The financial assistance department of social service organisations is a department where variations in experiences and perspectives regarding the work are apparent. Social workers in this department are the primary practitioners and enforcers of decisions regarding applicants’ cases, making their perspectives and understanding of the knowledge they use valuable to have insight into, and to gain s

Degradations in Poland are sometimes made on an individual basis. Most often, however, they are the result of large-scale administrative reforms. Throughout history, the Polish lands were subject to many such reforms. Relatively little-known is the Polish reform of 1933–1934, which – depending on the definition of ‘city’ – degraded up to 722 units with some form of urban denominator. The modest no

Introduction: Whether data on International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-codes from the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) correctly correspond to subtypes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and phenotypes of the Montreal classification scheme among patients with prevalent disease is unknown.Materials and methods: We obtained information on IBD subtypes and phenotypes from the medical re

Background - Correct blood group typing is the cornerstone of transfusion medicine. In patients whose gastrointestinal wall is compromised, bacterial enzymes can cause deacetylation of blood group A, converting N-acetylgalactosamine to galactosamine, which resembles the B-defining galactose. This acquired B (acqB) phenomenon, first described 1959, can lead to blood grouping errors. Herein, we expl

Popular science: Public transport plays an important role in enabling people to move from one place to another. The provision of information related to public transportation enables travelers to pre-plan their journeys and even save time that would have been spent asking around or looking for this information from other sources. The city of Nairobi has a population of about four million people, mo

After much work and a long time after its instigation, a legislation regulating insolvency law in the European Union finally saw the light of day in 2002. Its 47 articles and 33 recitals establish jurisdiction, choice of law as well as recognition, in cross-border insolvencies within the EU and with this new legislation came a new expression to the legal area, namely 'centre of main interests&

Personal computers (PC) have become an indispensable product in modern life. Along with the growing volume of computers, the environmental burden and impact at the end-of-life phase known as e-waste become significant. Considering the material-intensive nature of the production of computers, and the environmental burdens caused by landfills, incinerations and improper recycling activities, persona

OBJECTIVE: In the era of genome-wide association studies, familial risks are used to estimate disease heritability and the likelihood of candidate-gene identification. This study was undertaken to estimate associations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with any of 33 autoimmune diseases and related conditions among parents and offspring, singleton siblings, twins, and spouses.METHODS: The Multigenerati

BACKGROUND: Even though trust is placed at the central point in ensuring proper functioning of the health systems, studies remain scant on how it affects both the implementation and uptake of COVID-19 response measures in low- and middle-income countries such as Tanzania. This study, therefore, explored the role of trust in the implementation and uptake of recommended COVID-19 response measures in

Owing to their millisecond-scale temporal resolution, magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) are well-suited tools to study dynamic functional connectivity between regions in the human brain. However, current techniques to estimate functional connectivity from MEG/EEG are based on a two-step approach; first, the MEG/EEG inverse problem is solved to estimate the source activi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Egenskaperna hos de material som utgör och omger oss, som t.ex. färg, struktur och kemiska egenskaper, bestäms av hur elektronerna som är en del av dess byggstenar, atomerna, är strukturerade. Ett sätt att undersöka elektronstrukturen är med hjälp den fotoelektriska effekten. Ljus, elektromagnetiska fält, kan beskrivas som en ström av ljuspartiklar, fotoner, som alla bä

Induction machines have been used in a wide range of applications due to its robustness and its low price. These characteristics make the induction machine a suitable option for industrial and home environments especially for those applications where the required speed is constant and the load does not change drastically. As an alternative to the induction machine, the synchronous machine, particu

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. The availability of prophylactic vaccines for high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection represents an important advancement in the prevention of cervical cancer. In Jordan, the availability of the HPV vaccination is restricted to individuals who are willing to pay. The aim of the current study was to ev

Ett förändrat klimat med mer intensiva regn och längre torrperioder har gjort sötvatten till en alltmer värdefull och sårbar resurs. Vattenbrist förekommer i dag i många delar av världen, även i områden där det tidigare inte varit ett problem, såsom i Sverige. Minskad vattenan-vändning kan bidra till att reducera efterfrågan, men endast upp till en viss gräns. För att säkerställa en långsiktig och
