Den torkdrabbade Östra provinsen i Rwanda upplever återkommande vattenbrist som begränsar befolkningens försörjningsmöjligheter. Denna studie undersöker säsongsvariationer i vattenanvändning, tillgång och effekter av vattenbrist i Lower Akagera-området genom en kombination av hushållsintervjuer, grundvattenövervakning och fjärranalys av dammar. Ett Normaliserat Vattenanvändningsindex utvecklThe drought-prone Eastern Province of Rwanda faces recurring water scarcity that constrains rural livelihoods. This thesis investigates seasonal water use, availability, and impacts in the Lower Akagera catchment by combining household interviews, groundwater monitoring, and remote sensing of dams. A Normalised Water Use Index (NWUI) was developed to capture seasonal groundwater abstraction and l

Arsenic (As) is one of the most important dangerous elements as more than 100 million of people are exposed to risk, globally. The permissible threshold of As for drinking water is 10 μg/L according to both the WHO’s drinking water guidelines and the Iranian national standard. However, several studies have indicated that As concentrations exceed this threshold value in several regions of Iran. Thi

Background: In several European countries, centralization of oesophagogastric cancer surgery has been realized and clinical audits initiated. The present study was designed to evaluate differences in resection rates, outcomes and annual hospital volumes between these countries, and to analyse the relationship between hospital volume and outcomes. Methods: National data were obtained from cancer re

In the last decade, with the growing demand for efficient and more sustainable products that reduce our CO2 footprint, progresses in Additive Manufacturing (AM) have paved the way for optimized heat exchangers, whose disruptive design will heavily depend on predictive numerical simulations. Typical AM rough surfaces show limited resemblance to the artificially constructed rough surfaces that have

BACKGROUND: Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a useful low-cost marker of insulin resistance. We aimed to evaluate the association between TyG index and arterial stiffness, incidence of diabetes, adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in two large prospective Swedish cohorts, the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study-Cardiovascular Cohort (MDCS-CV) and the Malmö Preven

Quality of Life and long-term clinical outcome following robot-assisted radical trachelectomy. Objectives: To evaluate quality of life (QoL) and long-term clinical outcome following robot-assisted radical trachelectomy (RRT). Study Design: Prospectively retrieved clinical data were rereviewed on all women planned for a fertility sparing RRT for early stage cervical cancer at Skåne University Hospi

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate if associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) could increase resection rates (RRs) compared with two-stage hepatectomy (TSH) in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Background: Radical liver metastasis resection offers the only chance of a cure for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients with colo

Tundra regions are projected to warm rapidly during the coming decades. The tundra biome holds the largest terrestrial carbon pool, largely contained in frozen permafrost soils. With warming, these permafrost soils may thaw and become available for microbial decomposition, potentially providing a positive feedback to global warming. Warming may directly stimulate microbial metabolism but may also

Background: There is a need for a prehospital stroke test that in addition to high sensitivity for stroke, also is able to communicate stroke severity similar to the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Methods: The PreHospital Ambulance Stroke Test (PreHAST), an eight item test based on NIHSS, which scores stroke severity from 0-19 points, was designed and adapted for the ambulance

Primary immunodeficiencies (IDs) are caused by inherited genetic defects leading to intrinsic defects in cells of the immune systems. Most IDs are rare diseases and can be difficult to diagnose because similar symptoms characterize several disorders. Mutation detection is the most reliable method in such cases. These tests are not available at most centers and physicians can have difficulties in f

VAD SKA VI MED KYLTORN TILL? Vad skulle kyltorn kunna ha med Sveriges hållbarhetsmål att göra? Enorma mängder energi går åt till att kyla processer och det är inte helt osannolikt att den går till kyltorn. Att kyla med kyltorn är effektivt, men värmen är bortkastad till luften. Om man kunde göra något med energin skulle det kunna liknas med en outnyttjad guldåder. Sverige följer åtagandet i AgendAchieving a sustainable Swedish industry will require better utilization of resources already available and already spent. Nationally, vast amounts of heat are released into the atmosphere and not made use of. If only a fraction of this energy could be exploited, the path to net zero emission society by 2045 would be thousands of tons worth of CO2 closer. In Sweden, 25% of excess heat delivered to

Objectives To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) of the ovary, and to define the ultrasound appearance of GCTs based on pattern recognition. Methods Databases of four gynecological ultrasound centers were searched to identify patients with histologically proven GCTs who had undergone a standard preoperative ultrasound examination. Results A total o

Specialist plant species in calcareous sandy grasslands are threatened by acidification and high nutrient levels in the topsoil. We investigated whether topsoil removal and soil perturbation in degraded sandy grasslands could lead to establishment of specialist species belonging to the threatened xeric sand calcareous grassland habitat. Restoration actions performed in 2006 resulted in increased s

Retinoblastoma Gene's Role in Salamander Superpowers Imagine if humans could regenerate lost limbs or repair damaged organs as easily as changing a worn-out part of a car. Sounds like science fiction, right? Yet, for the salamander Pleurodeles waltl, a creature native to Spain and parts of North Africa, this is just another day in the pond. In our study, we dive into the world of these amphib

The lifelong risk of stroke following adverse pregnancy outcomes, and potential causality, are unknown. This study examined five major adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term risk of stroke in a large population-based cohort. Methods A national cohort study was conducted of all 2 201 393 women with a singleton delivery in Sweden during 1973–2015, followed up for stroke through 2018. Cox regressio

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most com- mon cause of movement disorder and has a median age-of-onset of ~55 years. It presents with a classical triad of motor symptoms: akinesia, rigidity and tremor. Many patients also suffer from non-motor symptoms, including disturbances of autonomic func- tions and deterioration of cognition1. The aetiology and pathogenetic mechanisms that cause PD remain eni
