Objective: This study evaluated the quality and readability of English-language internet information for adults with hearing impairment and their significant others. Design: Two keyword pairs (hearing loss and hearing aids) were entered into five country-specific versions of the most commonly used internet search engine in May 2011. Sample: For each of the 10 searches, the first 10 relevant websit
Anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder among women in the postpartum period are understudied and their impact upon maternal functioning is poorly understood. There is evidence that individuals with greater levels of psychological flexibility (the ability to persist in valued domains of living despite the presence of negative emotions/thoughts/sensations) and higher levels of social su
Objective. To examine the changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in terms of age, gender, and treatment strategy in Iran. Methods and Materials. Forty-nine patients responded to the Iranian version of the 36-item short form (SF-36) questionnaire to evaluate the HRQoL at first and third year after treatment. The paired and independentWilcoxo

The purpose of this article is to present and discuss the development of a system for assessing and improving healthcare organisations. The system components comprise (1) a framework or model for assessing, measuring, diagnosing and improving healthcare organisations, (2) a simple methodology for data collection, data analysis and prioritising improvement areas and (3) an index named ILL (innovati
Personality similarity-hypothesis has not been put to the test with longitudinal wave-data before. This study investigates the temporal aspects of personality similarity and its implications for parenting qualities. I aim to explore if an individual's personality similarity with their parents at an earlier time point can predict higher levels of child well-being, attachment style, and relation
Recently, a newly developed family of decoders named as Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoder (GRAND) has been gaining attention. The key idea of the decoder is to look for the most probable error vectors that interacted with the transmitted message, producing the received block. Among the different variations of the algorithm, the soft-input soft-output (SISO) decoder, known as SO-GRAND, emerges
Climate change and environmental degradation are some of the most pressing crises of our time, however action is lacking. In order to create system transformation, the inner dimensions of sustainability need to be addressed: values, worldviews and qualities on an individual, collective and system level. Ecovillages seem to be spaces where the integration of internal and external sustainability occ
Wetlands play a vital role globally in protecting biodiversity, purifying water, and mitigating floods. In Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, five natural wetlands are located in the city center. This master’s thesis aimed to evaluate the water quality of these wetlands and identify key pollution sources. The aim was also to analyse changes in water quality over time with respect to changes in demographics
Most previous research on foreign aid has examined the links between aid and economic growth, with tenuous results. I endeavour to estimate the impact of health aid on the health level in the recipient country, proxied by the change in the infant mortality rate, as well as examine what other country-specific factors that affect the efficiency of health aid. My results are in line with my hypothesi
Background: Lymphedema may impact patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The purpose of this study was to evaluate HRQoL after two different treatments to the 12-month follow-up point. Methods and Results: Study participants were patients with moderate lymphedema in the upper or lower limb who attended a Swedish rehabilitation program (RP) undergoing conservative treatment, or tho
This study aims to reveal the obstacles to achieving quality in distance learning during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and was based on a large sample of professors and students of universities in the Arab world (Algerian, Egyptian, Palestinian, and Iraqi). The primary aim of this research was to investigate the various ways in which students pursued their studies at home during the universi
Evidence suggests that research benefits from diversity, yet science is concentrated to a small group of countries. Diversity in physical therapy research has so far not been studied thoroughly, and this is the first study to map physical therapy research geographically. The objective was to study the frequency and methodological quality of physical therapy-related randomized controlled trials (RC
We evaluated the use of two radiolabeled lambda DNA/Hpa II substrates to detect 5'-->3', 3'-->5' single and double stranded DNA dependent exonuclease and phosphatase activities found as contaminants in restriction and modifying enzyme preparations. Looking for the meaning of the radioactive assays results in a real cloning experience, we performed a cloning simulation assay using the same conditio
Background Contact sensitisation has been identified as a factor associated with poor prognosis for patients with hand eczema. Objectives To study implications of contact sensitisation with respect to severity, quality of life (QoL) and subdiagnosis of hand eczema. Methods The study was performed as a multi-centre, cross-sectional study from 10 European clinics. All patients were patch tested, and
Adjunctive treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy has recently been shown to improve ulcer healing in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcer. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves the health related quality of life in these patients.
