Little is known about pain and pain treatment among people with intellectual disabilities (IDs). We aimed to describe pain and pain medications among older people with ID compared to the general population. Data on diagnoses and prescriptions were collected from national registers for the period between 2006 and 2012 for 7936 people with an ID and a referent cohort from the general population. IDs

Obesity is closely associated to several diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hepatic steatosis, airway disease, neurodegeneration, biliary diseases and certain cancers. It is, therefore, of importance to assess the role of nutrition in disease prevention as well as its effect in the course of such pathologies. In the present study, we addressed the impact of the exposure to d

This study examines the hydrological recovery of two regenerating boreal trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) dominated stands and the sensitivity of that regeneration to drought within the first 5 years of establishment. The results indicate that evapotranspiration fluxes and water-use efficiency rebounded quickly as a result of new vegetation foliage growth and wet conditions found withi

Purpose: We examined if data-driven food-patterns associate with weight change, incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D), coronary events (CE) and stroke. Methods: The study included 20,487 individuals (61% women) from the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort, 45–74 years, without diabetes and CVD at baseline (1991–1996) and who did not report dietary changes. Diet was measured with a modified diet history meth

Radical energy efficiency improvements are needed to keep global warming within 1.5 °C until the end of the century. Minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) are a widely applied policy instrument to improve the energy efficiency of appliances and reduce CO2 emissions, but they are criticized as redundant if an overarching carbon pricing scheme is in place. In order to better understand how MEP

Heat transfer enhancement is of great importance for energy efficiency improvement. The utilization of spirally corrugated tubes is one of the efficient ways to strengthen heat transfer. In this article, based on a validated numerical model, the effects of geometric parameters of a six-start spirally corrugated tube, including the pitch p and the corrugation depth e, on the shell side heat transfe

Doses to the eyes of interventional radiologists and cardiologists could exceed the annual limit of 20 mSv proposed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. Lead glasses of various designs are available to provide protection, but standard eye dosemeters will not take account of the protection they provide. The aim of this study has been to derive dose reduction factors (DRFs) eq

Arbetet med avslutande rapport har genomförts på uppdrag av en myndighet. Kvalitetssäkringen består i att ett omfattande, på myndigheten internt, utbildningsunderlag vetenskapligt förankrats genom en "process tracing". Resultatet medför en kvalitativt säkrare och mer robust utbildning, och ligger till grund för den framtida utvecklingen av ämnet.

Som ett led i vår egen fortbildning inom blended learning (blandade lärmiljöer), har vi valt att utveckla nya digitala verktyg inom en kurs som heter ”Introduktions- kurs i service management” (15 högskolepoäng, cirka 300 studenter). Målet med att införa nya digitala verktygen är att underlätta för studenterna att skapa förståelse för kurslitteraturen (teorier, begrepp och modeller) på kursens för

En artikel om den "Mediko-teologiska fakulteten" vid Lunds universitet och den pastoralmedicinska utbildningen (en propedeutisk kurs i medicin för landsbygdspräster) 1811-1841.

The Ordovician Tøyen Shale Formation of the recently retrieved Fågelsång-3 drill core provides some important information on the graptolite biostratigraphy of the unit and its completeness in the region. The drill core reached downwards into the Kiaerograptus supremus Biozone of late Tremadocian age. Above a major fault zone, faunas with a number of specimens referred to Pseudophyllograptus densus

This paper is based on work from the Global Research, Innovation, and Education on Assistive Technology (GREAT) Summit that was coordinated by WHO’s Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology (GATE). The purpose of this paper is to describe the needs and opportunities embedded in the assistive product lifecycle as well as issues relating to the various stages of assistive product mobilization worl

Vem vill inte bemötas med respekt och lyhördhet? Det är inte bara i vården som det goda mötet är betydelsefullt men i vården är det kanske särskilt viktigt. Patienter kan känna sig underlägsna och utsatta. Samtidigt ställer vården idag krav på patienterna att hålla sig informerade och ta självständiga beslut. Personalen är inte känslolösa vårdmaskiner utan individer som sannolikt fungerar bäst om
