Background: Patients with Dupuytren disease experience various activity limitations. Treatment aims to reduce finger joint contractures to improve hand function and activity performance. For assessing improvement different patient-centered measures have been used. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was developed as an interview-based outcome measure to detect changes over time in
Background: Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is a hepatobiliary disease closely related to ulcerative colitis (UC). In PSC patients, colectomy has been linked to improved prognosis, especially following liver transplantation. This suggests an involvement of the gut-liver axis in PSC etiology. Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between colectomy and the risk of future PSC in an
Background: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a heterogeneous condition predominantly affecting autonomic control of the cardiovascular system. Its extensive symptom diversity implies multi-organ involvement that interacts in ways still requiring full exploration. Current understanding of POTS pathophysiology suggests alterations in the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system as a p
This project focuses on how a household in Malmö can manage a crisis situation with no electricity, water, heat and communication for 72 hours. This is due to the recommendation that we can take care of ourselves for 3 days in case of a crisis. This spring residents of Cape Town have been living with water restrictions of 50 litres per person per day. This can be compared to the 160 litres per per
This research explores how young audiences in Georgia perceive and engage with Russian Soft Power in the context of the media platform Alt-info. Alt-info is a privately-owned right-wing TV company and online media outlet founded in 2019 in Georgia. The study delves into the complex relationship between Russian Soft Power, the media landscape, and the perspectives of Georgia's youth. Using a c
Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic stellar objects that appear to be younger than the age of the population they come from suggests. They are observed as the extension of the main sequence stars, beyond the turn-off point. They are present in all types of stellar populations, such as open clusters, globular clusters, dwarf galaxies, and even in the open field. It is believed that they form mai
Heterogenous catalysts consist of a large surface area support material applied with the catalytic active phase, and the activity of a catalyst is often correlated to the surface area per volume. Support materials often need to be processed further to be optimal for specific processes. For example, powders can be suitable for minireactors or fluidized-bed reactors. However, in a fixed-bed reactor,
Today there is more people living in urban areas than in rural; this has changed the structure of the cities and resulted in a faster growing slum in the developing world, especially in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). The purpose of this study is to first give a broad overview of slum characters and motivations, and analyze the fact that slum formation is wider in developing countries than in industrial
In the 1940-ies curtain walls were introduced, i.e. brick walls that do not have any bearing function but served as a front material. Horizontal reinforcement was used in this kind of walls, partly over and under openings or, in undisturbed wall fields, every 5-6th bed joint. In this work the tensile bond strength of mortar joints repaired with an injection tool and a manual method respectively is
Post-Materialism is a theory introduced in the 1970's. Post-Materialism is set of values that is stated to have changed, foremost in industrial countries. This shift in values is predicted to lead to changes in attitudes, actions and the social structure, because those who prioritize Post-Materialist values are suggested to think and identify themselves differently. In this thesis, changes in
I januari 2008 trädde två nya lagar ikraft i Sverige. Lagen (2007:978) om hemlig rumsavlyssning gav de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna rätten att använda en ny metod, rumsavlyssning för att utreda redan begångna brott och lagen (2007:979) om åtgärder för att förhindra vissa särskilt allvarliga brott introducerade en möjlighet för myndigheterna att använda hemliga tvångsmedel som teleavlyssning, telIn January 2008 two new legislations entered into force in Sweden. The law (2007:978) on bugging gave the crime fighting authorities the right to use a new method, bugging, to investigate already committed crimes and the law (2007:979) on measures to prevent particularly serious crimes introduced a possibility for the authorities to use secret surveillance as telephone tapping, wire monitoring, fi
Multimodal user interfaces or interfaces that involve the user with several senses could greatly improve usability and accessibility. A mobile phone contains several hardware technologies such as accelerometers, touch screens and vibrators that can be used to support a multimodal user interface, but these capabilities are seldom used. In this thesis multimodal interaction and how two-dimensional
Background: High gluten and low dietary fiber in pregnancy intake is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (CeD) in the child. Early life higher dietary quality is suggested to reduce the subsequent risk of CeD. Objectives: The aim was to investigate associations of pregnancy dietary quality and diversity with child risk of CeD. Methods: In The Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Coho
Aims: To estimate the proportion eligible for lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) when using the systemic coronary risk estimation 2 (SCORE2) on apparently healthy individuals. Methods and results: Individuals aged 50-64 years were randomly invited to The Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage Study (n = 30 154). Participants with previous atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus, or chr

Water and Sustainability (5 ETCS) Water is one of the most essential substances on Earth. It flows through cultures and history – allowing cities and civilisations to flourish, but sometimes also threatening them. Water is a central resource, fundamental to our bod- ies, human life, and ecosystems. Water gives life and takes life. It can be used for the good and for the bad: for technical developm
