The web of relationships between wellbeing and the environments in which people live has long been recognized. However, relatively little research has been conducted about end-of-life surroundings from the perspective of the dying person. In this study, we investigate which aspects of their surroundings are particularly meaningful for the people inhabiting them in the last phases of life, based on
Se-methyl L-selenocysteine (MeSeCys) is one of the major organic selenium compounds acquired from the diet by human beings. It has been shown to have anticancer activity and cancer prevention functions. However, its antioxidant activity, largely related to its biological function, has not been well characterized so far. We here report a stopped-flow kinetic study of the reduction of the Pt(IV) antSe-methyl L-selenocysteine (MeSeCys) is one of the major organic selenium compounds acquired from the diet by human beings.

Question: What is the interrater agreement of EEG interpretation in adult comatose post cardiac arrest patients using the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) standardized critical care EEG terminology? Methods: The EEG-data were obtained from patients included in the Target Temperature Management trial (TTM), an international, multicenter, clinical trial of temperature management in c
Popular Abstract in English The Andean region and the Amazon Basin of South America have been identified as regions of origin and the domestication of many plants. Some of the food crops from these regions such as potato and cassava, have gained global import¬ance, while the majority of food crops are hardly know outside their present area of cultivation. In the first part of this study, underutiBoth the nutritional and functional properties of starch are directly influenced by the molecular structure of its polymers: amylose and amylopectin. It is therefore important to have reproducible methods for quantifying the molecular size. In the first part of the thesis, the composition, crystallinity, degree of branching, morphological, thermal and pasting properties, and susceptibility of the
High staff turnover and difficulties in recruiting and retaining experienced social workers is an ongoing dilemma in the social service child welfare. The unions request the social service offices to review the pay system and consider what social workers with long experience should reasonably earn, since the difference between the lowest and highest salaries today is small. In the public sector, i
Three-part parenting is an approach that social services in Sweden should use in collaboration around a child placed in foster care. It describes how foster home, parents and social services share responsibilities for the welfare of the child. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the state of knowledge about the approach among social workers working with children and adolescents in Sweden.
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur restaurangpersonal upplevde stress och psykiskt välbefinnande samt i vilken grad positiv förväntan påverkade dessa faktorer inom loppet av Coronakrisen under april 2020. Vidare undersöktes om det fanns köns- eller åldersrelaterade skillnader avseende stress och välbefinnande. Undersökningen gjordes som en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie genom ett webbaserat The objective of this study was to investigate how restaurant staff experienced stress and psychological well-being and to what extent positive expectancies affected these factors during the Corona crisis in April 2020. Furthermore, it was investigated whether there were gender or age-related differences regarding stress and well-being. The survey was conducted as a quantitative cross-sectional st

This paper studies the relationship between income inequality and carbon emissions in the United States between 1929 and 2019. We contribute to the literature by studying if and how the relationship has varied over time. To this end we estimate a band spectrum regression model and a smooth-varying coefficients model. Our results show that higher inequality was associated with lower emissions durin
Reablement is a multidisciplinary, home-based intervention implemented for people at risk of functional decline and losing independence aiming to optimise functioning and independence in activities of daily living. There is limited knowledge about what characterises the intervention and the role of different professionals. The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics and difference
Purpose: Some patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury initially treated with rehabilitation need ACL reconstruction (ACLR); yet, it is unclear what characterizes these patients. This review aimed to describe predictors for ACLR in patients initially treated with rehabilitation. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in the Cochrane, Embase, Medline, SportsDiscus and We
Introduction: A blood-based biomarker (BBBM) test could help to better stratify patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), reduce unnecessary imaging, to detect and treat secondary insults, predict outcomes, and monitor treatment effects and quality of care. Research question: What evidence is available for clinical applications of BBBMs in TBI and how to advance this field? Material and methods:
Mesenteric duct chylomicrons labelled with [3H]arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic (18:2) acid were injected intravenously into essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) and control rats. The rats were killed after 5, 10, 20 and 240 min, and serum and different organs were analysed for radioactivity of different lipid classes. 3H and 14C in the triacylglycerol (TG) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) fMesenteric duct chylomicrons labelled with [3H]arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic (18:2) acid were injected intravenously into essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) and control rats.

The transition to modernity signifies a fundamental change in European culture and conduct of life. Alfred Weber speaks of ”the most profound crisis that the Occidental world had experienced so far”. Crisis is the existential manifestation of modernity's constituting and regulating characteristic: contingency. Contingency means that nothing has to be the way it is, but could be otherwise as well;
Background: Hypertension is an important cardiovascular risk factor with potentially harmful consequences. Home blood pressure monitoring is a promising method for following the effect of hypertension treatment. The use of technology-enabled care and increased patient involvement might contribute to more effective treatment methods. However, more knowledge is needed to explain the motivations and

This thesis orbits around the changes in the Swedish abortion laws during the last century, and the relation to religion. The aim is to make visible the values enshrined in the first abortion law, and those in the current abortion law, as the legislation made a volte-face in the 1970’s. Today, abortion is a right and the state is the duty-bearer. This construction collides with the conscience of r
