Emergency department (ED) wait times can be long, and not all patients can safely wait for treatment. Therefore, an effective emergency triage system is required to prioritize patients according to the urgency of their condition upon arrival at the ED. Assessing a patient’s level of urgency without access to complete physiological measurements is a complex task that is currently performed by nurse

Current structural fire engineering practice generally assumes that the pre-flashover fire (growth) stage has a negligible influence on structural response and therefore considers only post-flashover conditions. The Eurocode parametric fire, widely used for structural fire design, follows this approach. This thesis investigates the influence of incorporating pre-flashover temperature on the therma

Player Re-Identification (Re-ID) is a fundamental component for comprehensive team sports analysis. However, applying traditional 2D appearance-based trackers presents unique challenges, as confined courts, complex tactics, and highly similar team uniforms cause severe mutual occlusions and frequent identity switches. Furthermore, erratic player movements and image degradation severely compromise

In paediatric hospital wards, parents or caregivers who are physically capable are already present with their child when a fire emergency occurs. Yet existing approaches to hospital evacuation have either overlooked their potential role or treated them as additional occupants for staff to manage. If these caregivers could evacuate independently with their child, staff could direct their efforts to

Evidence is limited for the association between parental income during childhood and adolescence and the subsequent risk of drug use disorder (DUD) in the second generation and whether the association is modified by region of origin. Identifying the association and effect modification by immigrant background and region of origin would provide an important knowledge base to consider tailored polici

This paper investigates how voluntary sustainability commitments shape lenders’ integration of biodiversity risks into credit allocation, comparing UNEP FI–committed and non-committed lenders. Using global syndicated loan data (2018–2023) matched with firm-level measures of biodiversity impact and dependency, we find that all lenders extend smaller loans to more biodiversity-dependent firms. consi

This paper examines whether biodiversity and climate risks are reflected in equity returns and how investor attention affects the pricing dynamics. Using firm-level indicators of biodiversity impact, dependency, and climate transition and physical risks, we form long-short portfolios based on firms’ environmental exposure. We find that low-risk firms earn higher abnormal returns than high-risk fir

Using a unique dataset that defines sustainability initiatives as concrete firm-level sustainability actions, this study examines firms’ biodiversity-related initiatives, their links to underlying biodiversity risks, and whether financial markets value them. We find that biodiversity-related initiatives are concentrated in community engagement activities, such as marketing campaigns and donations.

I ett individualiserat och sekulariserat samhälle har frågor om mening, gemenskap och psykologiskt välmående aktualiserats inom såväl forskning som samhällsdebatt. Självtranscendens har föreslagits som en möjlig psykologisk resurs i denna kontext, men har i begränsad utsträckning undersökts i relation till kollektiv samhörighet och välmående i en svensk population. Syftet med föreliggande studie vIn increasingly individualised and secularised societies, questions of meaning, social connectedness, and psychological well-being have gained attention in both research and public discourse. Self-transcendence has been proposed as a potential psychological resource in this context but has rarely been examined in relation to collective belonging and well-being within a Swedish population. The aim

On Rednote, a social media platform for lifestyle and interests in China, users often describe some public comment sections as having 活人感 (huó rén gǎn, liveliness), a feeling that someone has personally invested effort and left perceivable traces in what is said. Voice comments have become a visible component of this interactional environment. I explored how asynchronous voice comments are used in

This thesis explores audience engagement within the dark romance genre, using the Cat and Mouse Duet as a case study. Through discussions with readers, we aimed to explore underlying motivations for engagement and dive deeper into the genre as a whole. As dark romance has only recently solidified its position as a subgenre, previous research has mostly focused on regular romance. In the past decad

Title: Design and Development of a Digital RAM Tool for AUVs Authors: Oscar Cedell and Jacob Persson Supervisors: Johan Marklund (LTH), Gustav Rehnborg (Saab Naval), and Niklas Blomgren (Saab Naval) Problem description: Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are longlife, mission-critical systems for which life cycle cost is strongly affected by Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RA

Background: The shift from product based to service oriented economies has transformed business strategies, particularily in B2B contexts, where value creation increasingly relies on integrated service offerings. Digitalization, especially through cloud based infrastructure models such as CPaaS, has accelerated this transition, by enabling scalable real time solutions. As a result, companies face

This thesis has researched how analytical tools can be used to assist in balancing supply and demand at the global telecommunications company Ericsson. The project stems from a need to manage demand uncertainty in Sales and Operations Planning in order to make scenario analysis both standardized and data-driven. Consequently, the purpose was to develop a practical scenario planning framework and t

Numerous patients with psoriasis will associate disease triggers to changes in disease activity over time. Modern treatments induce remission, but relapse is common if the treatment is stopped. Exploring patients' first-hand experiences is a key starting point to identify triggers that may influence disease relapse. A cross-sectional digital questionnaire was distributed to 2716 individuals with p

In the heart of every physical theory lies measurement theory. While classical measurements are passive probes, QMs can be viewed as active physical processes that shape the available information. Depending on the measurement type, different aspects of the information about a system are retrieved. All possible measurements in quantum physics are described by mathematical objects called Positive Op

Den statliga järnvägsinfrastrukturen är central för Sveriges transportsystem men är samtidigt resurs- och kostnadskrävande att anlägga och underhålla. Räler är en särskilt betydelsefull komponent eftersom de har lång teknisk livslängd och tillverkas av energikrävande stål. Skillnader i belastning och slitage inom järnvägsnätet innebär att räler som tas ur drift i vissa delar av anläggningen i andrThe state owned railway infrastructure is central to Sweden’s transport system but is at the same time resource and cost intensive to construct and maintain. Rails constitute a particularly significant component, as they have a long technical service life and are manufactured from energy intensive steel. Variations in load and wear across the railway network men that rails taken out of service in

The number and complexity of modern software systems have increased substantially since their inception. This unrelenting growth is making manual code review more difficult year by year, and the gap between the amount of code and security verification creates a critical need for automated tools that can assist developers in detecting vulnerabilities. A possible solution to this is large language m
