Rationale: Patients with cancer of the upper gastrointestinal tract or lung are more likely to present with malnutrition at diagnosis than, for instance, patients with melanoma. Low muscle mass is an indicator of malnutrition and can be determined by computed tomography (CT) analysis of the skeletal …

ABSTRACT When designing interventions for health, multidisciplinary teams increasingly work according to an ‘agile’ process. Potential benefits of this approach are better knowledge transfer, stakeholder inclusion, and removal of barriers to interactions. Unfortunately, the question whether agile approaches …

Background & aims: Optimal nutritional support during the acute phase of critical illness remains controversial. We hypothesized that patients with low skeletal muscle area and -density may specifically benefit from early high protein intake. Aim of the present study was to determine the association …

The article highlights the limitations of speed as a framework for discussing and tackling the environmental challenges of growing clothing volumes or quantities. This argument builds on a series of wardrobe studies mapping the number of clothing items owned, purchased, and disposed of by 25 people during …

Communication problems are acknowledged as hazardous eventualities affecting operations negatively. However, a few systematic attempts have been made to understand the pattern of communication issues and their contribution to safety events. In this paper, we present the AVAC-COM communication model and …

Modern safety thinking and models focus more on systemic factors rather than simple cause-effect attributions of unfavourable events on the behaviour of individual system actors. This study concludes previous research during which we had traced practices of new safety thinking practices (NSTPs) in aviation …
