Nurses are essential pillars of society, providing care for the sick. It is crucial for society to ensure that nurses have favorable working conditions, as they face a heightened risk of negative psychological conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, and emotional exhaustion due to the demanding nature of their work. The strain on healthcare staff, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic,

Background: The imbalance between proteases and anti-proteases is considered to contribute to the development of COPD. Our aim was to evaluate the protease MMP-9, the antiprotease TIMP-1 and the MMP-9/TIMP-1-ratio as biomarkers in relation to prognosis. Prognosis was assessed as lung function decline and mortality. This was done among subjects with COPD in a population-based cohort. Methods: In 20

BACKGROUND: Little is known about whether the recommended, non-pharmacological treatments for chronic pain yield reductions in healthcare utilization, social costs and increased productivity in actual practice.METHODS: The primary aim of this study ( n  = 232) was to conduct secondary analyses of health economic outcomes using data from national registries combined with clinical outcome data from

BACKGROUND: The REC-CAGEFREE trial showed that drug-coated balloons (DCB) did not achieve non-inferiority in the treatment of non-complex de novo lesion compared to a strategy of drug-eluting stents (DES). However, a prespecified subgroup analysis of arteries sized <3.0 mm revealed no difference in the device-oriented outcome compared to DES. The aim of present study was to validate that finding i

Purpose: In this study, we explore the relationship between social jetlag (SJL), a parameter of circadian misalignment, and gut microbial composition, diet and cardiometabolic health in the ZOE PREDICT 1 cohort (NCT03479866). Methods: We assessed demographic, diet, cardiometabolic, stool metagenomics and postprandial metabolic measures (n = 1002). We used self-reported habitual sleep (n = 934) to

Background: Brief Admission by self-referral is a preventive intervention here intended for individuals who recurrently self-harm and have a history of contact with emergency psychiatric services. Individuals with access to Brief Admission are empowered to self-admit to inpatient care for up to three days per stay and are encouraged to do so before experiencing crisis. Brief Admission was implemen

Sedan det svenska tvångsvårdssystemet reformerades år 1992 har den slutna rättspsykiatriska vården mottagit omfattande kritik. Enligt lagen (1991:1129) om rättspsykiatrisk vård (LRV) ska tvångsvården för vissa psykiskt sjuka gärningspersoner förenas med beslut om särskild utskrivningsprövning. Det innebär att vården endast kan upphöra efter att en domstol bedömt att både personens behov av psykiat

In the near future, a new market will form full of 2nd life batteries that are no longer suitable to use in electric vehicles. This since their capacity retention is too low after a few years of usage, as a consequence of two aging mechanisms; cycling aging and calendar aging. These batteries can be put into good use as battery energy storage systems, as the energy density is not as an important f

Electric road systems (ERS) provide electric power to vehicles en route (dynamic charging) and can reduce the need for onboard battery capacity. This thesis sets out to examine the power demand of an ERS and the integration of energy storage in its power supply for grid load alleviation and backup power. Specifically, the analysis is based on the ongoing project to build a permanent ERS on a 21 km

Under åren 1965-1974 genomfördes en omfattande bostadsproduktion i Sverige som betecknas miljonprogrammet. Då byggdes en miljon bostäder runtom i landet. Idag finns behov av att renovera dessa bostäder. I samband med det kan energisparåtgärder genomföras för att minska energianvändningen. Detta kan uppfyllas genom att åtgärda otäta väggar och byta ut äldre fönster som medför oönskade värmeförluste

Recruitment of new individuals is essential for a population to survive and flourish and bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) is on the decline in some parts of the Baltic Sea. The causes being multitude and complex, culminating to the loss of light penetration being the main culprit. As society moves forward, artificial submerged structures may serve as new footholds for a waning population as well a

This thesis is about the overlooked workload nurses’ hands are daily exposed to. This workload is made up of small tasks, seemingly requiring small efforts that together and over time can cause considerable muscle wear. A large number of these tasks consist of opening packages constructed to ensure that the products are sterile. In this study, the effects these packages have on the users were exam

Purpose The overall objective in this study is to investigate the early development of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) and its association with hand or/and knee OA, metabolic diseases, biomarkers, chronic pain, physical function and daily physical activity types. Participants The Halland osteoarthritis (HALLOA) cohort is a longitudinal cohort study that includes individuals with knee pain in
