- The Discovery of Helicobacter pylori in 1982 increased interest in the range of other spiral bacteria that had been seen in Stomach.The power of technologies such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with genus specific primers revealed that many of these bacteria belong to the genus Helicobacter. These non-pylori helicobacters are increasingly being found in human clinical specimens. Non-pylori Helicobacters are Gram-negative, motile, long, tightly coiled, Spiral bacteria ,with three to eight coils, that cause of some gastric problems like gastritis, peptic ulceration and Mcosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) lynphoma in animals and humans. Samples taken during endoscopy were analyzed by rapid urease test, PCR and light microscope(Giemsa and Gram staining). In this study 810 biopsy samples from 270 patients with gastric disorders were collected. Presence of Helicobacters confirmed by a positive urease test and Helicobacter genus specific PCR method utilized. DNA was prepared from biopsies using the Qiamp tissue kit (QIAGEN Inc., Valencia, Calif.) and frozen at -20°C (like gastric samples/biopsies). DNA samples were amplified with 16SrRNA gene primers against Helicobacter species. In gastric biopsy specimen's non-pylori helicobacter spp., have been observed. At the end of the study we found that 71% of urease tests, 0.37% of light microscopic studies (we observed some spiral gram negative bacteria with 2-7 coils) and 0.74% of PCR tests were positive. In analysis with PCR route 2 person (both of them were Male) were infected with H.heilmannii-like organisms( one of them kept a dog for 5 years as a pet).16S rRNA gene amplification was performed on 270 DNA samples and results were positive for H.heilmannii in two cases (275-bp), but negative for H.bizzozeronnii,H.felis and H. Salmonis

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the risk factors and the prevalence of WMSDs disorders using QEC and Body Map techniques in operational units took a gas refineries and its Meta-Reflection.Method and Material: This case study assessed 254 operators in three distinct phases. First, 72 workstation posture was evaluated by using of QEC. Secondly was intended for employees of WMSDs were assessed using by Body Map. After conducting interview with relevant directors, the effectiveness of such studies has been analyzed through Meta-Reflection.Results: Based on results came from QEC survey, the operators’ average scores was %53/8. Moreover, results of Body Map assessment showed that the highest organs of WMSDs were back and knee extrusions (47% and 46% respectively). Also, lack of ergonomics policy and plan within refinery has demonstrated by interviews. Meta-Reflection, on the other hand, showed that because of incomplete learning cycles in the mentioned surveys which only provide WMSDs’ status, workstations’ ergonomics condition, and introduce expert based solutions. Thus, such surveys not only have incomplete study plan, but also have less impact on improving overall health, safety and ergonomics within this organization.Conclusion: This research proves that non-ergonomic conditions result in awkward postures and subsequent physical disorders. Overall, this study has showed a gap from this kind of the work on the learning cycles at organizational levels, a trend should be considered to interactive research work on the workplaces with improved and promoted system ergonomics attitude.

Dietary diversity and its relation with health among the older population in Thailand
- 2023

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The role of dietary diversity (DD) in the health status among older people has been recognised. However, the evidence from lower-and-middle-income countries is scarce. The aim of this thesis was to explore the food choice, and dietary diversity, the associated factors and the health consequences of low dietary diversity among older people in Thailand.Study I was a qualitative study, using focus group discussions and individual interviews of people aged 60 years and older informal caregivers in Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand. A deductive thematic analysis approach was used. Studies II–IV acquired the data from the fifth Thai National Health Examination Survey, which was conducted between 2013 to 2015. Dietary diversity score (DDS) comprised eight food groups, including grains, white roots and tubers; pulse and beans, nuts and seeds; dairy products; meat, poultry, or fish; eggs; vegetables; fruits; and fats and oils. Socio-demographic characteristics included age, sex, educational level, wealth index, place of residence and living arrangement. The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) was determined using the Thai CV risk score. The cardiometabolic risk factors included hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM) and lipid profiles. The mortality data was extracted from the Vital Statistics System in 2021. The data analyses used linear, logistic and proportional hazard regressions, which were adjusted for the complex survey design. We found that older people’s food choices relied on several factors, including health, social factors, the food environment and the economic factors. Regarding DD, a higher educational level, a higher wealth index and living in an urban area had a positive association, whereas living alone had a negative association with DDS. Regarding health, DDS had a negative association with log-Thai CV risk score, hypertension, DM and log-TG levels, whereas DDS was positively associated with TC and LDL-C levels. Additionally, DDS was inversely associated with mortality. The association between DDS and mortality was stronger in people aged 70 years and older. Finally, there was an inverse association between DDS and mortality in the underweight subgroup, while there was a positive association between DDS and mortality in the overweight and obesity sub-groups.In conclusion, this thesis showed the associations between DD and several socio-demographic factors and health outcomes. However, the effect of DD on mortality varied, depending on the individual’s age and BMI. Thus, the nutritional policies aimed at improving DD should be focused on the specific target groups to reduce mortality.

- In power microelectronics, the trends towards miniaturization and higher performances result in higher power densities and more heat to be dissipated. In most electronic assembly, thermal interface materials (TIM) help provide a path for heat dissipation but still represent a bottleneck in the total thermal resistance of the system. VA-CNTs mats are typically grown on HR silicon substrate with Al2O3 diffusion barrier layer using Thermal CVD process. In many cases, 'die attach' thermal interface materials need to be electrically conductive and the growth of dense VA-CNT mats on an electrically conductive substrate remains a challenge. This paper presents the growth of dense VA-CNT mats on doped silicon with Al2O3 and TiN diffusion barrier layer. Processes, thermal and electrical characterization of VA-CNTs based thermal interface materials are studied and reported.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Thermal interface material (TIM) is a critical component in thermal management of high density packaging systems since both the reliability and lifetime of microsystems are dependent on how the heat is dissipated. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising candidate for development of TIMs due to their excellent thermal and mechanical properties. The thermal conductivity of CNTs can be up to 3000 W/mK in the longitudinal direction which acts as ideal heat transfer path. However, the huge interfacial thermal resistance between CNTs and contact surface hinders the exploitation of CNTs as TIMs. In this paper, we will focus on the growth of CNTs on various substrates and underlayers and analyze the interaction between catalyst and underlayer materials. Microscopic analysis is performed to characterize the quality of the CNT materials and monitor the diffusion of Fe particles into different barrier layers. Thermal conductivity of the CNT TIMs will be measured to examine the performance of the materials.
