framåt är att omvandla restprodukter och avfall från andra sektorer till användbara byggmaterial. En sådan potentiell resurs är skalen från stillahavsostronet (Magallana gigas), en art som under de senaste 20 åren spridit sig okontrollerat The construction and real-estate sector is highly resource-intensive, underlining the need for sustainable material choices that can substitute finite natural resources. One viable pathway is to transform by-products and waste streams from other sectors into useful construction materials. One such potential resource is the shell of the Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas), an invasive species that has
Protein recovery from fermentation broths remains a challenge in downstream bioprocessing due to the complex composition of fermentation media. This study investigated a cascade microfiltration–ultrafiltration (MF–UF) process for protein clarification and concentration from a whey protein-based model fermentation broth. The work evaluated membrane performance, fouling behavior, cleaning efficiency
In recent years, loneliness has been increasingly recognized as a public health issue in Sweden, with young men identified as a particularly vulnerable group. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how high school counselors, a profession close to the target group, describe and reason about their work with loneliness among young men. The method chosen was qualitative interviews with seven
Denna studie undersöker hur infrastruktur och planering för aktiva färdsätt skiljer sig åt mellan Rosengård och Västra Hamnen, samt huruvida dessa skillnader återspeglar principer om mobilitetsrättvisa. Trots att Malmö är internationellt erkänt för hållbar stadsutveckling är staden alltjämt en av Sveriges mest socioekonomiskt segregerade städer. Studien tillämpar en komparativ kvalitativ design meThis study examines how active travel infrastructure and planning differ between Rosengård and Västra Hamnen, and whether those differences reflect principles of mobility justice. Although internationally recognized for sustainable urban development, Malmö remains one of Sweden's most socio-economically segregated cities. The study employs a comparative qualitative design with mobility justice
This thesis examines how H&M’s scope 3 emission governance is connected to the distributionof power, responsibility, and value between H&M and its garment manufacturing suppliers.The background explains why scope 3 emissions are particularly relevant in the garmentindustry, where many emissions occur outside H&M’s direct operations. Drawing on a Global Production Network perspective, t
(1) Background: Food education has gradually emerged in schools as a transformative lever toaddress public health issues and foster the transformation of our contemporary food systems. In France, food education was officially integrated into the elementary education framework in 2014 andhas recently regained traction with the adoption of a new food-education pilot law in January 2026.(2) Aims and
Architectural classification has long been constrained to visual standards, defining materials as flat surfaces or static geometric volumes. Yet, when dealing with reused materials, frequently non-standard and irregular, this surface-level consideration is not enough. To surpass this visual bias, this thesis introduces a research workflow that interrogates the hidden identity of physical materia
The Swedish defence market constitutes a relevant context for studying innovation and innovation collaboration. The market is shaped by increasing demands for technological renewal and collaboration, while state-dominated demand, regulation, secrecy requirements and a specification-based procurement logic create particular conditions for innovation activities. Against this background, this study e
This thesis examines how trans influencers narrate and negotiate identity and visibility on YouTube, a platform where trans people may find recognition and community but also encounter hostility. The study focuses on four trans influencers whose YouTube content addresses transition, gender identity, public visibility and experiences of transphobia. Using thematic narrative analysis, the thesis exp
Forest Aboveground biomass (AGB) is an important indicator of forest carbon storage, but long-term, high-resolution, and spatially continuous Aboveground biomass estimation remains challenging. This study produced annual forest Aboveground biomass estimates across mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands from 2000 to 2024 at 30 m resolution by combining Landsat time series, Global Ecosystem Dynamic
Med en krympande industriell arbetsstyrka och den snabba utvecklingen inom artificiell intelligens, börjar många företag rikta blickarna mot intelligenta humanoida robotar för att understödja dem i deras verksamhet. Denna uppsats utforskar dagens landskap av humanoida robotar och skisserar hur Saab Naval kan påbörja processen av att integrera dem i deras skeppsvarvsproduktion. Nya framsteg och nuvWith a shrinking industrial workforce and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, many companies are starting to look toward intelligent humanoid robots to aid them in their operations. This thesis explores the current landscape of industrial humanoid robots and outlines how Saab Naval can start the process of integrating them into their shipyard production. Recent advancements and curre
This master thesis was performed in collaboration with NP Innovation. The purpose of this project was to develop a new inlet channel and two adapters for a water filter used in fish farming. Two different sizes of filters are included in the company's product portfolio. For both filters there is one inlet channel each in a corresponding size. One inlet channel consist of an adapter welded to t
