Popular Abstract in Swedish Läkemedelsrelaterade problem hos äldre - Interventioner för att förbättra läkemedelsbehandlingen Läkare inom primärvården står för en stor del av den totala läkemedelsförskrivningen i Sverige och är en viktig målgrupp för läkemedelsindustrins information. Det har i flera uppmärksammade studier från Socialstyrelsen uppmärksammats att läkemedelsbehandlingen för patientIntroduction: Elderly people, in particular those residing in nursing homes, often use many drugs. In general elderly patients are at greater risk of experiencing drug-related problems (DRP), as they have multiple diseases, are using many drugs and have changed physiological status. Objectives: To describe the frequency of potential drug-related problems in the elderly and to evaluate different k

Popular Abstract in Swedish Resenärernas värderingar av kvalitet i lokal kollektivtrafik – hur man kan mäta dem, hur de varierar och hur man kan använda dem i planeringen Syftet med arbetet har varit att ta fram ett mer detaljerat underlag för planering av lokal kollektivtrafik. Med mer kunskap om hur olika grupper av resenärer värderar olika delar av en kollektivtrafikresa kan kollektivtrafiknätThe aim of this work was to get a more detailed basis for planning of local public transport. With more knowledge of how segments of travellers assess different parts of a journey, bus routes can be planned to fit either all passengers or selected groups better. It will also be possible to evaluate perceived travel utility separately for each category of passengers. Stated Preference questionnaire

Magnetresonans, förkortat MR, är ett fysikaliskt fenomen som tillämpas inom medicinsk diagnostik för bildtagning. Med hjälp av mycket starka magnetfält kan bilder erhållas, exempelvis på hjärnan, utan att joniserande strålning används. Förutom bilder kan MR-bildtagning även användas för att avbilda perfusion (kapillärblodflöde) och vattendiffusion i hjärnan. Ytterligare ett användningsområde är av

Iraq, for the first time in its long history, is facing a dire water crisis that depends on the decrease in the quantities and degradation in the qualities of the water that enters its borders via Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These two rivers are supplying more than 98% of Iraq’s water demands for various purposes. Water pollution, desertification, drought, and deterioration in water quality are t

Today’s information society puts an increased demand on companies to have implemented a structured IP management system to protect and control their knowledge. This report describes the development of a quality tool that serves the purpose of identifying improvement areas in IP Management Systems at middle sized product development companies. The quality tool should represent a systematic approac

The effects of peptidolysis during early cheese ripening were studied in a low-fat (10% fat), round-eyed, semi-hard cheese using gel permeation chromatography and determinations of N content in cheese extracts. Addition of a heat-treated culture of Lactobacillus helveticus enhanced the peptidolytic activity even during the first weeks of cheese ripening. An aminopeptidase was found to have the nec

This study explores the use of isothermal calorimetry to assess heat release during the initial phases of dredged sediment stabilization with the primary goal of predicting the 28 days unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and enhancing the stabilization process' quality control (QC). The study was performed on dredged sediment (DS) samples collected from Göta river, Gothenburg, Sweden. The water

Successful fracture repair is a complex series of coordinated processes leading to regeneration of new bone to bridge the fracture site, remodelling of the newly formed bone and restoration of skeletal function. Disruption of these processes occurs in approximately 10% of all fractures and leads to delayed or failed healing requiring surgical interventions, increased complication rates, prolonged

This paper assesses water quality that is used for vegetable irrigation in Tamale Metropolis, Ghana. A mixed-method of research design was employed in this study to collect and analyze the data based on survey instruments. The paper found that Escherichia coli (E. coli) that is usually used as an indicator of water contamination and heavy metals exist in all taken water samples. The mean concentra

Nonlinear pulse post-compression represents an efficient method for ultrashort, high-quality laser pulse production. The temporal pulse quality is, however, limited by amplitude and phase modulations intrinsic to post-compression. We here characterize in frequency and time domain with high dynamic range individual post-compressed pulses within laser bursts comprising 100-kHz-rate pulse trains. We

Due to its bioactive compounds, blue maize flour is a valuable ingredient for developing gluten-free products. The incorporation of alternative flours into gluten-free pasta is a challenge as it usually results in products that, despite their enhanced nutraceutical features, show reduced quality characteristics. Composite pasta was prepared with variable (25, 50 and 75%) contents of flours from wh

The Internet and the development and deployment of new access networktechnologieshas opened up for new information and communication applications.The mobile or cellular networks have evolved from a facility for voice call totoday's IP only network. The evolution has also allowed for re-use of old andavailable infrastructure for technologies that increases the available capacity farbeyond the origi

Decision making and requirements scoping occupy central roles in helping to develop products that are demanded by the customers and ensuring company strategies are accurately realized in product scope. Many companies experience continuous and frequent scope changes and fluctuations but struggle to measure the phenomena and correlate the measurement to the quality of the requirements process. We pr

Policies aimed to spur quality competition among health care providers are ubiquitous, but their impact on quality is ex ante ambiguous. This study contributes to the sparse empirical literature on primary care quality by examining the heterogeneous impact of recent competition enhancing reforms in Sweden. The reforms led to substantially more entry of new providers in more exposed markets, but th

Dercum’s disease is a rare disease characterized by chronic pain (>3 months) in the adipose tissue, generalized overweight, and a number of associated symptoms. The pain is often disabling and resistant to traditional analgesics. Liposuction of Dercum’s disease was first described in 1987, and two prospective controlled studies have demonstrated that it can give pain relief and improve quality of
