OBJECTIVE: Health system resilience can increase a system's ability to deal with shocks like floods. Studying health systems that currently exhibit the capacity for resilience when shocked could enhance our understanding about what generates and influences resilience. This study aimed to generate empirical knowledge on health system resilience by exploring how public antenatal and childbirth healt
A search for long-lived particles decaying into hadrons and at least one muon is presented. The analysis selects events that pass a muon or missing-transverse-momentum trigger and contain a displaced muon track and a displaced vertex. The analyzed dataset of proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV was collected with the ATLAS detector and corresponds to 136 fb-1. The search employs dedicated reconstr
Bakgrund Framväxten av hälsoapplikationer som gör det möjligt för patienter att kontakta och kommunicera med vårdpersonal digitalt kan förändra hur patienter ser på sin vård och hur de kontaktar vårdpersonalen (WHO, 2011). Digitala system kan också, utifrån sin design, ge förutsättningar för relationscentrerad vård genom att patienterna ges möjlighet att, i samverkan med vårdpersonalen, vara aktiv
Vårt traditionella jordbrukslandskap är centralt för att bevara biologisk mångfald, men det moderna jordbruket har medfört förändringar som bidragit till en utarmning av mångfalden. Detta hotar de ekosystemtjänster som naturbetesmarker och deras mångfald kan bidra med. Sverige har i tusentals år haft betesdjur som en integrerad del av matproduktionen, vilket har format landskap med en variation av
The arrival of new genetic technologies that allow efficient examination of the whole human genome (microarray, next-generation sequencing) will impact upon both laboratories (cytogenetic and molecular genetics in the first instance) and clinical/medical genetic services. The interpretation of analytical results in terms of their clinical relevance and the predicted health status poses a challenge
Globalisation traps, balkanisation, class polarisation, the dominance of transnational companies and the subordination of transnational migrants are all part of the imaging broadcast over the global media, and they merge with experiences of fear and joy in the countdown to the next millennium. The globalisation of fragmentation consists in driving a class wedge through the ethnic groups themselves
Abstract Background. The availability of quality assured, population-based cancer registries and biobanks with high quality samples makes it possible to conduct research on large samples sets with long follow-up within a reasonable time frame. Defined quality for both cancer registries and biobanks is essential for enabling high quality biobank-based research. Recent networking projects have broug
Osteoporosis is a common complex disorder in postmenopausal women leading to changes in the micro-architecture of bone and increased risk of fracture. Members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) gene family regulates the development and physiology of bone through the Wnt/β-catenin (Wnt) pathway that in turn cross-talks with the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway. In
Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and cathodoluminescence (CL) have proved during the past few years to be tremendous tools to study surface plasmons in metallic nanoparticles, thanks to an extremely high spatial resolution combined with a broad spectral range. Despite their apparent close resemblance, qualitative differences between EELS and CL have been theoretically as well as experiment
A search is presented for narrow diboson resonances decaying to [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] in the final state where one [Formula: see text] boson decays leptonically (to an electron or a muon plus a neutrino) and the other [Formula: see text] boson decays hadronically. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb[Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] coll
Background: The evidence about nitrosamines and heme iron intake and cancer risk is limited, despite the biologic plausibility of the hypothesis that these factors might increase cancer risk. We investigated the association between dietary nitrosamines and heme iron and the risk of prostate cancer among participants of European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Methods: D
We present a model for developing health services for men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa and other places where MSM are heavily stigmatized and marginalized. The processes of the SPEND model include Safe treatment for sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and HIV; Pharmacy sites for treatment of STIs in countries where pharmacies and drug stores are the source of medical advi
Abstract in UndeterminedThis article points to four worrisome aspects of the Court’s reasoning in Rantsev v. Cyprus and Russia. First, the Court takes on board the concept of ‘human trafficking’ without offering any meaningful legal analysis as to the elements of the human trafficking definition. Second, the adoption of the human trafficking framework implicates the ECtHR in anti-immigration and a
A search for production of supersymmetric particles in final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum, and at least one hadronically decaying tau lepton is presented. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment in root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess above the Standard Model background expectation was observed in 2.05 fb(-1) of data. The res
The purpose of this case study was to explain the impact of peer education to promote behavioural change in a student community. The ABC behaviours to abstain, be faithful and use condom have been central and unique behavioural approach to reduce HIV infections in the 1990s in Uganda. Behavioural and empowerment theories, including diffusion of innovations, are central for this study. Semi-struc
This thesis is concerned with the examination of the Swedish vowels /ɛ:/ and /ø:/ for qualitative differences between their pre-r allophones and the allophones occurring in other contexts. For this purpose, electromagnetic articulography and speech recordings were carried out on Swedish speakers from the two dialectal areas Malmö and Stockholm. Articulatory and acoustic analyses of the collected d
The purpose with this thesis was to investigate the recovering process of former child soldiers in Northern Uganda through the perspective of professionals. Data have been collected through eleven semi-structured interviews conducted in the districts Gulu, Pader and Lira. The eleven respondents come from eight different organizations who all work with former child soldiers and their psychosocial a
This paper explores Europeanization of the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs by looking at the impact of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) on the Ministry. Despite being intergovernmental, voluntary, governed by treaties and not laws previous studies suggest that CFSP has an impact on the domestic arena. The analysis is based on the conceptual framework developed by Smith (2000) in whi
This thesis examines the Multifunctional Land Redistribution Fund, launched in March 2020 by the Danish Ministry of Environment and Food, and the outcomes this policy may propel. The Fund takes aim at multiple issues of sustainability related to land use: biodiversity loss, groundwater contamination, nutrient leaching, and rural development. The Fund is to serve as a pilot project for large-scale
