Internet of Things (IoT) is network constituted by day-to-day objects equipped with some sensing system. These objects can also communicate with other objects for data exchange, wirelessly. This calls for a need of better wireless communication systems. New techniques using the 4G (Long-Term Evolution) have been developed to solve this problem, known as Advanced Antenna System (AAS). This new tech
Using population reconstructions from linked civil certificates for the province of Zeeland, the Netherlands, for the period 1812–1913, I study the social gradient in maternal mortality. Maternal mortality is defined as deaths in the first 42 days after the birth of a child. Among the women — mother to at least one child and followed between age 20 and 45 — maternal mortality constitutes about one
Women in the humanities : scientific ideals during the second half of the 20th century This thesis examines scientific ideals of female humanists during the second half of the 20th century through the analytical concept scientific or scholarly persona. The aim with this thesis is to show how scientific ideals have been negotiated in the context of obituaries of female scholars active in the humani
A new method to extract mass density and elemental compositions of tissues from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) scans is described and investigated. The method decomposes a tissue into proportions of two or three predened base materials and was proposed in 2008 by a research team at Linkoping University. Informations of tissue parameters may be important in radiation treatment planning to c

Guidelines aim to standardise and optimise asthma diagnosis and management. Nevertheless, adherence to guidelines is suboptimal and may vary across different healthcare professional (HCP) groups. Further to these concerns, this European Respiratory Society (ERS)/European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) statement aims to: 1) evaluate the understanding of and adherence to internat
Currently, there is limited knowledge on how the Swedish strategy with more lenient public health restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced people's life satisfaction. Here, we investigated self-reported life satisfaction during the first wave of the pandemic in Sweden, and perceived changes in life satisfaction in relation to various sociodemographic factors. A total of 1082 people
BACKGROUND: Due to demographic changes, hospital emergency departments in many countries are overcrowded. Internationally, several primary healthcare models have been introduced as alternatives to hospitalisation. In Norway, municipal acute wards (MAWs) have been implemented as primary care wards that provide observation and medical treatment for 24 h. The intention is to replace hospitalisation f
Aims: Previous studies on major depressive disorder (MDD) among immigrants have reported mixed results. Using data from primary healthcare settings in Sweden, we compared the incidence of MDD among first- and second-generation immigrants aged 15–39 years with natives. Methods: This was a retrospective nationwide open cohort study. Eligible individuals were born 1965–1983, aged 15–39 years at basel
Aim: Assess healthcare utilization and direct costs for heart failure (HF) during the first two years post-diagnosis across HF subgroups. Methods: This retrospective population-based study included patients with HF aged 40–90 years in Region Halland. HF subgroups were defined based on echocardiographic ejection fraction, including HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), mildly reduced ejection
Background: Testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC) originates during fetal life. Fetal exposure to environmental chemicals may contribute to its development, but epidemiological data are lacking. We investigated per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which can act as endocrine disruptors during fetal development, and TGCC risk in adulthood. Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study of 549
Pregnancy and lactation require large amounts of calcium potentially depleting the young adult bone. This study investigated BMD and fluctuations of BMD resulting from parity and lactation in the PEAK-25 cohort, a prospective observational study of women all aged 25 at inclusion and 35 at follow-up. The analyses use women who were nulliparous at baseline and parous (n = 573) or nulliparous (n = 17
Epitaxial shell is vital for enhancing the optoelectronic performance of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), especially for the wide bandgap blue QDs, yet the shell crystal structure's impact on thermal stability and photophysical behavior remains unexplored. It is reported that the ligand-directed synthesis of ZnS shells with zinc blende (ZB) or wurtzite (WZ) structure on blue WZ CdZnS cores, where
Monoclinic β-Ga2O3 films grown on c-plane sapphire have been shown to exhibit six (201 ¯ )-oriented domains, which are equally spaced by rotation around the surface normal and equally sized by volume that render the film optical response effectively uniaxial. We derive and discuss an optical model suitable for ellipsometry data analysis of such films. We model mid- and far-infrared ellipsometry da
This chapter introduces systematic reviews and provides a summary of systematic review methods. Because of the challenges in palliative care trials, systematic reviews might be even more relevant in palliative care than in many other areas of health care. This chapter highlights the reasons why a researcher should use a systematic review, as well as the instances when systematic reviews are not an
