Att driva förbättringsarbete inom demensvård

This teaching case of improved dementia care is mainly targeting employees in the health and care sector, decision-makers or students who study medicine and/or care at universities. The case is available in two versions and has one teaching instruction. Version A1 is adapted to practitioners working in dementia care and is a "clean" description of a success case. Version A2 is targeting students.

Aligning research with policy and practice for sustainable agricultural land systems in Europe

Agriculture is widely recognized as critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but researchers, policymakers, and practitioners have multiple, often conflicting yet poorly documented priorities on how agriculture could or should support achieving the SDGs. Here, we assess consensus and divergence in priorities for agricultural systems among research, policy, and practice persp

Beyond state regulation of informality: : understanding access to public space by street vendors in Bogotá

Selling goods and providing services in public spaces is one of the most accessible occupations for many urban poor. However, use of public space for such occupations is often prohibited by local regulations, excluding street vendors from legally using this space for their survival. While significant research has been devoted to state efforts to control informality, less is known about the everyda

Sustainable Welfare beyond Growth

A deprioritization of economic growth in policy making in developed nations will need to be part of a global effort to tackle climate change and reembed economy and society into planetary boundaries. The presentation introduces the concept of 'sustainable welfare', which integrates environmental sustainability and social welfare research. Central to this concept is the notion of human needs and ho

Uric acid detection by means of SERS spectroscopy on dried Ag colloidal drops

Uric acid concentration in human bodily fluids is an important marker for disorders such as gout, pre‐eclamsia or cardiovascular disease. However, currently used methods for its detection either lack sensitivity or require sophisticated, bulky and expensive equipment. In this work, we show that by using surface‐enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS) on dried Ag colloidal drops and with 1064

Emission enhancement, light extraction and carrier dynamics in InGaAs/GaAs nanowire arrays

Nanowires (NWs) have the potential for a wide range of new optoelectronic applications. For example, light-emitting diodes that span over the whole visible spectrum are currently being developed from NWs to overcome the well known green gap problem. However, due to their small size, NW devices exhibit special properties that complicate their analysis, characterization, and further development. In

Performance of Bio-Rad HIV-1/2 Confirmatory Assay in HIV-1, HIV-2 and HIV-1/2 dually reactive patients - comparison with INNO-LIA and immunocomb discriminatory assays

Background: Being able to discriminate between HIV-1, HIV-2 and HIV-1/2 dual infection is imperative for the appropriate selection of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in regions with high HIV-2 endemicity. Objectives: To evaluate Bio-Rad Geenius HIV-1/2 Confirmatory Assay against INNO-LIA HIV 1/2 Score and ImmunoComb HIV 1/2 BiSpot with an emphasis towards ability to discriminate between HIV-1, HIV-2

Rational targeting of population groups and residential areas for colorectal cancer screening

Background: Sociodemographic and spatial disparities in incidence and mortality burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) are important to consider in the implementation of population screening, in order to achieve expected benefit and not increase health inequities. Analytic methods should be adapted to provide rational support for targeted interventions. Methods: CRC incidence rates by tumor stage (I-IV

Indentation of thin copper film using molecular dynamics and peridynamics

In this study we investigate the efficiency of peridynamics to reproduce results from molecular dynamic simulations of nanoindentation of thin single-crystal fcc copper layers by calibration of material parameters in the peridynamic model. The free-ware LAMMPS supports both molecular dynamic and peridynamics approaches, and has been used as the common framework. Nanoindentation response for two di
