Bakgrund: Barnmorskors upplevelser av att själva föda barn är ett relativt outforskat område. Befintlig forskning berör övrig vårdpersonals upplevelser av att vara patient. I Sverige sker de flesta förlossningar på sjukhus och en majoritet av alla yrkesverksamma barnmorskor är kvinnor. Detta innebär att många barnmorskor någon gång kommer att befinna sig i situationen som födande patient eller som

Framtidens kliniska prövningar - Konceptualisering av ett decentraliserat digitalt system Tolv år och 1336 miljoner dollar, det är vad som krävs i genomsnitt för att framställa ett nytt läkemedel. För att kunna erbjuda alla människor så bra behandling som möjligt skulle det skulle därför vara fördelaktigt om processen kunde effektiviseras och ett viktigt steg i att få en ny behandling godkänd ärDeveloping and getting a new medicine approved is a long and expensive process and it would therefore be beneficial if it could be streamlined. In order to control the effect and safety of a new treatment, clinical trials are performed. Traditionally, these have been performed at physical clinics, but with digitalization the option to collect clinical data remotely has been presented. This thesi

The aim of this study is to analyze the differences in years of education for men and women, and how these differences affect economic growth. The author believes there is a significant loss of human capital in the world, when girls for different reasons do not reach the same level of education as boys. This loss becomes clear by inspecting the literacy rate for each gender, and when viewing the o

The main objective of this paper is to investigate price determining factors in Swedish grocery retailing. By combining economic theory with linear regression analysis the paper wishes to shed light on what kind of factors that are affecting Swedish food retailers when they are pricing food products. Different food retailers face different conditions when it comes to competition, demand, locality

Micropollutants in our sources of freshwater is an issue which requires immediate attention. The presence of pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting agents, pesticides and other harmful compounds have proven to have impact on the aquatic as well as on human life. Treated wastewater being a major source of ingress of micropollutants into the aquatic environment, the current standards do not stipulate

Detta examensarbete handlar om fukthantering i träkonstruktioner. Det blir vanligare att använda sig av korslimmat trä (KL-trä) i konstruktioner idag och syftet med arbetet är därför att fördjupa sig mer i ämnet och undersöka vilka orosmoment som kan uppstå när man bygger med trä och hur man hindrar att orosmomentet uppstår på ett optimalt sätt. Frågeställningarna som togs fram var: • Vilka typeThis thesis deals with moisture management in wooden structures. In modern society it is currently common to use cross-laminated timber wood (CLT) in constructions. As the new technologies advances every day, moisture management needs to be streamlined. The purpose of the work is to delve deeper into the subject and investigate which concerns can arise when building in wood and how to prevent the

This essay explores the magistratal lists (fasti etcetera) covering the period of 509 to 219 BC by looking at an accumulation of political capital and the length of magistratal careers. This essay attempts to give evidence to several theories for the early and middle Republic, primarily the fact that retirement of consulars occurs around the age of 60-65 and that one started one's consular car

Alltsedan konstruktivismen under 1990-talet etablerat sig inom disciplinen Internationella Relationer har en myriad av forskare däribland Alexander Wendt, den mest inflytelserika av de alla, studerat internationell politik med ett konstruktivistiskt sätt att tänka. Föreliggande studie behandlar vidare å ena sidan på vilket sätt det wendtianska identitetsbegreppet kan förstås som underteoretiserat

We present a data-driven proof of concept model capable of reproducing expected counterparty credit exposures from market and trade data. The model has its greatest advantages in quick single-contract exposure evaluations that could be used in front office xVA solutions. The data was generated using short rates from the Hull-White One-Factor model. The best performance was obtained from a GRU neur

Trots att flera initiativ pågår både på nationell och internationell nivå från både den svenska regeringen och EU nTitle: Feasibility of the Implementation of Soft Landings in Sweden Authors: Sebastian Eddin & Nadja Pilav Supervisor: Stefan Olander Examiner: Rikard Sundling Close to 40 percent of global energy use is associated with the construction industry and building-related activities. Although several initiatives are underway both on national and international level from both the Swedish governme

Varför ska kontorsmöbler bli mer cirkulära? Sverige har en stolt historia av att tillverka tidlösa och högkvalitativa kontorsmöbler som underlättar vår arbetsmiljö. Men vad händer med kontorsmöbler när de blir omoderna, nötta eller när verksamheten flyttar och behov förändras? Fullständig statistik saknas på området men mycket tyder på att kontorsmöbler hamnar i en container som sedan går till dThe irresponsible use and premature disposal of office furniture, influenced by current linear business models causes a high environmental impact and depletion of natural resources. Innovative and circular business models can be applied in order to close, narrow and slow down resource loops. Implementation of circular business models nonetheless encounters a number of challenges. The main objectiv

What is ‘bad’ public space? Public spaces have been conceptualized as integral to urban realities. It is virtually impossible to imagine a city, town, village, or any other concentrated settlement without them. It can thus be argued that public spaces are an intrinsic part of cities to the point that a city is not really a city without its public spaces. It is argued that cities need high-quality

Bakgrund: Människan är beroende av sin förmåga att balansera vardagens aktiviteter för att bibehålla god psykisk hälsa. Svårigheter att kombinera studielivet med livets övriga ansvarsområden skulle kunna vara en orsak till att studenter mår allt sämre. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten är att utifrån behovsdimensionerna i Life Balance Model kartlägga forskningen kring universitetsstudenters aBackground: People depend on their ability to balance everyday activities in order to sustain mental well-being. Difficulties to combine university studies with the demands of life’s other responsibilities could be a reason for students' lower well-being. Aim: The aim of the literature study is to review the research on university students’ occupational balance and the consequences on their me

In order to improve companies' and public health organizations' abilities to forecast the future beverage market volumes, it is crucial to identify the determinants of beverage consumption. Based on the market volume panel data from 2005 to 2020, this thesis formulates a fixed-effect model to examine the causal relationship between the population share of young adults and the market volume

If homebirth can offer better outcomes than hospital-birth why do so few French women make this choice? The literature review on birth in France shows an increasing critique of overmedicalization. Through an Ecofeminist approach, conducting a qualitative questionnaire and interviews I found women choosing homebirth seek intimacy, respect and to avoid fear-based protocols and hospitals' violenc

Nanoplaster: Hur ser de ut och är de farliga för vattenlevande organismer? I detta projekt har polylaktid (PLA) brytits ner mekaniskt, för att undersöka om nanoplaster bildas och bestämma vilken storlek de blir. Dessa har sedan använts för att undersöka om de är toxiska för planktonet Daphnia magna. Även fabrikstillverkade PLA-nanopartiklar användes i experimenten. Vi har alla hört talas om plasAs plastic pollution in aquatic environments keeps happening it has become more and more important to learn more about nanoparticles. Bio-based and biologically degradable plastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA), are gaining popularity and it is therefore important to determine whether they break down into nanoplastics or not. Should this be the case, it is of interest to characterize their size,
