Background: Ambulatory oxygen therapy can be used to treat exertional hypoxaemia during daily life activities in people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). However, evidence for its efficacy is scarce. This trial aimed to compare the effects of ambulatory oxygen with ambulatory air on physical activity in daily life over 6 months in people with fibrotic ILD and isolated exertional hypox
We study school switches in which students who have already been assigned seats requestreassignment. Unlike in regular school choice, stability need not be legally binding in suchprograms, since students’ priority-based claims have already been satisfied upstream. Effi-ciency then naturally becomes the primary design objective. To quantify the potential legalefficiency gains, we compare Deferred A
Background: Violent Crime Convicted Persons (VCCPs) are at increased risk of somatic health problems over the life course. However, the topic remains insufficiently studied, particularly regarding interactions with healthcare services in high-risk groups over extended periods. This prospective study aimed to explore adverse somatic outcomes in young adult VCCPs with a history of imprisonment and t
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: En verksamhet eller åtgärd kan ha stor inverkan på människor, djur, växter, mark, vatten, luft, klimat, landskap och kulturmiljö. För att fatta bästa möjliga beslut om en projekt-ut-formning som tar hänsyn till konsekvenserna för olika berörda miljövärden åter-finns kravet på miljökonsekvensbeskrivning, MKB, i svensk lagstiftning. Syftet med en MKB är att identi
Denna uppsats behandlar tidens anda och dess påverkan på den kollektiva arbetsrätten genom åren. Syftet med arbetet är främst att ge ett annorlunda perspektiv på arbetsmarknadens historieutveckling genom att inte bara undersöka händelsers sakliga bakgrund och utgång, utan även fokusera i högre grad på de krafter som ligger bakom processen. Detta görs genom att till en början redogöra för de centra
Förlust av biologisk mångfald är ett av de största hoten mot ekosystem och derasfunktioner. Nästan 500 arter i den marina miljön i Sverige anses idag vara hotade ellersårbara. En av dessa är Sveriges enda val, tumlaren (Phocoena phocoena), som lever längs hela Sveriges kust och rör sig över stora områden i sin jakt på fisk att äta. Mänsklig påverkan, framför allt genom oavsiktliga bifångster vid gThe harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is a small toothed whale with a mainly coastal distribution in the northern hemisphere. As a marine top predator, the species can act as an indicator for early warning signs of ecosystem changes. At the same time, harbour porpoises are globally threatened by human activities and in need of conservation. Successful protection of harbour porpoises requires un
This licentiate dissertation emerges at the crossroads of critical disability studies and critical disasterstudies, with a commitment to justice, equality, and accessibility within the realm of disaster risk reduction(DRR). Its purpose was to develop new insights into strengthening crisis preparedness by activelyinvolving and including people with intellectual disabilities, leveraging their own kn
The rapid urbanisation and global need for resources have led to an increased use of the underground, resulting in conflicting interests and an urgent need for subsurface planning. The concept of geosystem services is suggested for communicating the diverse values of the subsurface, and to support subsurface planning for ensuring sustainable and equitable underground developments. The UNDER projec
Background: Medical abortion after 12 gestational weeks often requires a stay in hospital. We hypothesised that administering the first misoprostol dose at home could increase day-care procedures as compared with overnight care procedures, shorten inpatient stays, and improve patient satisfaction. Methods: This multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial was done at six hospitals in Swede
Introduction: Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is the standard of care for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study aimed to review SMBG profiles in women with GDM and to examine how glucose metrics derived from SMBG relate to fetal overgrowth and infants born large for gestational age (LGA, >90th percentile). Material and Methods: This was a single-center, historical, obs
BACKGROUND: Telehealth services are becoming increasingly popular at primary healthcare centres. Some examples include text-based digital triage and health guidance using chats, emails, images and pre-filled forms. Telephone-based communication has until recent years been the predominant means for triage and health guidance, but now includes written communication via computer or smartphone. Hence
BACKGROUND: Patients with oesophageal and gastric cancer have a low likelihood of being cured and suffer from a broad spectrum of symptoms and problems that negatively affect their quality-of-life (QOL). Although the majority (67-75%) of patients at the time of diagnosis suffer from an incurable disease, research has primarily focused on the pre- and postoperative phase among patients treated with
