  2. 1. Constructing patient safety. Exploring unsafe care events in hospital settings as reported by patients, relatives, and healthcare professionals

    Author : Anna Gyberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Access; Adverse events; Healthcare professional; Hospital care; Patient; Patient participation; Patient safety; Relatives; Unsafe care;

    Abstract : The conditions of hospital care are continuously transformed with advances in medicine and technology, and with organizational alterations influenced by the changing needs of the population. As these conditions affect patient safety, and because adverse events are a global public health problem today, knowledge about how unsafe care is understood and how patient safety can be achieved is needed.

  5. 3. Modelling and inference of relative collision safety in cars

    Author : Anna Vadeby; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Collision; Mathematical model; Head on collision; Injury; Risk; Car; 91 Road: Vehicle design and construction; 91 Road: Vehicle design and construction; 85 Road: Personal injuries; 85 Road: Personal injuries;

    Abstract : We propose a new mathematical model for relative collision safety in cars. Our present research is restricted to head-on crashes between two cars and we try to determine how much of the injury risk in a crash that depends on car model. The relative risks include the driver populations of the different car models. READ MORE

  6. 4. Risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis : epidemiological studies of perinatal characteristics, infections and the inflammatory reflex

    Author : Cecilia Carlens; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is characterised by symmetric polyarthritis leading to progressive joint destruction. The aim of this thesis was to contribute to better knowledge of the etiology of RA by investigating the importance of the inflammatory reflex, childhood infections and early life exposures as risk factors for RA, based on four epidemiological studies.
