Data from 658 HIV-negative respondents, surveyed by a questionnaire at six sites, were analyzed descriptively and by univariable and multivariable logistic regression. A total of 453 (68.8%) of the respondents expressed interest in taking PrEP. Reporting
This thesis investigates the Danish public service station DR and the national structure of the media. As the democratic process has increasingly moved from the national level to the EU and as Danes rely on television as the main source of information on European political matters, it is only reasonable to expect the national public service station, DR, to fulfil that role, nonetheless previous st
Icke-statliga organisationer är inflytelserika aktörer i världspolitiken och utvecklingsarbeten. Under det senaste decenniet har allt fler icke-statliga organisationer, internationella och nationella, rapporterat om kränkningar av de mänskliga rättigheterna för HBTQIAP+ personer och de utmaningar som de möter i deras liv. Hur de rapporterar om dessa frågor är viktiga eftersom språk och diskurs harNGOs are influential actors in world politics and development efforts. During the last decade increasing numbers of NGOs, international and national, have been reporting on the violations of the human rights of LGBTQIAP+ persons and the challenges these people face in their lives. How they report on these issues matters since language and discourse have an influence over whose voices are heard and
Background: Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) instillation is regarded as the most effective bladder-sparing treatment for patients with high-grade T1 tumours and carcinoma in situ (CIS). The major problem with this therapy is the side-effects, making maintenance therapy difficult, even impossible, in a proportion of patients. Thus, alternative schedules and drugs have been proposed. Objective: To co
BackgroundA seven-year follow-up of heroin dependent patients treated in a buprenorphine-maintenance program combining contracted work/education and low tolerance for non-prescribed drug use. Gender-specific differences in outcome were analysed. MethodsA consecutively admitted cohort of 135 men and 35 women, with eight years of heroin abuse/dependence on average was admitted to enhanced buprenorph
Det finns inga internationella åtaganden som innebär en skyldighet för Sverige att ge parter i tvistemål tillgång till en prövning av en andra instans. Dock ska parter enligt Europakonventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna tillförsäkras en rätt till domstolsprövning och en rättssäker process. En möjlighet till överprövning av den första instansens avgöranEven though the definition of legal certainty is controversial, it may be considered generally accepted that the substantive aspect of legal certainty requires that judicial decisions are substantially right. It is also quite clear that the formal aspect of legal certainty includes a requirement of predictability concerning judicial decision making. Sweden has no enforceable international obliga
Background and aims: Oral aminosalicylates are well established in the treatment of active mild/moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) when the disease is extensive (that is, beyond the splenic flexure). The majority of clinical symptoms relate to disease activity in the distal part of the colon and therefore this study was designed to investigate if adding a mesalazine enema to oral mesalazine has addi
Voting cohesion in the European Parliament is a thoroughly studied field, however a deep dive into the kingmaker of coalition building, the liberal party group, has yet to be done. This thesis attempts to illustrate how voting cohesion varies within the Alliance of Liberals & Democrats and Renew Europe respectively, and what factors can explain variation in cohesion. Specifically, how cohesion
Objective. The first changes in the diabetic kidney are glycogen deposits in the epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of Henle. These cells produce Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP). Is low excretion of THP associated with the development of renal insufficiency or cardiovascular disease? Material and methods. Urine samples were collected at baseline in patients with type 1 (n=131) and type 2 (n=
Given preschools’ important role in shaping children’s learning and development surprisingly little is known about why some Swedish preschools are much more successful in offering high-quality early education than others. Earlier research has shown that socioeconomic gaps in educational achievements can largely be explained by knowledge gaps established during the preschool years. There may be soc
This thesis assesses the efficiency of the EU Law’s balancing act between the software developers’ copyright protection on their respective computer programs and the software users’ right to repair their defected software based devices. This research necessitates an EU legal method, implying the comprehensive analysis of EU legislation and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union
Background: The prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and fecal incontinence (FI) are conditions that increase with age. Apart from few larger studies data on prevalence and severity of UI and FI is scarce, especially among the > 80 yrs. and data of birth cohort effects is lacking. Methods: The purpose of this study was to evaluate birth cohort effects on prevalence of UI and FI in the general o
Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in most developed countries. This work summarizes state-of-the-art, and possible future, diagnostic and evaluation approaches in multiple stages of CVD, including (i) visualization of sub-clinical disease processes, (ii) acute stroke theranostics, and (iii) characterization of post-stroke recov
BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene are associated with fracture risk, and a potential mechanism is through vitamin K transport.OBJECTIVE: We investigated the relation between dietary vitamin K(1) intake, APOE polymorphisms, and markers of bone health.DESIGN: We measured bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) in a cohort of Scottish wome
Background: Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) provides highly accurate data about the migration of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) component. However, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) reflect the patients' perspective of their functional status, pain, and overall health after TKA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between tibial implant migration and change in postopera
