The average Swede uses 140 liters of water everyday. This combined with the usage in industry means that Swedish municipal water treatment plants produce approximately 900 billion liters of clean and safe drinking water every year. This does not include the fact that all water flowing to a treatment plant needs to be treated before being sent back out into the environment. These facts hint at what
Background: Life skills-based approaches are broadly used in HIV prevention programmes world-wide. However, evaluations of such programmes have found mixed evidence for their effects on indicators of safer sexual behaviour. Methods: Questionnaires of 4,381 participants of the Star for Life (SFL) life skills-based prevention programme in South African schools were analysed using binary logistic reg
Adaptation, resistance or alternative identity? - A discource analysis of construction of identity among people with mental illness The aim of this study was to examine how people with mental illness construct their identities through linguistic interaction. The empirical study took place in three psychiatric centers (social psychiatry) and the empirical material was based on six focus group inte
De europeiska statsmakterna var under 1600-talet starkt influerade av idén om absolutism och under århundradet utvecklades flera enväldiga stater i Europa. En statskupp i Danmark och en stegvis förändring i Sverige gjorde att även de skandinaviska länderna blev etablerade envälden under senare hälften av 1600-talet. Syftet har varit att undersöka och jämföra enväldeskungarnas maktbefogenheter unDuring the 17th century, the regimes of European countries were heavily influenced by the idea of absolutism, leading to the emergence of several absolutist states during that time. In the second half of the 17th century, a coup staged by the king in Denmark and a gradual shift led by the king in Sweden ensured the establishment of similar absolutist states in Scandinavia. The purpose of this pap
BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) are characterized by persistent airway inflammation and airflow limitation. Measuring airway inflammation may be of value both in research and clinical practice. Calprotectin, a protein associated with neutrophil activation, serves as a potential biomarker for airway inflammation. This study evaluates the performance o
BACKGROUND: Conversations regarding health behaviours, mental health, and socioeconomic contexts are recommended during prenatal visits to optimize maternal and fetal health outcomes. This study was designed to develop and evaluate the acceptability of a clinical dialogue tool called Conversation Cards for Pregnancy (PregnancyCards for short). PregnancyCards are being designed as a practical, pers
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of pathogenic/likely pathogenic cardiomyopathy variant carriers in a multiancestry US population and examine the risk of adverse clinical outcomes. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included multiancestry US adults aged ≥18 years with sequencing data from the All of Us Research Program. Pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in cardiomy
Introduction Neoadjuvant therapy is the standard of care for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (BC). Studies on first-generation antibody-drug conjugates, such as trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), showed equal or slightly lower efficacy than chemotherapy combined with dual HER2 blockade. Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is a next-generation conjugat
BACKGROUND: The ORBITA and ORBITA-2 trials have provided valuable insights into the effects of coronary revascularization in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). However, uncertainties remain regarding the efficacy of revascularization on symptoms in large real-world populations. To evaluate the efficacy of revascularization, we used dispensed long-acting nitrates as a proxy for the presence of angina
Purpose: This investigation was designed to examine the effects of self-monitored training combined with the use of delayed auditory feedback (DAF), on the accuracy of articulation in acquired apraxia of speech (AOS). Background: The increased number of stroke survivors leads to higher societal costs when it comes to e.g., rehabilitation. Speech and language deficits post stroke can be diminished
Context. Ultra-hot Jupiters present a unique opportunity to understand the physics and chemistry of planets, their atmospheres, and interiors at extreme conditions. WASP-12 b stands out as an archetype of this class of exoplanets, with a close-in orbit around its star that results in intense stellar irradiation and tidal effects. Aims. The goals are to measure the planet's tidal deformation, atmos

A packaging company is currently evaluating their production and searching for development opportunities to make the production more effective. At the facility for packaging materials there is a production line with two machine-groups consisting of two printers and one laminator. In the present situation the two machine-groups are disconnected from each other by the use of an inventory. The purp

Responsibility to protect är en princip som presenterades kring millennieskiftet av den internationella kommissionen för interventioner och statssuveränitet. Kommissionen skapades i syfte att utveckla ett sätt att skydda medborgare som utsattes för grova och systematiska brott och då värdstaten inte ville eller kunde stoppa dessa. Utgångspunkten för R2P är att det primära ansvaret ligger på värdstResponsibility to protect is a principle developed in order to try to protect citizens from atrocious and systematic crimes when a host state does not want to or does not have the possibility to do so themselves, and was first mentioned by the International Commission for Intervention and State Sovereignty in 2001. R2P is based on the idea that each individual state has a responsibility to protect
This thesis is based on four projects with the overall aim to investigate vitamin K-dependent protein S functions in relation to its structure. The anticoagulant functions of protein S can be divided in three: 1) cofactor for activated protein C (APC), 2) cofactor for tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and 3) APC and TFPI-independent anticoagulant functions. Microparticles might be shed from
Background: Craniopharyngioma is a parasellar tumour that, although benign, tends to behave aggressively. It can occur at any age but most commonly presents in childhood or adolescence. Objectives: to investigate the frequency and severity of problems associated with craniopharyngioma, using the large international database (KIMS) for adult patients with GH deficiency (GHD), and to assess the diff

A double-blind, randomised, parallel group, multicentre, multinational study compared the effects of 12 months' treatment with lisinopril (10-20 mg once daily) or nifedipine retard tablets (20-40 mg twice daily) in 239 males (aged 18-75 years) and 96 post-menopausal females (aged 40-75 years). They all had a history of clinically stable type II diabetes > 3 months, microalbuminuria and early diabe
Human embryonic skin fibroblasts were pretreated with transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) for 6 h and then labeled with [35S]sulphate and [3H]leucine for 24 h. Radiolabeled proteoglycans from the culture medium and the cell layer were isolated and separated by isopycnic density-gradient centrifugation, followed by gel, ion-exchange and hydrophobic-interaction chromatography. The major prote
