This study aimed to explore the role of medical social workers during acute crises in somatic healthcare settings. A qualitative research design was used, based on semi-structured interviews with hospital-based workers. Thematic analysis was employed to explore the expectations placed on health social workers during acute crises. The findings showed that social workers play a multifaceted role, ma

Banker och andra företag handlar en oerhörd stor mängd finansiella kontrakt mellan varandra. Att fel uppstår i dessa kontrakt är oundvikligt, och denna studie undersöker hur AI kan användas för att hitta dessa fel. När två parter gör upp en derivataffär - ett skräddarsytt kontrakt som tillgodoser specifika ändamål - hanteras ofta affären manuellt i separata system hos de olika parterna. Denna proThis thesis explores the use of machine learning to detect anomalies in OTC derivatives. The purpose is to evaluate whether machine learning can be used in a new domain within the financial industry and to investigate whether anomaly detection can enhance the portfolio reconciliation process. The study compares three different approaches to anomaly detection: logistic regression, isolation forest

This study explored how midwives and healthcare counselors in Sweden support women experiencing fear of childbirth, with a focus on how they balance patients' preferences with medical guidelines and their influence in determining the mode of delivery. The method chosen was qualitative, semi-structured interviews with midwives and healthcare counselors from specialized maternity support teams w

Attempted suicide is the single greatest risk factor for a future suicide attempt, and suicide remains a major global health challenge. A recent addition to therapeutic methods for suicide prevention is the "Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program" (ASSIP), which is currently being studied within psychiatric healthcare in Sweden. This study aimed to explore professionals’ experience

The purpose of the study was to investigate how patients with long-term pain experience mindfulness as part of their treatment. By highlighting patients' experiences and perspectives, the study aimed to explore what opportunities the use of mindfulness offers for patients with long-term pain. We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with six patients suffering from lon

This study aimed to examine how language use in specialist psychiatric care within Region Skåne constructs and influences attitudes toward and treatment of patients with personality disorders. From a critical discourse analytical perspective, the study sought to highlight how healthcare professionals use and understand various terms, how this language shapes patients’ experiences, and how language

This study analyzes the transition to mechanized forest management and the implementation of sustainable-yields forestry in Sweden during the 1950s and 1960s. The objective is to produce insights that are relevantfor policymakers working with forests and the climate transition today. The analysis focuses on how the Swedish National Association of Forest Owners’ Associations (SSR)—an association or

Utvecklares kodändringar testas kontinuerligt för att undvika nya buggar. Med växande kodbaser och team ökar både antalet tester och testfrekvensen kraftigt. Det leder till en exponentiell ökning av testarbete. Konsekvensen blir både långsamma processer och höga kostnader. För att snabba på kodtestning utan att släppa igenom kodbuggar har vi tränat ett antal maskininlärningsmodeller att förutspå vTest Case Prioritization and Selection (TCPS) methods aim to order or select tests to minimize test execution time without significantly reducing test coverage. In collaboration with a System Analysis Team at Arm, this project demonstrated machine learning-driven prioritization in an industrial Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline, using predictive models to optimize test execution. The team runs

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the spatiotemporal dynamics of water quality in Lake Bolmen, southern Sweden, based on high-resolution monitoring data (2022–2024) from five regions. Key parameters—including temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential, and chlorophyll fluorescence—were assessed using data analysis method inclu

I den här uppsatsen har jag tittat på den svenska grundlagen genom en processrättslig lins med förhoppningen om nya insikter och perspektiv vad gäller vår demokrati och vårt rättssystem. I regeringsformens fjärde kapitel stadgas att riksdagen ska ge sitt medgivande för att åtal ska kunna väckas mot en riksdagsledamot för gärningar och yttranden som han eller hon har begått under utövandet av uppdrIn this thesis, I have studied the Swedish Constitution through a procedural law lens with the hope of gaining new insights and perspectives on our democracy and our legal system. Chapter 4 of the Instrument of Government provides that the Swedish Parliament must give its consent to the prosecution of a Member of Parliament for acts and statements committed in the exercise of his or her office. Th

Intern upphandling utgör ett undantag från den grundläggande skyldigheten att konkurrensutsätta offentliga kontrakt och får endast tillämpas när vissa kriterier är uppfyllda. Ett av dessa är verksamhetskriteriet, som innebär att minst 80 procent av den upphandlade enhetens verksamhet ska rikta sig mot den upphandlande myndigheten. Kriteriet syftar till att säkerställa att den inre marknadens grundIn-house exemption constitutes an exception to the fundamental obligation to subject public contracts to competitive tendering and may only be applied when certain criteria are met. One of these is the activity criterion, which requires that at least 80 percent of the procured entity’s activities are directed toward the contracting authority. The purpose of this criterion is to ensure that the fun

This study explores how Thai women in Sweden, working in the massage and wellness sector and members of the ThaiWISE initiative, navigate social stigma and negotiates their identities in the context of migration. Drawing on five semi-structured interviews, the study examines how these women manage the persistent association between Thai femininity and sex work, despite working in safe and regulate

BACKGROUND: Opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) may enhance postoperative recovery after bariatric surgery, but its combined effect with opioid-free interventions has not been studied.OBJECTIVES: To compare postoperative pain and recovery after laparoscopic bariatric surgery with a total opioid-free care pathway and conventional opioid-based treatment.DESIGN: A multicentre nonblinded controlled trial.SE

The formation of a lipid vesicle from a lamellar phase involves a cost in bending energy of 100–1000 times the thermal energy for values of the membrane bending rigidity κ typical for phospholipid bilayers. The bending rigidity of a bilayer is however a strongly decreasing function of its thickness h, and the bilayer can thus reduce its bending energy by stretching (and thus thinning) the bilayer.

Studying how single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) crosstalk with non-autologous factors to cause complex autoimmune diseases is challenging. An amino acid replacement in the neutrophil cytosolic factor 1 (NCF1-339/NCF1R90H) leading to lower reactive oxygen species induction has been reported as the major SNP for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here we show that infection with the murine noro

The curve number (CN) method, developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), is one of the most widely used approaches worldwide to estimate runoff from rainfall events. However, one of the remaining uncertainties in the method remains whether to apply a frequency-matched or natural data approach for computing the CN from rainfall-runoff data. To address this knowledge gap, this s

Pathogenic mycobacteria require the conserved ESX-1 type VII secretion system to cause disease. In a murine Mycobacterium marinum infection model we previously demonstrated that infiltrating monocytes and neutrophils represent the major bacteria-harbouring cell populations in infected tissue. In the current study we use this model, in combination with scRNA sequencing, to assess the impact of M. m

Identifying specific inhibitors of the MYC oncogene has been challenging, due to off target effects associated with MYC inhibition. This study investigated how the recombinant Escherichia coli Lon protease (rLon), which targets MYC in human cells, inhibits MYC over-activation in models of infection and cancer. In silico predictions identified specific peptide domains of bacterial Lon that target M
