Background: In the recent decade, dietary pattern assessment has evolved as a promising tool to describe the whole diet and represent inter-correlations between different dietary components. We aimed to derive the dietary patterns of adolescents (10–19 years) using cluster analysis on food groups and evaluate these patterns according to their socio-demographic profile. Methods: This community-base

Research on the early 20th century European and American reception of yoga ha­ve revealed the significance of esoteric movements like the Theosophical Societyin creating the modern, global phenomenon of yoga. Alongside interpretations ofyoga as primarily a form of meditation which were common in the literature and,sometimes practice, of movements like Theosophy or Thelema there exist anotherphenom

Prior research indicates that high negative emotionality in combination with low peer status is conducive of clinically identified problems in childhood. This three-wave longitudinal study examined how negative emotionality and peer status are linked over time in middle and late childhood. Participants were recruited from second grade (n = 90, mean age = 8.85) and fourth grade (n = 119, mean age =

Background: Although housing accessibility is associated with important health outcomes in other populations, few studies have addressed this in a Parkinson’s disease population. Aim: To determine the most severe environmental barriers in terms of housing accessibility problems and how these evolved over 3 years among people with Parkinson’s disease. Material and Methods: 138 participants were inc

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to assess the stratification ability of the Fracture and Mortality Risk Evaluation (FAME) index for reoperation, new fragility fracture, and mortality during one-year follow-up. Patients and methods: Between November 2018 and July 2019, a total of 94 consecutive hip fragility fracture patients from two centers (20 males, 74 females; mean age: 79.3±8.9 years; ran

This paper argues that the leading radical political movement in Sweden around the year 1870, whose demands included expanding the franchise, female emancipation, religious freedom, universal conscription, and abolishment of land taxes, has been partly misconstrued and misunderstood in earlier scholarship, which has characterized the New Liberals rather vaguely as ‘liberal’, ‘radical’ or ‘democrat

We use a fused high resolution Lidar and hyperspectral dataset to produce gridded parameter maps that are used as input into land surface models (LSMs). The maps contain stand structural information (e.g. leaf area index) derived from lidar data and information derived from reflectance data (e.g. chlorophyll concentration). Ground based leaf level measurements (e.g. maximum rate of carboxilation a

While foreign pundits have alternatively blamed and praised the Chinese government’s handling of the COVID-19 virus, little is known about how citizens within China understand this performance. This article considers how satisfied Chinese citizens are with their government’s performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. It first considers the impact of authoritarian control, political culture, and/or

Sweden’s Art and Music Schools (SAMS) have assumed some responsibility for facilitating refugee children’s social inclusion. This article investigates how the inclusion of refugee children in SAMS is introduced by leaders as well as how the theme is constructed and addressed as a topic in policy documents (related to the national policy process for SAMS). Two data sets constitute the empirical bas

Background: Transrectal prostate biopsy (TRbx) carries an increasing risk of infection. The Forsvall Needle Prototype (FNP) is a novel biopsy needle that reduces bacterial load brought across the rectum and may therefore reduce infection risk. The objective of this study was to compare biopsy length, quality and patient experience for the FNP Version 2 (FNP2) versus a standard Tru-Cut needle. Meth

This paper is centered around using poetic-mythological vocabulary from Northwest Semitic languages as a key to reconstruction of IE phraseology. Mythological material from the NWS area – especially Ugaritic – can sometimes be shown to represent Indo-European borrowings into NWS poetic language; by studying these cases, knowledge may be gleaned about the loan-giver.The famous phrase *egwhent ogwhi
