2. 1. Chronic musculoskeletal pain: a multifactorial process

   Author : Stefan Bergman; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; widespread; SF-36; risk factors; rheumatoid arthritis; pain; musculoskeletal; epidemiology; fibromyalgia; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

   Abstract : The aim was to study prevalence, assessment methods, and risk factors of chronic musculoskeletal pain, as well as effects on health status in a general population setting. A postal survey to a representative sample of 3928 subjects aged 20–74 years in 2 municipalities on the west coast of Sweden was followed by clinical examinations of selected subjects, and a three-year follow up survey to 2425 subjects who answered completely to the first.

4. 2. Shape Matters : Characterization of Weak Interactions and Macrocycles by Conformational Analysis

   Author : Stefan Peintner; Máté Erdélyi; Oliver Zerbe; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : When studying conformational ensembles, it is most challenging to identify and characterize rapidly interconverting individual conformers. A precise description of the structural dynamics, however, rewards viable knowledge on conformation stabilizing forces as well as on the impact of external influences on the conformer composition.

5. 3. Neonatal Resuscitation : Understanding challenges and identifying a strategy for implementation in Nepal

   Author : Ashish KC; Mats Målqvist; Uwe Ewald; Stefan Swartling Peterson; Susan Niermeyer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antepartum stillbirth; intrapartum stillbirth; neonatal mortality; first-day neonatal mortality; antenatal care; fetal heart rate monitoring; partogram; preterm; small-for-gestational-age; clinical adherence; neonatal resuscitation; skill retention; quality improvement cycle; Nepal; International Health; Internationell hälsa;

   Abstract : Despite the unprecedented improvement in child health in last 15 years, burden of stillbirth and neonatal death remain the key challenge in Nepal and the reduction of these deaths will be crucial for reaching the health targets for Sustainable development goal by 2030.The aim of this thesis was to explore the risk factors for stillbirth and neonatal death and change in perinatal outcomes after the introduction of the Helping Babies Breathe Quality Improvement Cycle (HBB QIC) in Nepal.

6. 4. Probabilistic Modelling of Hearing : Speech Recognition and Optimal Audiometry

   Author : Svante Stadler; Arne Leijon; Stefan Stenfelt; KTH; []
   Keywords : auditory models; probabilistic modelling; speech modelling; human speech recognition; hearing aids; cochlear implants; psychoacoustics; diagnostic methods; optimal experiments; audiometry;

   Abstract : Hearing loss afflicts as many as 10\% of our population.Fortunately, technologies designed to alleviate the effects ofhearing loss are improving rapidly, including cochlear implantsand the increasing computing power of digital hearing aids. Thisthesis focuses on theoretically sound methods for improvinghearing aid technology. READ MORE

7. 5. Beyond “test and treat” : Malaria diagnosis for improved pediatric fever management in sub-Saharan Africa

   Author : Emily White Johansson; Stefan Peterson; S. Patrick Kachur; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis examined malaria test use, adherence and integration into clinical practice for improved pediatric fever management in sub-Saharan African countries and explored Access, Facility Readiness and Clinical Practice bottlenecks to achieve this program goal.Study I examined diagnostic testing rates and its determinants for pediatric fevers across 13 countries in 2009-2012 including Access bottlenecks.
