This study investigates how national policies in nine Western Pacific countries—China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Cambodia—promote healthy ageing through multi-sector collaboration. The objective is to identify common patterns and country-specific features in the governance and organization of collaborative efforts. Using comparative case study an

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between individual health beliefs and risk factors for coronary heart disease. DESIGN: Health beliefs indices, formed by factorial analysis of ratings of statements on health related matters in a questionnaire, were related to risk factors for coronary heart disease, assessed with physical examinations and self reports of medical history and habits. SETTING: An

Background: Pain from various locations in the body and mental illness are common and the comorbidity between the two is well-known although the temporal relationship remains to be determined. Our aim was to follow patients over time to study if pain (here dorsalgia/abdominal pain) or fibromyalgia lead to an increased risk of developing mental illness (here depression/anxiety) and/or the reverse,

The evolution of epidemiological burden in Imperial Russia and, consecutively, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), took place mostly over the duration of the past century [...].

This chapter focuses on measuring spatial pattern in floodplains and reviews 108 publications from 1934-2013 to determine trends, dominant paradigms, and approaches to measuring spatial pattern in floodplains. The development of new technologies, especially those associated with remotely sensed data capture, increases the ability to quantitatively measure the spatial complexity of floodplain surfa

Frostnedbrytning av betong kan få allvarliga konsekvenser för en konstruktions säkerhet, beständighet och funktionsduglighet eftersom betongens hållfasthet försämras. Frostskador uppstår vanligtvis i konstruktioner med hög fuktbelastning och som periodvis utsätts för frostangrepp. Olika typer av betongskador, vilka kan misstänkas vara frostrelaterade, har påträffats i svenska vattenkraftsanläggninFrost deterioration of concrete can result in severe consequences to the safety, durability and functionality of a structure since it impairs the strength of the concrete. Frost damage may occur to structures that are in contact with water and subjected to frost action. Different types of concrete damage, which are suspected to be frost related, have been observed in concrete structures in Swedish

Artikeln behandlar den litauisk-amerikanske folkrättsjuristen Jacob Robinsons (1889-1977; på litauiska: Jokūbas Robinzonas) bidrag till folkrättsdoktrin och folkrättspraxis

This study explores the impact of living with Parkinson's disease (PD). Nineteen persons (11 women) aged 55-84 diagnosed with PD 3-27 years ago participated. Data were collected through semistructured interviews, which were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed by qualitative content analysis. Four categories represented the impact of living with PD: "Changed prerequisites for managing day-

BACKGROUND: Smartphones have made it possible for patients to digitally report symptoms before physical primary care visits. Using machine learning (ML), these data offer an opportunity to support decisions about the appropriate level of care (triage).OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to explore the interrater reliability between human physicians and an automated ML-based triage method.METH

Objectives: This study aimed to describe the clinical experience of the health-care professionals (HCPs) responsible for the introduction of methadone, for the treatment of complex cancer pain, at a low-resource hospital in India in a patient-group, burdened by illiteracy, and low socio-economic status. Materials and Methods: Ten HCPs: Four medical doctors, four nurses, one pharmacist, and one hos

This Thesis examines what possibilities Member States have to impose levies on CO2 emissions from motor vehicles in the light of EU indirect tax legislation and the Eurovignette Directive. In this Thesis, carbon tax on fuel and a CO2 differentiated road toll are studied as levying options. Motor fuel is an excise good to which the harmonised EU excise duty system applies. Accordingly, the questi

ar. Enorma framsteg har gjorts de senaste decennierna i neonatalvården (vård för nyfödda barn) och omkring 80% av EPT-barn i Sverige överlever. Dessa framsteg innefattar bl.a. administrering av kortison för att påskynda lungmognaden, modern teknisk utrustning, bättre kunskaper om neonatala sjukdomar m.m. Globalt är överlevnaden av EPT-barn lägre i länder med sämre ekonomiska förutsättningar och däAim: To evaluate a pipeline for automatic MRI brain segmentation and volumetric tissue structure quantification in a cohort of extremely preterm infants. Methods: 13 extremely preterm neonates underwent MRI-scanning at a term equivalent age. Seven of these subjects had suitable MRI sequences and were analyzed in the pipeline. Segmentation of MRI brain images into brain tissue types and parcellati

Background: Up to half the residents of nursing homes for the elderly have asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), which should not be treated with antibiotics. A complementary test to discriminate between symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI) and ABU is needed, as diagnostic uncertainty is likely to generate significant antibiotic overtreatment. Previous studies indicate that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka huruvida Maria Gripes roman Agnes Cecilia – en sällsam historia (1981) kan sägas tillhöra den fantastiska litteraturen. Analysen utgår från Tzvetan Todorovs teori om den fantastiska genren som den presenteras i hans studie The Fantastic: A Structural Approach to a Literary Genre, publicerad 1970. Den fantastiska litteraturen är i hans bemärkelse en tvetydig litt

1 Verksamhetsplan för Socialhögskolan 2023 Institutionsstyrelsen har antagit en strategi för Socialhögskolan 2022-2026, som i stor utsträckning följer fakultetens och ytterst universitetets strategier (se bilaga 1). Tillsammans med återkommande policy- och strategidiskussioner i styrelsen har denna strategi varit vägledande för arbetet med verksamhetsplaneringen för 2023. Socialhögskolan lämnar 20
