Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgår från förhållandet att mödradödligheten traditionellt varit en tungt vägande faktor för kvinnors totala sjukdomsbörda i låginkomstländer. Mödradödligheten är starkt knuten till såväl allmänna levnadsförhållanden i samhället som till tillgång och kvalitet av professionell hälsovård. Det är därför inte förvånande att mer än 99 av 100 mödradödsfall i värlMaternal health services are the least equitable health care services in most low- and middle-income countries. Improving maternal health in Ghana continues to be a major public health challenge. Socio-economic inequalities within the country are greatly reducing the use of maternal health care services despite government policy reforms to improve access to maternal health care services and interv

Stable carbon isotope analysis of terrestrial plant leaves preserved in Quaternary lake sediments has the potential to provide high-resolution reconstructions of past climatic conditions. Preferably, delta(13)C measurements should be made on a single leaf component, e.g. cellulose, but this approach is often precluded by limited leaf availability. Previous work suggests that reliable palaeoclimati

The Ukrainian Shield and Voronezh Crystalline Massif constitute the Sarmatian segment of Baltica. Here, only a few mafic-ultramafic dykes and layered intrusions have been dated, recording early Statherian (ca. 1800–1750 Ma) ages. We have determined new U-Pb baddeleyite ages for the Novogol sill (1789 ± 2 Ma) and the Gremyachye intrusion (1781 ± 7 Ma), which fall within the previously established a

The use of the magnetic-field-induced transition (MIT) in Fe X for the measurement of the magnetic field strength in the solar corona has been discussed and demonstrated in a number of recent studies. This diagnostic technique depends on, among other conditions, the accuracy of the atomic data for Fe X. In the present work, we carry out a large-scale calculation for the atomic properties needed fo

This chapter highlights the importance of collective conversations regarding how to navigate the complexity of positions, roles, stakes, interests and feelings that most researchers experience. The author explores a conversational format as a way of writing about affective reflexivity. The chapter departs in a PhD project focusing on the lived experiences of variations of sex characteristics, in o

Central venous catheter misplacement is common (approximately 7%) after right subclavian vein catheterisation. To avoid it, ultrasound-guided tip navigation may be used during the catheterisation procedure to help direct the guidewire towards the lower superior vena cava. We aimed to determine the number of central venous catheter misplacements when using the right supraclavicular fossa ultrasound

Background: A recent estimation in a psychiatric cohort showed numbers of noncompliance between 10% and 60%. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is one method assessing compliance by analysis of drug concentration in the blood. Method: During a 24-week phase IV clinical trial, five repeated serum samples of sertraline (SERT) and N-desmethylsertraline (DSERT), trough values in steady state, were coll

Higher availability of future climate data sets, generated by regional climate models (RCMs) with fine temporal and spatial resolutions, improves and facilitates the impact assessment of climate change. Due to significant uncertainties in climate modeling, several climate scenarios should be considered in the impact assessment. This increases the number of simulations and size of data sets, compli

Aim: To evaluate aerobic exercise in migraine and co-existing tension-type headache and neck pain. Methods: Consecutively recruited persons with migraine and co-existing tension-type headache and neck pain were randomized into an exercise group or control group. Aerobic exercise consisted of bike/cross-trainer/brisk walking for 45 minutes, three times/week. Controls continued usual daily activitie

A search is conducted for new resonances decaying into a W W or W Z boson pair, where one W boson decays leptonically and the other W or Z boson decays hadronically. It is based on proton-proton collision data with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. The search is sensitive to

Kriminaliteten kan börja i 9-10årsoldern bland barn som inte klarar av skolans och vuxenvärldens krav

With an ageing population and a discourse of active ageing guiding welfare policies, initiatives to engage older people in health promoting activities have been established. One growing phenomenon is Senior Summer Camps, arranged all over Sweden in beautiful natural environments close to water. Their main purpose is to enable older people to participate in outdoor activities in an institutionalize

A search for electroweak production of supersymmetric particles in scenarios with compressed mass spectra in final states with two low-momentum leptons and missing transverse momentum is presented. This search uses proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2015-2016, corresponding to 36.1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity at s=13 TeV. Events with same-

We evaluated the performance of QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus), which includes two Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen formulations (TB1 and TB2), for detection of latent tuberculosis infection during pregnancy. Eight-hundred-twenty-nine Ethiopian pregnant women (5.9% HIV-positive) were tested with QFT-Plus, with bacteriological sputum analysis performed for women with clinically suspected tub

Unilateral coercive measures are a foreign policy tool that are thousands of years old and used by states in response to foreign policy concerns. Their use has become more common throughout the 21st Century, and this raises concerns from a human rights perspective. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate that unilateral coercive measures exacerbate suffering and add additional human rights vi

Urban populations are growing rapidly with several environmental and social effects in the process. At a governance level, resources go from being regulated by federal and state institutions into being considered urban areas governed by the local government. Nevertheless, this can neglect the enforcement of existing laws for many reasons that deteriorate urban resources due to a rivalry in the typ

Syftet med denna studien är att bidra med en ökad förståelse kring hur möbel- och heminredningsbutiker kan använda sig av digitala verktyg för att underlätta konsumenters värdeskapande. Detta har studerats genom att undersöka vad konsumenter har för förväntningar på digitala verktyg samt hur digitala verktyg kan underlätta konsumenters skapande av värde. Detta har gjorts med en bakgrund i att tekn

The concept of experimentation is increasingly promoted to facilitate social learning for sustainability transitions. Experiments are collaborative initiatives designed to generate knowledge and test innovative practices to address a collective sustainability challenge. However, it is often unclear whether experiments generate any impact beyond the initial project scope. Recent literature has call
