Background: The purpose of this project was to develop a telemedicine platform that supports home site monitoring and integrates biochemical, physiological, and dietary parameters for individual patients with hepatic glycogen storage disease (GSD). Methods and results: The GSD communication platform (GCP) was designed with input from software developers, GSD patients, researchers, and healthcare p
Objective: To determine the effect of a nature-assisted rehabilitation programme in a group of patients with reactions to severe stress and/or mild to moderate depression. Changes in sick-leave status and healthcare consumption in these patients were compared with those in a matched population-based reference cohort (treatment as usual). Design: Retrospective cohort study with a matched reference
This Letter presents a search for new resonances decaying to final states with a vector boson produced in association with a high transverse momentum photon, V gamma, with V = W(-> l nu) or Z(-> l(+)l(-)), where l = mu or mu. The measurements use 20.3fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector. No deviations from the Standard
Background Today, dislocated femoral neck fractures are commonly treated with a cemented hip arthroplasty. However, cementing of the femoral component may lead to adverse effects and even death. Uncemented stems may lower these risks and hydroxyapatite (HA) coating may enhance integration, but prosthetic stability and clinical outcome in patients with osteoporotic bone have not been fully explored
In the study presented in this paper a single-cylinder Scania D12 diesel engine has been converted to work as a pneumatic hybrid. During pneumatic hybrid operation, the engine can be used as a 2-stroke compressor for generation of compressed air during vehicle deceleration and during vehicle acceleration the engine can be operated as an air-motor driven by the previously stored pressurized air. T
Svensk sammanfattning När 1998 års sexköpslag lanserades innebar den en helomvändning för den svenska synen på prostitution. Tankarna hade emellertid legat och grott och i lagförarbeten kan de härledas tillbaka till en kritisk kommentar i samband med prostitutionsreglementets behandling år 1910. Det tog närmare 90 år för maktens penna att uppmärksamma köparens betydelse för fenomenets existens. D
The society’s population is growing older and it is more common with alcohol related prob-lems. Because of that, our purpose with this study was to describe how staff in municipal el-derly care perceives, manage and treat older people with alcohol use and abuse. We have cho-sen to interview staff in three retirement homes and three assisted living groups in three dif-ferent places, a total of six
Detta arbete har haft till syfte att besvara frågan om hur en apptillverkare ska hantera momsen när apparna säljs på marknaden inom EU. Frågan har besvarats genom en utredning om vad moms är. Även frågan om vilken stat som har rätt att få moms har utretts. Moms är en indirekt skatt vilket betyder att någon annan är skattskyldig för skatten än den som ska bära dess kostnader. Detta har lösts så attThe purpose of this paper is to investigate and clarify how an app manufacturer should handle VAT regarding apps sold to users within the EU. By investigating what VAT is, and deciding which state has the right to receive VAT for each product sold, I will show how VAT should be handled in different situations. VAT is an indirect tax, which means that someone else than the person who is to bear its
This thesis explores stigma in regards to access to education for children affected by HIV/AIDS in Vietnam and strategies to overcome stigmatization. This study is based on previous research which claims that HIV-related stigma causes isolation, bullying and social exclusion among affected groups. As a result, Goffman’s theory of stigma was used together with Bourdieu’s theory of capital and Fouca
In the state of Acre, Brazil, there is ongoing land use change, where inhabitants of this part of the Amazonian rainforest practice shifting agriculture. Practicing this type of agriculture is, according to the SKY Rainforest Rescue organization, damaging to forest ecosystems. This organization aims to educate people in how to maintain sustainable agriculture. By monitoring this shift in agricultu
The right to health for persons with disabilities in the global South is far from being realized. The 2011 World Report on Disability suggests that the majority of persons with disabilities live in low- and middle-income countries. Further studies suggest that around 80% of persons with disabilities in global South countries report poor health. With this in mind, this thesis will focus on the righ
The thesis aims at understanding local forms of governance and the relationship with representational democracy. The object of study is Malmo city and its participation in a network consisting of larger cities, called Eurocities. The theoretical base is gathered from the governance field, more particularly governance network and multilevel governance theories. The use of networks and lobbying pose
Randomised controlled trials are increasingly conducted as embedded, nested, or using cohorts or routinely collected data, including registries, electronic health records, and administrative databases, to assess if participants are eligible for the trial and to facilitate recruitment, to deliver an embedded intervention, to collect trial outcome data, or a combination of these purposes. This repor
The risk of major amputation is higher after urgently planned endovascular therapy for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this nationwide cohort study was to compare outcomes between patients with and without DM following urgently planned open revascularization for CLTI from 2010 to 2014. Out of 1537 individuals registered in the Swedish Va
A search for charged Higgs bosons decaying into a top quark and a bottom quark is presented. The data analysed correspond to 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The production of a heavy charged Higgs boson in association with a top quark and a bottom quark, pp → tbH+ → tbtb, is explored in the H+ mass range from 200 to 2000 GeV using fi
Abstract: A search for a high-mass Higgs boson H is performed in the H → WW → ℓνℓν and H → WW → ℓνqq decay channels using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1 collected at s=8(Formula presented.) TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No evidence of a high-mass Higgs boson is found. Limits on σH × BR(H → WW) as a function of the Higgs boson mass
