PM2.5 low-cost sensors are a promising trend for low-income countries, where the PM2.5 associated burden of disease is high and few measurement instruments are available. Commercially available Sensor Systems (SSys) are relatively affordable and easy to use. They are, however, not designed for or evaluated in contexts characterized by much biomass burning, regular power interruptions and/or low in

Background: Research and practice are often considered as two different worlds with different values, which causes a gap between them. Involving professionals such as practitioners, managers, decision-makers, and policy-makers in research on ageing and health might address the gap between research and practice, strengthen the healthcare system, and increase older people’s possibilities for healthy

Down-core sediment pigment concentrations from four Northern European estuaries were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to investigate phytoplankton community structure and preservation conditions over the last ca. 100 years where all sites have experienced different levels of eutrophication. Phytoplankton pigments have been shown to be useful biomarkers for phytoplankton

Background There is limited knowledge on whether prior knee surgery impacts the clinical profile and treatment outcomes for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Objectives The study aimed to (i) compare individual and clinical characteristics, and (ii) evaluate whether outcomes of first-line treatment differ between individuals with prior knee surgery and those without. Methods This study us

The risk for drinking water scarcity does not only concern developing countries and arid places. In its 2023 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified water scarcity as one of Europe’s key risks out of five in the foreseeable future. Sweden experiences water shortages more and more frequently during summer, and the need to protect groundwater resources is imperative. In

Reflections of Fire. Images of the First World War in Sweden This thesis investigates the cultural impact of the First World War in Sweden, and how it shaped Swedish images and narratives about war and neutrality from 1914 to 1935. In line with Paul Fussell, George L. Mosse, and Jay Winter, among others, I discuss the symbolic, discursive aspects of the war at a popular, everyday level. The theor

Present power system will face great challenges in several areas depending on the market economy, extensive global integration and constant need for more electric power, which will force the system to operate much closer to its stability limits. Meeting these challenges may involve improving and complementing or even total restructuring of the power systems.New technologies are emerging such as re

Popular Abstract in English Uganda is one of the youngest nations in the world. Majority of youth in Uganda are growing up in rapidly urbanizing and globalized environments that are characterized by changing social controls and breakdown of traditional norms. However, the youth still continue to face widespread poverty, high levels of unemployment, and have limited access to educational opportunitThe growing incidence and prevalence of sexually transmitted infections among young people, particularly HIV, is a public health concern in Uganda. There is increasing evidence that Ugandan youth engage in risky sexual behaviors, transactional sex, and experience sexual coercion. Most research on sexual behaviors has been limited to inter- and intra-personal factors that influence sexual behaviors

Who can pick a winner? Since 1974, various types of targeted support have at different times been directed at the development of the heat pump market in Sweden – which in the following decades oscillated violently between soaring sales and collapse. Eventually, however, small heat pumps for space heating of residential buildings have in recent years securely established themselves as a mature and

Abstract OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of age on survival and risk of subsequent fracture in men with hip fracture, applying a residual lifetime perspective. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study with 22-year follow-up. SETTING: Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden. PARTICIPANTS: Men aged 60 and older (N=226) with an index hip fracture during 1984/85.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Senare års forskning har klart och entydigt pekat på njurens viktiga roll i utvecklingen av högt blodtryck. Det är mycket sannolikt att det föreligger flera av varandra oberoende mekanismer som förklarar uppkomsten av högt blodtryck, men det är möjligt att flera av dessa, på en organfysiologisk, cellfysiologisk eller genetisk nivå kan ha gemensamma patofysiologiska länkStudies were conducted to investigate the role of macula densa (MD)-derived nitric oxide (NO) in regulation of the glomerular filtration (GFR) through the tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) mechanism. Immunocytochemical localization of the neuronal isoform of NO synthase (NOS) in the kidney showed that this isoform was exclusively located in MD cells. Whole kidney clearance measurements of GFR and mi

While scholars have explored how business has increasingly been involved in socio-political issues (Scherer et al., 2016; van der Meer & Jonkman, 2021), less attention has been given to the process of how businesses are held accountable for those issues by stakeholders (Reinecke & Ansari, 2016). Current studies show that multinational corporations are sometimes forced to take a stand on di

Background: Process evaluations are an important component in the interpretation and understanding of outcomes in trials. The Online Remote Behavioural Intervention for Tics (ORBIT) study is a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of an Internet-delivered behavioural intervention (called BIP TIC) compared to an Internet-delivered education programme aimed at children and young p

Background: Obesity among women of childbearing age is a rising public health concern due to risks of adverse outcomes and long-term obesity for the mother and child. Addressing maternal obesity through effective lifestyle interventions is important and understanding the challenges that accompany successful behaviour change may assist in ensuring long-term health benefits. Aim: To explore obese wo

The European daylight standard EN 17037 was first introduced in 2018 with the aim of encouraging building designers to evaluate and ensure adequate daylight provision in buildings. However, experience has shown that the standard’s criteria are generally perceived to be too challenging to achieve. Therefore, to suggest a more balanced threshold, this master’s thesis aims to investigate compliance r

The demand for high data rates in a wireless communication system has experienced a remarkable growth over the last years. This demand is continually increasing with the growing number of wirelessly connected devices. Thus, there is a continuing hunt for increasing the data transmission rate in wireless communication systems. To increase the data rate, the modern wireless communication system cann

In recent years, several men in Sweden have been acquitted of different sexual offences because the courts deemed that it could have occurred in their sleep. According to a leading expert, several of the Swedish acquitting cases are based on incorrect or irrelevant arguments and reasoning regarding sexsomnia. Therefore, it is important to gain a deeper understanding of how sexsomnia manifests with

As a result of climate change, temperatures have been steadily increasing in the last half century and extreme weather events such as storms, extreme heat, extreme precipitation and cold spells have been observed to occur more frequently. This comes with potential consequences for lives and health. There are several factors affecting the climate in a region. A phenomenon that has a large impact in
