Background: People with disabilities have the right to personal mobility and available and affordable assistive technology, according to the Convention of Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The aims were to investigate similarities and differences between Sierra Leone and Malawi concerning participants’ mobility and satisfaction with their lower-limb prosthetic or orthotic device and related ser

Equipped with Junot Díaz’s novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) and his collections of short stories Drown (1996) and This Is How You Lose Her (2012), this thesis interprets the fundamentals of migrant literature, studies Díaz’s tools of migrant depiction, and examines contemporary postcolonial and migrant discourse. This is performed in three integral segments of study. First, the un
The effect on a model drug delivery system when adding a drug, lidocaine, has been studied. Temperature and concentration dependence of a nonionic microemulsion with part of the oil, 1 and 10 vol. %, substituted with drug has been investigated. A nonionic oil-in-water microemulsion consisting of CH3(CH2)(11)(OCH2CH2)(5)OH, (C12E5), decane, water and the drug (lidocaine) that has been used to subst
IntroductionEmerging evidence suggests a difference in access to facilities for medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) and delivery among women in different regions of the country. However, we lack assessments at a large scale across all geographies. Our study aims to describe the percent contribution of private and public sectors in institutional deliveries and MTP in India.MethodsA secondary dat
Oil-based drug delivery systems have been studied in different aspects. The present study proposes a new application for an oil-based delivery system, focusing on controlled release until the drug reaches the later part of the small intestine. Bulk surfactants and interfacial surfactants were added into the oil formulation to provide a better mechanistic understating of the lipolysis. Validation o

Smoluchowski's coagulation equation is studied for the kernel K (u, v) = E(u(alpha)v(beta) + u(beta) v(alpha)) with real, non-negative alpha, beta and E, using gamma distributions with a singularity at zero volume as initial size spectra. As the distribution parameter of the gamma distribution, p, approaches its lower limit (p -> 0) the distribution becomes similar to pv(p-1) 1 for small v. Asympt
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how social constructions of masculinities are connected to the high prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) in the Bolivian context. Moreover, the thesis aimed to uncover why a growing number of organizations in Bolivia have chosen to incorporate a “masculinity approach” in their GBV interventions, and to analyse the challenges and opportunities pres
This paper critically examines sexual risk reduction interventions, more specifically how they are evaluated and the implications that this has for sexual health policy. The focus is on motivational interviewing (MI) interventions which aim to promote protective behaviors related to sexual risk on the part of young people. MI has become increasingly popular, largely due to it being a highly flexibThis paper critically examines sexual risk reduction interventions, more specifically how they are evaluated and the implications that this has for sexual health policy.

Background: Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is a common behavior in psychiatric populations. However, little is known regarding how DSH impacts daily life. The concept of functional disability, adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO), refers to the impact of disorders on six domains of daily functioning. The aim of the current study was to explore the functional disability of psychiatric patient
The purpose of this work was to present collective data on firefighter fatalities in Sweden between 1937 and 2016. Data presented is directly related to operations only. Fatalities due to long-term exposure of gases, particles, and physical/psychological stress or similar were not included in the study. Also, accidents involving ambulances as well as fatalities in direct relation to physical train
