The objective of this study was to critically assess and review empirical evidence on the cost-effectiveness of Mobile Health (mHealth) interventions for older adults. We systematically searched databases such as Pubmed, Scopus, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Literature (CINAHL) for peer-reviewed economic evaluations published in English from 2007 to 2018. We extracted data on methods

Use of clay brick masonry in façades is often motivated by its aesthetic values and durability. Yet, mortar joints exposed to climate agents erode over time, expected to cause elevated moisture content and water absorption. Thus, it is often recommended that 40- to 50-year-old facades should be repointed – a measure which is intrusive and costly. Decision is in many cases taken without a clear evi

A non-commercial knowledge base providing assessments of fetal risks of medicinal drugs is a useful tool in the everyday work of midwives. The information is freely available on the internet, and according to a questionnaire study, nearly 95% of the midwives are familiar with the database, 30% use the information weekly, and 80% express that it affects their medical decisions. A vast majority of t

Introduction: Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are lymphocyte aggregates resembling secondary lymphoid organs and are pivotal in cancer immunity. The ambiguous morphological definition of TLS makes it challenging to ascertain their clinical impact on patient survival and response to immunotherapy. Objectives: This study aimed to characterize TLS in hematoxylin-eosin tissue sections from lung can

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 vaccination campaign in several European countries involved collaboration between public health and Primary Health Care (PHC). OBJECTIVE: To highlight the role of PHC professionals in the COVID-19 vaccination rollout, specifically in terms of vaccine administration, communication and contributing to vaccination population coverage. METHODS: A descriptive retrospective stud

Wrought Alloy 600 and Alloy 182 weld metal were tested for stress corrosion crack initiation in a BWR test loop. For the tests a modified bolt loaded compact tension specimen was developed, in which a U-notch replaced the conventional crack notch. The stress state close to notches of various radii was analyzed. Specimens with various notch radii were loaded to the same displacement at the bolt. A

Människans reflektioner över etiska frågeställningar befinner sig i spänningen mellan att formulera vad som är allmänmänskligt och vad som kan betraktas som särskiljande för olika individer och grupper av människor. Hur ska vi leva tillsammans? Och vad är ett gott samhälle? Det som ska vara gemensamt och gränserna för olikhet måste (åter)erövras i varje tid. Och i varje tid samsas ”eviga” etiska s

Law is everywhere – Rätten finns överallt. Det uttrycket kan beskriva rättens roll i våra liv. Utöver formella lagar, regleringar och avtal möter vi i vår vardag även informella lagar och sociala normer: i familjen, i skolan, på arbetsplatsen och i samhället i stort. De styr både hur vi tänker och agerar och vad vi förväntar oss av andra. Rättssociologi handlar om att analysera relationen mellan r

Appreciation and production of musical rhythm is a human universal and, as with other human capacities, it is imperative to understand the extent of our capacity to perceive and produce rhythm. This thesis presents my work on the cognitive and perceptual aspects of rhythm perception and production at a slow tempi. In Paper I I establish that rhythm production, such as keeping the beat to a metron

Background: Progressive respiratory failure is the leading cause of death in patients with severe COVID-19. Histopathological findings in acute severe COVID-19 are foremost based on post-mortem findings. On computed tomography (CT), acute COVID-19 pneumonia is characterized by ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and, later, by a crazy-paving pattern (CPP) and consolidations. Purpose: To investigate if C

Åtgärder vid brand och utrymning ÅTGÄRDER VID BRAND OCH UTRYMNING Sociologiska institutionen Brand är alltid allvarligt och kan få katastrofala följder för individer och verksamhet. Du måste därför ha grundläggande kunskap om brand och utrymning och ett larm måste alltid tas på största allvar. VARNA omgivningen om att brand har utbrutit. Använd larmknapp för att utlösa brand- och utrymningslarm. R

Background: Stress-related disorders are increasing in western societies and are the main reason for sick-leave in Sweden. Previous research justifies occupation-based interventions to increase health and work ability. Aim: To investigate if the occupation-based intervention ReDO™-10 predicts work ability for women at risk for or on sick-leave. Material and Methods: A longitudinal cohort study des

This presentation will give an overview of a peer learning model called Supplemental Instruction - Peer Assisted Study Scheme (SI-PASS). SI-PASS was invented at the University of Missouri in Kansas City, USA in the early1970s and was then directed to Universities and for the university students. In this presentation, the focus and discussion will be on how SI-PASS can be implemented in secondary s

The molecular mechanism responsible for the antitumor activity of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) remains elusive. As HDACi have been described to alter miRNA expression, the aim of this study was to characterize HDACi-induced miRNAs and to determine their functional importance in the induction of cell death alone or in combination with other cancer drugs. Two HDACi, trichostatin A and vori

We present a mathematical model for a distributed process of routing optimization that could be run in the control plane of the Internet using existing EGP routing protocols. A more detailed description of the results presented in this paper is given in [1].

Background: People with disabilities have the right to personal mobility and available and affordable assistive technology, according to the Convention of Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The aims were to investigate similarities and differences between Sierra Leone and Malawi concerning participants’ mobility and satisfaction with their lower-limb prosthetic or orthotic device and related ser

Objective Comparison of provider performance is commonly used to inform health care decision-making. Little attention has been paid to how data presentations influence decisions. This study analyzes differences in suggested actions by decision-makers informed by league tables or funnel plots.Design Decision-makers were invited to a survey and randomized to compare hospital performance using either
