Gabriella Engström, at the department of Caring and Public Health Sciences at Mälardalens University, defends her thesis “Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Swedish male population: prevalence, distress and quality of life” on the 8th of September. The thesis is based on a questionnaire answered by all men at the ages 40-80 in Surahammar. The result shows that a forth of the med suffers from some kind of incontinence and that very few seek help. This is despite distress and a worse quality of life caused by incontinence.
Knowledge of these men’s experiences of the symptoms and in what way the symptoms effects their quality of life is crucial for which treatment that should be offered. Gabriella Engström’s thesis hopes to increase the understanding of this.
The public defence of the thesis takes place on Friday the 8th of September in the assembly hall, entrance 21, Central Hospital of Västerås, 13.15.

An AI system has been developed through a project at Mälardalen University (MDU) that can calculate delays and predict hazards and interruptions in aviation. The system will not only be able to assist air traffic controllers to predict and communicate the disruptions to passengers and operators in the aviation industry, but also prevent the actual disruptions.

Small (hybrid) electric planes just like the conceptualized 19-passenger commuter aircraft are about to change regional air travel in the future. The apparent benefits of the commuter aircraft are their fuel efficiency and the fact that they can be employed on routes that are geographically or economically far-fetched, compared to other means of transportation. Moreover, the global scientific and industrial communities are seeing aircraft electrification as one potential solution to reduce gaseous and noise emissions. Researchers at Mälardalen University, Sweden and at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, work together with Limmat Scientific AG, Switzerland in this research project which aim to re-think flight.
