Maternal height and child health and schooling in sub-Saharan Africa : Decomposition and heterogeneity
Maternal height is associated with mortality and anthropometry in low-and-middle-income countries. This paper explored residual associations and potential underlying mechanisms linking maternal height to several child outcomes using regression models with neighborhood and half-sibling fixed effects and Gelbach decomposition on 108 Demographic and Health Surveys from 37 sub-Saharan African countrie

Demographic characteristics of convicted child sexual abusers in South of Sweden, between 2013 and 2018: a pilot study
This study evaluates variables concerning demographic characteristics for all adult male offenders convicted of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) aged 0–17 in Malmö, Sweden between 2013 and 2018. All convictions (n = 18) based on court documents from the District Court, the Court of Appeals and information from the Swedish Tax Agency were reviewed. A total of 30 victims were identified.

Understanding wear and interaction between CVD α-Al2O3 coated tools, steel, and non-metallic inclusions in machining
The aluminum oxide-coating on cemented carbide tools used for metal cutting have been regarded as inert during cutting of steels. Because diffusional dissolution is not possible. Chemical degradation of aluminum oxide coatings is often overlooked, especially in the presence of ambient oxygen and non-metallic inclusions. High-pressure diffusion couples, advanced microscopy, and thermodynamics are u
Simulatorträning ger nya läkare självförtroende vid akuta tillstånd
Målbeskrivningen för den nya sexåriga läkarutbildningen lyfter fram att en läkare ska kunna visa förmåga att självständigt inleda diagnostik och behandling vid livshotande akuta tillstånd. Sedan 2017 har fler än tusen läkarstudenter i Lund genomgått 5 veckors utbildning i akut omhändertagande.Under utbildningen handlägger studenterna ett stort antal olika livshotande akuta tillstånd i fullskalesimCurrent national objectives of Swedish medical schools state that new doctors should be able to independently start rapid and appropriate early treatment and diagnostic assessment in life-threatening situations. Since 2017 more than one thousand senior undergraduate students at Lund University have undergone compulsory five-week training in initial management of potentially reversible medical emer

Multiple Pricing for Personal Assistance Services
This paper provides a general theoretical framework that captures the essential features ofa Swedish reform where private and public health care providers serve patients with certainfunctional impairments. Because providers receive a fixed hourly compensation for theirservices (identical across patient types) and only private providers can reject service requestsfrom patients, private providers av
Evidence and evidence gaps in assessments and interventions in areas related to social work research and practice : an overview of four evidence maps
This overview of four evidence maps is based on systematic reviews of assessment and interventions in social work practice. The aim was to investigate the evidence and evidence gaps within four important areas for social work research and practice. Descriptive data on search strategies and domains were collected from four evidence maps, on Social Assistance, Substance Dependence, Care for older ad
Gendered dynamics of state-led smallholder commercialisation in Ghana. The case of Nkoranza traditional area
Commercial smallholder production is touted as a mechanism for reducing rural poverty and transforming African agriculture. In line with this ideology, the Ghanaian state introduced two policies to provide incentives for commercial food and tree crop cultivation among smallholder farmers. Policy implementation is done in a blanket manner without considerations of gendered differences in agricultur
Airborne Wear Particles from Dry Clutches
A significant part of non-exhaust particle emissions in cities comes from the wear of vehicle components. Several studies on airborne particles from the wear of disc brakes and tires have been completed. However, few publications can be found in the scientific literature regarding airborne emissions from dry clutches used in road vehicles. With this in mind, this preliminary study designs a clutch
Long-term Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement With the Lotus Valve vs CoreValve/EvolutR : A Secondary Analysis of the REPRISE III Randomized Clinical Trial
Importance: Long-term follow-up after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is of interest given that longitudinal data on mortality and durability of transcatheter heart valves are limited. The REPRISE III (Repositionable Percutaneous Replacement of Stenotic Aortic Valve Through Implantation of Lotus Valve System-Randomized Clinical Evaluation) randomized clinical trial compared the mecha
Core Lab Adjudication of the ACURATE neo2 Hemodynamic Performance Using Computed-Tomography-Corrected Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Area
(1) Background: Hemodynamic assessment of prosthetic heart valves using conventional 2D transthoracic Echocardiography-Doppler (2D-TTE) has limitations. Of those, left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) area measurement is one of the major limitations of the continuity equation, which assumes a circular LVOT. (2) Methods: This study comprised 258 patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), who were t
Automatic Segmentation of the Fetus in 3D Magnetic Resonance Images Using Deep Learning : Accurate and Fast Fetal Volume Quantification for Clinical Use
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides images for estimating fetal volume and weight, but manual delineations are time consuming. The aims were to (1) validate an algorithm to automatically quantify fetal volume by MRI; (2) compare fetal weight by Hadlock's formulas to that of MRI; and (3) quantify fetal blood flow and index flow to fetal weight by MRI. Forty-two fetuses at 36 (29-39) weeks ges

Invasive Streptococcal Infection Can Lead to the Generation of Cross-Strain Opsonic Antibodies
The human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes causes substantial morbidity and mortality. It is unclear if antibodies developed after infections with this pathogen are opsonic and if they are strain specific or more broadly protective. Here, we quantified the opsonic-antibody response following invasive S. pyogenes infection. Four patients with S. pyogenes bacteremia between 2018 and 2020 at Skåne Uni
