Traditional publishers of journalistic material have found a new channel through which they can reach the readers namely the Internet. The material is often the same in the online version as in the paper based version, but not enough thought has been paid to how the different media influence the way of reading. The Internet as medium imposes new criteria as to how the content should be published.
BACKGROUND: Many countries lack sufficient medical doctors to provide safe and affordable surgical and emergency obstetric care. Task-sharing with associate clinicians (ACs) has been suggested to fill this gap. The aim of this study was to assess maternal and neonatal outcomes of caesarean sections performed by ACs and doctors. METHODS: All nine hospitals in Sierra Leone where both ACs and doctors
Purpose: Patients with acromegaly have an increased risk of sleep apnea, but reported prevalence rates vary largely. Here we aimed to evaluate the sleep apnea prevalence in a large national cohort of patients with acromegaly, to examine possible risk factors, and to assess the proportion of patients diagnosed with sleep apnea prior to acromegaly diagnosis. Methods: Cross-sectional multicenter stud
BACKGROUND: Falls and related injuries are common among older people, and several drug classes are considered to increase fall risk.AIMS: This study aimed to investigate the association between the use of certain drug classes and falls in older nursing home residents in Sweden, and relate these to different age groups.METHODS: Information on falls that occurred in the previous year and regular use
Purpose: This paper is based on a study of six similar buildings built in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1971, which were in urgent need of renovation. A life cycle profit analysis shows how four competing concepts were evaluated to find a financially viable renovation concept; additionally, the environmental impacts of these renovation concepts using a life cycle assessment are presented. Design/methodol
BACKGROUND: Women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are at increased risk of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Offspring from pregnancies complicated by HDP also have worse cardiometabolic status in childhood and young adulthood, but the offspring risk of clinical hypertension in adulthood is largely unknown.METHODS: We studied 13,893 first-born a
Objective: To determine the prevalence, change in breathlessness status over time, and risk factors for disabling and persistent disabling breathlessness in relation to treatments in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Materials and methods: Longitudinal analysis of data from the Swedish National Register of COPD with breathlessness measured using modified Medical Research Council (mMRC)
INTRODUCTION: Hypertension and dyslipidemia often precede cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle modifications help prevent these conditions, and referrals for women may be possible during reproductive health care visits. However, screening recommendations vary, which may affect screening rates. The objectives of this systematic review were to 1) assess the available literature on the effectiveness of
Objective. To compare participants and non-participants early in the process of an audit on treatment of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and to analyse any effect of the actual self-registration on the prescription of antibiotics in both groups. Design. All 80 general practitioners (GPs) at 14 health centres were invited to audit their use of antibiotics and 45 agreed to participate. There wer
Exposed, well-drained and nutrient poor areas on Spitsbergen are mainly covered by a plant alliance typical for Svalbard, the Caricion nardinae. Caricion nardinae is a circum-polar alliance, which is dominated by the creeping, ever-green dwarf-shrub Dryas octopetala. On the beach flats of western Spitsbergen, Jonas Åkerman (1983) observed in 1979 the plant Dryas octopetala growing in an unusual pa
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety at Vasamuseet on Djurgården in Stockholm. The museum has twelve floors and consists of the ship hall including large and small exhibitions, a restaurant, a gift shop, and areas for staff.

Duni has successfully expand their business internationally. Internationalization makes the distance between the producer and consumers become longer and this leads to strength reduction of corrugated boxes along the supply chain. To overcome this problem, this study is conducted to find the extent of corrugated boxes strength reduction during logistical activities, practices and condition in the
Unlike other environmental threats, the loss of biodiversity is irreversible and the current and rapid loss of species is alarming. Several authors agree the state-owned protected areas are not sufficient to lessen biodiversity loss which is accentuated because most of the biodiversity is on private land. In this thesis, I study private conservation’s role as a tool for biodiversity conservation a
This master thesis started as part of “Industry Wise”, an explorative research based project initialized by the company Interactive Institute in 2009. The goal of Industry Wise was to increase electricity awareness and/or stimulate change of energy behavior among employees in industries by visualizing their electricity consumption in real time. I joined Industry Wise to be a part of the research a
Model-based design is in many ways seen as a potential instrument in process industries due to the close link between the process and the model. In Växjö, the process industry of Lantmännen Reppe AB produces syrup. The syrup goes through an evaporation process in order to raise the sugar concentration. If the concentration gets to high the syrup turns solid, which can make the process a bit tricky
Stockholm Arlanda Airport är Sveriges mest använda flygplats och terminal 4 är en av flygplatsens mest använda terminaler. Verksamheten bedrivs dygnet runt och antalet personer är mycket varierande. I denna rapport utvärderas säkerheten i händelse av brand i terminalens incheckningshall med avseende på personsäkerhet. Flera möjliga brandscenarier identifierades med bakgrund i information från ettStockholm Arlanda airport is the busiest airport in Sweden and Terminal 4 is one of the airports most frequently used terminals. The business is running through all hours of the day and the number of occupants is largely varying. In the following report the fire safety of the check-in and bag drop area is evaluated regarding the occupant’s safety. Several possible fire scenarios were identified u
