OBJECTIVES: The Swedish surveillance system aiming to reveal undetected Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) in workers exposed for vibrations is regulated by the provision AFS 2019:3. The goal for the surveillance system is to diagnose HAVS, as well as to find workers at risk for developing HAVS due to other conditions. The national guidelines stipulate examination using at least two out of four ha
Abstract in Danish:En nærmere undersøgelse af baggrunden for de reformer, som Manuel I Komnenos (1118-80) forsøgte at indføre mod slutningen af sin regeringstid, viser at disse forsøg udsprang af en tidligere knæsat holdning i Byzans over for Islam. Hvad Manuel ønskede at gøre var at bringe sin religionspolitik i tråd hermed og med den der blev ført i det konkurrerende emirat i Ikonium (Konya), me
PURPOSE: To determine the trends in anesthesia techniques for cataract surgery over the past decade and their relationship to surgical complications. SETTING: Clinics affiliated with the European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO). DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional register-based study. METHODS: Variables include patient demographics, visual acuity, ocul
OBJECTIVES: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score is the basis of the Sepsis-3 criteria and requires arterial blood gas analysis to assess respiratory function. Peripheral oxygen saturation is a noninvasive alternative but is not included in neither Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score nor Sepsis-3. We aimed to assess the association between worst peripheral oxygen saturation during onset
Introduction: This study examined the emotional impact that parents experience when confronted with an increased genetic risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in their child. Population-based screening of neonates for genetic risk of chronic disease carries the risk of increased emotional burden for parents. Methods: Information was collected using a well-being questionnaire for parents of infants identif
Why and how new migration routes emerge remain fundamental questions in ecology, particularly in the context of current global changes. In its early stages, when few individuals are involved, the evolution of new migration routes can be easily confused with vagrancy, i.e. the occurrence of individuals outside their regular breeding, non-breeding or migratory distribution ranges. Yet, vagrancy can
A search for the decay of the Higgs boson to a Z boson and a light, pseudoscalar particle, a, decaying respectively to two leptons and to two photons is reported. The search uses the full LHC Run 2 proton–proton collision data at s=13 TeV, corresponding to 139 fb−1 collected by the ATLAS detector. This is one of the first searches for this specific decay mode of the Higgs boson, and it probes unex
Many individuals with intermediate hyperglycaemia (IH), including impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), as presently defined, will progress to type 2 diabetes (T2D). There is confirmatory evidence that T2D can be prevented by lifestyle modification and/or medications, in people with IGT diagnosed by 2-h plasma glucose (PG) during a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance te
(1) Background: The Berlin questionnaire (BQ) is a widely used survey to predict obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Considering the confounding effect of obesity and hypertension on the clinical course of COVID-19, we have recently developed a modified BQ (mBQ) based on the subscales snoring intensity/frequency, witnessed apneas and morning/daytime tiredness, and demonstrated that patients with high-r
A search for a WZ resonance, in the fully leptonic final state (electrons or muons), is performed using 139 fb - 1 of data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The results are interpreted in terms of a singly charged Higgs boson of the Georgi–Machacek model, produced by WZ fusion, and of a Heavy Vector Triplet, with the resonance produc
A search for leptoquarks decaying into the bτ final state is performed using Run 2 proton-proton collision data from the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb −1 at s = 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector. The benchmark models considered in this search are vector leptoquarks with electric charge of 2/3e and scalar leptoquarks with an electric charge of 4/3e.
In response to the environmental crisis and growing consumer awareness, increasing attention has been directed towards sustainable production models centred on circularity, resource efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. Against this background, practices such as upcycling, which aim to extend product lifespans and reduce waste, have gained increased attention. The European Union has artic
Den nuvarande ökningen av icke-statliga aktörer som bedriver kommersiell verksamhet i rymden har lett till juridiska frågor om bland annat ansvar. Är det nuvarande internationella rättsliga ramverket för yttre rymden tillräckligt etablerat för att hantera övergången från ett rättsområde som en gång dominerades av stater, till ett område som idag drivs av privata ekonomiska intressen? I denna uppThe important rise of non-state actors performing commercial activities in outer space has resulted in legal issues regarding inter alia responsibility. The question is whether the current international legal framework on outer space is sufficiently established to cope with a continuously shifting legal area once dominated by States to one today driven by private economic interests. This essay i
The phenomenon of gender-based violence (GBV) and the magnitude it takes in Argentina is raising great concerns within the country, intergovernmental organisations and women’s movements. Since 2015 a women’s movement named Ni Una Menos was established to create visibility and fight for the eradication of gender-based violence in the country. Building upon the Integrative Ecological Framework, usin
Tourism has recently been acknowledged as a potential means for sustainable development. This study examined what tourism has meant for the community members involved in community based tourism (CBT) projects in rural Quintana Roo, Mexico, with regards to the sustainable development of their communities. The study used a qualitative case study research design to compare two different approaches to
The quest for effectiveness and results has become a top political priority in the international development sector during the last decade. One of the prevailing tools for effectiveness and goal fulfilment for development projects is the Logical Framework Approach (LFA). Implementing organisations, such as NGOs, are often obliged to use the LFA for planning, implementation and evaluation in order

Staphylococcus aureus är en kommensal bakterie, vars främsta nisch i människokroppen är huden och näsan. Det är också en patogen förmögen att orsaka ett stort antal infektioner, bland annat matförgiftning, infekterade sår men också allvarligare infektioner som blodförgiftning och hjärtmuskelinflammation. Meticillin-resistenta Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) är resistenta mot praktiskt taget alla ß-laStaphylococcus aureus is a human commensal bacterium, living primarily on the skin and in the nose. It is also a pathogen able to cause a wide range of diseases, including food poisoning, infection of wounds but also more serious infections such as bacteremia and endocarditis. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is resistant to virtually every ß-lactam antibiotic, making infections
Poor water quality and lack of access to improved water services continue to be problems in developing countries such as Peru, with a stronger vulnerability in rural communities. Aiming to enhance practical knowledge through a case study in the rural community of Cuncani, this thesis explores why this community has not been able to obtain a sustainable and safe water supply and how a water solutio
