Främsta orsakerna till satsningar på videoövervakningslösningar i detaljhandeln är en vilja att minska oönskade förluster i form av svinn och olika typer av kriminalitet riktad mot butiker. Det visar en studie utförd av forskargruppen Lusax vid Lunds universitet. Studien visar också att den svårtolkade lagstiftningen är ett hinder för bredare användning av videoövervakning.
Objective: To assess the associations between neonatal hyperglycaemia and insulin treatment, versus long-Term neurodevelopmental outcomes in children born extremely preterm. Design and setting: Observational national cohort study (Extremely Preterm Infants in Sweden Study) using prospectively and retrospectively collected data. Neurodevelopmental assessment was performed at 6.5 years of age. Patie
BACKGROUND: Mesoamerica is severely affected by an epidemic of Chronic Kidney Disease of non-traditional origin (CKDnt), an epidemic with a marked variation within countries. We sought to describe the spatial distribution of CKDnt in Mesoamerica and examine area-level crop and climate risk factors.METHODS: CKD mortality or hospital admissions data was available for five countries: Mexico, Guatemal
Study objective: We aim to describe the variability and identify gaps in preparedness and response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in European emergency departments (EDs) caring for children. Methods: A cross-sectional point-prevalence survey was developed and disseminated through the pediatric emergency medicine research networks for Europe (Research in European Pediatric Emergency Medic
This chapter provides an overview of LGBTQ+ organizations and movements in the Arabic-speaking world, as well as central themes and debates, including different strategies taken in translating terminology and developing a vocabulary to speak about nonnormative sex, gender, and identification in Arabic. Treating translation as performance, emphasizing the political impact of terminology, and viewin
Background and purpose: Up-to-date population-based information about long-term survival, causes of death and recurrence after stroke is needed. Methods: Four hundred consecutive individuals in a population-based cohort of first-ever stroke between 2015 and 2016 in Lund, Sweden, were followed up to 3 years regarding (i) survival (Swedish Population Register); (ii) causes of death (Swedish Causes o
Sweden is actively seeking to scale up repair activities as part of its strategy to reduce waste, transition to a circular economy, and achieve zero net emissions by 2045. In the last couple of years, several new policies to promote consumer repairs have been adopted or proposed in Sweden. However, very little is known about the socio-cultural factors that shape people's decision to repair their p
Why do citizens’ decisions made because they favour the mitigation of climate change outnumber those made because they favour adaptation to its impacts? Using data collected in a survey of 338 citizens of Malmö, Sweden, we tested two hypotheses. H1: the motivation for personal decisions because they favour adaptation to the impacts of climate change correlates with the decision-making agent´s know
Following systemic injection, hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) is known to be selectively retained in malignant tissue. This property can be used in a two-fold way: a) for localizing tumours by observing the characteristic dual-peaked laser-induced fluorescence from HPD, and b) for photodynamic therapy (HPD-PDT) using a localized HPD-assisted singlet oxygen release induced by irradiation of 630 nm
In this paper, a flexible model called extended Chen (EC) distribution is derived from the generalized Burr-Hatke differential equation and nexus between the exponential and gamma variables. The EC distribution is also derived from compounding mixture of the generalized Chen and gamma distributions. The EC distribution is very flexible and its hazard rate function accommodates various shapes such
To survive organisms must defend themselves against pathogens. Classical Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes play a key role in pathogen defense by encoding molecules involved in pathogen recognition. MHC gene diversity influences the variety of pathogens individuals can recognize and respond to and has consequently been a popular genetic marker for disease resistance in ecology and evolu
Introduction: Percutaneous ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy is a well-established method in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors. It is unclear which factors contribute the most to a successful biopsy. The aim of the study was to determine the value of ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of solid lesions in the musculoskeletal system using a 16-gauge needle. Material and methods: A retrosp
Airway basal cells are crucial for regeneration of the human lung airway epithelium, and are thought to be important contributors to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other lung disorders. In order to reveal how basal cells contribute to disease, and to discover novel therapeutic targets, these basal cells need to be further characterized. In this study, we optimized a flow cytometr
Healthcare in Sweden is dealing with problems regarding accessibility for patients. Moreover, there is a lack of an overall model concerning matching specialist care to patients. Against this background, the purpose was to develop a preliminary healthcare matching model and discuss the barriers of this model. Theoretically, the study draws on the concepts of matching and coordination completed wit
Incubating birds trade off self-maintenance for keeping eggs warm. This causes lower incubation temperature in more challenging conditions, with consequences for a range of offspring traits. It is not yet clear how low developmental temperature affects cold tolerance early in life. This is ecologically important because before full thermoregulatory capacity is attained, precocial chicks must switc
Background: The goal of postnatal care is to provide the highest possible quality of care and medical safety with the least possible intervention in order to optimize health and wellbeing of the new family. The aim of the study was to describe mothers´ experiences in relation to a new postnatal home-based model of midwifery care. Methods: The current study uses a cross-sectional mixed method desig
