Bakgrund Mätning av rotation i höftleden är en viktig del i undersökningen av patienter med höft- och ljumsksmärta. Rotation kan mätas i olika positioner. Vidare undersökning behövs för att jämföra hur mätvärdena skiljer sig åt mellan olika positioner men även undersökning av interbedömarreliabiliteten. Syfte Syftet var att undersöka hur mätvärdena vid passiv rotation i höftleden skiljer sig åt me

Bakgrund: Hamstringsskador (HSI) är en av de vanligaste idrottsrelaterade skadorna och incidensen har ökat de senaste årtiondena. Idrottare som ofta drabbas är fotbollsspelare: 22% av alla fotbollsspelare drabbas av en HSI per säsong. Studier visar att tidigare HSI är den absolut största riskfaktorn för att drabbas igen och preventiva interventioner är därför en viktig komponent för att minska inc

Certain religious organisations restrict their operations to a specific geographical area despite the fact that their aim presumably would be to transcend these boundaries. They promote one overarching religious identity that is shared worldwide which is why it should not be in the organisations interests to limit themselves geographically. The study’s objective is therefore to comprehend how the

Bakgrund För att mäta styrkan i höftmuskulaturen kan en handhållen dynamometer användas. Mätningar med handhållen dynamometer kan dock begränsas av individuella faktorer hos testledaren såsom vikt, greppstyrka och kroppsstyrka. För att undvika att dessa faktorer påverkar resultatet kan den handhållna dynamometern fixeras externt. Trots att mätmetoderna separat (handhållen/förankrad dynamometer) ha

Agricultural transformation is regarded as a prerequisite for economic growth and development to be sustainable in the long run. However, agricultural workers are among the most disadvantaged workers as well as they are a distinct occupational group that forms an important part of sustainable agricultural development in terms of skills, knowledge, and experience. This paper explores how the ongoin

Climate change adaptation is taking a more visible role in the planning agendas of countries, cities, and communities. With increasing attention being paid on the different approaches and practicalities of selecting and implementing adaptation strategies and interventions to cushion the risks and impacts of climate change. Globally, there have been calls to strengthen adaptation especially among v

α-Synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein implied in still not-well-known healthy function and also found as the main component of aggregates in Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, hallmarks of the Parkinson’s disease. In both of cases, the interaction with lipid membranes is crucial. In this study we propose the investigation of the interaction between α-Synuclein and model systems made of DO

Smartphone technology has found its way into our lives and homes, from children to elders. Most of us use it frequently and even when we are on a screen break, the phone is still at arm’s reach. We nowadays find ourselves glancing or tapping the screen in awe. For pre-teens and specially teens, the use of this social networks has become and essential tool for them to be seen and heard. At the beg

Bakgrund: Fysisk aktivitet i klassrummet har visat sig ge ökat fokus och förbättrar skolresultat bland elever. Att ägna en kort stund av lektionstiden åt fysisk aktivitet minskar också stillasittandet och dess negativa effekter, där så lite som två minuter är tillräckligt. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga integreringen av fysisk aktivitet under lektionstid för att minska stillasitt

Risk-informed development aims to include complex risks into all levels and phases of decision-making. Going beyond the integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk management, risk-informed development emerged after the 2015 global agreements (Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals) and represents a rationale to consider m

Li-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries with a high energy density. The demand for this kind of products has gradually been rising in Sweden, which has increased the proportion of Li-ion batteries available in people’s homes. Due to the high energy density of the Li-ion batteries in combination with the toxic gases that can be emitted from them if ignited there is a risk that this kind of bat

Revision är en viktig funktion i samhället och näringsliv för att försäkra den information som företag lämnar ifrån sig. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda vilka begränsningar som föreligger för en revisor i samband med hans eller hennes utövande av revisionsverksamhet. För att kunna redogöra för det har det varit av vikt att också fastställa vad som avses med revisionsverksamhet och vad revisAuditing is an important function in society and businesses. It is important in order to ensure that the information which companies provide to the public is a correct rendering of the company’s economic position. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the limitations that exist for an auditor in connection with his or her exercise of auditing. In order to be able to account for this, it ha

This study aims to predict saving behavior using Artificial Neural Network (ANN), XGBoost, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. First, 25 variables were chosen from the original 217 questions asked by the National Financial Capability Well-Being Survey (2018) NFCS, using exploratory data analysis. K-means clustering was applied to determine the optimal number of saving classes (k=5) to inc

The human immune system responds to a wide variety of pathogens and microorganisms to defend the body. Investigating the cell types and molecular markers of the immune system are critical for the understanding of diseases and finding treatments. Antigen presenting cells (APCs) are sentinels of the immune system that sample the surrounding environment and educate the components of the adaptive immu

To the ensure continuity and protection of critical infrastructures in society, it is necessary to study infrastructure dependencies. This thesis focuses on critical infrastructure dependencies in Sweden and aims to increase the knowledge of how municipalities in Sweden analyze critical dependencies in municipal risk and vulnerability analyses (RVAs). The study adopts a framework of risk governanc

A major area of research in neuroscience is the effect of stimulating nerves into activation from extrinsic stimuli. This is commonly done with electric currents and external skin-contact electrodes. Research has shown that this method is efficient for producing muscle activation and that different current waveforms produce differing levels of activation and discomfort. This report aims to augment

People who don’t eat meat can suffer from iron deficiency due to the lower efficiency of absorption of non-heme iron compared to heme iron. The aim of this master thesis was to explore the possibilities of producing a plant-based alternative of heme-iron by evaluating the efficiency of expression of sugar beet hemoglobin in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. The gene from sugar beet hemog

Syfte: Den här pilotstudien hade syftet att undersöka svårighetsgraden av ett urval affix inför en kommande interventionsstudie (huvudstudie) och därmed få en ökad kunskap om barns förståelse för morfem.
