Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling är att bidra till vår förståelse för vårdutnyttjande och dess förklaringsfaktorer i utvecklingsländer, speciellt i sub-sahariska Afrika. Detta görs genom att fokusera på sjukvårdsutgifter och dess förklaringsfaktorer, samt valet att söka vård för att bota åkomman. Datamaterialete som används kommer från en hushållsundersökning från 1998 omfatThe aim of this thesis is to contribute to our understanding of health care utilisation and its determinants in developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This is done by explicitly focusing on health care expenditures and its determinants as well as the choice to seek health care to cure the illness. Firstly, the focus is on a household’s expenditures for health care. The aim of this

In a previous study we presented data indicating that the expanded population of CD4(-)CD8(-) (DN) alphabeta T cells in TCRalpha-chain-transgenic mice was partially if not entirely derived from gammadelta T cell lineage cells. The development of both gammadelta T cells and DN alphabeta T cells is poorly understood; therefore, we thought it would be important to identify the immediate precursors of

Amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG) recordings from 32 mechanically ventilated infants, gestational age 32 weeks or less, were analysed. All recordings were started within 24 h of birth and continued for at least 50 h. Germinal layer haemorrhage (GLH) was diagnosed by repeated ultrasonography. In six infants neither GLH nor hypocalcaemia were diagnosed; aEEG in these infants rapidly became more active

Microsporidiosis must be regarded as a late opportunistic infection when HIV is advanced. In this article we describe 2 cases of disseminated infection with Encephalitozoon intestinalis. The first case had a local intestinal infection for > 1 y before it disseminated and microsporidia were found intracellularly in sputum. In the second case, spores were initially found in conjunctival cells, sinus

AIM: This study intended to illuminate nursing management in a developing organization from the perspectives of nurse managers, chief physicians, hospital directors and politicians. BACKGROUND: Increased responsibility in a changing health care system makes it important that nurses occupy advantageous positions so that they may safeguard and facilitate the development of their core area. METHODS:

The history of Folklife Archives documentation of peasant buildings in Southern Sweden.

Global environmental changes are topics of important societal concern and current scientific interest. These changes are driven by many different forcing and feedbacks occurring at various time and geographic scales and are largely influencing the various Earth systems. Despite the fact that the natural component of these changes has always occurred, today it's the anthropogenic component and its

This study sought to elucidate Swedish pediatric wards concerning the practice of informing children and their parents about clinical examinations and procedures. A semi-structured questionnaire was distributed to all 36 pediatric departments in Sweden, comprising of 83 wards. Fifty-eight (70%) of the wards responded. The results showed that 55 (95%) of the wards provided regular planned informati

This working paper analyses the mindset and driving forces of innovators in the agricultural sector. The key drivers and incentives are different in this group than for the innovators from academic institution. Therefor the interaction with risk capital providers becomes problematic.

Artros (i engelskt språkbruk ”osteoarthritis”, ibland ”osteoarthrosis”) är en sjukdom med sakta förlopp och ibland gradvis försämring. Sjukdomen kan leda till total förstöring av leden och behov av operation med ersättning av leden med konstgjort material. För de flesta patienter med artros blir kirurgisk behandling dock aldrig nödvändig, besvären kan behandlas bra på annat sätt.Artros är inte en

Analytical predictions of mechanical behaviour of fire-exposed steel structures are compared to experimental results obtained from three different research laboratories. Comparisons are made to axially free and restrained steel columns fire tested in Metz in France 1973-74, to simply supported steel beams fire tested in Germany and published in Stahlbau 1/1983 and to axially free and restrained st

The thermal decomposition of 1,2-dioxetane and the associated production of chemiluminescent products, model for a wide range of chemiluminescent reactions, has been studied at the multistate multiconfigurational second-order perturbation level of theory. This study is in qualitative and quantitative agreement with experimental observations with respect to the activation energy and the observed in

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that atrial fibrillation of recent onset in man is based on a varying number of simultaneously present activation waves reentering either themselves or each other. In the present study, right atrial activation during chronic atrial fibrillation in man was studied. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 16 patients with chronic atrial fibrillation multiple epicardial record

Accurate description of the response function of X-ray detectors is important for quantitative PIXE analysis. For analytical description of low-energy tailing in PIXE spectra, the GUPIX approach was used, i.e. a combination of Hypermate type functions. The low-energy tailing parameters of a low-energy high purity germanium X-ray detector in the region 1.3-9.2 keV was determined by systematic fitti

Four juvenile Ross's gulls Rhodostethia rosea were trapped on the New Siberian Islands in the Laptev Sea in early August 1994, allowing data collection on body mass and morphometrics from a poorly known part of the species' annual cycle. The wings of juvenile birds were shorter than those previously reported for adults, but their bill length and tarsus length were similar. Their average body mass

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arkitekten Hans Westman var verksam i Skåne från 1932 till 1983. Hans rika och mångskiftande produktion har satt sin prägel på den moderna skånska arkitekturen, särskilt i Lund där han hade sitt arkitektkontor. Westmans arkitektur spänner över ett brett fält från bostadshus, offentliga byggnader, kraftverk till kyrkor och kloster. Flera verk är välkända, t ex radhusområThis thesis deals with the regional aspects of Swedish modernism exemplified by the architecture of Hans Westman (1905-1991). The main purpose of the dissertation has been to make a survey of what is perceived as particularly regional in Westman's buildings and if we can really talk about modern regional architecture. Modernism's breakthrough brought about the introduction of an architecture which
