Background: The incidence of lower urinary tract infection (LUTI) in men visiting primary healthcare (PHC) is low. Hence, GPs do not diagnose and treat men with LUTI very often. Previous studieshave shown that adherence to treatment guidelines regarding LUTI in men is low. There is limitedknowledge concerning why guidelines are not adhered to.Aim: To gain knowledge on GPs’ experiences and concerns
The presentation is based on the theoretical model for sustainable working life for all ages (swAge). The swAge model includes the complex picture of factors and areas of importance to work life participation. In the model, different ageing concepts is related to the nine areas of importance for individuals perspective of work life participation and the four consideration areas to if individuals c
Autoantibody-mediated diseases comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders in which the pathogenic potential of autoantibodies has been clearly demonstrated. In general, their treatment relies on the long-term use of systemic corticosteroids and other immunosuppressants that are associated with considerable adverse reactions. EndoS, an endoglycosidase derived from Streptococcus pyogenes, specifica
Electron mean free path (MFP) was determined by the angular resolved photoemission in 10-40 eV energy range for GaAs(100)-c(4 x 4) by the overlayer method. The investigation was based on the attenuation of the normal photoemission intensity of the Al 2p line from the molecular-beam-epitaxy grown GaAlAs layer buried four monolayers of GaAs below the surface. The energy dependence of the MFP shows a
The article consists of six core sections. Firstly, it argues for examining the language, origin, use and meaning of key concepts when seeking to understand historical perspectives. Secondly, is a concrete investigation of three concepts related to the French Revolution: ‘historical monument’, ‘vandalism’, and ‘heritage’. Thirdly, it describes how ‘historical monument’ was replaced by ‘heritage’ a
Micol Mieli, doctoral student “My main research area is tourism and in particular tourists’ relationship with technology." “My main research area is tourism and in particular tourists’ relationship with technology. Right now I am studying the role of smartphones in the tourist experience. I am really interested in research methodologies and trying to experiment with different methods in my researc
This master thesis work was performed in collaboration with BioGaia AB, a Swedish biotech- company producing probiotic supplements containing the bacteria Limosilactobacillus reuteri. The products provided by BioGaia contain live microorganisms. Therefore, a method suitable for the correct enumeration of living cells is crucial in probiotic samples and today the so-called plate count method is use
The aim of this knowledge compilation is to contribute with know-ledge about the work environment in relation to the ever-older workforce. How do employee needs and possibilities change from a course of life perspective? What should the employer and other work environment actors think about in order for the workforce to be able to and want to work to a high age? The Swedish Work Environment Author
IGF-1 is an essential regulator of fetal growth and brain development. Preterm birth in the human is followed by a rapid decrease in serum levels of IGF-1 and decreased levels of IGF-1 have been associated with development of severemorbidity. A recent clinical trial indicated that supplementation with IGF-1 prevented development of severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extremely preterm infa
En mycket vanlig behandlingsteknik vid cancer är strålbehandling. Tekniken har utvecklats snabbt de senaste åren och idag uppnås millimeterprecision för många behandlingsområden. Därmed har behovet av att kunna kompensera för rörelser under behandlingen ökat. I detta arbete undersöktes möjligheten att låta strålgången följa tumören med en teknik som kallas MLC-tracking. Strålbehandling började a"Purpose: To investigate the geometric accuracy of MLC-tracking using a circular field, and to investigate the dosimetric accuracy for inversely optimized arc delivery to a moving target. This is done for two different MLCs and for varying plan complexity. Materials and methods: For investigating the geometric accuracy, a marker was placed on a motion platform while the MLC set to shape a ci
- here is a selection of their thoughts on the Pufendorf IAS Since 2009, the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies has welcomed hundreds of interdisciplinary groups and thousands of researchers from Lund University. Here we have collected a selection of quotes and links to news articles that all, in different ways, convey messages from researchers to researchers. One researcher's words about th

In this paper, the moral duty towards asylum seekers and refugees in the EU is highlighted, from the perspectives of Universalism and Communitariarism. Due to different levels of safety and conditions related to being granted asylum in EU member states, the attractiveness of these states for asylum seekers and refugees to seek protection differ substantially. The implementation of the Dublin II Co
Shopping malls are a global phenomenon, and as such they reach a degree of local iconicity simply by being malls. One of the main roles shopping malls play in our everyday lives is nurturing social interactions. Shopping malls have been portrayed by many scholars as places where people go to practice consumer religion (Fiske, 1989; Ritzer, 1999; Zepp, 1997), prime temples which glorify consumption
Recent studies have highlighted how building resilience to ‘shrinking’ episodes, as opposed to increasing growth rates, appears to be the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to between-country income convergence. All economies seem to be able to grow, but few countries have been able to drastically improve their shrinking patterns, which has underpinned the divergence often argued in literat
The purpose of this study is to deepen and nuance the understanding of employees’ perception of acquisitions involving professional service firms, consultancy firms in particular. The theoretical framework is divided into three sections. Initially, Organizational Identity is presented, followed by Social Identity Theory and lastly Image. The collected material consists of data from seven interview
