Introduction: Over the past two decades, there has been a shift from concealing diagnoses of sex development from impacted people to the broad principle of age-appropriate disclosure. This change is consistent with children’s rights and with general shifts towards giving children medical information and involving patients in medical decision-making. The present paper examines how health profession

Remote homology detection among proteins utilizing only the unlabelled sequences is a central problem in comparative genomics. The existing cluster kernel methods based on neighborhoods and profiles and the Markov clustering algorithms are currently the most popular methods for protein family recognition. The deviation from random walks with inflation or dependency on hard threshold in similarity

PurposeTo develop an application for the Pentacam HR for the purpose of optimising the accuracy of the diagnosis of progressive keratoconus.MethodsMeasurements were performed on one randomised eye in twenty-five subjects with keratoconus Stage 1-2 according to the Amsler-Krumeich classification on two occasions, three days apart. Four replicate measurements were made by a single examiner on each o

Almost half of all divorced Swedes are aged 60+ and many of them are, or have been, part of a reconstituted family. This increases the probability of having (or to be a) bonus/step-grandchild and raises the question: How does the caregiving dynamic between bonus-grandparents and bonus-grandchildren intersect with gender and life situation, unraveling the intricate threads that weave through familiAlmost half of all divorced Swedes are aged 60+ and many of them are, or have been, part of a reconstituted family.

OBJECTIVE: To analyse survival rates and causes of death in adults with spina bifida in Sweden compared with a matched control group.DESIGN AND METHODS: This population-based study included 11,900 adults born between 1950 and 1997. Three national Swedish registers were used to identify individuals with a diagnosis of spina bifida and a matched control group without spina bifida in the period 1990-

The aim of this study was to give insights on the effects of an industrially relevant kilning method, with a focus on lipase inactivation and oat-base production. Storage of non-kilned, dehulled oat kernels in either room temperature or at 37 °C for up to 64 days led to increasing lipase activity with time, despite a decrease in moisture content and water activity, demonstrating the importance of

Recently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally. One clear example of this is the increased prevalence of wildfires in recent years and increasing wildfire potentialRecently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally.

Many locations in Indonesia such as small islands and remote villages on the main islands are not connected to the main electricity grid, and may never be as they are too remote for grid extensions to be economically justifiable. Therefore, many either do not have electricity or are dependent on expensive diesel transports to fuel their stand alone, diesel powered mini-grids.

Access to water is a necessity for farmers for them to be able to produce food. This poses a problem in Jordan, one of the world’s driest countries, but also in Sweden, where after a drought in the summer of 2018 the state of the water levels was more critical than ever. Virtual reality (VR) has shown to be a tool with a good effect on students’ learning. In this work VR has been taken advantage o

Identifying and keeping track of different structural representations of functionally overlapping issues is important in order to keep a well maintained issue management corpus, establishing efficient and organized response ability to develop and code software patches repairing these issues and defects. This is normally achieved by manual, time-costly reviewing-processes by special teams put up to

Background: The Andean indigenous philosophy known as Buen Vivir or Sumak Kawsay, loosely translated into Good Living or Well Living, is rarely studied within the field of public health. The studied philosophy has been institutionalized in Bolivian and Ecuadorian constitutions, why it sets the agenda for health in the Andean region. The ongoing progression of the health definition, combined with gThis study has looked upon how a philosophy called Sumak Kawsay or Buen Vivir explains what health means. The studied philosophy has its origins in the Andes in Latin America. The reason why this study was done came from the writers wish to understand what the philosophy meant, and how it could be used within public health-work. The writer thought that it is important to include different explanat

The use of land in the Swedish city of Lund is a question that has attracted a lot of attention in the last couple of years. The city is in need of expansion but ideas of where and how to accomplish this has differed until the release of the latest general plan which dictates that all major developments should be realized by densification. The city is surrounded by high value farmland which needs

This ‘Automatic Test System (ATS) for Network Servers’ Master Thesis project was carried out from September 2000 till March 2001 at Axis Communication AB, Lund. The project was to build a common test system platform for all future tests of Axis network servers’ products. Thus, overcoming the current practice of costly dedicated test system development for individual products. The project is a gra

Studien har som syfte att undersöka huruvida flygolyckor påverkar flygplanstillverkares aktiepriser. Tidsperioden som undersöks är mellan år 2000 och 2018 och begränsas till olyckor där 30 personer eller fler miste livet. Metoden som ligger till grund för arbetet är en händelsestudie som tillsammans med statistiska test undersöker effekten av flygolyckor. Historiska data i form av faktiska aktiekuThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether aircraft accidents affect the stock prices of aircraft manufacturers. The time period examined is between 2000 and 2018 and is limited to accidents where 30 people or more lost their lives. The method that underlies the work is an event study that, together with statistical tests, investigates the effect of airplane crashes. Historical data in th

Studies of dog assisted interventions often focus on the effects they have on clients health or situation. In contrast, the aim of this study was to analyze supervisors descriptions of dog assisted interventions in daily activity centers and to discuss how these interventions might affect the client’s situation. The study was performed through six semi-structured interviews using a thematic interv

Orbit integration for three different assumed Intermediate-mass Black Hole (IMBH, defined as black holes with mass MBH in the range 100Mo < MBH 104Mo) populations in the Milky Way for 10 Gyr has been performed. Upon collision with molecular clouds in the galactic disc, the relative velocity between both objects has been measured and the luminosity resulting from the gas accretion process onto the
