Background: To explore the point prevalence of the risk of malnutrition and the targeting of nutritional interventions in relation to undernutrition risk and hospital volume. Methods: A cross-sectional survey performed in nine hospitals including 2 170 (82.8%) patients that agreed to participate. The hospitals were divided into large, middle, and small sized hospitals. Undernutrition risk and over
In this essay I have tried to come close to a probable answer to the following question: Is there a risk that the trust between the Swedish public and the Swedish medical services staff, including the doctors, will be severely damaged if euthanasia is legalized in Sweden. In order to try to answer that question, and some other relevant questions that has corresponding interest in the context that
Freedom of movement is a necessity for the European Union. According to Article 8a EEC, which was inserted by the Single European Act in 1987, the Member States of the European Union have committed themselves to achieve an internal market and thus abolish all obstacles that may impede the free movement of goods, services, capital and persons. The right to free movement of persons is one of these f
We developed the AcouWash (Figures 1 and 2), a benchtop instrument for flow-through cell and particle separation by acoustophoresis. Building on previous research [1-4] AcouWash can re-suspend cells in new medium, separate cells based on size or acoustic properties, or enrich cells, Figure 3. We present our initial evaluation of AcouWash regarding size-based separation of particles, cell washing,
Water and salt mass balances for the Dead Sea were modeled. Precipitation, evaporation, river discharges, ground water flows, input/output from potash companies and salt production, and brine discharge were included in the models. The mixing time in the Dead Sea was modeled using a single-layer (well-mixed) atwo-layer (stratified) system.Using the single-layer approach the water level was predicte
Ethical trends across the Western hemisphere of Global Civil Society (GCS) may equal ethics to be out of date, unless it is globalized in, an ethically justifiable manner, which in this paper is called ”ethicalization”. Whether the ethical current can catch momentum with globalizations speed of time, concurrently maintaining consistency is a challenge faced by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), a
Thesis Purpose: We aim to enhance the understanding of why Swedish consumers perform pro-environmental behaviors and how this can be influenced by managers and marketers in the shopping mall environment, making the mall more attractive and shoppers more loyal. Theoretical Perspective: We take on a sociological perspective by researching constructs based on identity theory, conspicuous consumption
The preferred method for synthesising therapeutic peptides today is by Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS). SPPS is a wasteful process, where the main component of the waste is hazardous solvents, i.e., N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or dichloromethane (DCM). 3 It is therefore desirable to search for new and greener solvents to use for SPPS, which is what has been studied
Background: Previous studies have indicated that vitamin K deficiency is common in non-bleeding critically ill patients with slightly prolonged prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR). It has never been investigated thoroughly whether the administration of vitamin K to these patients could affect their PT-INR. Therefore, the aim of this registry study was to evaluate changes in PTBackground Previous studies have indicated that vitamin K deficiency is common in non-bleeding critically ill patients with slightly prolonged prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR).

In this book, Anil Seth advocates a predictive processing approach to the understanding of conscious experience, which he claims would amount to something like a Copernican revolution. In three separate parts of the book, Seth discusses conscious level, conscious content, and conscious self. Among the strengths of the book is an ambition to stay close to the rich phenomenology of conscious experie
Industrial and urban symbiosis (IUS) is increasingly promoted as a means to reduce resource use, lowerenvironmental impacts, and support local sustainability transitions. Municipalities are often assigned akey role in facilitating such arrangements, yet research has primarily focused on inter-firm collaborationand external coordination, paying limited attention to how municipal organizations thems
Premise: Flower color, a key trait influencing plant–pollinator interactions, may be influenced by abiotic factors such as soil. We investigated association between pollinators, soil characteristics, and flower color variations in Digitalis purpurea across native populations in Sweden and introduced populations in Bolivia. Methods: We measured floral traits, reflectance of petals and nectar-guide
The advent of Java and similar languages on the real-time system scene necessitates the development of efficient strategies for scheduling the work of a garbage collector in a non-intrusive way. We propose a scheduling strategy, time-triggered garbage collection, based on assigning the collector a deadline for when it must complete its current cycle. We show that a time-triggered CC with fixed dea

Popular Abstract in Swedish Parkinsons sjukdom är en relativt vanlig kronisk neurologisk sjukdom som karaktäriseras av att nervceller i ett specifikt område djupt i hjärnan av okänd anledning successivt dör. Dessa celler producerar signalsubstansen dopamin, vilken bl a är nödvändig för normal rörelseförmåga. Motoriska symptom (skakningar, muskelstelhet, förlångsammade rörelser och balansstörningarThis explorative study aimed to apply, develop, and evaluate assessment methods at various levels in cell replacement therapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Observed motor effects in five grafted patients support that timed motor tasks and clinical ratings of parkinsonism are able to monitor motor function, but their psychometric properties need further attention. Using positron emission tomograp
The administration’s legitimacy of the constitutional democracy consist in laws being applied in accordance with the principles which are their foundation. Care about the elderly is the municipals’ responsibility, and this task is regulated in the law of social services and the law of health and healthcare. The legislation grant individual elderly the right to a standard of living that in the law
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning på svenska Abort är ett av de vanligaste kriurgiska ingreppen i Sverige. 1989 var aborttalet för hela landet 21.5 per 1000 kvinnor i åldern 15-24 år. Storstäderna Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö har i många år haft det högsta aborttalen, vilka var för dessa 1989 28.4, 27.0 respektive 27.8. De aktuella studierna omfattar de 1466 kvinnorIn Sweden between 32-38,000 women annually elect to terminate pregnancy by means of induced abortion, though their reasons are still not well understood. The purpose of these studies, carried out at the Department of Obstetrics and gynecology and of Community Medicine at University Hospital, Malmö, was to elucidate the incidence of induced abortion in an urban population, with special emphasis on
