Förändrade förutsättningar för samverkan : Idéburna erfarenheter av idéburen offentlig samverkan med utgångspunkt i NAD

Rapporten presenterar resultaten av en studie som vi genomfört på uppdrag av Nätverket Idéburen Sektor Skåne och handlar om idéburna erfarenheter av samverkan med offentliga organisationer inom NAD. Syftet är att förstå hur strukturella förändringar och organisatoriska strategier har påverkat samverkan över tid. Tidsperioden sträcker sig från 2016 då vi genomförde en utvärdering av samverkan och 2

Land tenure formalisation and perceived tenure security: : Two decades of the land administration project in Ghana

Ghana’s Land Administration Project (LAP), initiated in 2003, aimed to enhance certainty regarding land rights. What has been achieved since then? We explore landowners’ perceptions of tenure security in Ghana using micro-level data from two waves of the Ghanaian Living Standards Surveys: GLSS5+ (2008) and GLSS7 (2017). This data allows us to study the linkages between land title formality and per

Tattoos as a risk factor for malignant lymphoma: a population-based case–control study

Background The popularity of tattoos has increased dramatically over the last few decades. Tattoo ink often contains carcinogenic chemicals, e.g., primary aromatic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals. The tattooing process invokes an immunologic response that causes translocation of tattoo ink from the injection site. Deposition of tattoo pigment in lymph nodes has been confirmed

Mennesker og trær har alltid hatt et nært fellesskap. Hva er det med trær, og hva har de med oss å gjøre? Historiker og teolog Thomas Arentzen oppsøker skoger, klatrer i trær, leser bibelske tekster og dykker ned i historiske kilder. Han finner mennesker som søker trær, men også trær som våker over mennesker. Trærnes evangelium er et essay om et landskap som på samme tid er hverdagslig og fantasti

African Economies in the Late Colonial Period, c. 1945-1960

In this chapter, focus is on the period 1945-1960 and the discussion is divided into three thematic sections: First, macro-economic structures including growth trends and the composition of the economies. Second, colonial budgets including state finance, fiscal capacity, and economic policy. Third, changes in occupations, incomes, and living standards primarily for the African subjects. The text p

Development of a clinical calculator to aid the identification of MODY in pediatric patients at the time of diabetes diagnosis

Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a young-onset, monogenic form of diabetes without needing insulin treatment. Diagnostic testing is expensive. To aid decisions on who to test, we aimed to develop a MODY probability calculator for paediatric cases at the time of diabetes diagnosis, when the existing “MODY calculator” cannot be used. Firth logistic regression models were developed on d

The accelerating disconnection of work from time and place : New questions for HR

The nature of work has already, for some time, been undergoing major changes as a result of technological progress. Mobile, virtual and cloud technologies, and the infrastructures that support them, are increasingly enabling work to be done from anywhere and at any time. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated this process, driving a large share of white-collar knowledge work to remote and h

Ungulate niche partitioning and behavioural plasticity of aurochs in Early Holocene southern Scandinavia revealed by stable isotope analysis of bone collagen

This study examines the impact of the extensive climatic and environmental changes associated with the Early Holocene on the feeding ecology of aurochs, European bison, red deer, and Eurasian elk in southern Scandinavia from radiocarbon dates and analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes. Molecular sex information is utilised in the study of aurochs to understand the underlying reasons behinThis study examines the impact of the extensive climatic and environmental changes associated with the Early Holocene on the feeding ecology of aurochs, European bison, red deer, and Eurasian elk in southern Scandinavia from radiocarbon dates and analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes.

A population-based study of the appearances of enteric Campylobacter and non-typhoidal Salmonella infections on computed tomography

BackgroundSwift identification and diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections are crucial for prompt treatment, prevention of complications, and reduction of the risk of hospital transmission. The radiological appearance on computed tomography could potentially provide important clues to the etiology of gastrointestinal infections. We aimed to describe features based on computed tomography of patien

Surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome in patients with and without diabetes-Is there a difference in the frequency of surgical procedures?

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs more often among individuals with diabetes. The aim of this retrospective observational registry study was to examine whether individuals with diabetes and CTS are treated surgically to the same extent as individuals with CTS but without diabetes. Data on CTS diagnosis and surgery were collected from the Skåne Healthcare Register (SHR). A total of 35,105 individ

The Impact of an Implementation Project on Primary Care Staff Perceptions of Delivering Brief Alcohol Advice

Objective. To explore how the perceptions and experiences of working with risky drinkers change over time among primary health care staff during a systematic implementation project. Methods. Qualitative focus group interviews took place before and after the implementation of the project. Results. The staff displayed a positive change during the implementation period with regard to awareness, knowl

Comparison of systematic versus targeted screening for detection of risky drinking in primary care

AIM: To compare two identification methods for risky drinking in primary health care centres (PHCs).METHODS: Sixteen PHCs from three Swedish counties were randomized into strands: consultation-based early identification (CEI) or systematic screening early identification (SS). Measurements took place at baseline and during two intervention periods. Patients filled in questionnaires including gender

Different methods of early identification of risky drinking : a review of clinical signs

AIMS: To review the literature on detection of risky drinking to compare early identification based on everyday clinical encounters with systematic screening. We also reviewed specific clinical signs that have been suggested to be used as indicators of risky drinking.METHODS: A literature review was performed in PubMed and CINAHL of articles up to November 2010.RESULTS: Systematic screening and se

Childhood atopic disorders in relation to placental changes-A systematic review and meta-analysis

Fetal programming may arise from prenatal exposure and increase the risk of diseases later in life, potentially mediated by the placenta. The objective of this systematic review was to summarize and critically evaluate publications describing associations between human placental changes and risk of atopic disorders during childhood. The review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemati

The Hausdorff Dimension of Escaping Sets of Meromorphic Functions in the Speiser Class

Bergweiler and Kotus gave sharp upper bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of the escaping set of a meromorphic function in the Eremenko–Lyubich class, in terms of the order of the function and the maximal multiplicity of the poles. We show that these bounds are also sharp in the Speiser class. We apply this method also to construct meromorphic functions in the Speiser class with preassigned dimensi

Steady-state entanglement production in a quantum thermal machine with continuous feedback control

Quantum thermal machines can generate steady-state entanglement by harvesting spontaneous interactions with local environments. However, using minimal resources and control, the entanglement is typically weak. Here, we study entanglement generation in a two-qubit quantum thermal machine in the presence of a continuous feedback protocol. Each qubit is measured continuously and the outcomes are used

MESH-RELATED COMPLICATIONS, CHRONIC PAIN, AND ECONOMIC CLAIM COMPENSATION AFTER UMBILICAL HERNIA REPAIR

AimThe risk of mesh-related surgical complications after umbilical hernia repair is not known and chronic pain has only sparsely been analysed. Economic claims may represent a surrogate for poor postoperative surgical outcomes. Thus, the present study used mesh-related complications and chronic pain as primary and secondary outcomes, respectively.Material and MethodsBlinded assessment of Swedish a
