The objective of this review is to examine the published data regarding quality of life (QOL) in patients with bladder cancer. Not a single, randomized controlled trial exists. Most studies are retrospective, cross-sectional, and have serious methodological flaws. There is no single QOL tool preferably used in bladder cancer. While there is no long-term data after therapy for Superficial cancer, m
Using the World Management Survey method, the authors mapped and analysed management quality in Swedish primary care centres. On average, private sector providers were better managed than public providers. Centres with a high overall social deprivation among enrolled patients also tended to have higher management quality. Management quality was positively associated with accessibility (length of w
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Inflammation i struphuvudet kan bero på annat än reflux Bakre laryngit är en form av kronisk inflammation som påverkar struphuvudets bakre del och ibland stämbanden samt ingången till matstrupen. Det kan ge upphov till symtom i form av hosta, heshet, ökad slembildning och klumpkänsla i halsen. Inflammationen kan orsakas av flera olika Posterior laryngitis (PL) is defined as an inflammation involving the posterior part of the glottal region in conjunction with symptoms. The cause is multifactorial. The aims of the work presented in this thesis were to examine symptoms, physical signs, different aetiologies and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with PL and/or oesophageal dysmotility. In paper I, a group of pati
OBJECTIVE: The Quality of Well-being Scale (QWB) is a generic measure of health related quality of life that can be used for population monitoring, measurement of clinical outcomes, or cost effectiveness analysis. We report data on the validity of the QWB for patients with fibromyalgia (FM) and compare the effect of FM to that of other chronic diseases.METHODS: The participants were 594 people rec
Background: Vertebral fractures are associated with back pain and disability; however, relatively little is known about the impact of radiographic vertebral fractures on quality of life in population samples. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of a recent radiographic vertebral fracture on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods: Men and women aged 50 years and over were rec
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) can provide valuable information for maintenance-related activities and post-disaster emergency management. However, as with any technological system, SHM systems can be susceptible to errors due to malfunctioning. Therefore, it is essential to assess the potential for malfunctions and the associated costs of maintenance and repair when evaluating the long-term b
Although multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disorder leading to progressive disability and decreased life expectancy, little is known about patients' own evaluation of their illness and factors associated with poor health-related quality of life (Hr-QoL). We, therefore, assessed Hr-QoL and its determinants in MSA. The following scales were applied to 115 patients in the European
This doctoral thesis revolves around the analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals during atrial fibrillation (AF). Special emphasis is put on the atrial fibrillatory waves, sometimes called the f-waves, which is the ECG component reflecting the electrical activity of the atria. The thesis comprises an introduction and five papers that introduce and apply methods on ECG-based analysis of AF. Pap
Recent studies find that higher degrees of democracy are related to higher levels of bureaucratic quality. However, they only offer limited explanations for this pattern based on a unidimensional understanding of democracy. We argue that future uncertainties as perceived by the incumbent, the opposition, and voters are important for why bureaucratic reform takes place. Therefore, we expect no unif
To gather information regarding how to best assist liver transplant recipients in improving their self‐care capacity and well‐being, we investigated their total health situation. A retrospective, cross‐sectional survey with up to a 10‐year follow‐up concerning experienced health and quality of life after liver transplantation (LTX) was conducted. The aim of this study was to provide descriptive da
Executing an accurate full-reference metric such as VQM can take minutes in an average computer for just one user. Therefore, it can be unfeasible to analyze all the videos received by users in an IPTV network for example consisting of 10.000 users using a single computer running the VQM metric. One solution can be to use a lightweight no-reference metrics in addition to the full-reference metric
In our experience, doctoral supervision seminars and training (and associated literature) focus the supervisor-student relationship to an extent largely leaving aspects of learning, enculturation and subject discipline aside. In 2006-2008 we therefore developed and implemented a 3-week programme compulsory for new primary research supervisors (docent degree) with a wider scope, at the faculties E
The three basic paradigms of behaviour science, association, structure, and process, were used to anchor the simulation of new forms of social organization. These have been projected by means of a behaviour, a humanist, and a growth model. The Swedish model was also included as a possible point of reference. This article summarizes the results of two experiments, one on the assessment of quality o
To survey the quality of SNP genotyping, a joint Nordic quality assessment (QA) round was organized between 11 laboratories in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The QA round involved blinded genotyping of 47 DNA samples for 18 or six randomly selected SNPs. The methods used by the participating laboratories included all major platforms for small, to medium-size SNP genotyping. The laboratories used
Popular Abstract in Swedish En fråga inom biologin som länge intresserat forskare är varför det ena könet hos många arter har så väl utvecklade ornament. Till dessa så kallade sekundära könskaraktärer (primära könskaraktärer är de som används vid själva fortplantningen) räknas till exempel påfåglars stjärtplymer och hönsfåglars kammar och sporrar. Dessa ornament förekommer oftast hos hanar och i pFemales often base their choice of mates on the expression, size or intensity, of male sexual ornaments. Indicator models of sexual selection assume that females assess male genetic quality through the expression of these secondary sexual characters. Several mechanisms that link the expression of sexual ornaments to genetic quality have been suggested. Many models assume that this link is individu
