6. Design for 3D Concrete Printing : Optimisation Through Integrated Workflows
Sammanfattning : The transition from conventional cast concrete to 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) marks a paradigm shift by directly depositing fresh concrete layer upon layer according to a digital model without the need for a formwork. This technology offers the possibility of achieving innovative and complex geometries in an automated process. LÄS MER

8. Vitamin D, muscle strength, prolonged labour, Caesarean sections and lifestyle : Clinical and intervention studies in pregnant Somali and Swedish women and new mothers
Sammanfattning : Long-term severe vitamin D deficiency may cause osteomalacia with muscle weakness, pain, soft bones, cramps and eventually death. In a pilot study, I found many Somali women to be vitamin D deficient and very weak. LÄS MER
9. The Internet of Things: Projects-Places-Policies
Sammanfattning : The ongoing transition from the Internet age to the Internet of Things age is a paradigm shift of knowledge production and interactions: information and knowledge can be produced and disseminated either without or with very little human interventions. Non-human actors are given cognitive abilities, thus joining with humans to become the producers and carriers of knowledge, especially more tacit type of knowledge. LÄS MER
10. Improving the quality of caesarean section in a low-resource setting : An intervention by criteria-based audit at a tertiary hospital, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Sammanfattning : A sharp increase in caesarean section (CS) rates at the Muhimbili National Referral Hospital (MNH) – a tertiary referral hospital in Tanzania – by 50% in 2000–2011, was associated with concomitant increase in maternal complications and deaths and inconsistent improvement in newborn outcomes. The aims of this thesis were to explore care providers’ in-depth perspective of the reasons for these high rates of CS, and to evaluate and improve standards of care for the most common indica-tions of CS, obstructed labour and fetal distress, which are also major causes of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
