A 4π radiation dosemeter for use in medical radiology was designed. It is based on a solid state silicon detector, a sensor wafer, a flex card, a 3D plastic holder and a spherical stainless steel filter with a distribution of holes around the detector. The detector is attached to the wafer using only low Z material. To achieve an energy and directional response which is as uniform as possible for

Background: Air pollution can increase the symptoms of asthma and has an acute effect on the number of emergency room visits and hospital admissions because of asthma, but little is known about the effect of air pollution on the number of primary health care (PHC) visits for asthma. Objective: To investigate the association between air pollution and the number of PHC visits for asthma in Scania, s

This study investigates how Swedish students perceive apology marketing when used in response to racism scandals through a qualitative multi-case study design. An imbalance is recognised between the conventional theoretical frameworks, the emergence of social media, and the increased awareness among consumers. Subsequently, this thesis explores the applicability of conventional theoretical framewo

AIM: To investigate the need, in the Northern European setting, to perform kidney biopsy in children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome.METHODS: In this retrospective study 124 individuals aged 1-18 years with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, followed in the paediatric hospitals in southern Sweden from 1999 to 2018, were included.RESULTS: There was a median follow-up time of 6.5 (0.2-16.8) ye

BACKGROUND: Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder leading to progressive motor, cognitive and functional decline. Antidopaminergic medications (ADMs) are frequently used to treat chorea and behavioural disturbances in HD.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess how the use of such medications was associated with the severity and progression of the motor aspects of the

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: About 35% of individuals with type 2 diabetes develop persistent albuminuria, lose renal function, and are at increased risk for microvascular complications like diabetic nephropathy. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified the uromodulin locus (UMOD), encoding the most common protein in human urine to be associated with hypertension and also with chronic kidney dis

Employee benefits can be seen as an HRM practice that has received increased attention among practitioners, while scholars’ interest in this theme has been moderate. The previous research focus has mostly been on how benefits contribute to organizational outcomes such as commitment, retention and attraction of employees. As opposed to this dominant view, this study sets out to explore employee ben

The purpose of this study is to identify how gender and national belonging are intertwined, and how they effect concepts such as citizenship and integration. The study aims to identify a cultural understanding of gender in Danish political documents regarding equality and integration. In pursuit of this aim I have used a discourse analysis to identify whether the documents create different possibi

Purpose: We tested the hypothesis that low vitamin D is associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia. We also studied whether body composition, sex hormones, serum sex hormone-binding globulin, albumin corrected serum calcium, adiponectin and lipid status are associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Materials and Methods: We investigated 184 representative, randomly selected men 72 to 76 year

BackgroundCystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder characterized by chronic airway inflammation and lung function decline. CF-related diabetes (CFRD) is the main extrapulmonary complication and it is tightly linked to an impaired lung function, but the underlying mechanisms behind these observations are incompletely understood. In the present study, we aimed to compare airway microbiome composit
