ABSTRACT Background: In the growing body of knowledge on how human environment impacts population health, the transport sector is observed to occupy strategic position. However, the transport corridors equally serve as sources of socio-economic challenges. Such is the case of the transport sector’s contribution to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In this respect, truckers are observed to carry a disproporti
BACKGROUND Men and women with type 2 long QT syndrome (LQT2) exhibit time-dependent differences in the risk for cardiac events. We hypothesized that data regarding the location of the disease-causing mutation in the KCNH2 channel may affect gender-specific risk in LQT2. OBJECTIVE This study sought to risk-stratify LQT2 patients for life-threatening cardiac events based on clinical and genetic info
In early 2026, the European Union (EU) adopted the Omnibus I proposal to simplify the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by reducing reporting burdens and enhancing competitiveness. However, it has been criticised for weakening sustainability ambitions and increasing uncertainty about future sustainability reporting. This thesis examines how sustainability professionals percei
This thesis presents a complete digital back-end implementation of a PN-dither least-mean-squares (LMS) background calibration scheme for a 12-bit, 500 MS/s pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The target converter, designed by a parallel analog project, comprises four 3-bit stages and a 4-bit final flash stage; its actual inter-stage gains depart substantially from their nominal values, re
Background and purpose — Different marker-selection methods are applied to represent implant and tibial seg-ments in radiostereometric analysis (RSA) studies of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Either a consistent set of markers throughout subsequent RSA examinations (“consistent-marker method”) is used or all available markers at each follow-up (“all-marker method”). The aim of this secondary analy
Background: Sweden recently adopted new labor induction guidelines lowering the threshold for post-term pregnancies to 41+ weeks. Despite evidence-based foundation, these guidelines stirred controversy among maternity care professionals, who voiced concerns about potential risks and unintended consequences, such as a rising Caesarean section rate. Midwives also highlighted potential impacts on the
Energy efficiency and environmental questions have gained increased attention over the last decade. In combination with global warming and increasing cooling demands, the Swedish market for combined heating and cooling solutions such as ground source heat pumps expands. As it currently stands, the multi-family building market is highly dominated by district heating, while the market share of combi
Sustainability transition research investigates why the necessary change towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production has not yet been achieved and how it can be accelerated. Taking into account the complexity of the globalised dynamics underlying today's sustainability challenges, it has been suggested that the existence of global regimes limits the possibilities for change
The last century has been a turbulent period in Cambodia, yet in the recent decades it has emerged from conflicts and humanitarian crises and become one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. This transformation was enabled in large part by foreign aid (ODA) and foreign direct investment (FDI). This thesis analyses the mechanisms by which ODA and FDI influenced the economy individually and in c
As mass timber construction gains momentum worldwide, cross-laminated timber (CLT) has emerged as an important material in the built environment. However, the combustible nature of wood presents challenges and fire safety concerns, and a key interest with respect to CLT is the adhesive bond line. CLT is commonly used in ceiling configuration, and current fire stability evaluations rely predominant
Efforts to regulate transnational corporations in the context of human rights are not new. They traced back to the early 1970s, when the United Nations first initiated attempts to study the impact of transnational corporations on the international development process and proposed a United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations, an initiative that ultimately stalled. A renewed attemp
Traditional change management models have been widely used to manage organisational change. However, this integrative literature review paper questions their relevance in environments characterised by complexity due to the intricate nature of challenges and uncertainties in these contexts. A novel framework is developed, encompassing key elements required to facilitate change in complex environmen
The main monitoring method during labor is cardiotocography, CTG, which measures the fetal heartbeat, FHR, as well as the uterine contractions, TOCO. The CTG is a valuable tool in assessing the fetal status and it is evaluated intermittently by clinicians during the progress of the labor. However, abnormalities in the CTG are often non-specific which makes the interpretation difficult and inconsis
There is strong evidence that climate change has a direct impact on humans and extreme temperatures have been linked to negative health impacts and increasing mortality. The heat wave of 2018 caused up to 8.2% more deaths compared to the year before in Sweden, with higher impacts in other parts of the world. The fact that people spent almost 90% of their times indoors makes the indoor environment
The triple planetary crisis exerts high pressure on countries to transform their current economic system. The transition to a green economy is not only necessary to ensure sustainable development but also essential for countries to remain economically competitive. The neighbouring countries Panama and Costa Rica are both facing significant challenges under the green transition, despite their diffe
