Stroke represents one of the most significant global health challenges of the 21st century, with 11.9 million people experiencing stroke annually and a disproportionate burden falling on low- and middle-income countries, where 87% of stroke deaths and 89% of disability occur. Despite stroke being highly preventable—with 84% of the burden attributable to modifiable risk factors—and the availability
BACKGROUND: Secondary peritonitis is a serious condition with significant morbidity and mortality. Its management requires emergency laparotomy for source control. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) and primary abdominal closure (PAC) are the main strategies for managing the laparostomy after source control. Despite the increasing use of VAC, concerns persist regarding its complications and long-term o
Background Treatment of severe hemophilia A (SHA) with FVIII concentrates is complicated by the development of neutralizing inhibitors in about 30% during the first 50 exposure days (EDs). Despite extensive research, inhibitor risk of different FVIII concentrates remains to be elucidated. Objectives This study aimed to analyze inhibitor development according to (classes of) individual FVIII concen
This master thesis is aimed at developing a docking station for Axis communications’ camera V5915. The docking station in this master thesis will only reach a proof of concept level. Axis communications wanted to try to make an accessory which would make a camera wireless in the means of both power and communications. Studies on batteries were conducted early on in the project to understand the
This thesis project was completed in collaboration with Arjo, a MedTech company headquartered in Malmö, Sweden. Arjo’s product offering is largely centered around providing healthier outcomes for individuals with limited mobility and includes products for patient transfer, hygiene, disinfection, etc. One product type which is central to Arjo’s mission is the hygiene chair. This type of product is
This study investigates the relationship between the use of pesticides within Ängelholm Municipality’s largest water protection area and the levels of these substances in the drink-ing water. With a growing population and modern lifestyle, society has developed a de-pendency on continuous food production, which in turn has led to increased use of pesti-cides to ensure stable harvesters. This can h

Cities are important stakeholders in the EU’s quest to achieve climate neutrality (European Commission, 2020a). The EU has acknowledged the importance of cities through the EU Mission on ‘Climate Neutral and Smart Cities’, which aims to enable 100 European cities to become climate-neutral by 2030 (European Commission, 2021a). However, climate change has the potential to intersect with, exacerbate,
Floods are among the most frequent and destructive natural disasters in Sub-Saharan Africa, exacerbated by climate change, rapid urbanisation, and inadequate infrastructure. In this context, drones, or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), are increasingly recognised for their potential to enhance disaster management. Yet, adoption across the region remains fragmented, inconsistently integrated into work
IPH, specifically men's lethal violence against females, persists as a persuasive issue, both internationally and nationally. This is despite political reforms such as the 2020 legal amendment addressing such violence. In response to contemporary concerns and to analyse the phenomena deeper, this thesis focuses on the narratives, dynamics, and motives presented in court rulings concerning IPH
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is associated with high mortality. Whether cefazolin or an antistaphylococcal penicillin should be preferred for the treatment of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus bacteremia is unclear.METHODS: In an ongoing international Bayesian adaptive platform trial, we conducted an open-label, randomized comparison of cefazolin with an antistaphylococcal penicill
Background and Purpose Post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) improves both the locoregional control and survival in advanced breast cancer. While the use of bolus can enhance skin dose, many oncologists prefer not to use it because of the dramatic increase in skin toxicity. The optimal technique to ensure adequate skin dose is unknown, and this study compares the superficial dose for three technique
The main demographic and psychological correlates of Well-Being (WB) are well-established, but have not yet been assessed in the Swedish population–regularly ranked among the world's top five ranked WB nations–based on large, nationally representative data. Using 2023 Global Flourishing Study data (N = 15,068), this paper analyzes Swedish WB across three domains: demography (e.g., gender, age, and
Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory and Institutional Theory, this study explores the relationship between CEO narcissism, expressed through public facing digital communications, and firm- level Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance across distinct institutional contexts. While emerging literature connects executive use of social media to Corporate Social Responsibility, it remains u
Background: Preoperative lymph node staging in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) using 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET-CT) is sparsely reported. Objective: This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of PET-CT and conventional computed tomography (CT) for detecting regional lymph node metastases in patients with UTUC, using
Understanding the determinants that influence parents’ decisions to participate with their infants in primary prevention trials is essential for achieving representative study samples and ensuring the generalizability of outcomes. We analyzed quantitative and qualitative data collected from infants eligible for the Primary Oral Insulin Trial (N= 2,750) or the Supplementation with B. INfantis for M
BACKGROUND: In 2022, the Swedish Women's Elite Ice Hockey League (SDHL) became the first women's league to introduce bodychecking. Using insurance data, this study examined injury incidence before and after the implementation of this rule.METHOD: Since 2019, the SDHL has comprised 10 teams with 20-25 players on each. All players in SDHL have license insurance to take care of ice hockey injuries. A
