The aims of this work are to better understand (1) the relation between exposure and the risk of an accident between pedestrians and motorized vehicles and between bicyclists and motorized vehicles occurring at urban intersections and (2) how the speed environment and the victim´s age relate to the injury severity/outcome once a pedestrian or a bicyclist has been struck by a motorized vehicle. Cro
Voting behavior influences the electoral process and voting pattern in every democratic government. When it especially pertains to any multicultural society there is often this global applicability of similar tendency to have similar historical reality when it comes to voting behavior. The Africa societies specifically have these similar tendencies mostly. In Nigeria, the country's political a
Amphibians are globally among the most endangered taxonomic groups of vertebrates. This is partly due to the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which causes the disease chytridiomycosis, that have led to eradication of more than 90 species of amphibians worldwide. The spadefoot toad (Pelobates fuscus) is one of the Swedish red listed species (VU) that are at risk of being affecte
Problem: HIV/AIDS is one of the most challenging health and development issues of modern times. This study takes place in Ghana, which is one of the countries that have made progress in the HIV/AIDS work during the last years. Information of HIV infection and prevention has increased in Ghana within the past few years, but behaviour change is yet a big issue to face and condom use remains low, esp

The interdisciplinary LU Network for Dynamic Systems Theory and Ecological Psychology (LUNDSTEP) aims to make visible, promote, and develop the theoretical, methodological, analytical, and practical implementations of Dynamic Systems Theory and Ecological Psychology.The network contains researchers, scholars, and students with interdisciplinarily varying interests, informed by principles from Dyna
BackgroundIn pediatric patients, computed tomography (CT) is important in the medical chain of diagnosing and monitoring various diseases. Because children are more radiosensitive than adults, they require minimal radiation exposure. One way to achieve this goal is to implement new technical solutions, like iterative reconstruction.PurposeTo evaluate the potential of a new, iterative, model-based
The construction workflow of in-situ concrete frames in multi-storey residential buildings is highly complex and dynamic. Discrete-event simulation (DES) offers capabilities to model and analyse such complexity. Although DES has successfully been used by researchers in a wide range of construction-related applications there are not many examples demonstrating how different simulation outputs (time
Objective: The aim of the study was to describe patients’ experience of yoga as a treatment for hypertension, as well as their experience of living with hypertension.

Intraosseous (IO) access is normally reserved for emergencies and critical care conditions when venous cannulation is not possible. Nonetheless, we present a case of IO insertion to a 56-year-old man, tetraplegic for many years due to progressive spinal muscular atrophy and with refractory suffering. The IO access was used for palliative sedation with propofol in a home care setting. The patient d
