This thesis concentrates on foreign medical device companies´ difficulties in getting access to the Chinese market in a fair way. China has, just like Japan and Taiwan, implemented industrial policies in order to develop the domestic economy. Certain industries have been handpicked as champions for future growth and are therefore subject to preferential treatment. The preferential treatment, among
Teaching awards have become a way to acknowledge the importance of high-quality teaching for many higher education institutions. The purpose of this study is to investigate which images of the “good educator” emerge in students’ nominations for a teaching award at a Swedish university, and how these images relate to the gender of nominees and nominating students. We want to explore possible bias l
This study investigated the quality and availability of environmental education (EE) in Dhading Besi, Nepal. Focus was placed on the cultivation of students’ agency and their participation in environmental actions. Interviews were conducted jointly at two local high schools with students and teachers, and with climate science researchers and local environmental NGOs. The study found that current e
Using a master’s-level human rights program funded by Sweden at Peking University, this case study sought to explore the connection between legal education and social change as influentially advanced by the Law and Development Movement (LDM) and now reflected in various donor-funded law and governance projects in China. To evaluate the program’s underlying assumptions of change, the study examined
Recent studies have shown the discriminatory and patriarchal nature of personal status laws in Lebanon (Geagea et al. 2015; Mikdashi 2018b). Stories abound of women losing custody of their children due to laws that favor paternal custody and of couples pursuing civil marriages abroad to avoid being subject to religious courts in Lebanon (Abillama 2018). Literature on the subject has focused on the
This qualitative study investigates the effect that Generative AI (GenAI) tools have on students' achievement of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) in higher education institutions (HEIs), focusing on perceptions and utilizing the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Taxonomy. Conducting several semi-structured interviews, the study investigates the role of GenAI in potentially imp
Mycket är känt gällande kopplingar mellan boendemiljöer och psykisk hälsa, men hur det ser ut i en svensk kontext är inte lika utforskat. Högskole- och universitetsstudenter har visat sig vara en sårbar grupp gällande psykisk hälsa, och COVID-19 pandemin har ytterligare belyst behovet av att utforska hur det relaterar till boendemiljöer då studenter spenderat mer tid än tidigare i sina hem. SåledeMuch is known regarding the connections between residential environments and mental health, but less so in a Swedish context. Students in higher education have been found to be a vulnerable group in terms of mental health problems, and the COVID-19 pandemic has further emphasised the need to explore how mental health relates to residential environments, as students have spent more time in their ho
Background: There is a lack of standardisation in quality of life (QoL) measurements to be used in older multimorbid patients. An ideal QoL measurement should be reliable, valid, subjective, multidimensional, feasible and generic. We hypothesised that the QoL-AD (Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease) scale could have these properties. Our aim was to determine the psychometric properties and clin
This paper provides the preliminary findings of a newly granted two-year project investigating the adoption of disruptive technologies, by focusing on the case of additive manufacturing (AM) in the medical technology (MedTech) industry, particularly implant applications. This is done by (I) stakeholder mapping of the industry in Australia. This included members of industry, researchers, academics,
The paper examines how interjections have been treated in linguistic literature; on what grounds they have been separated from pure response cries; and what their relation is to iconic (onomatopoeic) vocabulary items. Second, the paper examines various English grammars intended for university level students, especially in second language contexts, to see how their treatment of interjections reflec
Background: Quality of supervision is a major predictor for successful PhD projects. A survey showed that almost all PhD students in the Health Sciences in Denmark indicated that good supervision was important for the completion of their PhD study. Interestingly, approximately half of the students who withdrew from their program had experienced insufficient supervision. This led the Research Educa
Background: Variation in the incidence, survival rate and factors associated with survival after cardiac arrest in Europe is reported. Some studies have tried to fill the knowledge gap regarding the epidemiology of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Europe but were unable to identify reasons for the reported differences. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe European Emergency Medica
OBJECTIVES: To identify the lowest sensitivity and specificity that physicians and the general population consider acceptable for medical artificial intelligence (AI), relative to current human performance.METHODS: In a nationwide, cross-sectional survey in Sweden, 2025, random samples of 500 physicians and 500 adults from the general population were mailed a questionnaire presenting three vignett
Under vissa typer av operationer, till exempel då kärlen kring hjärtat opereras, använder sig läkare av en speciell typ av röntgenmaskin för att orientera sig inuti kroppen, så kallad genomlysning. För att undgå att öppna upp bröstkorgen på patienten går läkarna in med små verktyg i kärlen via ljumskarna och upp till hjärtat. Eftersom läkarna står så nära patienten träffar en del av strålningen de"Background: Cataract (opacity of the lens of the eye) has always been thought of as a deterministic effect. That is, that there is a threshold dose below which damage does not occur. However, recent studies suggest a lower threshold and the question whether there is any threshold at all has been raised. One situation that leads to special concern, if this turns out to be the case, is during
IntroductionEmerging evidence suggests a difference in access to facilities for medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) and delivery among women in different regions of the country. However, we lack assessments at a large scale across all geographies. Our study aims to describe the percent contribution of private and public sectors in institutional deliveries and MTP in India.MethodsA secondary dat
