Bakgrund: Demens är en komplex funktionsnedsättning som kommer ha en prevalens på 130 miljoner år 2050. Den ökade förekomsten av demens ställer krav på team som jobbar inom vården. Teamen inom vården kommer att behöva samarbeta effektivt och jobba med aktivitetsbaserade interventioner som bevisats vara kostnadseffektiva. För ett effektivt samarbete behöver teamet kunskap om varandras kompetens. Sy
Methods of poverty eliminations are some of the most researched subjects in development, as well as, public economics. Procedures in which poverty is believed to be best fought have, and will continue to, deviate across countries. In this thesis, the linkages between poverty, elementary macroeconomic variables and cash benefits will be examined. To explore the direct as well as indirect effects on
Until rather recently, safety from a traffic perspective has almost exclusively been described by accident statistic which in itself does not reveal the true safety issues. For this reason the use of traffic safety indicators has become more frequently used as a complement to describe the traffic safety situation. This thesis treats the behavioral differences of Norwegian and Danish cyclists from
This paper investigates how the financial sector's institutional characteristics can allow an economy to benefit from financial deepening and limit the negative effects it can have. Specifically, it tests how macroprudential regulation and financial liberalisation affect the shape and behaviour of the finance–growth relationship. This is done by analysing a sample of 55 developing and develope
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att med en enkätundersökning kartlägga dagliga aktivitetsmönster, välbefinnande samt olika motivationsfaktorer hos arbetssökande unga vuxna i åldern 18–25 år. Syftet är också att kartlägga vilket stöd målgruppen upplever sig ha och vilket värde ett arbete skulle ha för målgruppen. Metod: Deltagarna som medverkade var enligt exklusionskriterierna: Sjukskrivna, ej aktivtPurpose: The purpose of the study is using a survey to map daily occupational patterns, well-being, and how different motivational factors are perceived and experienced in the target group able-bodied young adults age 18–25. The purpose is also to map the support the target group have, and what values a job would have for the target group. Method The participants where picked with the exclusion cr
Introduction: The fight against maternal deaths has gained attention as the target date for Millennium Development Goal 5 approaches. Induced-abortion is one of the leading causes of maternal deaths in developing countries which hamper this effort. In Ghana, alcohol consumption and unwanted pregnancies are on the ascendancy. We examined the association between alcohol consumption and maternal mort
We have carried out muon spin relaxation (mu SR), neutron diffraction, and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) investigations on polycrystalline samples of Ce(Ru1-xFex)(2)Al-10 (x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, and 1) to investigate the nature of the ground state (magnetic ordered versus paramagnetic) and the origin of the spin-gap formation as evident from the bulk measurements in the end members. Our zero-f
This thesis analyzes the corporate rebalancing behavior of German publicly listed firms subsequent to equity price shocks. The examined period (1990-2012) includes a total sample of 2,154 firm-years. It is found that German firms do not counteract stock induced changes in market-based capital ratios in the short run; whereas managerial rebalancing activity gradually gains importance in the long-te
Background/Objectives: There is still no consensus as to whether patients with upfront resectable synchronous colorectal liver metastases (sCRLM) should receive neoadjuvant treatment prior to liver surgery. Two randomized controlled trials have assessed the role of peri-operative chemotherapy in sCRLM; neither have shown a survival benefit in the neoadjuvant group. The aim of this population-based
This study focuses on the psycholinguistic problems that people may encounter when it comes to ambiguity. The most common words in English are ambiguous. An example is deck, which can both mean the deck of a ship or a deck of cards. To be able to distinguish the meaning of an ambiguous word, people naturally look at the context in which the word appears. So a sentence like ?The farmer filled the
Personal assistance - A qualitative study of the significance of the reform In 1994, a new law, Act Concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) was implemented as a part of the Swedish welfare system. The purpose of the law is to assure safety for people in one of three target groups that are further defined in 1 §, LSS. The law gives people in these targe
Stair-ascending at maximum ability is required during emergency evacuations to reach a safe refuge from deep underground structures. We hypothesized that an ascent can last maximum 5 min at the individual’s maximum step rate (SR), and oxygen uptake (V˙O2) would not reach a stable state. This study explored stair-ascending endurance and some physiological constraints of performance. Eighteen health
Accurate carrier-phase integer ambiguity resolu-tion is fundamental for high precision global navigation satellitesystems (GNSSs). In this paper we extend a recently proposedmixture Kalman filter solution to integer ambiguity resolution.We utilize the Fisher information matrix to project the acquiredmeasurements into a lower-dimensional subspace, formulatingan optimization program to find the proj
Lipid-lowering statin treatment reduces cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and improves endothelial function in patients with hypercholesterolemia. The aim of the present study was to evaluate plasma levels of fibrinogen, factor VII, and the macrophage-derived inflammatory mediator neopterin during lipid lowering. In addition, the endothelial production of platelet antiaggregatory and vasodila

Background: Overweight and obesity were recently associated with a poor prognosis in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Whether the metabolic consequences of obesity as defined by the metabolic syndrome (MS) are also linked with disease progression remains untested. Methods: Eligible ADPKD patients with different stages of CKD (n = 105) and 105 non-diabetic control
