Utvärderingens syfteMissbruk och beroende av alkohol är ett av de största folkhälsoproblemen. Narkotikamissbruk är mindre vanligt men har stora medicinska konsekvenser för de berörda. De sociala och juridiska aspekterna är betydande. En kritisk genomgång av litteraturen vad avser behandling av abstinens, protraherad abstinens, behandling i syfte att förhindra återfall, psykologiska och sociala beh
I dag arbetar cirka 22 procent av de arbetande kvinnorna i Sverige i vård och omsorgssektorn. Vård och omsorg är en kvinnodominerad sektor som karaktäriseras av höga sjuktal, hög personalomsättning och rekryteringsproblem. Sveriges befolkning blir allt äldre samtidigt som vården av svårt sjuka patienter i allt högre grad flyttas ut från sjukhusen till hemmet. Detta utgör stora utmaningar för hemtj
1. Motivation, specific objectiveTo evaluate the first prototype of a home lighting system, we used a full-scale model of a studio apartment in the laboratory of the School of Architecture at Lund University. The personalised home lighting system is based on LEDs, wearable sensors and a mobile phone app to produce lighting tailored to the individual’s needs. Drawing on participant interviews (n =
The complex multi-criteria optimisation problems arising in Kidney Exchange Programmes have received considerable attention both in practice and in the scientific literature. Whereas theoretical advancements are well reviewed and synthesised, this is not the case for practice. We present a synthesis of models and methods applied in present European Kidney Exchange Programmes, which is based on det
Syncope, a form of transient loss of consciousness, remains a complex medical condition for which adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including death, are of major concern but rarely occur. Current risk stratification algorithms have not completely delineated which patients benefit from hospitalization and specific interventions. Patients are often admitted unnecessarily and at high cost. Artificial
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report a case study that qualitatively describes and analyses teachers’ discussions when planning and evaluating lessons under supervision, and what is described is the focus on their reasoning, the activities decided upon and how they decided to assess the pupils’ learning outcomes when transforming formal curriculum objectives for English as a foreign la
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe pre-school children's learning during a learning study, and their teachers’ awareness of each child's learning possibilities in relation to what they actually learned. The paper's aims are twofold; first, to focus on how to design learning study in pre-school settings; and second, to study young children's (aged 4-5) learning. Design/methodology/ap
Det svenska universitetssystemet har vuxit till att bli en omfattande och komplex institution. Expansionen har inte bara gällt antalet studenter, lärare och forskare utan också den administrativa ram de verkar inom och de personalkategorier som ingår däri. Men förhållandet mellan lärarkår och administratörer präglas inte sällan av misstro. I sin artikel vill Ola Agevall och Gunnar Olofsson tränga
1. Dementia is a clinical syndrome with several causes whichcreates impairments in mental ability, personality, affect andsocialisation.2. Information from family members can be very useful in theearly identification of cognitive impairment.3. Patients presenting with cognitive impairment should be evaluatedfor potentially reversible causes, with a range of laboratorytests and investigations.4. Sh
Individuals with severe self-harm and experiences of lengthy psychiatric admissions often have complex mental health conditions and are at risk of suicide. In this qualitative study, self-harming individuals with >180 days of psychiatric admission over 12 months shared their experiences of Brief Admission (BA), a standardized crisis-management intervention encouraging self-admission and autonomy.
Lighting control systems have been traditionally employed to reduce energy use for lighting by, for example, maximizing daylight harvesting. When highly efficient light sources are installed and for tasks where maintaining target illuminance is particularly important, designers may decide to prioritize the latter together with energy use. In this context, the use of data-driven algorithms is emerg
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To provide an overview of recent studies discussing novel strategies, controversies, and challenges in the management of severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) in the initial postinjury hours. RECENT FINDINGS: Prehospital management of sTBI should adhere to Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) principles. Maintaining oxygen saturation and blood pressure within target ranges on-scen
Background: Most antidepressant treatment studies have included patients strictly based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders definition of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Given the heterogeneity of MDD, this approach may have obscured inter-patient differences and hampered the development of novel and targeted treatment strategies. An alternative strategy is to use bioma
