2. 1. Feasible computation of generalized linear mixed models with application to credit risk modelling

   Author : Md. Moudud Alam; Göran Boström; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Credit risk; cluster correlation; GLMM; large data; two-step pseudo likelihood estimation; defaults contagion; predictive likelihood; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; Statistics; Statistik; Statistics; Statistik; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with developing and testing feasible computational procedures to facilitate the estimation of and carry out the prediction with the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) with a scope of applying them to large data sets. The work of this thesis is motivated from an issue arising incredit risk modelling. READ MORE

4. 2. Studies on two bacterial resistance mechanisms to β-lactam antibiotics : extended spectrum β-lactamases in Klebsiella oxytoca and methicillin resistance in staphylococci

   Author : Shang Wei Wu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Eleven clinical isolates of Klebsiella oxytoca from Stockholm hospitals were found to be resistant to aztreonam and cefuroxime (MIC > 16 mg/L). The resistance was caused by a ß-lactamase with pI 5.25 and designated KH. Assay of the substrate profiles revealed that the KH ß-lactarnase was similar to the chromosomally encoded OXY-2 ß-lactamase. READ MORE

5. 3. Epidemiological aspects of musculoskeletal pain in the upper body. Analyzing common and recurrent binary outcomes

   Author : Anna Grimby-Ekman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; musculoskeletal; pain; neck; repeated measurements; logistic model; odds ratio OR ; risk ratio RR ; risk difference RD ; biological interaction;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to gain epidemiological knowledge about musculoskeletal pain in the upper body in light physical work, in relation to gender, psychosocial factors, and computer use; and to compare different methods for analyzing common and recurrent binary outcomes. Two study groups were investigated using questionnaire data: (a) computer users in the Swedish workforce and (b) a cohort of university students. READ MORE

6. 4. Home care communication : moving beyond the surface

   Author : Jessica Höglander; Inger K. Holmström; Jakob Håkansson Eklund; Annelie J. Sundler; Bjöörn Fossum; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : communication; home care services; nursing staff; older persons; person-centred care; RIAS; VR-CoDES; Care Sciences; vårdvetenskap;

   Abstract : Communication is an essential part of care and human interaction. While communication within care entails both task-focused and socio-emotional elements, nurses are sometimes perceived as too task-focused. When in need of care, older persons want to be perceived and treated as individuals – to feel involved. READ MORE

7. 5. Studies on bacterial transmission pathways in a high endemic area, with a focus on Helicobacter pylori

   Author : Anders Janzon; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : H. pylori; enterotoxigenic E. coli; V. cholerae; real-time PCR; transmission pathways; gastroenteritis; mouse infection models; bacterial gene expression;

   Abstract : Even though half of the world’s population is infected with Helicobacter pylori, which causes gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer, the transmission routes of these bacteria remain unknown despite extensive epidemiological studies. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Vibrio cholerae are two of the most common causes of acute watery diarrhea in developing countries. READ MORE
