With health care for refugees as the overall theme, this thesis draws its theoretical reference points from several sources. Firstly, health strategies that target "refugees" in order to adjust to the new multicultural Sweden, will be discussed in relation to aspects of welfare. Secondly, I will focus on "cultural understanding" within health care personnel in relation to appea
De provokativa åtgärderna är en polisiär arbets- och utredningsmetod, vilken traditionellt beskrivs som att polisen i sitt brottsbekämpande arbete lockar fram beteenden från en enskild brottsmisstänkt, i form av yttranden eller handlingar, som kan vara ofördelaktiga för vederbörande. De provokativa åtgärderna har använts inom den polisiära verksamheten en längre tid, trots avsaknad av lagregleringProvocative measures can be described as a an investigation method, whereas the police entices to behaviour through expressions or actions, which in some aspect are unfavourable or disadvantegous for the provoced person. Provocative measures have been used as an investigation method by the Swedish police for a longer time, even though no legislation legitimizes or regulates its usage. The uncertai
Det övergripande temat för denna uppsats är inriktat mot att reda ut den komplicerade, och i doktrin väl diskuterade, lojalitetsplikten för styrelsen i ett aktiebolag. Lojalitetsplikten är inte uttryckligen lagstadgad i Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) (ABL), dess existens erkänns dock av en majoritet i doktrin. Diskussionen i doktrin hänvisar både till regler och allmänna rättsprinciper för att bekräfThe general theme of this thesis is directed towards unravelling the complicated, and in doctrine well discussed, duty of loyalty for the board of directors in a corporate company. The duty of loyalty is not explicitly legislated in the Swedish Company Act, however the majority in Swedish doctrine recognizes its exist-ence. The discussion in doctrine refers to rules as well as general principles o
The usage of foreign distributors on international markets has increased steadily over the past 30 years. Manufacturers who operate in a business-to-business environment now see the benefits by using this form of arrangement. At the same time the process of building a strong brand is gaining more attention in industrial markets, and has proven to be an effective way to reduce barriers to conclude
Event marketing can be seen as an effective tool building a brand in a retail context since it can enhance brand awareness, brand identity and brand image. This, since it provides experiences stimulating consumers´ five senses adjusted to today's experience demands of consumers. Event marketing is effective catching consumers attention in today's media noise compared to traditional adverti
The aim of this study is to explore how people during their working day experience role shifts if they on the whole experience or are aware of any role shift. Do they need time to adjust themselves to different roles? To find out about this a pilot study with a phenomenological approach was performed by having 4 participants write short diaries about their thoughts, feelings and ideas when they ex
Background and purpose — Traditional surgery forarthritis of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), which typicallyinvolves resecting the ulnar head, is being increasingly challengedby newer techniques, such as prosthetic ulnar headreplacement. The aim of our prospective cohort study was toinvestigate the clinical and patient-reported functional results,up to 2 years postoperatively, among patients w
Background: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic posed pronounced challenges in the care of lung transplant (LTx) recipients. Global variations in containment strategies and the introduction of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines have sparked extensive debate in both scientific and public arenas. Methods: This retrospective study compared outcomes among LTx recipients in Denmark
Background Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) represents a group of rare hereditary disorders characterised by deficient ciliary airway clearance that can be associated with laterality defects. We aimed to describe the underlying gene defects, geographical differences in genotypes and their relationship to diagnostic findings and clinical phenotypes. Methods Genetic variants and clinical findings (a
PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the associations between the intake of high- and low-fat fermented dairy (cheese and fermented milk), their proteomic profiles, and mortality risk.METHODS: This cohort study included 25,187 participants (mean age 57.7 years, 60.9% females). Fermented dairy intake was assessed by a modified diet history method. In a random subset of this cohort (n = 4359), we co
BACKGROUND: Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, or long COVID, include diverse symptoms and remain a major concern worldwide. This study investigates the occurrence of depression, anxiety, fatigue, and headache 1 year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (2019), 12 months prior to, and 6 months after long COVID diagnosis in individuals diagnosed with long COVID and matched population-based cont
Background: We set out to profile the immune mechanisms active in treatment-naïve oligoarticular JIA (oJIA) to improve the knowledge of its immunopathogenesis, to identify potential biomarkers that can aid diagnosis, predictions and that correlate with clinical disease parameters. Methods: Using Olink proteomics (inflammation panel measuring 92 markers), we defined and compared the inflammation pr
Forward osmosis (FO) and membrane distillation (MD) have emerged as promising processes for seawater desalination. One of the key factors influencing the FO process is the selection of a suitable draw solution (DS), which should exhibit high osmotic pressure and easy regeneration through a secondary process such as MD. Thermo-responsive polymers having ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO)
Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is invariably fatal but there are large variations in the rate of progression. The lack of predictability can make it difficult to plan clinical interventions. This includes the requirement for gastrostomy where early or late placement can adversely impact quality of life and survival. Methods: We designed a model to predict the timing of gastrostomy
Objective: To investigate the development of sexual activity, sexual function, and body image in women with primary vulvar cancer from the time of diagnosis to 24 months after the end of treatment. Methods: This nationwide prospective cohort study assessed health-related quality of life in women with newly diagnosed vulvar cancer using validated patient-reported outcome measures (EORTC-QLQ-VU34 [E
Objective Individuals with SLE commonly report chest pain or discomfort. We performed cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to differentiate coronary artery disease (CAD), coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), pericarditis and myocarditis in individuals with SLE who presented with chest symptoms. We also assessed the clinical utility of CMR. Methods Adults with SLE were included if reporting
INTRODUCTION: In Sweden, most older adults continue to age in dwellings they have lived in for many years, with a small proportion relocating. Longitudinal studies examining relocation histories, especially among younger old adults and those beyond frail populations, are scarce. This study aimed to describe individuals who stayed in their homes (stayers) and those who relocated (movers) while iden
Lake water storage variations on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) serve as crucial indicators of regional hydrological dynamics and climate changes, providing more comprehensive insights than discrete measurements of lake area or water level alone. While accurate bathymetric data is fundamental for quantifying lake water storage, conventional bathymetric surveys are often constrained by logistical challen
