Although it is advocated that end-users are engaged in developing evidence-based injury prevention training to enhance the implementation, this rarely happens. The ‘Implementing injury Prevention training ROutines in TEams and Clubs in youth Team handball (I-PROTECT)’ uses an ecological participatory design incorporating the perspectives of multiple stakeholders throughout the project. Within the

Purpose of this paperCurrent literature on packaging logistics acknowledges trade-offs in supply chains for packed products, but it is less effective in explaining the different characteristics of various trade-offs and the complexity of managing these trade-offs. Grounded in paradox theory, the purpose of this paper is to increase the understanding of the role of packaging (systems) in sustainabl

Finding the probability that a stochastic system stays in a certain region of its state space over a specified time -- a long-standing problem both in computational physics and in applied and theoretical mathematics -- is approached through the extended and multivariate Rice formula. In principle, it applies to any smooth process multivariate both in argument and in value given that efficient numeFinding the probability that a stochastic system stays in a certain region of its state space over a specified time—a long-standing problem both in computational physics and in applied and theoretical mathematics—is approached through the extended and multivariate Rice formula.

Importance: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized SARS-CoV-2 rapid at-home self-test kits for individuals with and without symptoms. How appropriately users interpret and act on the results of at-home COVID-19 self-tests is unknown. Objective: To assess how users of at-home COVID-19 self-test kits interpret and act on results when given instructions authorized by the FDA, instructio

In optic neuritis (ON), transient thickening of the macular retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) can be observed. This optical coherence tomography-based observation is not understood. The axonal diameter correlates with the neurofilament (Nf) protein content, but there are no data on the retinal tissue concentration of Nfs. The myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein (MOG) induced experimental autoimmune

Artificial intelligence through machine learning is increasingly used in the digital society. Solutions based on machine learning bring both great opportunities, thus coined “Software 2.0,” but also great challenges for the engineering community to tackle. Due to the experimental approach used by data scientists when developing machine learning models, agility is an essential characteristic. In th

Although established forms of peer review are often criticized for being slow, secretive, and even unfair, they are repeatedly mentioned by academics as the most important indicator of quality in scholarly publishing. In many countries, the peer review of books is a less codified practice than that of journal articles or conference papers, and the processes and actors involved are far from uniform

Basic and translational research needs rapid methods to test antimicrobial formulations. Bioluminescent bacteria and advanced imaging systems capable of acquiring bioluminescence enable us to quickly and longitudinally evaluate the efficacy of antimicrobials. Conventional approaches, such as radial diffusion and viable count assays, are time-consuming and do not allow for longitudinal analysis. Bi

Introduction: Haemophilia B (HB) is less well studied than haemophilia A (HA); despite similarities between the two inherited bleeding disorders, important differences remain that require further research. Aim: B-Natural is a multi-centre, prospective, observational study of HB, designed to increase understanding of clinical manifestations, treatment, quality-of-life (QoL), inhibitor development,

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the survival of patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) treated by cytoreductive surgery and intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and to identify factors with prognostic value.SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: PMP is a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive intraperitoneal accumulation of mucous and mucinous implants, usually derived from a rup

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a treatment strategy for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) with curative intent. The aim of this study was to determine the patterns of failure in patients who underwent such a procedure and to evaluate management and outcome of progressive disease.METHODS: After exclusion of patients with overt malignancy

Background:The assessment of lower limb volume by circumferential measurements every 4th cm along the limb is common inlymphedema management. In recent years, also measurements of local tissue water by Tissue Dielectric Constant (TDC) of the skinusing a MoistureMeterD have been applied more frequently. There are very few studies assessing the reliability of these methods.Aim of the work: To evalua

PurposeStrategies for industrial packaging selection play an important part to maximise the potential of logistics systems and supply chains’ performance. The purpose of this paper is to gather and analyse the relevant studies for industrial packaging selection, and present an overview of the knowledge on the topic. The paper frames the research in a way that both researchers and industrial practi
