Objectives: To study the prevalence of comorbid conditions at diagnosis and during follow-up in a cohort of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) followed prospectively over 20 years, and to identify possible early predictive factors for future comorbidities. Methods: A community-based cohort of 183 patients (mean age 52 years, 63% female) with early RA was recruited between 1985 and 1989.
This chapter monitors the different pillars of old-age pension schemes and discusses coherence and coordination, primarily between public schemes and occupational pension schemes, with the example of the reformed Swedish model. The chapter also takes into account both labour and tax-related consequences. While the public pension scheme in Sweden was already subject to significant reforms 20 years
How do joint measures of premorbid cognitive ability and familial cognitive aptitude (FCA) reflect risk for a diversity of psychiatric and substance use disorders? To address this question, we examined, using Cox models, the predictive effects of school achievement (SA) measured at age 16 and FCA—assessed from SA in siblings and cousins, and educational attainment in parents—on risk for 12 major p
OBJECTIVE: To explore the interactions concerning the frail and elderly patients having to do with discharge from acute hospital wards and their participation in medical decision-making. The views of the patients and the medical staff were both investigated.DESIGN: A qualitative observational and interview study using the grounded theory.SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: The setting was three hospitals in
The aim of this study was to examine whether autoantibodies to: ZnT8-Tryptophan (ZnT8WA), ZnT8-Arginine (ZnT8RA) or ZnT8-Glutamine (ZnT8QA) correlated with C-peptide or other autoantibodies and to assess diagnostic sensitivity of ZnT8WRQA. Specimens from 270 newly diagnosed diabetic subjects (age 15--34 years) and after five 5 years duration of disease were examined. Four linear regression models
There are increasing reports of deaths and serious complications associated with the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Bleeding may occur in patients when NPWT is applied to a wound with exposed blood vessels or vascular grafts, possibly due to mechanical deformation and hypoperfusion of the vessel walls. Recent evidence suggests that using a rigid barrier disc to protect underlying t
The purpose of this study was to look at two autobiographies through qualitative methods. The main purpose has been to highlight how individuals describe themselves, the consequences of social aspects (family and friends) in depression they have experienced and their turning points: the way out of the depression. To study this, I have used the following questions as starting points: How do the dep
Mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is essential for us humans to curb climate change. Around a fifth of the anthropogenic GHG emissions stem from the construction sector. Much come from energy used for space and water heating within buildings, but an increasing proportion comes from the manufacturing of the building materials and is virtually embodied within buildings. This is called Emb
Statliga och kommunala myndigheter inköp av byggentreprenader, varor, tjänster och byggkoncessioner måste föregås av ett upphandlingsförfarande enligt Lag om offentlig upphandling (2007:1091). En leverantör som inte anser att myndigheten agerat korrekt kan ansöka om överprövning i förvaltningsdomstol av upphandlingen eller ett avtal som myndigheten ingått enligt 16 kap. 4 § lagen om offentlig upphSwedish authorities that intend to purchase public goods, services and public works contracts are obliged to initiate a public procurement procedure according to the Swedish law of Public Procurement Act (2007:1091). An economic operator can initiate a review in a public administrative court if the authority has not procured correctly according to Chapter 16 § 4 of the Public Procurement Act. The
Termen entreprenadavtal är inte definierad i lagstiftning. Begreppet kan förstås som ett avtal där entreprenören åtar sig att utföra avtalade bygg- och anläggningsarbeten för beställarens räkning där den senare är tillförsäkrad en ändringsbefogenhet genom att fortlöpande kunna ändra motpartens åtagande. I avsaknad av lagstiftning är bruket av gemensamt upprättade standardavtal omfattande på områdeCommercial construction contracts are not defined in Swedish law. The term can be understood as a contract where the employer agrees to construct the works on the employer’s behalf and the latter retains the right to alter the commitment of the former during the term of the agreement. Due to the lack of legislative regulation, jointly drafted standard agreements are used to a great extent. AB 04 i
Within this research project I aim to get a better understanding of how a tourist experience is constructed in an arena like Svalbard where there is a lot of different interests from different actors. By analysing travel forum discussions about Svalbard as a destination and complement them with my diary notes from the field trip to Svalbard, I come to the conclusion that the mindscape of tourists
The anticipated climate changes are predicted to alter the precipitation patterns in Sweden. Increased episodes of intense short-duration rainfall and higher intensities of day long-duration rainfall are expected. Road sections are often a target of flooding, causing impassable roads, due to the lack of capacity of drainage systems. One of the factors determining the water flow to a depression is
As current approaches of climate change communication addressing the public have proven rather ineffective not triggering action on climate change, including behaviour changes in a more sustainable direction, this thesis seeks to lay the basis for prospective climate change communication strategies addressing German university students and therefore, to contribute to climate change communication s
Den digitala utvecklingen har gått mycket snabbt vilket omvärlden på flera sätt har varit tvungen att anpassa sig efter. En åtgärd från den Europisks unionens sida som har vidtagits i försök att anpassa sig är framtagandet av GDPR. GDPR syftar bland annat till att skydda person-lig integritet genom att reglera behandling av personuppgifter. I denna uppsats har fokus legat på att undersöka hur tillThe digital development has progressed rapidly, which the surrounding world has had to adapt to in several ways. One measure taken by the European Union to adapt, is the development of GDPR. GDPR aims, among other things, to protect personal integrity by regulating the processing of personal data. The objective of this paper has been to investigate the lawful basis "legitimate interest&qu
The purpose of this thesis was to study the correspondence of occupant load factors determined by the guidance document of Finnish National Building code and the real occupant loads measured from shopping malls. The correspondence of occupant load factors determined according to Finnish National Building Code were compared with the occupant load factors determined in other national and internat
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur uppmärksamhet påverkades av manipulationerna: tyst, vitt brus, en dialog och två parallella dialoger. Deltagarna delades först, med hjälp av självskattning för uppmärksamhet, in i grupper om hög och låg uppmärksamhetsnivå. Genom ett e-Corsi Spatial Span- test, Go/No Go- test och igenkänningstest i olika manipulationer, erhölls uppmärksamhetspoäng för att vi
