Parents of children with disabilities may face higher labor-market penalties given the extra care and support required. Using Swedish administrative data, we focus on first-born children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) to estimate impacts on parental labor-market outcomes. We apply an event study approach to identify effects up to 10 years after the birth of the child. Our results show that employment an

Between 1967 and 1972, Swedish futures studies emerged as a distinct political and intellectual endeavor. In this development, the humanities and social sciences played a special role, especially through the idea that human knowledge and knowledge about a “human system” could be brought to bear on societal problems and used to forge a new approach to the future. We focus here on two scholars, hist

Background: Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) are community health workers responsible for improving the health status of people by facilitating their access to healthcare services. The life skills of ASHA are known to be effective in negotiating behaviour change in the community; however, there has been a meagre focus towards improving them. Considering this gap, we adopted a comprehensiv

Så länge människan existerat har den haft behov av hjälp och vård i samband med olyckor och sjukdom, även om den medicinska förmågan genom årtusenden varit väldigt varierande. I dagens samhälle står akutmottagningen för kunskapen, resurserna och förmågan att hjälpa människor med många akuta medicinska behov. Välfungerande akutmottagningar har därför en central roll i det moderna samhället. Den endEmergency Departments (ED) have a central role in modern healthcare, providing emergent care regardless of complaint 24/7. However, EDs are often characterized by long waiting times for patients and a stressful working environment for staff. These are features or a resource and demand mismatch, internationally known as ED crowding. Although several reports and news articles have indicated that ED

Although the consequences of hospital ED crowding have been studied extensively, the causes of crowding are still not well understood. Throughput factors in ED crowding models are difficult to study in a controlled fashion in a dynamic environment where healthcare demand changes rapidly, and physical and human resources suddenly become limited. Opportunities for automated, simultaneous, and low-co

To plan, design and build with diversity in mind is a complex process. While goals such as inclusion, participation and social sustainability may be present in the vision for a future product, service or environment, studies show that the initial vision isn’t always realized in the end result. There are still far too many products, services and environments that are hard to access or use for parts

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) is effective against prostate cancer (PCa), but all patients relapse eventually. Poor understanding of the underlying resistance mechanisms represents a key barrier to development of more effective RLT. We investigate the proteome and phosphoproteome in a mouse model of PCa to identify signaling adaptations triggered by P

For patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NET), health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is important. Meanwhile, whether tumour volume is associated with HRQoL is unknown. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess if total somatostatin receptor expressing tumour volume is correlated with HRQoL in patients with metastatic GEP-NET. Some 71 patients were included in the stu

With Euro50 as a convenient telescope laboratory, the Euro50 team has continued development aiming at a European extremely large telescope (ELT). Here, we give a progress report. The needs of science and instrumentation are briefly discussed as is the importance of photometric stability and precision. Results are reported from work on integrated modelling. Details are given concerning point-spread

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to compare the impact of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and institutional hemodialysis (IHD), the 2 most common dialysis modalities, on employment, work income, and disability pension in Sweden.METHODS: Included in this study were 4,734 patients in IHD and PD, aged 20 - 60 years, starting treatment in Sweden during 1995 - 2012, and surviving the first year of dialysi

Att skriva är en sammansatt förmåga. Det är svårt att i ord formulera vad en skicklig skribents kompetens består i, och därför också svårt att undervisa i skrivande. Ett problem vid bedömning av texter är ofta att både studenter och lärare har svårt att formulera vad som gör en bra text. Här kan metatexter vara ett stöd, för både studenter och lärare. Erfarna lärare har i regel inga problem att b

In this work a compact fluorosensor has been built for point-monitoring and imaging applications. The instrument has been applied in fluorescence studies on green vegetation and on malignant tissue. The instrument is based on a violet diode laser, an integrated spectrometer and optical fibers for light delivery and collection of the fluorescence signal. This combination makes the system very compa

This article is based on a keynote presentation at the 12th Nordic Congress in General Practice in Trondheim, Norway in September 2002. The aim was to demonstrate the strengths and limitations of evidence-based medicine (EBM) in a primary healthcare setting. The presentation comprised two separate lectures discussing an authentic case history from everyday practice that had been presented to the a

Objective. To investigate the impact on ICD coding behaviour of a new case-mix reimbursement system based on coded patient diagnoses. The main hypothesis was that after the introduction of the new system the coding of chronic diseases like hypertension and cancer would increase and the variance in propensity for coding would decrease on both physician and health care centre (HCC) levels. Design. C
