The Swedish healthcare system is facing a substantial challenge in competence provision, with skilled staff needed in both the private and public sectors. The Swedish government is investing heavily in initiatives and mapping projects aimed at securing future competence supply. This study aims to identify which factors have the greatest impact on healthcare employees' decisions to either leav
PURPOSE: Provision of adequate support is much needed to secure equal educational opportunities for students with developmental language disorder (DLD). Important perspectives on support provision and its impact on academic progress are held by school professionals, caregivers, and students with DLD. This study sought to further the current knowledge on the perceived relation between educational s
This study investigated the changes in the physical activity of Japanese breast cancer survivors during and after the state of emergency declaration (SOED) due to the spread of COVID-19. Participants were survivors of stage I-IIa breast cancer diagnosed between the ages of 18 and 60 years who wore a wearable device (Fitbit Versa) before and after the SOED period. Outcomes included steps per day on
AIMS: To build a comprehensive biobank integrated in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (SwedeHF) comprising comprehensive clinomic data, proteomic, transcriptomic and genomic information in combination with clinical and diagnostic characteristics and additional ICD-code registry data.METHODS: Blood and urine samples will be biobanked at SwedeHF registration with an optional second sampling after
BACKGROUND: The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs3) following abdominal surgery varies across surgical specialties. It remains unclear to what extent the incidence of PPCs is attributable to known patient-related factors and anaesthesia duration, rather than to differences inherent to the surgical specialty itself.METHODS: Post-hoc analysis of an observational study describi
Background The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to (i) evaluate effects of exercise on cancer-related lymphedema (CRL) incidence, and (ii) explore whether effect differed according to patient and exercise intervention characteristics. Methods A search of 6 electronic databases was undertaken to identify intervention studies published up to May 2025. Studies included individu
We investigate the ecological and evolutionary variables that best explain spatial diversity patterns of anuran amphibians in three of South America's most diverse and geographically widespread biomes: the Cerrado, Amazonia, and Atlantic Rainforest. We used Conditional Autoregressive Models to assess the potential influence of present-day climate (temperature and precipitation), historical climate
Rapid urbanization in Guangdong Province has severely impacted river systems due to limited understanding of the sustainability of river connectivity and functions. This study applies the Minimum Cumulative Resistance Model (MCRM) to quantify expansion costs of natural and social processes, with their difference defined as the River Ecological Sensitivity (RES) index. Higher RES values indicate th
Wildfires are a natural disturbance shaping boreal forests, but their effects on soil microbial communities and biogeochemical cycling remain unclear, particularly in Fennoscandia. We investigated the impact of fire severity and post-fire management on the soil microbial community two years after a boreal wildfire in Sweden. We quantified growth rates of bacteria, saprotrophic fungi (SF), ectomyco
Background A valid definition of severe heart failure (HF) is essential for earlier identification, timely referral for advanced therapies, and to optimize clinical trial design. Objectives To assess the prevalence, prognostic performance, and 1-year outcomes associated with different definitions of severe and advanced HF (AdvHF) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: För att öka tillgången på mat och att generera arbeten och inkomster är det angeläget för utvecklingsländer att öka produktionen inom jordbruket. En förutsättning för detta är att eliminera produktionshinder genom att dels förbättra jordbruksmetoder, dels identifiera olika områden som är lämpliga för olika typer av jordbruk. Denna Minor Field Study (MFS) är utföThe importance of less developed countries to increase the agricultural production, in order to improve food supplies and generate employment and income, requires the removal of resources constraints by improving agricultural practices and identifying land suitable for different agricultural activities. This Minor Field Study (MFS) is made within the present Sida/SAREC-financed research project “R
Agile software development promotes process adaptability throughout the life cycle of a project. A project is often broken down into smaller tasks and each task involves a cross-functional team working with all functions. There are many different agile methods, which focus on different aspects of the software development life cycle. Two of these agile methods are Kanban and Scrum, which focus on m
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Vart tog alla humlorna vägen? När såg du senast en humla? Har du en känsla av att du egentligen borde ha sett dem oftare? Det kan finnas en fullkomligt naturlig förklaring till den här känslan: humlorna minskar i antal och håller långsamt på att försvinna. Jag vill undersöka om detta verkligen håller på att hända. Riskerar vi att få leva i en framtid helt utaAbstract Bumble bees pollinate a wide range of crops; many of them being of importance to the global economy. It is believed that pollinators, including bumble bees, are declining due to habitat loss and transformation of high quality habitats into low quality habitats; a phenomenon often associated with modern agricultural practices. Some sources, however, claim that not all bumble bee species a
This thesis compares the Swedish cities of Lund’s Meaningful Meetings and Umeå’s Curiosity and Passion - The Art of Co-Creation applications to be named European Capital of Culture (ECOC) 2014. The applications focus on two criteria of the EU, European Dimension and City and Citizens. The way the two bids worked with the criteria will reveal the process of Europeanisation – the process of creating

This thesis is a fenomenological approach to percieved pros and cons of a mature ISO14001-certificate. I've also investigated if my interviewees have expeerienced an influence from their environmental management work to their personal environmental awareness. I also sought to see if these Environmental Management Officers thought that their having the certificate influences the general environ
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how financial violence is identified and to determine the measures taken by professionals working with financial assistance in social services, focused on financially abused women. In this thesis, a qualitative research approach was applied, where data is collected through semi-structured interviews with professionally active social workers within fina
The Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) is developing predictive numerical models for simulating the waves, currents, sediment transport, and morphology change at and around coastal inlets. Water motion at a coastal inlet is a combination of quasi-steady currents such as river flow, tidal current, wind-generated current, and seiching, and of oscillatory flows generated by surface waves. Waves c
This thesis is about understandings of understanding and has developed from previous research on study skill and conceptions of learning among participants in various forms of education. The purpose was to investigate understandings of understanding as a phenomenon and the significance of understanding of understanding for learning. The investigation involved 101 persons between 12 and 75 years of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det har varit långt ifrån självklart att kvinnor ska få ägna sig åt högre studier. För hundra år sedan kom t ex medicinska undersökningar som ”visade” att kvinnor som studerade riskerade att bli sterila. I denna bok undersöker Lina Carls hur kvinnors högre studier 1930-1970 beskrivits i samhällsdebatten och i de lokala diskussionerna vid universiteten i Lund och UppsalaThis dissertation’s overall purpose has been to achieve an increased understanding of why women’s integration into universities has progressed so slowly. Through the analysis of the debates on women in higher education I have wanted to see if the main figures reproduce or contradict the discourse. I have had the aim of not only to show how the genus discourse was possibly repeated but also how in
