For the first time in the latest Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), water has been the focus of dedicated chapters in both Working Group 1 (Chapter 8) and 2 (Chapter 4). Nevertheless, we argue here that water has not yet received the full attention it deserves from both scientists and policymakers for several reasons. Firstly, the historical focus on tempera
I rapporten underlaget presenteras grundläggande utgångspunkter och verktyg för studier som baseras på kvantitativa metoder. Avsikten är i första hand att komplettera kurslitteraturen på området och visa hur kvantitativa analysmetoder kan nyttjas i samband med socialpolitiskt inriktade studier. Syftet är också att öka kunskapen och förmågan att bearbeta och värdera statistik om sociala förhållande
BACKGROUND: Influenza is a contagious viral airborne disease that adds to the clinical and economic burden on the healthcare system. It could be prevented substantially by seasonal influenza vaccination. Seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness (SIVE) varies a lot and should therefore be monitored. This report aims to update age-stratified SIVE estimates among patients hospitalized due to severe a
Immigrants from the Middle East to Sweden have a twice as high prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity as native-born Swedes. Both obesity and T2D have been linked to increased incidence of cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality (ACM); however, data on differences between ethnicities are scarce. In a population-based cohort we aimed to study the impact of Middle Easte
The successful management of a childbirth emergency will be dependent on the decision-making of involved obstetricians and gynecologists. Individual differences in decision-making may be explained through personality traits. The objectives of the present study were (I) to describe personality trait levels of obstetricians and gynecologists and (II) to examine the relationship between obstetricians
För att kunna optimera idrottares säkerhet är det viktigt att tränare och medicinsk personal har utbildning i HLR och OB-ABCDE-principerna. För paraidrottare är det också viktigt att ha en plan för hur man tar bort utrustning vid ett trauma. Dessutom rekommenderas det att medicinsk personal alltid är närvarande vid tävlingar, och om möjligt även under idrottarnas träningspass.In order to optimize the safety of athletes, it is important that coaches and medical personnel have training in CPR and the OB-ABCDE principles. For para athletes, it is also important to have a plan for how to remove equipment in the event of a trauma. In addition, it is recommended that medical personnel are always present at competitions, and if possible also during the athletes' training sess
Bohr’s Theorem [10] states that analytic functions bounded by 1 in the unit disk have power series ∑anzn such that ∑|an||z|n
This chapter describes economic insights from research having studied the ongoing information and communications technology (ICT)-based structural transformation of the business sector. It also describes initiatives by the EU in the field of digitalisation and their likely economic impact. The chapter concludes by arguing that the key for the EU to ensure that the ongoing ICT-based structural tran
Previous research indicates that firms pay a premium to poach workers from exporting firms if experience working for an internationally engaged firm reduces trade costs. Because international experience is less valuable to non-exporters, we would expect to see differences in recruitments between firms that are internationally engaged and those that serve only the domestic market. Moreover, increas
Cambodia in 2022 was at the crossroads of the past and the future. Preparations were under way for the imminent power handover to a new generation of Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) leaders, most of whom are scions of the incumbent government. The era of the military fighter generation of CPP leaders led by Prime Minister Hun Sen was drawing to an end, which necessitated the reflection on and the c
Background: Bioactive adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) is a vasoactive peptide with a key role in reducing vascular hyperpermeability and improving endothelial stability during infection, but it also has vasodilatory properties. Bioactive ADM has not been studied in conjunction with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but it has recently been shown to correlate with outcomes after severe COVID-19.
Background: A prediction model that estimates survival and neurological outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients has the potential to improve clinical management in emergency rooms. Methods: We used the Swedish Registry for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation to study all out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases in Sweden from 2010 to 2020. We had 393 candidate predictors describing the cir
Traditional agricultural or eco-hydrological models usually ignore soil deformation and its impact on hydrothermal properties when simulating soil water, heat, and salt transport under freeze–thaw conditions. As a result, significant errors may occur when these models are used in areas with considerable frost heave, such as arid areas with shallow groundwater tables. In this study, the simultaneou
Climate change has caused significant impacts on water resource redistribution around the world and posed a great threat in the last several decades due to intensive human activities. The impacts of human water use and management on regional water resources remain unclear as they are intertwined with the impacts of climate change. In this study, we disentangled the impact of climate-induced human
OBJECTIVE: Prior studies have reported that heart failure typically affects elderly, multimorbid and socioeconomically deprived men. Women with heart failure are generally older, have a higher EF (ejection fraction) and have more heart failure-related symptoms than men. This study explored the disparities in the prevalence of heart failure between men and women in relation to age, multimorbidity l
