Abstract in Danish Kapitlet handler om, hvordan patienter og pårørende har en aktiv del i sundhedsprofessionelles, herunder studerendes, læring af og i klinisk praksis. Først vises hvordan patienter mere struktureret og organiseret har været brugt i undervisningssituationer af studerende inden for sundhedsområdet. Dernæst argumenteres for læringsmulighederne i de konkrete møder med patienter og på
This paper develops an accounting framework to consider the effect of deaths on the longitudinal analysis of income-related health inequalities. Ignoring deaths or using Inverse Probability Weights (IPWs) to re-weight the sample for mortality-related attrition can produce misleading results. Incorporating deaths into the longitudinal analysis of income-related health inequalities provides a more c
A review of existing economic models in major depressive disorder (MDD) highlighted the need for models with longer time horizons that also account for heterogeneity in treatment pathways between patients. A core discrete event simulation model was developed to estimate health and cost outcomes associated with alternative treatment strategies.
Predicting the risk of future events is an essential part of health economic simulation models. In pursuit of this goal, the current study aims to predict the risk of developing first and second acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, non-acute ischaemic heart disease, and stroke after diagnosis in patients with type 2 diabetes, using data from the Swedish National Diabetes Register.
Background: While the benefits or otherwise of early hip fracture repair is a long-running controversy with studies showing contradictory results, this practice is being adopted as a quality indicator in several health care organizations. The aim of this study is to analyze the association between early hip fracture repair and in-hospital mortality in elderly people attending public hospitals in t
This article investigates the excess-weight penalty in income for men and women in the Swedish labor market, using longitudinal data. It compares two identification strategies, OLS and individual fixed effects, and distinguishes between two main sources of excess-weight penalties, lower productivity because of bad health and discrimination. For men, the analysis finds a significant obesity penalty
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att fasta under ramadan är både en glädje och ett jihad för det muslimska samfundet i Java, och fastan är utan tvekan den mest aktade ritualen i det muslimska Indonesien (och på andra håll i den muslimska världen). Att avhålla sig från mat, dryck och sexuella relationer från gryning till skymning i en hel månad i ett tropiskt klimat - och att fylla nätterna med extra frFASTING DURING THE holy month of Ramadan is both a joy and a jihad for the Islamic community in Java, and it is arguably the most highly esteemed Muslim ritual in Indonesia (and beyond). To be given the opportunity to abstain from food, drink and sexual relations from the early morning hours until sunset during an entire month in a tropical climate - only to fill the nights with additional and sup
The epidemiology and costs of repair and rehabilitation of zone 11 flexor tendon injuries in 135 patients from the southern part of Sweden were analysed. The little finger was most frequently injured (43%), usually with a knife (46%), and 30% of the injuries were work related. Total median costs within the health-care sector for the injuries were SEK 48,500 (1 EURO = 9.23 SEK, 4/1/2002). Costs in
Objective - To screen risk groups for low bone mineral density by quantitative ultrasound in primary health care. Design - Cross-sectional. Intervention - None. Subjects - Risk categories for osteoporosis (a fragility fracture, malabsorption, immobilisation, inflammatory joint disease, glucocorticoid, fenantoin or thyroxin treatment, renal insufficiency or "miscellaneous"), 775 women and 179 men a
In recent work, the concentration index has been widely used as a measure of income-related health inequality. The purpose of this note is to illustrate two different methods for decomposing the overall health concentration index using data collected from a Short Form (SF-36) survey of the general Australian population conducted in 1995. For simplicity, we focus on the physical functioning scale o
Three diagnostic tests, Nitur, Urobact, and Uricult, were evaluated in the detection of bacteriuria in 865 pregnant women. As reference method agar culture was performed. Heavy growth (greater than 10(5) CFU/ml) of urinary tract bacteria was considered a true positive result and demonstrated in 58 (6.7%) of the women, 14 of whom had gram-negative rods. The sensitivity of the nitrite test was extre
Popular Abstract in Swedish "Dom säjer de - do - dopey Swedes - but I tell you that - dom e inte så dopia" Avhandlingen beskriver språket som talas av den sista generationen svenska utvandrare till Nordamerika. Inflytandet från engelskan gör sig gällande på olika sätt, t.ex. som codeswitching, där ord eller fraser från engelskan används oförändrade ("dopey Swedes", "but I tell you that"), eller This thesis concerns two languages in contact: English and Swedish. It is based on interviews with Swedes who came to North America with the last major wave of emigration. The bilingual phenomena that appear in their speech, ranging from codeswitching to morphological, structural and semantic transfer, are considered as forming a continuum of language alternation. The study explores the opposing
We studied the effects of the national Perinatal Patient Safety Program in Sweden, addressing local improvement measures, changes in the proportion of low Apgar Score and the number of settled injury claims due to asphyxia.
