Infantile colic is common, but no safe and effective conventional treatment exists. The use of acupuncture has increased despite weak evidence. This practitioner survey explores and discusses how infantile colic is regarded and treated in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The study is based on personal communication with 24 acupuncturists from nine countries. These acupuncturists specialize in p

The purpose of the essay is to gain a deeper understanding of how the environment and social media affect children’s learning ability in mathematics. The impact of the conversations about mathematics and the posts in social media is
Efterfrågan inom hälso- och sjukvården ökar på grund av en växande population med allt fler äldre och kroniskt sjuka personer. Dessutom förväntar sig dagens patienter en lättillgänglig vård. För att möta den tilltagande efterfrågan spelar digitalisering en viktig roll. För att digitaliseringen ska lyckas är en god integrationen mellan nya digitala verktyg och befintliga system av stor betydelse. DThe demand in health care is increasing due to a growing population with more elderly and chronically ill people. In addition, the patients expect easy access to health care. To be able to meet the growing demand in the health care, digitization plays an essential role. For the digitization to be successful, a good integration of new digital tools in existing systems is of great importance. Also,
The signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on the 4th of April 1949 became a watershed for the Nordic states and divided the normally very homogenous groupinto two separate camps. By examining this phenomenon from three different methodological approaches, this thesis aims to explain why the division occurred. The methodological approaches are sectioned into macro meso and micro levels in order to d
The aim of this study was to examine and illuminate how people who are born deaf experience their encounters with administrative authorities. The study was based on qualitative interviews. Several themes were identified in the interviews: knowledge, deaf competence, accessibility, communication, interpreter usage, audism and discrimination. The analysis was based on the notions of accessibility, s
Arbete på distans blev under en period vardag för flera tjänstepersoner till följd av covid-19 pandemin. Huruvida arbete från den traditionella arbetsplatsen fortsättningsvis är önskvärd för medarbetarna kan tänkas vara av intresse för arbetsgivare att ha kännedom om. Syftet med studien var att undersöka medarbetares upplevelse av distansarbetet utifrån produktivitet och gruppsammanhållning för tiDue to the covid-19 pandemic telework became a regular workday for many white-collar workers during a period of time. Whether the traditional workplace is desirable for workers to be continued working from or not may be of interest to employers to know. The aim of this study was to examine how municipal workers in the white-collar sector experienced telework as well as perceived their productivit
After the fall of communism in Yugoslavia the ethnic resentment grew stronger and escalated in to interethnic civil conflict in 1992. After international intervention the General Framework Agreement for Peace (GFAP) installed peace in 1995. The treaty's aim was not only to establish peace but also to institute democracy in Bosnia. The OSCE were given the task to implement democracy within poli
PURPOSE: Major hurdles in oXHTx are the delayed xenograft rejection, the early perioperative cardiac xenograft dysfunction (PCXD) and the pig heart overgrowth, which were solved in this study with a costimulation blockade, a new non-ischemic cold preservation and a growth inhibition by anti-proliferative drugs. Aim was to achieve a 90-days-survival of minimal 60% (6 of 10 baboons) in this life-sup
Background: The discovery of disease-associated loci through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is the leading genetic approach to the identification of novel biological pathways underlying diseases in humans. Until recently, GWAS in ischaemic stroke have been limited by small sample sizes and have yielded few loci associated with ischaemic stroke. We did a large-scale GWAS to identify additio
There is a clear need to foresee future development and identify the possible future impacts of different elements to ensure conscious and sustainable decision making in the field of built environment. However, the level of awareness and knowhow of potential methods to assist in this task is still low among market actors as real estate education has been unable to respond to the situation. There i
Osteoclasts are derived from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and form upon stimulation of osteoclast precursors by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κΒ ligand (RANKL). Osteoclasts resorb bone by secreting hydrochloric acid, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cathepsin K. Failure of bone resorption or bone formation results in metabolic bone disOsteoclasts are derived from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and form upon stimulation of osteoclast precursors by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κΒ ligand (RANKL).

Body temperature variation in response to acute stress is typically characterized by peripheral vasoconstriction and a concomitant increase in core body temperature (stress-induced hyperthermia). It is poorly understood how this response differs between species and within individuals of the same species, and how it is affected by the environment. We therefore investigated stress-induced body tempeBody temperature variation in response to acute stress is typically characterized by peripheral vasoconstriction and a concomitant increase in core body temperature (stress-induced hyperthermia).

From the gender equality policy for Lund University 2001-2005 it is inferred that the overall objectives for Lund University is to achieve a balance between the number of women and men in undergraduate studies and postgraduate education within various occupational groups and in committees and boards. The aim of this programme is to increase the number of women in leading positions at the universit
The E-GIS project partnership comprised 10 partners (universities, organisations and private bodies) from 6 European countries; Bulgaria, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Sweden. The E-GIS project was initiated in order to: • Establish competent nettworks between universities and private bodies for cooperation on an European level within the GIS area – both for this project and fo
I projektet har ett verktyg eller metod för bestämning av risk i vårdavdelningar tagits fram. Verktyget, Brandskyddsvärdering av vårdavdelningar (BSV-vård) kan användas för att bestämma den relativa säkerheten för olika avdelningar vad avser brand. Meningen är att BSV-vård skall kunna användas som ett komplement vid brandsyn. Verktyget kan också tjäna som checklista vid nyproduktion då den också g
Att silver har en bakteriedödande effekt har varit känt sedan många århundraden. Historien om silver sträcker sig ända tillbaka till 4000 år före Kristus då de antika Kaldeérna använde silver och det var på den tiden en av mest använda metallerna tillsammans med guld och koppar. Persiska kungar föredrog att dricka vatten endast från bägare gjorda av silver för att vattnet kunde bevaras friskt och Over the past decade, a massive increase in the use of nanomaterials and nanoparticles (NPs) in both commercial and medical applications has occurred. Medical applications include advanced drug delivery vehicles, imaging and hyper thermic therapies. In retinal research, several nanomaterials have been explored in novel treatment approaches, ranging from metals, carbon, polymers and silica to biolo
Background: Older adults spend more time at home after retirement, and the home becomes a central place for activity. While research indicates that indoor lighting, exposure to daylight, physical activity and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood and daily rhythm, strategies are needed to promote behavioural changes to optimise these factors in daily life. The objective is to design an int
