Introduction: While there has been a reduction in specific homicide categories in Sweden, the last decade has witnessed an increase in the overall rate. The escalation is predominantly linked to heightened gun violence associated with criminal gangs. As a result, Sweden faces an extreme rate of shootings and firearm-related homicides, constituting one of the most severe instances across Europe. Ho
Introduction: Rockwell Automation needs to understand how a lean company wants to visualize different KPIs. Ambu wants to see the value of using such visualization in their company and the effect it might have.Thus the two parts fulfill each other's needs and are the perfect match. Purpose: The purpose of the master thesis is to identify essential KPIs in a medical production process and desi
The full-width-at-half-maximum of the point spread functions for a pixellated cadmium telluride detector exposed to gammas from a 140.5 keV Tc-99m source are modelled in GATE, at a detector-collimator distance of 5 cm, and collimator-source distances of 5 cm and 10 cm, with lead pinholes of diameter 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm and 5.0 mm acting as collimators. The PILATUS3 X CdTe 300k detector from Dec
Malmo and Uppsala have been regional centres for the treatment of cleft lip and palate since the beginning of the 1950s. We have about 80 new cases every year and most patients have conventional oronasal clefts, either cleft lip and palate or isolated cleft palate. During a 10-year period we have come across four patients who have had varying degrees of midface dysplasia combined with intracranial
Abstract Global industrial providers increasingly recognize the aftermarket as a significant source of untapped value, yet many remain challenged in the pursuit of capturing it. This research examines a global medical simulation provider where the absence of strategic segmentation between primary product flows and the distribution of spare parts has produced persistent operational misalignment. Le
Albumin concentration in a morning urine sample was analyzed in a cross-sectional study in 476 insulin-dependent diabetic patients. The following groups of patients were defined: A) normal urinary albumin (urine albumin less than 12.5 mg/L); B) high normal albuminuria (12.5-30 mg/L); C) microalbuminuria, ie, incipient nephropathy (31-299 mg/L); and D) clinical nephropathy (greater than or equal to
The association between urinary albumin concentration (UAC) in a morning urine sample and medical risk factors was evaluated in a cross-sectional study of 451 type II (noninsulin-dependent) diabetic patients. The following four groups of patients were created according to their urinary albumin levels: A) normal (less than 12.5 mg/L); B) high normal (12.5-30 mg/L); C) microalbuminuria, ie, incipien
Background: There is limited information about risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in acutely ill hospitalized general medical patients. Methods: An international, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial (MEDENOX) has previously been conducted in 1102 acutely ill, immobilized general medical patients and has shown the efficacy of using a low-molecular-weight heparin, enoxapar
The safe application of ionising radiation for diagnosis and therapy requires a high level of knowledge of the underlying processes and of quality assurance. Sophisticated modern equipment can be used effectively for complicated diagnostic and therapeutic techniques only with adequate physics support. In the light of recent analyses and recommendations by national and international societies a joi
Objectives The aim of this study is to determine diagnostic patterns in the prehospital paediatric population, age distribution, the level of monitoring and the treatment initiated in the prehospital paediatric case. Hypothesis was that advanced prehospital interventions are rare in the paediatric patient population. Setting We performed a retrospective population-based registry cohort study of ch
Background Accurate estimation of prognosis in multimorbid hospital patients could improve quality of care. This study aims to determine the relative importance and added value of a performance-based activities of daily living (ADL) measure with regard to mortality prediction. Methods 200 inpatients, aged over 60 years, were recruited at the Department of General Internal Medicine at a tertiary un
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic calls for effective and safe treatments. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19 actively replicates in the throat, unlike SARS-CoV, and shows high pharyngeal viral shedding even in patients with mild symptoms of the disease. HCoV-229E is one of four coronaviruses causing the common cold. In this stu
The continuous quest for materials capable of providing sustained release of antimicrobial drugs is particularly important for indwelling medical applications. In this study, we utilized amoxicillin as a model active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to investigate the feasibility of using porous media – specifically, functionalized calcium carbonate (FCC) microparticles – as a primary drug carrier

The field of control provides the principles and methods used to design physical and information systems that maintain desirable performance by sensing and automatically adapting to changes in the environment. This report spells out some of the prospects for control in the current and future technological environment, describes the role the field will play in military, commercial, and scientific a
This thesis is an analysis of the modern phenomena and attributes of the city of Nairobi and its inhabitants. It has two purposes where the first is to account for the environmental perceptions of Nairobi citizens. The second purpose is to analyse how relevant the modern dichotomy of nature/culture is in Nairobi in relations to the environmental perceptions. This thesis has four main theoretical
We investigated the potential role of Antarctic tourism in the introduction of human-associated pathogens into Antarctic wildlife. We collected and analyzed 233 fecal samples from eight bird species. The samples were collected at six localities on the Antarctic Peninsula, which often is visited by tourists. Every sample was investigated for pathogens of potential human origin: Campylobacter jejuni
