Unlocking the impact of the CRPD on Swedish mental health law
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) sets out a new vision for mental health care with equality and self-determination as its core standards. The CRPD fundamentally challenges long-standing practices in Sweden including the use of involuntary hospitalization, treatment without consent, and the use of restraints. This article discusses the impact of this new vision on Swedish mental health law and policy. An examination…
Exploring the microbial landscape
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the etiology, clinical features, and outcomes of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults. Understanding the causative pathogens is essential for effective treatment and prevention. Design Between 2016–2018, 518 hospitalized adults with CAP and 241 controls without symptoms were prospectively enrolled. Urine samples were collected for pneumococcal urinary antigen tests and nasopharyngeal swabs for vi…
The Applicability of a 2-Transcript Signature to Identify Bacterial Infections in Children with Febrile Neutropenia
Febrile neutropenia is a common complication during chemotherapy in paediatric cancer care. In this setting, clinical features and current diagnostic tests do not reliably distinguish between bacterial and viral infections. Children with cancer (n = 63) presenting with fever and neutropenia were recruited for extensive microbiological and blood RNA sampling. RNA sequencing was successful in 43 cases of febrile neutropenia. These were classified a…
A GIS-Based Approach to Estimate Electricity Requirements for Small-Scale Groundwater Irrigation
Access to modern energy services is a precondition to improving livelihoods and building resilience against climate change. Still, electricity reaches only about half of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), while about 40% live under the poverty line. Heavily reliant on the agriculture sector and increasingly affected by prolonged droughts, small-scale irrigation could be instrumental for development and climate change adaptation in SSA co…
Genetic Sequence Variants in TLR4, MBL or IL-1 Receptor Antagonist is not Associated to Increased Risk for Febrile Neutropenia in Children with ALL
Sequence variants in genes involved in the immune system have previously been linked to neutropenia as well as infections in cancer patients. Sequence variants in genes coding for TLR4 , MBL , and IL-1Ra were investigated in relation to clinical utility of identifying severe episodes of febrile neutropenia (FN) in a cohort of children undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The study included 122 children, where data on FN and micr…
A Scandinavian Town and Its Hinterland
Discussing Nordic towns in medieval and Early Modern eras must always start by noting that this is, at least up to the seventeenth century, a kind of periphery. In this article, we summarize aspects of the sixteenth-century town of Nya Lödöse and its hinterland, drawing on both archaeological and historical knowledge. The hinterland experienced an economic development in the sixteenth century, and increased volumes of exports of wood, iron, and a…
Etiology of community acquired pneumonia among children in India
BACKGROUND: Childhood community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a significant problem in developing countries, and confirmation of microbial etiology is important for individual, as well as public health. However, there is paucity of data from a large cohort, examining multiple biological specimens for diverse pathogens (bacteria and viruses). The Community Acquired Pneumonia Etiology Study (CAPES) was designed to address this knowledge gap. METHODS:…
Transit, Transition
In July 2006 archaeologists from the University of Bristol and Atkins Heritage embarked on a contemporary archaeology project with a difference. We ‘excavated’ an old (1991) Ford Transit van, used by archaeologists and later by works and maintenance teams at the Ironbridge Museum. The object: to see what can be learnt from a very particular, common and characteristic type of contemporary place; to establish what archaeologists and archaeology can…
Lära sig lycka
You can learn to be happy — just as well as you can learn to think logically or take care of a home, young authress, miss Tyra Hagström declares in February 1935. The article deals with statements like this, characteristic examples of the firm conviction that happiness is something accessible to all and possible if only the right actions are taken. The notion of happiness is quite problematic, and no one ever really manages to put into words a co…
Att leva med allergi — en livets paradox
The daily life of families with allergic children is patterned by the allergies. The food allergies create a disorder and an abnormality despite their increasing commonness among people in general, and the question is how families manage to create and lead their daily life in spite of or with the allergies. How they reach a sense of order and normality and make their own lives working. One hindrance for accomplishing this is the common western vi…
