BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis of the hands is a prevalent musculoskeletal disease with a considerable effect on patients' lives, but knowledge and research results in the field of hand osteoarthritis are limited. Therefore, the Disease Characteristics in Hand OA (DICHOA) initiative was founded in early 2005 with the aim of addressing key issues and facilitating research into hand osteoarthritis. OBJE
Högskoleförordningen ställer krav på universitet och högskolor att utvärdera kurser. Ett verktyg för att utvärdera kurser är Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ), vilket Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH) använder. För att genomföra dessa utvärderingar har de skapat en process som innehåller ett flertal aktiviteter, och ett IT-baserat system för att stödja denna process. Utifrån detta har vi studerat

Abstrakt Barn med övervikt och fetma är ett folkhälsoproblem som barnhälsovården (BHV) har en unik möjlighet att förebygga. Materialet Grunda Sunda Vanor (GSV) kan användas av distrikts- och barnsjuksköterskan. GSV är nationella riktlinjer som ingår i Rikshandboken för barnhälsovård. Syftet med studien var att undersöka distrikts- och barnsjuksköterskans följsamhet till riktlinjerna i det preventi
Uppsatsen syftar till att beskriva och analysera utformningen av nyckeltalsredovisning i svenska publika företag, främst med utgångspunkt i sektorstillhörighet samt utveckling över tid. Uppsatsen består av tre delundersökningar som syftar till att kartlägga, upptäcka eventuella trender samt gå djupare in på företag som skiljer sig från mängden. Empirin har samlats in med hjälp av en inventeringsli
Objective: Metformin has been reported to reduce alpha-dicarbonyls, which are known to contribute to diabetic complications. It is unclear whether this is due to direct quenching of alpha-dicarbonyls or to an improvement in glycemic control. We therefore compared the effects of metformin versus repaglinide, an antihyperglycemic agent with an insulin-secreting mechanism, on the levels of the alpha-
Current consumption patterns are not sustainable and are compromising the Earth’s carrying capacity and the future of next generations. Increasing sustainable consumption behaviours and practices are needed in order to decrease nowadays negative consumption impacts on the environment and achieve sustainable development. However, sustainable consumption practices are generally not performed as they
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between investments in the Chinese stock market and shocks to the macroeconomic climate in the U.S. and in the EU. Four different indices are used in determining the investment response to shocks in the two different geographical regions of interest – The Shanghai Composite Index, CSI 300 Information Technology Index, CSI 300 Materials Index
After 9/11, the US had a military presence in Afghanistan for 20 years between 2001 and 2021. However, in 2021 this military presence was terminated amid surging unrest in Afghanistan and the Taliban reclaiming power. This means that the US political administrations have had to explain to Americans why the military presence was necessary and then why it was not necessary anymore. Therefore, this t
At the Children’s Heart Center of Skåne University Hospital (BUS) there is an ongoing project with live recordings of open heart surgeries. These recordings will be used for educational purposes, for planning of future surgeries, as well as for evaluating the surgical procedures. Currently, the recordings are made using two cameras that are positioned above the operating table on a temporary mount

This master's thesis explores how organisations manage and measure performance through performance measurement systems. Though as performance management systems often relies on ad-hoc, informal methods, leading to inconsistencies and misalignment with organizational objectives. This study advocates for a systematic approach to performance management system implementation, aligning it with orga
The ‘acid mantle’ of the human skin is considered crucial for several protective functions of the skin. It has been associated with numerous biological processes including enzymatic activities and barrier function for diffusional transport. The outer thin layer of the skin– the stratum corneum (SC) - is primarily responsible for the skin barrier function. In this paper, we investigate how the stru
