BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are known to have a higher risk for a wide range of health conditions compared to the general population. However, there is little research comparing a more comprehensive range of diseases and conditions at different ages. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the overall age-specific diagnostic pattern among people with ID compared

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery is rapidly expanding globally, yet there is insufficient knowledge of how to scale this technology safely and equitably across diverse health systems. We aimed to identify health-system factors associated with safe implementation of minimally invasive surgery globally, using minimally invasive cholecystectomy as a tracer procedure.METHODS: We conducted a mult

The general aim of this dissertation was to reveal how employees in Swedish municipalities were motivated in their job. Three purposes were settled on to meet the aim of the dissertation:1) investigate whether there were differences concerning motivation between employees whohad client-related jobs and employees who did not have client-related jobs, 2) investigate how the employees experienced the

The purpose of this study was to evaluate 10 process-based terrestrial biosphere models that were used for the IPCC fifth Assessment Report. The simulated gross primary productivity (GPP) is compared with flux-tower-based estimates by Jung etal. [Journal of Geophysical Research 116 (2011) G00J07] (JU11). The net primary productivity (NPP) apparent sensitivity to climate variability and atmospheric

Most available methods for synthetic unit hydrograph (SUH) derivation involve manual, subjective fitting of a hydrograph through a few data points. Because of this tedious procedure, the generated unit hydrograph is often left unadjusted for unit runoff volume. During recent decades, use of probability distribution functions (pdfs) in developing SUH has received much attention because of its simil

Popular Abstract in Swedish ”Vardagliga problem hos män med prostata cancer. Upplevelser av problem med att kasta vatten, bära kateter och problem i sexuallivet”. Avhandlingens övergripande syfte var att undersöka förekomsten av vardagliga problem hos män med prostatacancer, problemens relation till livskvalitet, till känsla av sammanhang och relationen mellan dessa faktorer, samt att jämföra medThe aim was to investigate the presence of everyday problems in men with prostate cancer, their relation to health-related quality of life, HRQOL, and sense of coherence, SOC, and to compare with men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH, and a sample from the general population. The aim also was to investigate what nursing care needs there were in men with prostate cancer and how these were met

This report focuses on the use of egress models to assess the optimal strategy in the case of total evacuation in high-rise buildings. A model case study made of two identical twin towers linked with two sky-bridges at different heights has been simulated. The towers are 50 floor high-rise buildings including both vertical and horizontal egress components, namely stairs, occupant evacuation elevat

During the last 15 years questions concerning gender, technology and knowledge, have become increasingly recognized as central to the field of the sociology of technology. Nonetheless, critical questions remain unanswered. These issues are addressed here through investigations of the relationship between gender, work, knowledge and technology. This thesis is composed of an introduction and four in

In Europe, willow (Salix spp.) trees have been used commercially since the 1980s at a large scale to produce renewable energy. While reducing fossil fuel needs, growing short rotation coppices (SRCs), such as poplar or willow, may have a high impact on local air quality as these species are known to produce high amounts of isoprene, which can lead to the production of tropospheric ozone (O3). Here

Skogsbränder - en biologisk gåva eller ett ekonomiskt nederlag? I samband med ett allt varmare klimat, inte minst på de nordliga delarna av jordklotet, ökar även antalet stora skogsbränder i våra svenska skogar. Detta är förödande, inte minst för de skogstokiga svenska folket, utan också för de många skogsägarna och den svenska ekonomin i helhet. På många sätt kan däremot skogsbränderna också sesWith an increasing global temperature, at rates twice as fast as the global average in the northern boreal forests, an increasing wildfire frequency is to be expected. Previous studies have shown that forest areas in Eurasia with high risk of wildfires today are expected to more than double in size in the following 30 years. This will have a great impact on the fire regime, biodiversity, economic

Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis: Studies of Immune Dysregulation Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a disease caused by two specific low-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV), HPV 6 and HPV 11. Benign tumors known as papillomas can grow in the respiratory tracts of patients afflicted with the disease. The papillomas growing in the respiratory tract can disrupt the vocal folds

Detta innebär en ökad mängd armering i vingmuren, viket gör att kostnaden stiger för konstruktionsdelen. Orsaken till denna ökade mängdarmering har studerats i detta examensarbete.Tekniken för att simulera beteWing walls on slab frame integral bridges has traditionally been designed for mainly earth pressure and its self-weight. It has also been designed separately from the rest of the bridge. Traditionally no 3D effects have been considered in the design of the wing walls. The Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) have recently introduced regulations stating that 3D effects must be considered

Offentlig-privat samverkan (OPS) är en ett långvarigt avtal mellan en offentlig beställare och en privat leverantör. Genom avtalet tar den privata parten ett ansvar för projektering, finansiering, byggnation, underhåll och drift av en infrastruktur. I utbyte mot att infrastrukturen byggs och drivs på den privata partens bekostnad betalar den offentliga beställaren en löpande avgift. Ersättningen äPublic private partnership (PPP) is a long-term agreement between a public authority and a private party. According to the agreement, the private party takes the responsibility for the design, financing, construction, maintenance, and operation of an infrastructure. In exchange for building and operating the infrastructure at the expense of the private party, the public authority pays an ongoing c

Cell Death Detection in Images What if we could kill cancer cells? The fact is that we already can, at least to some extent. Many cancer treatments targets cancer cells and kill them by causing them to commit suicide. To be able to do this even better, and minimize adverse effects, information about the biological regulation behind cell death needs to be known, and far from everything has been di

The Yaw Power Backup System (YPBS) is a safety system that needs to be incorporated in the Wind Power Plant (WPP) in order to provide emergency power during a power outage. The YPBS enables the Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) to perform a yawing operation in extreme weather conditions. The yawing operation ensures the rotor is aligned with incoming wind, minimizing the acting forces on the blades and
