Personalized patient care has gained increasing attention in recent years. Precise drug dosing is critical for patient safety and good clinical outcomes, especially in intensive care units, where patients often are in critical conditions. Such treatments can include stabilizing blood pressure and heart rate or maintaining safe anesthesia levels. However, the inter-patient variability in the drug r
Background: Words are a natural way to describe mental states in humans, while numerical values are a convenient and effective way to carry out quantitative psychological research. With the growing interest of researchers in gaming disorder, the number of screening tools is growing. However, they all require self-quantification of mental states. The rapid development of natural language processing
If an atom of the host lattice in silicon is replaced by an atom belonging to the fifth group in the periodic table, the potential binding the extra electron to the impurity atom can, in most cases, be approximated by a hydrogen-like potential. 1 This gives rise not only to an energy level in the band gap for the impurity ground state, but, in addition, also to a series of excited states. In silic
Introduction: Ovarian cancer is a lethal disease with low survival rates for women diagnosed in advanced stages. Current cancer immunotherapies are not efficient in ovarian cancer, and there is therefore a significant need for novel treatment options. The β-galactoside-binding lectin, Galectin-3, is involved in different immune processes and has been associated with poor outcome in various cancer
I september 2022 blev den elev som dödat två lärare på Malmö Latinskola den första 18-åringen att dömas till livstids fängelse. Tova Bennet, juris doktor i straffrätt, menar att målet har flera aspekter som kan motivera en prövning i högsta instans.
This article critically examines the dual role of the Georgian Orthodox Church (GOC) as both a cultural guardian of national identity and a barrier to covenantal pluralism in Georgia. Drawing on legal-financial and comparative-historical analysis, it demonstrates how the GOC’s institutional dominance perpetuates systemic inequalities, including disproportionate state funding, inequitable property
This thesis is about predicting the average ten minute closing bid price of the USD/SEK exchange rate by applying deep learning methods. First, the time lag method is applied for the vanilla Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) to undertake one-step prediction. Secondly, three univariate Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models are used to undertake one-step and multi-step prediction. Each network is theo
Exposure to skin sensitizers on a daily basis has been leading to a high prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) among the general population. Single substances have been thoroughly studied for their skin sensitizing potential, yet little is known about the cellular mechanisms of so-called “cocktail effects” of mixtures. It has been suggested that induction of oxidative stress, and more re
Knowledge about thermal properties of nanoscale graphite is essential in order to realize the many promising applications of carbon based nanomaterials. This thesis reports how samples of thin graphite films on nickel substrates were investigated using time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TRXD) at the FemtoMAX beamline at the MAX IV facility. Through these investigations the thermal conductivity of th
What goes into the development and production of a modern backpack for off- piste skiing? How is a backpack made and what is right now requested on the market? A skiers backpack is a project about making a new off-piste skiing backpack for the Swedish brand Fjällräven. It combines the values of the Swedish brand with my own thoughts about how a product like this should be and function. Th
The social and environmental impacts associated with corporate water use and discharge in Kazakhstan is historically high, and in certain watershed pose a significant threat to the health of the local communities and ecosystems. Today the industries are consuming almost a third of freshwater and remain one of the biggest polluters in the country. The situation is aggravated with the changing clima
In recent years, the global problem of plastic waste has received increasing attention. Plastic waste is frequently traded good and is often exported to countries which mismanage large proportions of their waste. By investigating Germany’s imports and exports to a selection of countries this study finds that the German recycling system has flaws in the area of plastic waste. Due to the fact that p
