ABSTRACTBACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a recommended psychological treatment for schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs), often delivered alongside pharmacotherapy, but dropout may limit its effectiveness. In this secondary analysis of a parent systematic review and meta-analysis focused on negative-symptom outcomes, we synthesized dropout among individual, face-t
I min avhandling undersöker jag hur rättspersonen och rättssubjektet bör förstås inom rättsvetenskapen. Detta gör jag genom att kritisera två grundläggande teser inom den moderna rättspersonsteorin: (i) den realistiska tesen, enligt vilken rättspersoner är människor, grupper av människor eller andra sorters icke-rättsliga entiteter; och (ii) rättssubjektstesen, enligt vilken alla rättssubjekt är fIn this dissertation, I investigate how the legal person should be understood within legal theory. I do so through a critique of two fundamental theses of modern legal person theory: (i) the realist thesis that posits that legal persons are human individuals, groups of human individuals, or other kinds of non-legal entities; and (ii) the legal subject thesis that posits that all legal subjects are
Disabled people face a disproportionate risk of injury and death in disasters. This thesis explores how cognitive accessibility shapes personal crisis preparedness and the possibility of acting when a crisis occurs. It asks how people with cognitive impairments can contribute to disaster risk reduction, and how planning methods and everyday environments can better support that contribution. The th
BACKGROUND: Anthrax is a serious infectious disease affecting animals and humans and remains a public health issue in developing countries.AIM: This study assessed the overall anthrax outbreak response and identified strengths, challenges, and best practices during surveillance, preparedness, and response in Ethiopia from May 2022 to July 2022.SETTING: Conducted in Arba Minch Town, Gamo Zone, Sout
Background: Evidence shows that the presence of a single component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk of developing the MetS later in life. This study estimated the prevalence and associated factors of abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, and the 3-factor MetS components among urban adults in Dire Dawa, East Ethiopia.Methods: Community-based cross-se
BackgroundGlobally, in 2016, 23.3% of adult populations were physically inactive, and it accounts for 9% of the global premature mortality. However, evidence on the level of physical activity was limited in resource-poor settings. This study, therefore, assessed the adult’s level of physical activity and its correlates among the urban population in Dire Dawa, eastern Ethiopia.MethodsA total of 872
Background: Understanding socioeconomic disparities in all-cause and cause-specific mortality can help inform prevention and treatment strategies.Objectives: To quantify cause-specific mortality rates by socioeconomic status across seven health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSS) in five countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Nigeria) in the INDEPTH Network in sub-Saharan Afri
Britain’s prime minister, Andy Burnham, has said the recent suspected terror plot targeting RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire was “almost certainly” directed by Iran. The allegation has centred attention on how Iran projects power beyond its borders.
Aims: Charcot Foot (CF) is a neuropathy-induced condition that can lead to fractures and dislocation, warranting long-time offloading in total contact cast (TCC). It is unknown whether CF or its treatment increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). This study aims to retrospectively investigate the risk of VTE in people with CF during and after treatment. Methods: Individuals with diabetes
As AI, semiconductors, data centers, electric vehicles, and battery industries expand rapidly, electricity is becoming a critical resource for national industrial competitiveness. In the past, industrial zones were typically developed first and electricity infrastructure was subsequently built to serve them. The rise of electricity-intensive advanced industries is beginning to reverse this logic:
Robot-to-human handovers are fundamental for collaborative robots, particularly in surgical contexts where instruments must be delivered accurately without regrasping. We investigate the role of hand representation in learning precise robot-to-human handover behaviors in complex contexts such as surgery. Using a dataset of 180 teleoperated demonstrations, an image-based Action Chunking with Transf
This article examines how ordinary Russian and Ukrainian citizens experience and relate to extensive and pervasive corruption (high- level, everyday, political) in everyday discussions and demands – in relation to authorities, politicians, civil servants, and fellow citizens. Anonymous interviews conducted in Ukraine and Kaliningrad oblast from 2009 to 2014 show differences in anti-corruption dema
Background. Self-rated health (SRH) is a validated holistic indicator of health, yet evidence among seafarers is limited. We examined how health conditions and lifestyle factors relate to poor SRH and whether perceived stress modifies these associations in active-duty seafarers. A total of 22,432 international seafarers who were on board were included in the analysis of an electronic survey distriBackground.

Background: Hepatitis B infection is one of the world's most serious public health problems, causing significant morbidity and mortality. More than 2 billion individuals around the world have been infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and approximately 400 million people are chronically infected with the virus, with more than a million dying each year from hepatitis B virus-related liver dise
Background: Childhood overweight and obesity are emerging public health challenges of the twety-first century. There was a 24% increase in the number of overweight children under the age of 5 years in low-income countries. Despite the significant risk of childhood overweight/obesity for non-communicable diseases, premature death, disability, and reproductive disorders in their adult life, little a
Background: Penetrating abdominal injury (PAI) is a public health problem and accounts for significant mortality and disability in both developing and developed countries. It often causes damage to internal organs, resulting in shock and infection. In this study, we assessed the outcomes of PAI and factors associated with post-surgical outcomes including surgical site infection (SSI) and in-hospit
Introduction: Cholera remains a serious public health problem characterized by a large disease burden, frequent outbreaks, persistent endemicity, and high mortality, particularly in tropical and subtropical low-income countries including Ethiopia. The recent cholera outbreak in the Somali region began on 4 September to 1 November 2019. Cholera may spread rapidly through a population so that an ear
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Type 2 DM has a strong hereditary background. A study of the dermatoglyphic features can help in the early identification of people with a genetic predisposition to develop type 2 DM.Purpose of the Study: The study was ai
