The aim of this study was to investigate from the perspective of formal carers the care given to people aged 65 and over, who are cared for in their own homes by informal care. Thirty-three district nurses (DNs) and 20 home service assistants in a municipality with 13500 inhabitants (over 65 years old), were interviewed about the location of care recipients and 398 care recipients were located.

Objective. To compare choice of actions and justifying reasons among the general public, GPs and oncologists. Design. A postal questionnaire using four vignettes: a healthy patient reluctant to quit smoking and one demanding an X-ray, a pulmonary cancer patient reluctant to quit smoking and one demanding immunotherapy. Subjects. A random sample of the general public (n=1000), GPs (n=200), and onco

The quality of the working environment affects the health status of a population. In the absence of government intervention this quality would be determined by market forces, but the market outcome is generally not accepted. Instead public policy attempts to carefully monitor the level of occupational hazards, which are invariably subject to regulation in industrialized countries. However, this st

A large proportion of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) remain uncontrolled on basal insulin. Yet, there is limited understanding of how people with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (PWUD) perceive control and insulin intensification and whether their perceptions differ from those of physicians. The purpose of the study was to investigate perceptions of control and views on insulin intensification amo

We studied 13299 operations of 3 common unicompartmental implants inserted during 1984 to 2004 and compared their cumulative revision rate during different periods, as well as whether minimally invasive surgery (MIS) had been used. In this way, we tried to evaluate how the introduction of implants and approaches affected the short-term results. The oldest implant, the Link, had stable results over

We reconstructed forest development and disturbance events (fire and logging) during the last 1000 yr with tree-ring data, pollen and charcoal analysis from a semi-natural Fagus sylvatica-Picea abies forest (ca. I km(2)) in the hemiboreal zone. According to pollen analysis, Quercus robur together with Pinus sylvestris was abundant in the forest until the turn of the 18th/19th centuries when these

I artikeln diskuteras de fackliga a-kassornas betydelse för den internationellt mycket höga fackliga organisationsgraden i Sverige. Kopplingen mellan fackföreningar och statsstödda a-kassor, det s k Ghent-systemet, tenderar emellertid undermineras av den sedan 1980-talet stigande direktanslutningen till a-kassorna. Vidare diskuteras möjliga konsekvenser av den obligatoriska arbetslöshetsförsäkring

Jurassic basanite necks occurring at the junction of two major fault zones in Scania contain ultramafic (peridotites, pyroxenites) and mafic xenoliths, which together indicate a diversity of upper mantle and lower crustal assemblages beneath this region. The peridotites can be subdivided into lherzolites, dunites and harzburgites. Most lherzolites are porphyroclastic, containing orthopyroxene and
