Effective workload planning in Skåne hospitals relies on accurate, data-driven birth forecasts. Weekly and hospital-level predictions are particularly important in the healthcare sector for operational decision-making, including staffing and maternity unit resource allocation. This study develops and evaluates a time series forecasting model capable of predicting weekly birth counts in the Skåne r
The primary aim of the paper is to evaluate whether listed Nordic serial acquirers create short-term abnormal returns at the time of acquisition announcements, and also to determine if serial acquirers experience diminishing returns following additional acquisition announcements, and if concentrated family ownership mitigates the diminishing returns. Theoretical perspectives used include agency t
Urban trees are uniquely valuable in towns and cities for the ecosystem services they provide their citizens and can as such be considered a potent source of public goods and positive externalities - even when these trees are found on private properties. The importance of urban trees will only grow as events of severe heat and extreme rainfall become more and more frequent and the urgency to reduc
The healthfulness of a dietary pattern is not merely measured in its content of nutrients, but also of the diversity of the ingredients present. The methods of analyzing dietary diversity, such as Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) index and Dietary Species Richness (DSR), have been developed in the last decades, used to capture different forms of dietary diversity. Increased dietary dive
Sexual violence (SV) is a problem that disproportionately involves men acting violently towards women, especially against women from social minority groups like women with disabilities or with an immigration background. In addressing the issue, policies to address sexual violence honor this empirical reality by developing measures that are focused on supporting women and that are targeted at t
BackgroundIntravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) have been suggested as an adjunctive treatment in streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS), but there are no conclusive trials. In southern Sweden, IVIG is routinely used in certain hospitals but not in others. We hypothesized that this would resemble a natural experiment, and aimed to evaluate the effect of IVIG in STSS patients.MethodWe conducted a p
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD), defined as ventricular dysfunction occurring within 24 hours after heart transplantation (HTx) in the absence of identifiable secondary causes, remains a major contributor to early post-transplant mortality. Over the past decade, there has been a growing understanding of the burden of PGD, the clinical relevance of PGD classification and severity grading, and effor
