Background: The intervention; "Continuum of Care for Frail Older People", was designed to create an integrated continuum of care from the hospital emergency department through the hospital and back to the older person's own home. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the intervention on functional ability in terms of activities of daily living (ADL). Methods: The study is a non-blind

Background Frail elderly people need an integrated and coordinated care. The two-armed study "Continuum of care for frail elderly people" is a multi-professional and multidimensional intervention for frail community-dwelling elderly people. It was designed to evaluate whether the intervention programme for frail elderly people can reduce the number of visits to hospital, increase satisfaction wit

Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells (iRBC) express variant surface antigens (VSA) of which VAR2CSA is involved in placental sequestration and causes pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM). Primigravidae are most susceptible to PAM whereas antibodies associated with protection are often present at higher levels in multigravid women. However, HIV co-infection with malaria has been shown to al

This dissertation about the utilization of applied social science is based on studies of research use in three different policy sectors - the social service, the building, and the working life sectors. In these studies some characteristics of the different policy sectors, like the distribution and exercise of power and control, was found to play a fundamental role in forming the patterns of resear

Aim: A study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of functional assessment scales regarding completion rate and ability to document functional changes in geriatric rehabilitation patients. Methods: Five functional assessment scales were implemented, and used on admission and discharge as part of standard care. Results: Of 2,812 patients, 90 patients (3.2%) had no scales administered, 2,330 p

Three Staphylococcus aureus strains representing different alleles of the Siphoviridae prophage-encoded enterotoxin A (SEA) gene, including two high-SEA-producing strains and one low-SEA-producing strain were studied to investigate sea expression and SEA formation on a frankfurter type of sausage. The effect of lactic acid, an antimicrobial compound used as a preservative in food, was also investi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Spridningshamstring är en form av matlagring som används av många djur för att t.ex. överleva en lång svår vinter då det finns mycket lite mat i naturen. I Sverige är talltitan en av de i särklass främsta spridningshamstrarna och den brukar lagra tiotusentals frön inför varje vinter. Ett flertal andra mesfåglar, nötskrikor och nötkråkor har samma vanor. Det som skiljer Food hoarding is a widespread behavior among a large number of animals, and it exists in several different varieties, all of them used by the animals as a method of having a steady supply of food during periods of low food abundance such as the winter. This thesis concentrates mainly on two aspects of scatter food hoarding behavior, using small birds as study and model animals. Scatter hoarding is

Ischaemic retinal cell degeneration seems to involve both NMDA and non-NMDA receptor over-stimulation. However, different retinal cell types differ largely in their susceptibility to excitatory amino acid-induced neurotoxicity. We have investigated the vulnerability of GABAergic cells in the rabbit retina to the non-NMDA receptor agonist kainic acid (KA). The distribution of GABA immunoreactivity

Mycobacterium bovis bacilli Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is used as a benchmark to compare the immunogenicity of new vaccines against tuberculosis. This live vaccine is administered intradermal, but several new studies show that changing the route to mucosal immunisation represents an improved strategy. We analysed the immunomodulatory functions of BCG on human neutrophils and primary airway epithelial c

Videospelsbranschen växer ständigt och globalt omsätter den idag flera hundra miljarder kronor. Bakom varje enskild speltitel ligger omfattande investeringar av både tid och kapital. Upphovsrätten är den immaterialrätt som ger skydd åt videospel. Att spelutvecklarna kan erbjudas ett effektivt skydd är essentiellt för branschens fortsatta utveckling. Omfattningen av, och formerna för, det upphovsräEvery year video game sales reach beyond several billion USD globally and the video game industry is ever expanding. The production of a single game title requires substantial investments of both time and capital. Video games are protected by copyright. Effective copyright protection is essential for the industry’s continued development as it is a major economic incentive for the creation of video

New and innovative retail models such as product-service-systems (PSS) seem to offer a promising solution for more sustainable shopping activities. However, the adoption rate of PSS remains to date regretfully low. With the aim to investigate this problem, the present thesis focuses on the rental fashion model of use-oriented PSS and examines emotions that consumers experience in this context, whe

In the 17th and 18th century, travel and exploration outside Europe became more frequent, as did written accounts of travellers´ exploits. Travel writing was an immensely popular literary genre at the time, since it was one of few ways of gaining knowledge about peoples and cultures outside of Europe. In this paper, five such pieces of travel writing – written by Swedes who had travelled in the Ot

To find the optimal by-pass road alignment in the Tlokweng Planning Area in Botswana, a multi-criteria spatial-based model is developed using the GIS-MCE approach. In respect to the environmental impact assessment (EIA) approach, in this research a set of criteria is classified under 3 themes – economic, environmental and social. To determine the criterion and theme weights and perform their aggre

The power system today is facing a transformation from fossil and nuclear energy sources to renewable energy sources such as solar- and wind power. At the same time electric vehicles are becoming more common every year. To analyse how these two changes affect the power system it is crucial to understand how loaded the power system is today from traditional loads on a local and regional level. The

Structural fire safety in Sweden for one- and two-story assembly hall buildings have been studied with regards to recent concerns regarding a large variation in the interpretation of the regulations and the resulting fire protection of the buildings. The study has been divided into three parts. First, an analysis of the current national regulations and identification of unclear paragraphs has been

Using the ImmunoChip custom genotyping array, we analyzed 14,498 subjects with multiple sclerosis and 24,091 healthy controls for 161,311 autosomal variants and identified 135 potentially associated regions (P < 1.0 x 10(-4)). In a replication phase, we combined these data with previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from an independent 14,802 subjects with multiple sclerosis and 26,703

Manly and faithful. A study of the official clerical masculinity ideology in 16th and 17th century Sweden from an age/generation perspective. Historical masculinity studies, a subdivision of gender history, has been one of the most vivid fields of research in the early 21st century. While much empirical research has been done, especially for modern periods, the theoretical concepts are by and lar
