Introduction Sierra Leone has the world's highest maternal mortality, partly due to low access to caesarean section. Limited data are available to guide improvement. In this study, we aimed to analyse the rate and mortality of caesarean sections in the country. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of all caesarean sections and all reported in-facility maternal deaths in Sierra Leone in 2016.
The impact of Parkinson's disease (PD) on workforce participation has received little attention even though demographic, lifestyle, and political changes together will result in an increased burden of PD on the working-age population. In this study, we investigate workforce survival after a PD diagnosis, as well as what demographic factors that are associated with workforce survival. As an explora
At the heart of this research are relational encounters between people and textile materials. As the title, Crafting Material Bodies, indicates, the research explores how human bodies are crafted by material bodies (costume) and vice versa. In the research textile materials and people are my co-creators and as co-creators they are invited to relate to, affect and become affected by other human bod
I denna uppsats behandlas rätten till att bruka vapen vid nödvärn och nödvärnsexcess ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Rätten till nödvärn och nödvärnsexcess stadgas i 24 kap 1 § respektive 24 kap 6 § brottsbalken. Rätt till nödvärn föreligger bl.a. när någon blir utsatt för ett angrepp på person, såvida den angripne inte går utöver vad som får anses vara uppenbart oförsvarligt. Bedömningen görsThis paper analyses the right to use weapons in self-defence and excessive self-defence from a legal perspective. The right of self-defence and excessive self-defence is stated in Chapter 24 section 1 and Chapter 24 section 6 in Brottsbalken (the Swedish penal code). The right of self-defence is inter alia granted people who are subject to an attack unless the self-defence is unreasonably. The ju
The study investigates the underlying factors and motives that led to the planning of collective housing in Sweden, from the 1930s until today. The brand new collective housing KomBo is used as an example to illuminate the current practice for collective housing planning. Through a critical review of various planning related documents and a total of five interviews, the study conclude the followin
Internet of Things (IoT) is a network constituted by uniquely identifiable commodity objects or devices equipped with some sensing system. To achieve high data rates required for IoT devices, a modern wireless communication system, known as Advanced Antenna Systems(AAS), leads to significant improvement, by increasing not only the data rate but also spectrum efficiency and the channel capacity. A 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
The aim of this study was to examine how autobiographic authors afflicted by schizophrenia use their language when they talk about themselves, what kind of words and terms they use when they talk about schizophrenia and if there is a possibility that the discourses that the authors use differentiate from each other. In order to examine this I used critical discourse analysis due to the fact that p
Despite the importance of the UK in meat production in the EU and its increasing population, there is still a lack of rapid, accurate and inexpensive technique to determine an appropriate durability for meat products. As the population increases, the demand for safe and of satisfactory food by both consumers and government raises, so as the demand for a favourable tool to ensure the safety of food
I knew early that I wanted to work with leather, a material that I took interest in a while back but never had the time to explore it thoroughly. My thoughts are aimed toward refining a previous project as well as creating other supporting products for this. I wanted to challenge myself so I wrote in the brief that the designs should accommodate for the production method i had in mind: Saddle sti
This thesis aims to show that the doctrine of analogia entis, the analogy of being, is a proper form of thought for Catholic theology, because it is based on a theological metaphysics. The thesis includes a very brief historical account of the concept of analogy in philosophical and theological metaphysics, but has for its real starting point the exclamation of Karl Barth that the analogia entis i
The aim of this thesis is to highlight how gender and racialisation shapes lived experiences within the Swedish theatre context. The study is based on interviews with four non-white actors working or studying in Sweden. To interpret the material from the interviews I use narrative analysis and draw on Sara Ahmed’s queer phenomenology and its concept of orientation. I use a phenomenological perpect
The current debate on different models of global democracy has at times pitted proponents of ’statist’, ’cosmopolitan’, and ’pluralistic’ perspectives against each other, each claiming to represent perspectives fulfilling normative criteria for maintaining democratic legitimacy in a wider global and transnational sphere. This paper sets out to act in defence of one of these models in particular, n
Lojalitetsplikten är ett begrepp som innefattar en skyldighet för avtalsparter att ta tillvara varandras intressen och att vara lojala mot varandra. Det är ett brett begrepp som tar sig olika uttryck beroende på vilken avtalstyp det rör sig om, vilket gör att en uttömmande beskrivning inte är möjlig. Jori Munukka gav år 2007 ut en omfattande avhandling i ämnet, Kontraktuell lojalitetsplikt. Denna The principle of good faith is a concept which comprises of a duty for the contracting parties to respect each other’s interests and to be loyal to each other. It is a broad concept which changes in character depending on the type of agreement it concerns, and which therefore makes it difficult to give an exhaustive definition of. Jori Munukka, published in 2007 a comprehensive thesis on the subje
A perpetual series of terror attacks have caused the European Union to shake in its foundations. In the face of the escalating transnational threat of terrorism, decision-makers, under severe public pressure, have repeatedly called for deeper international intelligence cooperation. A bold idea currently being debated is the establishment of a new European Intelligence Unit (EIU) in the field of co
De historiska typologier som förekommit i svensk byggnadshistoria ligger till grund för var bostaden befinner sig idag. Jag anser att uppkomsten, utformningen och utforskningen av densamma är central för förståelsen för samtidens bostäder och dess enskilda rum. I detta arbete försöker jag presentera, funktionellt katalogisera, och analysera de rumstypologier som förekommit, och fortfarande förekomMy work surrounds the dwelling, more specifically the respective typological characteristics that it consists of. The research focuses on their execution, development and transformation, from the 19th century to today. To further understand the homes of today, and perhaps their implications tomorrow, I aim to catalog and study the connections and parameters surrounding these rooms. The chapters ar
Enligt WHO är mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer ett av de allvarligaste hoten mot kvinnors hälsa. Medan det finns många aspekter att ha i åtanke i analysen av detta, kvarstår faktumet att det är i hemmet som våldet sker. Varför är det så? Många arkitekter och teoretiker har länge konstaterat hur våra städer är byggda olika väl för olika typer av kroppar, där möjligtvis vissa kroppar stöttas According to the WHO, domestic violence is one of the most dangerous threats to women’s health. Whilst there are more things to consider, truth is that the home is where all of this violent behaviour takes the stage. Why is that? Many architects and theorists have long made out that our cities are differently well-built for different kinds of bodies, where some are possibly better supported than o
