Popular Abstract in Swedish FN:s barnkonvention formulerar barns och ungas behov i termer av mänskliga rättigheter. Sverige ratificerade konventionen efter ett beslut i riksdagen den 21 juni 1990, utan att reservera sig på någon punkt. Konventionens budskap kan sammanfattas i tre ord: Barn skall respekteras. Vuxna skall se barnet, sträva efter att förstå det och vidta åtgärder som bedöms vara tillThe main purpose was to investigate children's participation in the decision-making processes in health care. Twenty-four children (0-18 år)admitted to hospital, their parents, and the staff present were observed during totally 135 hours in order to (i) identify the children's needs, (ii) their participation in the decision-making processes, and (iii) their parents' participation. Twenty-six child

There is an urgent need to start generating energy within cities in order to pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient society. Renewable energy by means of active solar energy systems (solar thermal, ST and/or photovoltaics, PV) can be generated using roofs and facades of buildings. In this study, the annual solar energy potential of typical Swedish city blocks was analysed in order to de

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the pharmacokinetics, tolerability and effect on endocrinology of bicalutamide given as once-daily monotherapy at doses of > 150 mg to patients with locally advanced (MO) or metastatic (M1) prostate cancer, with efficacy as a secondary endpoint. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were initially enrolled to receive bicalutamide 300 mg in a non-randomized phase, after which further

Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 confer high risks of breast and ovarian cancer, but the average magnitude of these risks is uncertain and may depend on the context. Estimates based on multiple-case families may be enriched for mutations of higher risk and/or other familial risk factors, whereas risk estimates from studies based on cases unselected for family history have been imprecise. We p

This paper focuses on an emerging manufacturing technology called Additive Manufacturing (AM) and its potential to become a more efficient and cleaner manufacturing alternative. This work is built around selected case companies, where the benefit of AM compared to other more traditional technologies is studied through the comparison of resource consumption. The resource consumption is defined as r

Objective:: Our aim was to explore the presence of symptoms, symptom relief, and other key aspects of palliative care during the final week of life among older people residing in nursing homes. Method:: Our study employed data from the Swedish Palliative Care Register on all registered individuals aged 60 and older who had died in nursing homes during the years 2011 and 2012. Variables pertaining

We present a vertical nanowire InAs/GaAsSb/GaSb TFET with a highly scaled InAs diameter (20 nm). The device exhibits a minimum subthreshold swing of 48 mV/dec. for Vds = 0.1-0.5 V and achieves an Ion = 10.6 μA/μm for Ioff = 1 nA/μm at Vds = 0.3 V. The lowest subthreshold swing achieved is 44 mV/dec. at Vds= 0.05 V. Furthermore, a benchmarking is performed against state-of-the-art TFETs and MOSFETs

The number of patients affected by Alzheimer's disease among the population is currently growing, while the availability of resources for their assistance is decreasing. A solution for this problem is provided by the use of Ambient Assisted Living technologies, with the objectives to prolong the independent living of patients at home, to relieve assistance burden on caregivers, and to improve care

Background: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a biomarker for arterial stiffness, clinically assessed by applanation tonometry (AT). Increased use of phase-contrast cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging allows for PWV assessment with minor routine protocol additions. The aims were to investigate the acquired temporal resolution needed for accurate and precise measurements of CMR-PWV, and develop a t

Introduction: Dried blood spot sampling is an alternative way to conventional blood sampling that could potentially be a large benefit for certain patient groups. A good example is the transplanted patient group treated with the immunosuppressants everolimus and sirolimus. Background: The challenge is to develop a reliable quantification method based on this relatively novel sampling technique.

In the coming decades, the twin energy and digital transitions will require the rapid scaling and deployment of renewable energy technologies and advanced technologies within ‘critical raw materials’ (CRMs) are essential components. At the same time, as CRM reserves are heterogeneously distributed, concentrated in a few countries with refining in even fewer still, demand is expected to outstrip su

De flesta människor kommer någon gång under sina liv att uppleva en traumatisk händelse, vilket kan öka risken för att utveckla allvarliga psykiatriska tillstånd som exempelvis depression och posttraumatiska stress (PTS) symtom, samt påverka olika aspekter av individens liv och fungerande. En aspekt av livet som många värdesätter högt är föräldraskap och därmed är det viktigt att undersöka hur traMost people will at some point in their lives experience a traumatic event, and for some, this may increase the risk of developing serious psychiatric disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms and can affect their functioning in many aspects of their lives. One aspect of life that many people value highly is parenting, and it is therefore important to investigate how tr

Background: Guidelines discourage prediction of neurological outcome in comatose patients within the first 72 h after cardiac arrest. Increasing evidence suggests that patients with the most severe brain injury and those with no or minimal brain injury may be identified before 72 h using novel methods. We present a protocol for the EARLY-NEURO study, which aims to evaluate whether good and poor ou

BACKGROUND: In Southeast-Asia, where many conditions associated with dissemination of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) in the community are met, data from the community are scarce but show high ESBL-E carriage prevalence. Maternal ESBL-E colonization is considered a risk factor for neonatal colonization, which is the first step towards developing neonatal sepsis. Despite this, ESBL-E carri

Intraosseous (IO) access is normally reserved for emergencies and critical care conditions when venous cannulation is not possible. Nonetheless, we present a case of IO insertion to a 56-year-old man, tetraplegic for many years due to progressive spinal muscular atrophy and with refractory suffering. The IO access was used for palliative sedation with propofol in a home care setting. The patient d

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide. Metastasis is the main reason for death in breast cancer, and today, there is a lack of methods to detect and isolate circulating tumor cells (CTCs), mainly due to their heterogeneity and rarity. There are some systems that are designed to detect rare epithelial cancer cells in whole blood based on the most common marker used today, the epi
