Background: Electronic media use is an important avenue for reaching stigmatized populations. We examined Internet access and use of sexually related electronic media among men who have sex with men (MSM) in 4 cities in Tanzania. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 231 MSM in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Arusha, and Tanga regarding electronic media type, times of use, type of use and frequency
A first lesson in physical chemistry invariably starts with an example of water existing in three states, or phases - gaseous (water vapour), liquid (water from the tap) and solid (ice cubes). Such phase transitions are easily observed, but their underlying cause is not so evident. Atoms and molecules are difficult to follow due to their minute size and rapid movements. So, in order to investigateThe effect of microscopic colloid interactions on the resultant macroscopic phase behaviour is a frequently studied topic in soft matter resarch, and lies at the heart of this thesis. Key structural and dynamic properties of colloidal model systems across liquid-solid transitions are tracked using optical imaging techniques. The first studied system comprises of thermosensitive microgels. These ar
Spy scandals in Western democracies can be seen as a power battle between three actors: investigative journalists, whistleblowers and the intelligence organizations at the center of the scandal. It is a conflict played out both within and outside of the court-house as the actors try to claim the label “hero” for themselves while actively trying to repudiate other labels, such as “traitor”, “spy” o
Objective: To evaluate asynchronous digital visits (eVisits) with regard to digital communication, clinical decisionmaking,and subsequent care utilization in the digital era of primary care in Sweden.Methods: A mixed-methods approach was adopted across the various papers in the thesis, with all studiesevaluating the eVisit platform Flow in various clinical contexts.- Paper I was a comparative stud
Cloud computing has emerged as a key technology in the latest decade and continues to be applied to manage the computing needs of new domains. As a result, the requirements on predictable behavior in the cloud increase, thus the hosted applications need to be recognized as both fault-tolerant and responsive even under difficult conditions.In this thesis, new modeling methods and decision-making st
Robot skills systems are meant to reduce robot setup time for new manufacturing tasks. Yet, for dexterous, contact-rich tasks, it is often difficult to find the right skill parameters. One strategy is to learn these parameters by allowing the robot system to learn directly on the task. For a learning problem, a robot operator can typically specify the type and range of values of the parameters. Ne
E-commerce activities have been growing rapidly throughout the past decade, leading to a growth just as dominant in last mile logistics and urban freight transport as well. Different factors create these deliveries highly inefficient, expensive, and polluting. This led to the generation of major problems that became more dominant in urban areas. Such problems created in cities contributed to highe
The aim of realistic graphics is the creation of images that provide the same visual responses that a viewer would experience in a real world scene. There are different rendering techniques that produce high dynamic range images that capture the full intensity range of a scene. These images cannot be reproduced on a standard display due to limitations in device hardware. Therefore, a high dynamic
With increasing migration to urban areas, Kenya is a country in change with new and challenging problems. Nairobi has a high population growth but a far from equal socio-economic development. As Nairobi continues to grow, so do the slum areas within the city and the slum Kibera has grown to be one of the largest in Africa. Due to the large economic differences within Nairobi I suggest that some pe
Bakgrund: Patienter med avancerad gastrointestinal (GI) cancer har en hög symtombörda, vilket ofta medför behov av akutsjukvård. Integration av tidig, hem-baserad specialiserad palliativ vård (SPV) tillsammans med tumörspecifik behandling kan påverka behov av akut sjukvård.Metoder: Vid initiering av palliativ kemoterapi randomiserades patienter med avancerad GI-cancer till tidig hem-baserad SPV inBackgroundPatients with advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancer experience a high symptom burden which frequently necessitates emergency care. Integration of early home-based specialised palliative care (SPC) with tumour-specific treatments may impact emergency healthcare use.MethodsAt the initiation of palliative chemotherapy, patients with advanced GI cancer were randomised to early home-based SPC
This thesis examines how real-time sensor data from building systems can support the decision-making process of Incident Commanders during fire interventions. The study focuses on the potential of digital information, particularly smoke detector activation data presented through a visual interface. The research was conducted through two simulated fire scenarios in a familiar public building (Söde
Inadequate physical activity constitutes one of today's most significant public health challenges in Sweden and is associated with several physical and mental health risks. At the same time, there is growing evidence that highlights how the built environment shapes opportunities for everyday physical activity. Physical planning can therefore work as an important tool to promote public health.
Denna kvalitativa fallstudie undersökte hur chefer på senior nivå beskrev sina resonemang och strategier i grandparent-intervjuer vid bedömningen av kandidaters kulturella passform samt hur de uppfattade att dessa intervjuer kunde bidra till att forma och reproducera organisationskulturen. Studien genomfördes inom ett anonymiserat stort internationellt företag i teknikbranschen, där grandparent-inThis qualitative case study examined how senior-level managers described their reasoning and strategies in grandparent interviews when assessing candidates´ cultural fit, and how they perceived these assessments as contributing to the shaping and reproduction of organizational culture. The study was conducted in an anonymized large international technology company where grandparent interviews were
This study aims to advance the understanding of class consciousness and its changeability during Swedish expeditions to Svalbard at the turn of the twentieth century. Drawing on diaries written by two participants who took part in expeditions to the High Arctic, the study explores the class consciousness of individuals occupying intermediate class positions within the class structure, but also why
IntroductionEquitable access to maternal and reproductive health (MRH) services remains a major challenge in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs), including Zambia. Despite health system reforms such as the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and family planning (FP) communication strategies, disparities persist, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.
