Background: Integrated community case management (CCM) has led to reductions in child mortality in Malawi resulting from illnesses such as malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhea. However, adherence to CCM guidelines is often poor, potentially leading to inappropriate clinical decisions and poor outcomes. We determined the impact of an e-CCM app on the referral, reconsultation, and hospitalization rates

Background: To quantify cardiovascular health (CVH), the American Heart Association (AHA) recently launched an updated construct of the “Life's Simple 7” (LS7) score, the “Life's Essential 8” (LE8) score. This study aims to analyse the association between both CVH scores and carotid artery plaques and to compare the predictive capacity of such scores for carotid plaques. Methods: Randomly recruite

Background: Timely and safe elective health care facilitates return to normal activities for patients and prevents emergency admissions. Surgery is a cornerstone of elective care and relies on complex pathways. This study aimed to take a whole-system approach to evaluating access to and quality of elective health care globally, using inguinal hernia as a tracer condition. Methods: This was a prosp

Early detection of Alzheimer's disease is essential to develop preventive treatment strategies. Detectible change in brain volume emerges relatively late in the pathogenic progression of disease, but microstructural changes caused by early neuropathology may cause subtle changes in the MR signal, quantifiable using texture analysis. Texture analysis quantifies spatial patterns in an image, such as

Popular Abstract in Swedish Markfosfor och mångfald av växter i svenska gräsmarker – en populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Olika typer av gräsmarkshabitat innehåller en stor och viktig del av mångfalden av växtarter i Skandinavien och i norra Europa. En stor del av arterna är knutna till kulturlandskapet och des's äldre hävdformer. Förändringar i användning och skötsel av gräsmarkerna under detThe semi-natural grassland habitats contain an important part of the plant diversity in Europe. Changes in farming practices have lead to drastic decreases in plant species richness. The aim of the present thesis is to contribute to the knowledge about mechanisms governing the plant species richness in grasslands with emphasis on soil nutrients. Most species rich grasslands are found on soils with

Slight differences, which appear in the individual animals of the same species and population have been recognised and appreciated ever since Darwin. These consistent intra-specific differences in animals have been considered very important because they are often inherited, and thus, provide the basic material for evolution to act on. This applies also to behavioural characteristics, and thus, to

Background Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer related death worldwide. 20-30 % of patients will develop colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs). Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for CRLMs, and is often combined with perioperative chemotherapy, which can prolong progression-free survival after resection. Moreover, observation of CRLMs response to preoperative chemotherapy can

Background The popularity of tattoos has increased dramatically over the last few decades. Tattoo ink often contains carcinogenic chemicals, e.g., primary aromatic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals. The tattooing process invokes an immunologic response that causes translocation of tattoo ink from the injection site. Deposition of tattoo pigment in lymph nodes has been confirmed

Background: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is a heterogenous autoimmune disease. While traditionally stratified into two conditions, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), the subclassification of ANCA-associated vasculitis is subject to continued debate. Here we aim to identify phenotypically distinct subgroups and develop a da

This is a two-part presentation of a non-traditional transposition and improvisation technique, first demonstrating the transposition practice itself, as I have developed it to date, then demonstrating how I have employed it both in research and in teaching. Transposition of non-musical sources, especially field recordings and incongruent real world sounds from a variety of environments, is a part

Bakterier och alger behöver, såsom andra organismer bl.a. kväve och fosfor för att växa. Dessa näringsämnen är begränsande i naturen men finns i höga koncentrationer i avloppsvatten. Stora mängder näringsämnen i naturen från exempelvis avlopp kan leda till övergödning och obalans i ekosystemen. För att kunna njuta av våra sjöar, åar och bäckar måste avloppsvatten renas, t.ex. genom. biologisk reniMalaysia is one of the most developed countries in Southeast Asia, and strives to be acknowledged as a high income country by the year of 2020. According to Malaysian Environmental Quality (Sewage) Regulations from 2009 there are effluent limitations regarding nutrient emission from wastewater treatment plants. The company responsible for the municipal wastewater treatment, Indah Water Konsortium,

Som en del av en växande trend om en mer hållbar omvärld ställs det allt högre krav på företags ansvar för både miljön och mänskliga rättigheter. Före-tagens arbete med har dock hittills byggt på frivillighet, med OECD:s riktlinjer för multinationella företag och FN:s vägledande principer för företag och mänskliga rättigheter som grundläggande ramverk. EU-kommissionen lämnade i februari år 2022 eAs part of a growing trend towards a more sustainable environment, the demands on corporate responsibility for the environment and human rights are increasing. However, corporate responsibility has so far been based on voluntariness, with the OECD’s guidelines for multinational enterprises and the UN’s guiding principles for business and human rights as the basic frame-work. In February 2022 the E

When humans are involved, things can go wrong. This is a statement as factually true and yet dramatically undefined and dangerously ambiguous as any. No matter the industry or domain, where humans interact with other humans, perfect predictability is impossible and a focus on negative outcomes can seem natural. When outcomes are anything less than ideal and when these events and outcomes are made

Av de 70 000 personerna som blev diagnoserade med cancer i Sverige 2021, fick runt 4000 lungcancer. Lungcancer är vanligen elakartade celler som utgår från lungans slemhinna. Behandling innefattar oftast operation eller strålterapi, ibland i kombination med cellgifter eller immunterapi. Inför strålbehandling gör patienten en röntgenundersökning som ger bilder i tre dimensioner, en så kallad datorPurpose: The purpose of this master thesis was to retrospectively investigate correlation between surface and tumour motion in lung cancer patients, alongside deep learning applications of the results. Additional correlations such as age, tumour volume and anatomical placement of the tumour were also investigated. Materials and Methods: 48 lung cancer patients treated with Stereotactic Body Radia

Denna studie undersöker och besvarar huruvida det är mer värt ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv att renovera ett 50-talshus i originalskick än att bygga ett nytt hus när samma krav på inomhusmiljö ställs. Kraven ställs främst på luftkvalitén, men gäller även värmedistribution och levnadssätt. För att få en generell bild och ett resultat som kan användas i övergripande sammanhang har två alternativa utfThis study examines and answers whether it is more profitable from a financial point of view to renovate a 1950s house in its original condition than to build a new house when the same requirements are made regarding the indoor environment. The demands are primarily set on the air quality, but they also apply to heat distribution and lifestyle/usage. In order to get the big picture and a result wh

Prebiotics are complex carbohydrates that are selectively fermented by beneficial gut bacteria, resulting in the production of health-promoting metabolites, such as organic acids like lactic acid, acetic acid, intermediates for butyrate and propionate. Baobab (Adansonia digitata) fruit contains many small seeds, often used for oil production. It’s by-product, baobab seed press cake, is rich in lig

I 12 kap. 1 § RF stadgas att de statliga förvaltningsmyndigheterna som utgångspunkt lyder under regeringen. Regeringens styrning begränsas samtidigt av att regeringen enligt 12 kap. 2 § RF inte får bestämma hur en förvaltningsmyndighet i ett särskilt fall ska besluta i ett ärende som rör myndighetsutövning mot en enskild eller mot en kommun eller som rör tillämpningen av lag. Hur stort utrymme förChapter 12 Art. 1 of the Instrument of Government (IoG) stipulates that central government administrative authorities, in general, come under the Government. At the same time, the Government’s governance is limited by Ch. 12 Art. 2 of the IoG according to which the Government may not determine how an administrative authority shall decide in a particular case relating to the exercise of public auth
