Så länge människan existerat har den haft behov av hjälp och vård i samband med olyckor och sjukdom, även om den medicinska förmågan genom årtusenden varit väldigt varierande. I dagens samhälle står akutmottagningen för kunskapen, resurserna och förmågan att hjälpa människor med många akuta medicinska behov. Välfungerande akutmottagningar har därför en central roll i det moderna samhället. Den endEmergency Departments (ED) have a central role in modern healthcare, providing emergent care regardless of complaint 24/7. However, EDs are often characterized by long waiting times for patients and a stressful working environment for staff. These are features or a resource and demand mismatch, internationally known as ED crowding. Although several reports and news articles have indicated that ED

This thesis examines the daylight compliance of residential spaces, in particular apartments in multi-dwelling building blocks, and provides knowledge that may prove useful for the development of future daylight criteria for dwellings. The implications of design choices on daylight compliance of spaces and the effect of daylight criteria on the level of compliance are at the core of this work. Day

BACKGROUND: Self-reported mental stress is not consistently recognized as a risk factor for stroke. This prompted development of a novel algorithm for stress-phenotype indices to quantify chronic stress prevalence in relation to a modified stroke risk score in a South African cohort. The algorithm is based on biomarkers adrenocorticotrophic hormone, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-sensi

OBJECTIVES: To examine cardiovascular autonomic function in middle-aged people with long-term cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI) compared with the general population, and explore if the neurological level of injury (NLI) is related to cardiovascular autonomic function.DESIGN: Population-based cross-sectional study with matched controls.SETTING: Outpatient SCI unit in Southern Swe

Introduction: The Coronavirus 2019 Disease (COVID-19) pandemic reached the Nordic countries in March 2020. Public health interventions to limit viral transmission varied across different countries both in timing and in magnitude. Interventions indicated by an Oxford Stringency Index ≥50 were implemented early (March 13–17, 2020) in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Iceland, and on March 26, 2020 in Swe

In a critique of the sometimes confusing ways in which the term transnational has been repeatedly used, Mette Hjort, in 2010 attempted to outline what she called a “typology of transnationalisms” in connection with contemporary audio-visual production (2010: 12–33). Hjort’s palpable purpose here was to more precisely illuminate and contextualize the increasingly used concept of transnationalism. A

Patients with chronic pancreatitis have an impaired quality of life and are at risk for several long-term complications. It is important to diagnose and treat these patients to minimize the effects of the disease. Clinical manifestations of chronic pancreatitis include a wide range of symptoms and patients are managed differenth between medical centers. In recent years, there have been improvement

Abstract: Reports and studies repeatedly indicate that foreign languages other than English are facing major challenges in European educational systems (European Commission, 2012). In Sweden, pupils’ motivation to learn a second foreign language (SFL) is reported to be low while motivation to learn English is high (Eurobarometer 2012, Tholin & Lindqvist 2009). While there are plenty of studies
