Nudging has been discussed in the context of policy and public health, but not so much within healthcare. This scoping review aimed to assess the empirical evidence on how nudging techniques can be used to affect the behavior of healthcare professionals (HCPs) in clinical settings. A systematic database search was conducted for the period January 2010-December 2020 using the PRISMA extension for S
This article uses new quantitative data to systematically test established arguments concerning the origins of party strength in 11 West European countries between 1870 and 1939. Through time-series cross-sectional analyses and using a wide range of sources, I investigate the role of the development of parliamentarism, suffrage extension, civil society, and the adoption of proportional representat
Popular Abstract in Swedish Graviditetsdiabetes (GDM) definieras som nedsatt glukostolerans av varierande svårighets¬grad som upptäcks under graviditet och som oftast försvinner efter förlossning. GDM innebär ökad risk för såväl moder som barn. Kvinnor med GDM föder ofta stora barn och har ökad risk för komplikationer i samband med förlossningen. GDM-prevalensen varierar avsevärt mellan olika popuGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a heterogeneous disorder that is defined as carbohydrate intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Impaired beta-cell function and insulin resistance are the hallmarks of GDM. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the genetic and immunological risk factors that increase susceptibility to GDM. First, we investigated whether autoimmuni
Popular Abstract in Swedish SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Grupp B streptokocker (GBS) Grupp B streptokocker (GBS), på latin Streptococcus agalactiae, är det vanligaste fyndet vid bakteriella infektioner, som blodförgiftning (sepsis), hjärnhinneinflammation (meningit) och lunginflammation (pneumoni) hos nyfödda barn. Sjukdomsförloppet är ofta våldsamt och livshotande. Sedan 1970-talet har det skett enABSTRACT Streptococci constitute a heterogeneous group of Gram-positive bacteria, divided into different serological groups on the basis of antigenic differences in a cell wall-associated carbohydrate. This thesis describes related surface proteins expressed by bacteria in two of these groups, the group B streptococcus (GBS) and the group A streptococcus (GAS). GBS is an encapsulated bacterium th
This chapter examines the relationship between individual and organizational identity in PSFs and the significant but tenuous nature of elite identity in this context. The authors identify four main identity-related issues for management control in PSFs: autonomy/conformity tensions, the client conundrum, ambiguity saturation, and intangibility. They explore three main modes of identity-focused co
Applications of physical bounds for electromagnetic radiators can be used to derive a priori estimates for antenna parameters in terms of the directivity-bandwidth product. These estimates relate the static electric and magnetic polarizability of the radiating structure to its dynamic properties. The results have previously been illustrated for dipole radiators with good agreement. Here, the bound
Sites of Lobaria pulmonaria reported from the nemoral zone of the Swedish provinces Skåne and Blekinge since 1990 were revisited. At each locality, the habitat ecology and lichen viability were investigated. A substantial decline was noted, particularly in Skåne, as L. pulmonaria was found at only 24 sites, 22 of which were forests and two were wooded meadows. The commonest habitats for L. pulmona
The environment where an embryo develops can be influenced by components of maternal origin, which can shape offspring phenotypes and therefore maternal fitness. In birds that produce more than one egg per clutch, females differ in the concentration of components they allocate into the yolk along the laying sequence. However, identification of processes that shape female yolk allocation and thus o
In comparison to other human cancer types, malignant melanoma exhibits the greatest amount of heterogeneity. After DNA-based detection of the BRAF V600E mutation in melanoma patients, targeted inhibitor treatment is the current recommendation. This approach, however, does not take the abundance of the therapeutic target, i.e., the B-raf V600E protein, into consideration. As shown by immunohistoche
The immune system is of central importance to clear-off pathogens in order to keep an organism healthy. In vertebrates, the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a genomic region that holds key genes involved in adaptive immunity and in particular in the antigen presenting process. The presentation relies on MHC class I (MHC-I) and MHC class II (MHC-II) molecules that are encoded by MHC-I and
Although mitochondrial respiration is believed to explain a substantial part of the variation in resting metabolic rate (RMR), few studies have empirically studied the relationship between organismal and cellular metabolism. We therefore investigated the relationship between RMR and mitochondrial respiration of permeabilized blood cells in wild great tits (Parus major L.). We also studied the corr
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur EU:s reglering av mellanhand-sansvar och de nya processuella skyldigheter som åläggs medieplattformar förhåller sig till det yttrandefrihetsrättsliga skydd som finns i Europakonvent-ionen (EKMR) och EU-stadgan. Uppsatsen innehåller en analys av det grund-läggande skyddet för yttrande- och informationsfriheten som stadgas i artikel 10 EKMR och artikel 1The aim of this study is to examine how the European Union’s regulation of intermediary liability and the new procedural obligations imposed on media platforms relate to the protection of freedom of expression contained in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the European Union Charter. The present paper embarks on an analysis of the foundational protection of freedom of expression a
This study examines the relationship between global news narratives and market volatility, focusing on the VIX index as a measure of investor sentiment. By analyzing financial news headlines from 2023, the research investigates whether keyword frequencies related to terms like conflict, recession, and bullish can predict changes in VIX. The study employs multiple regression, time series analysis,
Optimera inhalationsbehandlingen: Så påverkar bärarpartikelstorleken och blandningsprocessen läkemedelsprestandan Inhalering har använts som en metod för administrering av läkemedel i över 2000 år och har många fördelar mot lungsjukdomar som exempelvis cystisk fibros och astma. Lungorna är avgörande för vår andningsfunktion och ansvarar för gasutbytet mellan luft och blod. Genom att leverera läkInhalation as a method for drug delivery has been employed for more than 2000 years and serves many advantages for diseases in the respiratory tract, like cystic fibrosis and asthma. When administrating the drug directly to the respiratory tract it results in rapid effects and elimination of systemic side effects due to more targeted delivery. Dry powder inhalers (DPI) typically consist of the act
Forum för ofrivilligt celibata män, incels, har fått mycket uppmärksamhet från den samhällsvetenskapliga forskningen på grund av dess våldsbejakande och hatiska natur. Detta fokus ifrågasätts i denna studie då det bidrar till att fenomenet ofrivilligt celibata ofta ses som en manlig företeelse, vilket osynliggör ofrivilligt celibata kvinnors, femcels, uteslutning ur romantik i dagens samhälle. I d
På den Indokinesiska halvön ligger Mekongflodens avrinningsområde. De senaste årtiondena har Kina, som innehar den nordligaste delen av flodbassängen, startat ett omfattande vattenkraftsprojekt på flodens huvudfåra. Åtta mycket stora dammar är planerade varav tre redan är byggda. Länderna som ligger nedströms från Kina, nämligen Laos, Kambodja och Vietnam har på senare tid också beslutat att byggaThe Mekong River catchment on the Indochinese peninsula in Southeast Asia is currently one of the world’s most active regions in terms of hydropower planning and development. In recent decades China has launched a hydropower plan comprising eight large dams on the main stream river in the upper part of the catchment. Three dams have already been built and now also the countries in the lower basin,
We establish the theory of normal families of meromorphic functions taking values in the extended complex plane, which can be regarded as a metric space equipped with the spherical metric. Using the notion of spherical derivatives, we state and prove Marty's theorem on normal families of meromorphic functions. As a result, we deduce the classical Montel's theorem on relatively compact fami
