Objective: To assess the quality of maternal and newborn care (QMNC) in countries of the former Yugoslavia. Method: Women giving birth in a facility in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina between March 1, 2020 and July 1, 2021 answered an online questionnaire including 40 WHO standards-based quality measures. Results: A total of 4817 women were included in the analysis. Significant d
BACKGROUND: A third follow-up study, mean 40.7 years after uveitis onset, of a cohort originally consisting of 55 Swedish patients with uveitis associated with juvenile arthritis.METHOD: A retrospective study of the patients' ophthalmic medical records. The results were compared to those of the same cohort previously studied at mean 7.2 and 24.0 years after uveitis onset. In the present follow-up
Inborn errors of metabolism are genetic disorders that need to be recognized as early as possible because treatment may be available. In late-onset forms, core symptoms are movement disorders, psychiatric symptoms, and cognitive impairment. Eye movement disorders are considered to be frequent too, although specific knowledge is lacking. We describe and analyze eye movements in patients with an inb
Memory integration is how series of similar memories can merge into overlapping representations as one abstract model of behavior to anticipate present and future episodes – facilitating instrumental use of episodic experience for higher-order inferences. Previous research has showed that a novel memory of reward can travel backwards in time through episodic memory and generalize its contents to p
The continued increased exposure to chemicals and the increasing prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis makes it important to develop accurate testing methods and strategies to assess chemical sensitizers. The Genomic Allergen Rapid Detection (GARD) assay is an in vitro test method that uses the transcriptional response of a myeloid cell line, MUTZ-3, after exposure to test substances to assess
Denna uppsats argumenterar för behovet av mer forskning, förståelse och medvetenhet kring destruktiva konsekvenser av ledarskap. Företag drabbas i dag av nedskärningar, stora förändringar och hög grad av arbetsbelastning. Dessa faktorer skapar tillsammans en grogrund för mellanmänskliga konflikter inom företagen, varför ledarskap får sig en allt större och mer betydelsefull roll. Genom att utforsk
Studiens syfte var att i en klinisk kontext studera implementeringen av en psykoedukativ insats i storgrupp (Skills) för personer i nätverket runt barn med ADHD genom användning av data från olika aktörer. Aktörerna bestod av verksamhet, kursledare och deltagare i form av anhöriga till barn med ADHD. Studien använde både kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod och är således en Mixed Method design. StudiThe aim of the present study was to investigate the implementation of psychoeducation (Skills) delivered to a large group of participants that had a relationship to a child with ADHD. The study used data from multiple actors involved in the implementation; participants, the lecturers and the organization. The study used both qualitative and quantitative methods and is therefore a Mixed Methods stu
A peripheral nerve injury has a profound impact on the patient’s life and such an injury causes high costs for society. A peripheral nerve injury is a very complex injury because it involves both peripheral and central components of the nervous system all the way from targets at muscle and skin receptors up to the brain. In the neuron and its supporting cells—mainly Schwann cells—there are numerou
Pre-treatment of sisal pulp prior to its anaerobic digestion was investigated using an activated sludge mixed culture under aerobic conditions in batch bioreactors at 37 degrees C. The progression of aerobic pre-treatment of the residue in relation to the activities of some extracellular hydrolytic enzymes in the slurry was monitored. The highest activity of hydrolytic enzymes was obtained at 9 h
Background: Retinoids are vital for embryonic development; both excesses and deficiencies of vitamin A are known to give similar patterns of birth defects. Concentrations of retinol in newborns and in pregnant women have been investigated, but concentrations of the biologically active metabolite all-trans retinoic acid and its isomer 13-cis retinoic acid have not. Objective: We measured serum conc
The phase behavior over the entire concentration range for the system didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB)-sodium taurodeoxycholate (STDC)-water, at 25 degrees C, has been investigated, with emphasis on the DDAB-rich part. Polarizing microscopy, SAXS, H-2 NMR and H-1 self-diffusion NMR have been used in combination as probing techniques for phase behavior and microstructure. The system forms f
Review of a book on pietism in Sweden in the 1720s.
Review of "Sanger fra Adi Granth - sikhenes hellige bok", by Knut A. Jakobsen och Astri Ghosh, published by Verdens Hellige Skrifter, Den norske bokklubbene.
In polyandrous insects, postcopulatory sexual selection is a pervasive evolutionary force favouring male and female traits that allow control of offspring paternity. Males may influence paternity through adaptations for sperm competition, and females through adaptations facilitating cryptic female choice. Yet, the mechanisms are often complex, involving behaviour, physiology or morphology, and the
PURPOSE. Structures derived from periocular mesenchyme arise by complex interactions between neural crest and mesoderm. Defects in development or function of structures derived from periocular mesenchyme result in debilitating vision loss, including glaucoma. The determination of long-term fates for neural crest and mesoderm in mammals has been inhibited by the lack of suitable marking systems. In
