The concept of a knowledge triangle, i.e., the principle of strengthening the linkages between research, education and innovation, has emerged as a result of policymakers' expectations that universities assume a broader societal responsibility. Yet, little is known about how these tasks and their interactions are orchestrated at universities. We explore concept of how the knowledge triangle is man
Introduction: Despite that heart rate (HR) control is one of the guideline-recommended treatment goals for heart failure (HF) patients, implementation has been painstakingly slow. Therefore, it would be important to identify patients who have not yet achieved their target heart rates and assess possible underlying reasons as to why the target rates are not met. Materials and methods: The survey of
Background: Restrictive eating problems are rare in children but overrepresented in those with neurodevelopmental problems. Comorbidities decrease wellbeing in affected individuals but research in the area is relatively scarce. This study describes phenotypes, regarding psychiatric and gastrointestinal comorbidities, in children with restrictive eating problems. Methods: A parental telephone inter
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of a culturally adapted lifestyle intervention for changing dietary intake, particularly energy, fat and fibre intakes, in the intervention group (IG) compared with the control group (CG). Design: Randomised controlled trial. Setting: IG (n 50) and CG (n 46). The IG was offered seven group sessions, including one cooking class, over a period of 4 months.
Background: The experience of person-centredness and person-centred climate is poorly understood in the context of being assessed as non-urgent and, in many cases, left at home by the Ambulance Service.Aim: The overall objective of this thesis was to explore experiences of person-centredness and the person-centred climate among patients and significant others when patients were assessed as non-urg
Background: Dementia with Lewy Body (DLB) is a neurocognitive disorder with core features, such as Parkinsonism, visual hallucinations, and fluctuating cognition/ excessive daytime sleepiness, and supportive features, such as rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder. DLB is often misdiagnosed and unrecognized in elderly individuals. A diagnosis of DLB is important because of the risk of hyperse
Background: Although callous-unemotional (CU) traits have been associated with bullying among children and adolescents, relatively little is known about whether each of the three sub-constructs of CU traits—callous, uncaring, and unemotional—are associated with bullying when they are considered concurrently in the analysis. Objective: This study was the first to examine in a single model whether c
In many of the first treatment trials with tacrine, heterogeneity in treatment response was observed and discussed. One third of the patients were considered to be responders to treatment, one third unchanged and one third non-responders. Factors outlined as possible positive predictors of treatment were among others old age, well preserved frontal lobes, and presence of the APOE e4 allele. Unfort