BACKGROUND: GP recruitment and retention difficulties challenge the traditional general practice model. Task-shifting and relieving GPs from financial risk have been suggested to make primary care more attractive. In Sweden's multiprofessional team-based primary care system, GPs usually work as salaried employees and there is extensive task-shifting. Salaried employment facilitates mobility, poten
Självkonkordansmodellen (The Self-Concordance Model) postulerar att autonom målsättning är en primär drivkraft för välbefinnande. Standardiserade mätmetoder sammanblandar dock ofta närvaron av autonomi med frånvaron av yttre press genom användandet av 'relativa' differenspoäng. Denna studie använde ett aggregerat dataset (N = 429) för att systematiskt pröva två konkurrerande modeller: en BThe Self-Concordance Model posits that autonomous goal pursuit is a primary driver of well-being, yet standard measurement practices often conflate the presence of autonomy with the absence of external pressure via 'relative' difference scores. This study utilized a high-powered dataset (N = 429) to systematically test between a Balance Model (where meaning arises from the net difference b
Rohingya-muslimerna i Myanmar har utsatts för diskriminering och förtryck i många decennier. Sedan 2012 har våldet i Myanmar eskalerat till vad många menar är folkmord. De påstådda brotten har fått uppmärksamhet i det internationella samfundet och särskilt inom området internationella mänskliga rättigheter. Examensarbetet gör en kritisk granskning av frågor relaterade till det internationella ansvThe Rohingya, a Muslim minority group in Myanmar have been subject to discrimination and repression for many decades. Since 2012, the violence in Myanmar has escalated to mass atrocity crimes, arguably amounting to genocide. The alleged crimes have gained attention in the international community and especially in the field of international human rights law. This thesis makes a critical examination
Popular Abstract in Swedish Luften omkring oss består inte bara av gaser. I den finns det mängder av små partiklar. De partiklar som står i fokus i den här avhandlingen är mindre än 10 μm, vilket endast är en femtedel av ett hårstrås diameter. Dessa partiklar är tillräckligt små för att kunna förflyttas långa sträckor i atmosfären och har dessutom visat sig påverka människors hälsa negativt. Man hAerosol particles are found in the whole troposphere. Research regarding these particles has gained increased attention because of the effect the particles have on both health and climate. In the atmosphere, aerosol particles scatter incoming solar radiation and this has a cooling effect on the Earth’s climate. But there are particles, especially those containing soot, which can absorb sun light a
Denna uppsatsen undersöker begreppet statslöshet i en världsstruktur där fokus ligger på att erhållande av nationalitet är essentiellt vid infriande av mänskliga rättigheter. Efter andra världskriget blev många statslösa och därför undersöker jag i denna uppsats begreppet statslöshets innebörd i dokumenten från International Law Commission under 1952-1954. Jag jämför begreppets innebörd från ovans
Denna framställning utgör en rättslig analys av Gällivare tingrätts dom angående Girjas sameby. Denna dom är i skrivande stund inte slutligt avgjord utan har överklagats till hovrätten. Tingsrätten slöt sig till att rennäringslagen stred mot egendomsskyddet i regeringsformen och lämnade denna lag utan avseende. Domstolen dömde till samebyns fördel i målet med stöd av rättsinstitutet urminnes hävd.This essay accounts for a legal analysis of a case that has been ruled by a Swedish district court (Girjasdomen). This case is appealed to a court of appeal, so the matter has not yet become final. The court stated that parts of the reindeer industry law (rennäringslagen) were not applicable in the current case due to the conflict with the property protection (egendomskyddet). The court ruled in f
