OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life in survivors of endometrial cancer (EC); and to identify common problems that they may encounter, in the hope of paving the way to improving their quality of life. STUDY DESIGN: We investigated and compared the health conditions and quality of life between EC survivors and the general population as a control group.
This chapter focuses on how sense of coherence (SOC) impacts health, mental health, QoL and health behaviour, presenting the current state of knowledge from a population and a professional perspective. The first research around the SOC concept was focused on general samples in large population studies aiming at testing the SOC scales. Thereafter, professionals in the health-care sector run researc
Assembly of MHC class I molecules in the ER is regulated by the so-called loading complex (LC). This multiprotein complex is of definite importance for class I maturation, but its exact organization and order of assembly are not known. Evidence implies that the quality of peptides loaded onto class I molecules is controlled at multiple stages during MHC class I assembly. We recently found that tap
Depression and anxiety disorders are recognized as major public health problems with substantial personal, economic and social burden on those afflicted and their families. Despite this the development of quality of life research has been rather slow in the field but it is evident both from epidemiological and clinical studies that persons with major depression have a substantially lower subjectiv
The purpose of this study was to examine whether the quality of measured x-ray beam data can be judged from how well the data agree with a semiempirical formula. Tissue-phantom ratios (TPR) and output factors for several accelerators in the energy range 4-25 MV were fitted to the formula, separating the dose contributions from primary and phantom-scattered photons. The former was described by expo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Grönsaker andas och efter skörd innebär det att de börjar brytas ner. Broccoli är en grönsak som bryts ner snabbt på grund av sin höga andningshastighet, även kallad respirationshastighet. För att förlänga hållbarheten förpackas den ofta i plastförpackningar med syfte att förhindra nedbrytningen och sänka andingshastigheten. Plastfilmer har olika genomsläpplighet för gaThe modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of vegetables is used with the aim of prolonging the shelf-life of the packaged produce. The packaging material consists of a permeable film and as a result of the respiration of the produce and gas diffusion through the film, the O2 decreases and the CO2 increases inside the package. This thesis has focused on the MAP of broccoli and the effect of the packa
This paper describes the challenges concerning measuring quality within the field of emergency response, and discusses specific examples within fire response. Using quality as a standard of measurement to evaluate response efforts of trained personnel at emergency events can lead to increased effectiveness in the response phase of an emergency event; thereby saving additional lives, property, and
Quality systems are being adopted by the Swedish building industry to an increasing degree. The present paper examines two categories of specialist contractors — electrical contractors, and plumbing, heating and ventilation contractors — and the introduction of quality systems in these environments. The companies were assessed in terms of the ISO 9001 standard and the Crosby Quality Management Mat
A good quality of life (QoL) can be regarded as the ultimate goal of psychiatric treatment and rehabilitation. The objective of the present thesis was to study the how the QoL of patients with schizophrenia was related to their social functions and varying social environments. Psychiatric services have undergone major changes in the last 50 years, from an asylum-based model to community psychiatry
Trauma accounts for around 4.4 million deaths annually and is among the leading causes of death, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries. Trauma quality improvement programmes may reduce adverse patient outcomes but lack robust evidence. This study assessed the effect of implementing a trauma quality improvement programme using audit filters on health-related quality of life
The study examines the narratives of the Decembrist revolt created in and around Russian state-funded cinema. By exploring the narratives surrounding a particular instance of political dissent in the past, the research seeks to uncover the factors that impact on the negotiation of cultural memory between the text and the audience in the context of state-influenced media. This exploration is based
Although the economic impact of standards has been investigated for over two decades, the effect of the entire quality infrastructure, encompassing standards, conformity assessment, accreditation, metrology, and market surveillance, has been examined primarily through specific case studies. The objective of this analysis is to conduct an econometric analysis to assess the economic value of quality
