Para athlete concussion care following the Amsterdam 2022 International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport: an urgent need for inclusivity within concussion research

The Amsterdam 2022 International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport (6th International Conference on Concussion in Sport) was the first Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) consensus to consider the para athlete.1 To date, a lack of research in para sport on most aspects of concussion has prevented the development of evidence-informed consensus on any aspects of concussion care for para athlet

Heritage out of Control : Buddhist Material Excess in Contemporary Japan

This article investigates how things given to local temples generate material, karmic, and emotional excess in contemporary Japan. What, how, and why people “store” at local Buddhist temple tell a story of a community and how people’s individual material histories become matters of communal concern and local heritage-making practices. While walking a fine line between memory and decommissioning of

Scandinavian Children “Out-of-Place”? Historical Perspectives on Contested Repatriations of Scandinavian Children Born of War

Children born to enemy soldiers, so-called “children born of war,” are vulnerable to displacement. The contested repatriations of the children of Scandinavian mothers and foreign fighters from Syria in the wake of the fall of the “Islamic state” in March 2019 are point in case. Norway, Denmark, and Sweden at first delayed and then only hesitantly or selectively supported their return – as Norway a

What happens if we put it on-screen? : Exploring students’ perception of and interaction with representations, feedback, and characters in virtual learning environments

Samhällets storskaliga digitalisering har inte bara påverkat människors vardag och yrkesliv, den har också påverkat undervisning och lärande på ett genomgripande plan – inte minst när det gäller det kunskapsbyggande som tar plats i skolor och klassrum, under ledning av lärare. Under de senaste decennierna har pappersbaserat material och laborationsutrustning ersatts av applikationer och digitala vThis thesis is about learning. It is about how younger students (6–12 years old) usethings on-screen (representations, feedback, or virtual characters) and how they handle digitalised learning environments. I have explored this subject using many perspectives and theories, not only focusing on handheld tools and physical or virtual materials, but also on the social interactions behind the screens,

Contact person intervention in Nordic countries: A comparative integrative review

In Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark, the contact person intervention (CPI) is declared for children and youth in national legislation. The CPI is based on a relationship between the child and a volunteer adult who provides support to the child in need in different life situations. In this review, we summarise how the CPI within child welfare services has been studied and defined in four Nordic

A PSA SNP associates with cellular function and clinical outcome in men with prostate cancer

Genetic variation at the 19q13.3 KLK locus is linked with prostate cancer susceptibility in men. The non-synonymous KLK3 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs17632542 (c.536 T > C; Ile163Thr-substitution in PSA) is associated with reduced prostate cancer risk, however, the functional relevance is unknown. Here, we identify that the SNP variant-induced change in PSA biochemical activity mediates

Topological material in the III--V family : Heteroepitaxial InBi on InAs

InBi(0 0 1) is formed epitaxially on InAs(1 1 1)-A by depositing Bi onto an In-rich surface. Angle-resolved photoemission measurements reveal topological electronic surface states, close to the M high symmetry point. This demonstrates a heteroepitaxial system entirely in the III–V family with topological electronic properties. InBi shows coexistence of Bi and In surface terminations, in contradict

Evolution of correlated electron behavior from the surface to the bulk in SrxCa1-xVO3

We present a detailed depth-sensitive study of the evolution in correlated electron behavior from the surface of the prototypical correlated oxide, SrxCa1-xVO3, to its bulk. Photoemission measurements of varying surface sensitivity are employed to directly compare both the spectral weight and energetics of the correlated electron features, and resonant soft x-ray emission spectroscopy is used as a

Post-Growth Annealing of (Ga, Mn)As under Sb Capping

(Ga,Mn)As is a model diluted ferromagnet system in which the atomic spins of Mn ions are ferromagnetically arranged due to the exchange interaction with valence band holes. An important tecchnological concern regarding this system has been approaches that might result in reduction of the density of Mn interstitial and increase in the content of Mn in order to make the system practically feasible.

The relationship between preoperative sleep disturbance and acute postoperative pain control : A systematic review and meta-analysis

Poor preoperative sleep quality and impaired sleep continuity may heighten acute postoperative pain intensity and increase analgesic consumption, with negative implications for recovery, mental and physical health. The main objective of the current review was to investigate the relationship between preoperative sleep disturbance and acute postoperative pain control. Four electronic databases were

On the Distance to Infeasibility in DC Power Grids with Constant-Power Loads

This paper is concerned with the feasibility of the power flow in DC power grids with constant power loads. We introduce the notion of distance to infeasibility as a voltage stability index and robustness measure for power flow feasibility. In particular, we study the p-norm distance to infeasibility in the domain of the constant power loads, and show how this distance may be expressed as a mathem

Radiation Doses Received by Major Organs at Risk in Children and Young Adolescents Treated for Cancer with External Beam Radiation Therapy : A Large-scale Study from 12 European Countries

Purpose: Childhood cancer survivors, in particular those treated with radiation therapy, are at high risk of long-term iatrogenic events. The prediction of risk of such events is mainly based on the knowledge of the radiation dose received to healthy organs and tissues during treatment of childhood cancer diagnosed decades ago. We aimed to set up a standardized organ dose table to help former pati
