The objective of this article was to assess the cost-effectiveness of screening strategies for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). A decision analytic model was constructed to estimate the costs and benefits of one-off screening strategies differentiated by screening age, sex and the threshold for initiating statin therapy (“uniform” or “age-adjusted”) from the Spanish NHS perspective. The age-adjusted
OBJECTIVE: To investigate to what extent individuals participated in guideline-based first-line treatments before being assigned to a wait list for knee replacement for osteoarthritis (OA), and to what extent they were recommended such treatments once on the list. Factors associated with participation in first-line management were also investigated.DESIGN: All patients on the waiting list ≥ three
Background. The 2023 Duke-International Society of Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases (ISCVID) criteria for infective endocarditis (IE) were introduced to improve classification of IE for research and clinical purposes. External validation studies are required. Methods. We studied consecutive patients with suspected IE referred to the IE team of Amsterdam University Medical Center (from October 20
BackgroundThe goal of the Fifth Annual Baylor College of Medicine & DNAnexus Structural Variation Hackathon was to push forward the research on structural variants (SVs) by rapidly developing and deploying open-source software. The event took place in-person and virtually in August 2023, when 49 scientists from 14 countries and 8 U.S. states collaboratively worked on projects to address critic
Wind-abraded cobbles (ventifacts) and aeolian sand are known from the sandy-gravelly coastal areas of south-western Sweden, especially in association with raised deltas. Ventifacts are recorded on at least two different stratigraphic levels, at some sites atop glaciofluvial sediment, at other sites atop littoral deposits, and in some places at both levels, while aeolian sand usually forms a surficWind-abraded cobbles (ventifacts) and aeolian sand are known from the sandy-gravelly coastal areas of south-western Sweden, especially in association with raised deltas.

Why is there hunger in sub-Saharan Africa? What forces drive the global food system? What is the global food system? To approach these questions, this study investigates power and politics in food, in its production and in its organization. Proceeding from a critical realist approach, focus of this study is on the challenge of African smallholder food insecurity and how it is presented as part of

Background and purpose: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) based online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) has been clinically implemented for several anatomical sites worldwide. However, random and abrupt anatomical changes with large density alterations can occur in lung patients, leading to uncertainties with synthetic computed tomography (sCT) and dose calculation. The anatomical changes could be
Extrema klimathändelser, såsom betydande översvämningar, utgör en risk för naturkatastrofer. På grund av klimatförändringarnas effekter förväntas södra Sverige få fler betydande regnväder som kan orsaka översvämningar i allt högre grad med mängden utsläpp. I denna studie undersöks dagens och framtidens översvämningsrisk i ett litet område i denna region, inom Kävlinges avrinningsområde. I det framExtreme climate events, such as significant flooding, pose a natural disaster risk. Due to climate change effects, the southern region of Sweden is anticipated to receive more significant rainstorms that could cause flooding increasingly with the quantity of emissions. This study examines the present-day and future climate’s flooding risk in a small area in this region, within the Kävlinge Watersh
Urban greening is increasingly promoted as a strategy for sustainable city development, yet it often carries hidden social costs. This thesis explores the green rehabilitation of Budapest’s 8th district, Józsefváros, a historically diverse neighbourhood undergoing significant change. Using critical urban theory, the right to the city, and feminist urbanism, this study examines how sustainable urba
Den här uppsatsen har syftat till att undersöka flexicurity och dess underkategori kallad employment security och hur dess utbredning har påverkat arbetsmarknaderna i Sverige och Italien, och genom en komparation av dessa båda kombinerat med en ordentlig utredning kring flexicuritybegreppet försökt ge en bild av huruvida den är en strategi för framtiden för EU som helhet. Båda länderna har i ett h
Because societies, companies and people are different, there are different views on corporations' roles and responsibilities. The purpose of this study is to understand what, why and how some business organizations benefit and create business cases from corporate responsibilities and sustainability. It investigates which aspects motivates three companies, IKEA, Skanska and Trelleborg AB, using
The world is constantly changing, and business strategies are changing with it. Companies are offering new delivery options and technologies for customers globally when doing purchases. IKEA, a global furniture retailer, is expanding their touchpoints by opening retail stores in city centre locations in order to become more accessible. The ways customers travel in urban areas are more varied incl
The purpose of this project is to investigate the performance of a spectrometer capable of measuring both momentum and spin of particles. More specifically, we investigated what parameters are required in order to separate particles with opposite spins at least 1 mm. This project can serve as the first step in the process of building such a spectrometer. This spectrometer takes the core principle
Sodium chloride (NaCl) has been proposed as a retrospective and prospective dosemeter for optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry. The potential for NaCl pellets for individualised in situ dose assessment during a radiological or nuclear emergency was enhanced by their suitability with a portable OSL reader. The current paper studies the possibility of developing a public dosimetric badg

1 Fetma utgör ett folkhälsoproblem med ökad risk för ett flertal olika sjukdomar. Trots detta finns det många aspekter av fetma på individnivå som inte är klarlagda. Ett exempel på detta är att det finns olika typer av fettväv med olika effekter på skiftande anatomiska lokalisationer, ett annat är att det förefaller finnas individer med fetma som undgår eller senarelägger de förväntade komplikatio
