BACKGROUND: Screening patients with columnar metaplasia of the oesophagus for adenocarcinoma is controversial owing to the low cancer incidence and diverging opinions as to whether screening improves the prognosis of these patients. Our aim was to evaluate a screening program for adenocarcinoma in patients with columnar metaplasia in the oesophagus, with focus on cancer incidence and costs.METHODS

Background: Dementia is a public health priority with a dramatic social and economic impact on people with dementia (PwD), their caregivers and societies. The aim of this study was to contribute to the knowledge on how utilization of formal and informal care varies between Sweden and Italy. Methods: Data were retrieved from two trials: TECH@HOME (Sweden) and UP-TECH (Italy). The sample consisted o

Preventive home visits (PHVs) are offered to older persons with the purpose of promoting health and preventing risks on an individual level. However, aspects of health need to be considered on a societal level as well. This study aims to get a deeper understanding of perceptions of the usability of the information compiled during the PHVs to promote health, among older persons, on a societal level

Objectives: To describe changes in Swedish primary care physicians’ use of, attitudes and intentions toward digital tools in patient care between 2019 and 2022. Design: A survey using a validated questionnaire measuring physician’s intentions to use digital tools based on the theory of planned behavior. Setting: Sample of primary health care centers in southern Sweden. Subjects: Primary care physi

Remote care is a growing area in healthcare, due to fast technological development offering suitable equipment and platform for distant medical consultation and care. Remote care includes a promise towards care that has the potential to improve the patient's quality of life, prevent unnecessary reception visits, reduce costs, and enable timely and early therapeutic intervention in situations where

Background: Evidence concerning health care use related to virtual visits is conflicting. More research has been called for regarding the effectiveness of text-based virtual visits (eVisits). Therefore, we investigated patient characteristics, diagnoses, and subsequent health care contacts after eVisits to primary care. Methods: We conducted a register-based cohort study of eVisits to an all-virtu

Although spatial resolution in fluorescence microscopy and related fields has advanced to the nanometer scale, time resolution has remained essentially unchanged and is set by the camera system’s imaging time. Yet adequate time resolution is crucial for information acquisition about, for instance, dynamical processes in cells. This acquisition typically proceeds by analyzing biomolecular trajector

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om under vilka omständigheter fängelseförhållanden kan utgöra omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling och därmed kan ligga till grund för uppehållstillstånd i Sverige. Frågeställningen är outforskad ur ett svenskt perspektiv. Det saknas i princip nationell vägledning. En person kan erhålla uppehållstillstånd i Sverige med anledning av omänsklig eller förnedrande behanThis thesis deals with the question of the circumstances in which prison conditions may constitute inhuman or degrading treatment, and thus may form the basis for a residence permit in Sweden. This has not been an area that has been explored to a great extent from a Swedish perspective. A person can obtain a residence permit in Sweden due to inhuman or degrading treatment as a person eligible for

År 2014 tog Anders Kompass, en svensk medborgare anställd för FN i Geneve, emot en rapport om franska fredsbevarande styrkor som utnyttjade och våldtog barn i Centralafrikanska republiken. När Kompass överlämnade rapporten till Frankrike, i ett försök att stoppa övergreppen, behandlades han som en visselblåsare och blev utsatt för vedergällning från FN. Fallet om Anders Kompass används som en fallIn 2014, Anders Kompass, a Swedish national working for the UN in Geneva, received a report of French peacekeepers exploiting and raping children in the Central African Republic (CAR). When Kompass handed over the report to France, in an attempt to stop the abuse, he was treated as a whistleblower and faced retaliation from the UN. The case of Anders Kompass is used as a case study to contextualiz

Background: The continuum of care (CoC) for maternal health, which includes ≥4 antenatal care (ANC) visits, delivery assisted by skilled birth attendants, and a postnatal care (PNC) visit within 48 hours of delivery, is a crucial health care package associated with survival and improved health outcomes for children and mothers. In addition, the CoC serves as a platform for delivering messages and

Uppsatsen studerar företags hantering av råvarurisk ur två olika perspektiv. I uppsatsens första del undersöks företags motiv för att agera på råvarumarknaderna genom djupgående intervjuer av särskilt utvalda företag. Resultat från intervjuerna indikerar att råvarors inflations- och diversifieringsegenskaper är båda starka incitament bakom investerares intresse att handla med råvaror. Uppfattninge

Attackerna mot USA den 11 september 2001 och bristen på legala motåtgärder ledde till att kritiken växte mot begränsningarna i artikel 51 i FN stadgan. På grund av detta började flera stater omvärdera sin rätt till självförsvar och denna omvärdering ledde enligt min mening till att flera stater skyndsamt ändrade sin statspraxis. Denna förändring i statspraxis som fler och fler stater började ta ef

Nordost om Bushveldkomplexen i Kaapvaal kratonen finns en mäktig gångsvärm av nordost-orienterade diabasgångar tillhörande ”the Black Hills dyke swarm”. Med hjälp av U- Pb metoden av mineral baddeleyit daterades fem gångar inom ålderspannet 1.87 - 1.85 Ga, där två av dem ger exakta åldrar på 1852 ± 5 Ma och 1863 ± 7 Ma. Denna gångsvärm är alltså lika gammal som lagergångar tillhörande ”post- WaterThe NE-trending Black Hills dolerite dykes make up a prominent swarm northeast of the Bushveld Igneous Complex in the Kaapvaal craton. Baddeleyite U-Pb dates of five dykes suggest emplacement ages between ca. 1.87 Ga and 1.85 Ga, with two samples yielding robust ages of 1852 ± 5 Ma and 1863 ± 7 Ma. The Black Hills swarm is thus largely coeval with the post-Waterberg dolerite sills (1.88-1.87 Ga) a

Barnpornografibrott regleras i 16 kap. 10a§ BrB. Bestämmelsen omfattar nästintill all tänkbar befattning med barnpornografi. De huvudsakliga skälen för kriminalisering är att skydda det enskilda barnet och barn i allmänhet, varav det sist angivna skälet inte preciseras något ytterligare. Alla slags bilder betraktas som straffbara, även tecknade och animerade bilder som inte har någon koppling tillChild pornography is criminalized in chapter 16 10a§ BrB. It regulates almost every aspect of child pornography. The main reasons for criminalization is to protect the individual child and “children in general” (this concept is not further specified) All forms of illustrations are seen as criminal, even drawn or animated ones which do not necessarily depict an actual sexual assault or a real victi

The object of this paper is to describe the stylistic resources in literary texts and find out how textual density in narrative texts is created. Therefore, to a great extent the lyrical features are sought in the narrative. What is explicitly expressed within the text is investigated but what is not in the text, the empty spaces, is also commented on. It is reflected upon the concretizations or t
