A new way of working with complementary interventions was developed and conducted in a county in Sweden. The intervention, Culture and Health, was directed to adult clients with mental disorders and offered cultural, nature-assisted and physical activities once a week during 14 weeks. Implementation of new interventions might be challenging and one barrier might be the professionals (Grol & Gr
Lärares praktiska yrkeskunskaper bjuder motstånd mot förspråkligande. Detta problem föreligger inte minst i lärarutbildningen, där det i verksamhetsförlagda delar kan råda både osäkerhet och skilda uppfattningar om vad studenterna behöver göra eller prestera för att uppnå de mål som (bokstavligen) föreskrivits dem. Syftet med avhandlingen har varit att beskriva och förstå villkor och förutsättningTeachers' practical professional skills offer resistance to advocacy. This problem exists not least in teacher education, where in work-based parts there can be both uncertainty and different perceptions of what the students need to do or perform in order to achieve the goals that are (literally) prescribed for them. The purpose of the dissertation has been to describe and understand conditions an
AIM: At presentation, 15-20% of patients with rectal cancer already have synchronous liver metastases. The aim of this study was to determine the surgical and survival outcomes in patients with advanced rectal cancer who underwent combined pelvic exenteration and liver (oligometastatic) resection.METHOD: Data from 20 international institutions that performed simultaneous pelvic exenteration and li
Support for developing a work identity hasbeen shown to be essential for the recovery process ofyoung adults with mental health problems. Sinceresearch shows that the development of a student roleduring the educational years for these young adultsmay be interrupted, this time period may be relevant toexplore in order to support career development and thecritical transition to adulthood for this ta
The aim of this paper is to reflect on the conceptualization of three, a priori, similar territorial innovation models: the triple helix, the regional innovation systems and Sábato’s triangle. To compare their underlying theoretical foundations, we conduct a bibliometric analysis of the contributions based on the previous territorial innovation models. Following Reinert’s procedure we identify the
Purpose: To compare the results of surgery for constant and intermittent exotropia, to determine factors affecting surgical success, and to evaluate the effect of horizontal rectus muscle surgery on distance-near incomitance. Methods: In this retrospective study of 291 Scandinavian patients, inclusion criteria were surgery for constant (n = 101) or intermittent (n = 190) exotropia with no vertical
Eunuchs and members of the transgender community are yet to be recognized as an effective human resource and this diversity in the workforce is still invisible. A tiny portion of the transgender community is employed, and they are tagged as purple collar employees. It is generally claimed that coworkers do not accept members of the transgender community in the workplace and are not willing to work
Vitamin A supplementation for children 6-59 months old is an important intervention that boosts immune function, especially where children do not consume enough vitamin-A-rich foods. However, the low coverage of vitamin A supplementation is a persistent problem in low- and middle-income countries. We first estimated the percentage of children 6-23 months old receiving the minimum dietary diversity
A capacitive biosensor for the detection of protein A was developed. Gold electrodes were fabricated by thermal evaporation and patterned by photoresist photolithography. A layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of thiourea (TU) and HAuCl4 and chemical reduction was utilized to prepare a probe with a different number of layers of TU and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The LbL-modified electrodes were used for
Introduction: The development of inhibitory antibodies is a severe complication of clotting factor replacement therapy in patients with severe haemophilia A (HA). Current World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) guidelines for haemophilia care indicate that eradication of inhibitors is best achieved through immune tolerance induction (ITI) therapy. Aim: The European Collaborative Haemophilia Network c
The objective of the paper is to explore whether particular problematisations of cars and car use lead to sets of solutions that may not deal with all problems associated with car use, and whether this leads to any internal conflicts within the chosen policies. The paper is based on a review of local transport policy documents from 13 cities in four countries using the lens of policy problematisat
AIMS: Patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs) treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) have an almost ten-fold increased risk of dislocation compared to patients undergoing elective THA. The surgical approach influences the risk of dislocation. To date, the influence of differing head sizes and dual-mobility components (DMCs) on the risk of dislocation has not been well studied. METHODS: In a
This study investigates how the spread of boarding passengers between the doors of a train affects the probability of dwell time delays for commuter trains. We make use of automatic passenger count data, collected on a door-by-door level, from commuter trains in the Southern region of Scania in Sweden. The aim of our study is to understand the context in which potential measures to spread out boar
Through reflections about a case study concerning an unfeasible, planned research study on nurses’ working days during the COVID-19 pandemic, the article aims to describe and discuss legal and ethical challenges when conducting European-based research together with nurses in third countries. The article highlights how the General Data Protection Regulation challenges EU and non-EU research collabo
A major fraction of nitrogen (N) in boreal forest soils is found in organic forms associated with soil organic matter (SOM) and mineral particles. The capacity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal symbionts to access this N is debated, considering that these fungi have lost many of the genes for decomposing organic matter that were present in their saprotrophic ancestors. To gain a molecular-level unde
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have now become one of the most remarkable materials in the field of molecular recognition. Although many efforts have been made to study the process and mechanism of molecular imprinting, it has not been possible to monitor the interactions between the template and the growing polymer chains under real-time experimental conditions. The behavior of the templat
Context: Growth hormone (GH) is used to treat short children born small for gestational age (SGA); however, the effects of treatment on pubertal timing and adult height are rarely studied. Objective: To evaluate adult height and peak height velocity in short GH-treated SGA children. Methods: Prospective longitudinal multicenter study. Participants were short children born SGA treated with GH thera
Calls for urgent action to conserve biodiversity under global change are increasing, and conservation of migratory species in this context poses special challenges. In the last two decades the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) has provided a framework for several subsidiary instruments including action plans for migratory bird species, but the effectiveness
