OBJECTIVE: Trauma is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally, disproportionately affecting low/middle-income countries (LMICs). Understanding the factors determining implementation success for in-hospital Trauma Quality Improvement Programs (TQIPs) is critical to reducing the global trauma burden. We synthesised topical literature to identify key facilitators and barriers to in-hospita

ObjectiveEstablish proportions of patients reporting important improvement, acceptable symptoms and treatment failure and define interpretation threshold values for pain, patient-reported function and quality-of-life after participating in digital first-line treatment including education and exercise for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsObservational study. Responses to the pain Numeric Rat

In B tailbiting trellis encoder, the starting state of the encoder is set to the state at which the machine will be at the end of the encoded frame. By this means the probability of decoding error at the end of the frame can be kept low without the addition of termination bits and the consequent rate loss. We report on an extensive search for short and moderatelength convoluticinal encoders for ta

Purpose The study aims to develop easy-to-implement concomitant field-compensated gradient waveforms with varying velocity-weighting (M1) and acceleration-weighting (M2) levels and to evaluate their efficacy in correcting signal dropouts and preserving the black-blood state in liver diffusion-weighted imaging. Additionally, we seek to determine an optimal degree of compensation that minimizes sign

Background: A new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation without the race variable has been recently proposed (CKD-EPIAS). This equation has neither been validated outside USA nor compared with the new European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) and Lund-Malmö Revised (LMREV) equations, developed in European cohorts. Methods: Standardized creatinine and measured glomerular filtr

Arbetet syftade till att med mig själv som utgångspunkt undersöka metoder för att känna sig nöjd som musiker med sin prestation under och efter ett konsertframträdande. Detta har undersökts genom intervjuer med musiker, kontinuerligt förande av loggbok samt litteraturstudier. Målet var att jag skulle kunna använda den insamlade kunskapen för att känna mig nöjd och bekväm med mitt spel under min exThe purpose of the work was to investigate methods to achieve satisfaction with one’s own performance during and after a concert, using my own practice as point of departure. This has been investigated through interviews with musicians, continuous keeping of a logbook and literature studies. The goal was to be able to use the collected information to feel satisfied with my playing during my gradua

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide and the incidence is increasing. Women in low- and middle-income countries have a high mortality to incidence ratio mainly due to a lack of resources and organized health-care. A cheap and reliable breast diagnostic tool could enable an earlier diagnosis for low-resource countries and contribute to a reduction in breast cancer mortality. We

This study evaluates and compares two different wastewater treatment technologies from a life cycle perspective. The evaluating technologies are Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology with a microfiltration membrane and Iso-Disc technology. Both technologies are gaining market share and are an important step in a wastewater treatment plant to guarantee good effluent quality of water. In this study w

Den här uppsatsen handlar om de förändringar på bästa tillgängliga teknik, d.v.s. BAT, som implementeringen av industriutsläppsdirektivet (IED) har inneburit. Syftet är att diskutera hur och på vilket sätt BAT har utvecklats i Sverige till följd av IED. BAT tillhör de allmänna hänsynsreglerna vilket gör den central vid all form av yrkesmässig verksamhet. I sammanhanget är principen om BAT tillämp

Food insecurity is a reality faced by millions of people worldwide. Poor access and availability to food markets, poverty, and uncertain global system futures all exacerbate this issue. In seeking to combat food insecurity for South Carolina residents and improve the viability and resilience of local food markets around Greenville County, South Carolina, this assessment determines optimal potentia

Sustainability Reporting (SR) has hitherto been discretionary in most Asian countries; however, a new paradigm – mandatory SR – is emerging in South Korea, provoked by the EU’s SR regulation, Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The Korean government plans to enforce SR legislation in 2025, targeting large firms. However, little is known

In Sweden rises the competition between construction companies and they are struggling to get projects while they need to perform them at a good profit. The situation is forcing companies to continually develop and streamline their organization while they have high goals in environmental, occupational health, safety and ethics. An important part of the work to streamline companies is that the purc
