Social medicine and public health have through history had a common and contemporary development and therefore shared common beliefs about what population health is and how it ought to be handled. It is with Industrialization that social medicine has its roots, when dramatic society changes contribu- ted to an interest towards causes in the social environment or in the political economic structure
Introduction Health technology assessment (HTA) is an area that remains less implemented in low- and lower middle-income countries. The aim of the study is to understand the perceptions of stakeholders in Uganda toward HTA and its role in decision making, in order to inform its potential implementation in the country. Methods The study takes a cross-sectional mixed methods approach, utilizing an a
Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC) have the potential to seriously impact ecosystems and humans. To date, numerous techniques have been investigated for removing such contaminants from water, including biodegradation, photocatalysis, ozonation, and the Fenton process. However, these methods are expensive from the perspectives of equipment and operating costs. Herein, we investigated the use of e
Biomass residues are often considered key in a reorientation towards circular bioeconomies, both by returning organic matter and nutrients to soils and by expanding the feedstock base for fossil-free products. Different indicators are available to assess progress towards circularity, but many available indicators and assessments seem to focus on product or material circularity, and lack in coverag
The open-source parameter identification tool ADAPT (A diversely applicable parameter identification Tool) is integrated with a machine learning-based approach for start value prediction in order to calibrate a Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman (GTN) and a Lemaitre damage model. As representative example case-hardened steel 16MnCrS5 is elaborated. An artificial neural network (ANN) is initially trained b
Environmental peacebuilding has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that integrates environmental governance with conflict resolution and post-conflict recovery. This chapter argues that this emerging field should be understood as a new paradigm in international law in two respects. First, it is a paradigm of legal ordering. In the absence of a single coherent regime for post-conflict environmen
In the present review paper by members of the collaborative research center "Register: Language Users' Knowledge of Situational-Functional Variation" (CRC 1412), we assess the pervasiveness of register phenomena across different time periods, languages, modalities, and cultures. We define "register" as recurring variation in language use depending on the function of language and on the social situ
Characteristic Mode analysis is a widely used technique in antenna design, providing insight into the fundamental electromagnetic behavior of radiating structures. In this paper, we establish fundamental bounds on the slope of characteristic mode eigenvalues and angles, demonstrating that their rate of change is subject to fundamental constraints for all possible realizations within a given design
Background: The 2015 Lancet Commission on global surgery identified surgery and anaesthesia as indispensable parts of holistic health-care systems. However, COVID-19 exposed the fragility of planned surgical services around the world, which have also been neglected in pandemic recovery planning. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel index to support local elective surgical system streng
Våld i nära relationer, och då främst mäns våld mot kvinnor, utgör ett erkänt samhällsproblem. En särskilt utsatt grupp är våldsutsatta kvinnor med osäker uppehållsrätt som kommit till Sverige på anknytning till en svensk man. Kvinnorna får tidsbegränsade uppehållstillstånd och om anknytningen bryts föreligger inte längre förutsättningar för uppehållstillståndet, och kvinnan utvisas. Om kvinnan kaDomestic violence, and primarily men's violence against women, is a well-recognized social problem. A particularly vulnerable group is abused women with uncertain right of residence. Their migration status depends on that of their spouse, and they receive only a temporary residence permit. If the relationship is broken, the conditions for the residence permit are no longer present and the woma
The present research seeks to understand interviews I have conducted with selected individuals in Budapest, Hungary. Through an analysis based on well-established feminist theory I analyse what the dimensions of quality and character of life can be like for those committed to an environmentally conscious lifestyle, and ultimately gives credence to the notion that there might be deeper psychologica
Histopathology is the procedure used in medicine to optically examine microscope-images of tissue samples (biopsies) in order to study the manifestation of disease. It is used, for example, to diagnose the spread and type of cancer tumors, which have implications on the chosen treatment. Currently this type of analysis is done manually by trained professionals. It is time consuming and the diagnos
Syftet med följande studie är att med hjälp av en kritisk diskursanalys undersöka vilka diskurser som texter om manlig psykisk ohälsa i svensk dagspress bygger på och hur dessa tar sig uttryck. Det sekundära syftet är att diskutera vad detta kan ha för konsekvenser för större sociala processer och förändringar som har med problem relaterade till manlig psykisk ohälsa att göra. I dagstidningarna AfThe purpose of this study is to, through a critical discourse analysis, examine what discourses are being used in texts about men’s mental illness in Swedish newspapers and in what way these are manifested. The purpose is further to discuss what possible consequences of the discourse practice there are in relation to wider social processes and changes that surround problems related to men’s mental
Postindustrial Malmö relies heavily on stories and images as engines for economic growth. Cities use place marketing strategies to attract capital, investments and affluent residents. The evident focus on economic growth has led to a significantly polarized city in which people with low-incomes, usually ethnic minorities, live in segregated areas such as Rosengård. Segregated and poor areas become
In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w
Many studies on how to encourage pro-environmental behaviour have been done. However, they have tended to focus on individual behaviour in isolation of social interactions despite increasing scepticism about the effectiveness of this approach in promoting the necessary transition toward a more sustainable society. Such a transition constitutes a central part of the transformational mode of sustain
Problem description: Warehouses and warehousing operations are often considered as some of the most crucial elements in a company's supply chain, and often stand for more than 20 percent of a company’s total logistics costs. The actual size of these costs are, together with most of the costs related to warehouse operations, mainly consequences of the decisions made when designing the warehouse
Denna rapport beskriver en produktutvecklingsprocess med målet att förbättra det nuvarande utbudet av infällda fästen för övervakningskameror i inomhustak. Ett infällt fäste är ett tillbehör som används när kameror, eller andra produkter, skall monteras i innertak när ett så diskret resultat som möjligt är målet. Målet var att designa en lösning som kan monteras snabbt, enkelt och med bara en handThis master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to extend the existing range of mounts for surveillance cameras mounted recessed in ceilings. A recessed mount is an accessory for mounting cameras, or other devices, in ceilings when a discreet finish is wanted. The goal was to design a solution that can be mounted fast, easy and with the use of one hand only. The comp
Det är viktigt för blivande läkare att kunna göra korrekta riskbedömningar utifrån patienters testresultat. Tidigare forskning indikerar att den förmågan kan vara bristfällig, men att den går att förbättra genom ett nytt format att presentera statistik på. Det nya formatet kallas naturliga antal och är potentiellt användbart inom undervisning i medicinsk statistik. Den här studien är den första i The ability to draw diagnostic inferences from medical test results is important for future doctors. Earlier research has indicated that this ability may generally be inadequate. However, it can be improved by presenting statistics in a new format, so called natural frequencies, which is adapted to the way the human mind process probabilities. If the effect of this format is robust and generalizab
