Return to Sport after Hip Arthroscopy. Perspectives on a journey with many destinations.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome is often treated with hip arthroscopy (HA) with the goal of enabling return to sport. While the number of HAs has been rising, little is known about the rehabilitation process or about outcomes related to return to sport (RTS) following the procedure. The overarching aim of this thesis wasto describe the rehabilitation process following HA in Scandinavia

Industrious migrants: gender and the earnings of migrants in Swedish manufacturing around 1900

Migration played a central role in industrialisation by reallocating labour from the countryside to urban areas and centres of manufacturing where it was in high demand, and better remunerated, with implications for economic growth and individual well-being. We investigate the labour market performance of internal migrants in Sweden around the turn of the last century; a period of industrialisatio

The role of private health facilities in the provision of malaria case management and prevention services in four zones of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

Little is known about the contribution of the private health sector in managing malaria cases and contributing to malaria prevention and control efforts in Ethiopia. We assessed 102 private health facilities and 92 drug outlets in 20 districts of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia, for their provision of malaria-specific services. Of the assessed health facilities 86% provided such services. Diagnosi

Wear mechanisms of PcBN tools when machining AISI 316L

This paper investigates the machinability of AISI 316L stainless steel without and with NMI treatment, when machined with three different PcBN tool grades: low cBN content (50% vol.), medium (65% vol.) and high (90% vol.). The NMI treatment consisted of resulfurized and Ca-treated steels with two different Si/Al ratio. The tool materials were evaluated in terms of tool life, showing the best perfo

Acceptability of a digital return-to-work intervention for common mental disorders : a qualitative study on service user perspectives

Background: There is an evident discrepancy between need and provision of evidence-based return-to-work (RTW) interventions in existing mental health services. Online dissemination of evidence-based interventions is presumed to reduce this gap. However, there is almost no knowledge available on perceived acceptability of digital RTW interventions among service users, which are factors that might i

A search for the decays of stopped long-lived particles at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search for long-lived particles, which have come to rest within the ATLAS detector, is presented. The subsequent decays of these particles can produce high-momentum jets, resulting in large out-of-time energy deposits in the ATLAS calorimeters. These de- cays are detected using data collected during periods in the LHC bunch structure when collisions are absent. The analysed dataset is composed o

Is it a revolution or a coup? : Scandinavian media representations of the ousting of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy

In the summer of 2013, millions of Egyptians returned to Tahrir square in Cairo to demand the resignation of the country’s first democratically elected president. This article examines the two key terms mainly used to describe the ousting of President Mohamed Morsy, ‘coup’ and ‘revolution’, and how these terms can be understood as arguments for two different interpretations of the event. Particula

The value of external reviews in the secondary green bond market

In the green bond market, bond issuers can obtain various types of external reviews to validate their green claims. This paper examines the impact of external reviews in the form of verification, second party opinion (SPO), and green bond rating on the yield spread between a green bond and a paired conventional bond in the secondary green bond market. We perform coarsened exact matching, followed

Radiometric correction of multispectral uas images : Evaluating the accuracy of the parrot sequoia camera and sunshine sensor

Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) carrying commercially sold multispectral sensors equipped with a sunshine sensor, such as Parrot Sequoia, enable mapping of vegetation at high spatial resolution with a large degree of flexibility in planning data collection. It is, however, a challenge to perform radiometric correction of the images to create reflectance maps (orthomosaics with surface reflectance) a

High efficient ethanol production from corn stover by modified mild alkaline pretreatment

Sodium carbonate pretreatment, an environmentally-friendly and efficient pretreatment, was used to improve solid-state ethanol production from corn stover (CS). To further enhance ethanol yield from the pretreated CS, especially at low enzyme loadings, a combined pretreatment, including steam and sodium carbonate pretreatments, was developed. The removal/modification of lignin by sodium carbonate

Methodology for developing reduced reaction mechanisms, and their use in combustion simulations

Combustion, present in a vast majority of energy and material production as well as in transportation, represents a foundation of our modern society. To improve and optimize the applications relying on combustion demand a high level of knowledge, and an ability to simulate the combustion process. To do so three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) combustion simulations can be used, whereCombustion, present in a vast majority of energy and material production as well as in transportation, represents a foundation of our modern society.

This report describes a system model for assessing and updating the condition state and reliability of bridge structures utilizing inspection and monitoring data. The system model was developed on the basis of an existing continuous single-cell prestressed concrete box girder. The system model consists of two integrated sub-models: a condition model for predicting the deterioration state of the bo

A 20-GHz Bandwidth Power Amplifier for Phased Array 5G New Radio Transmitters

A 27-47-GHz differential cascode power amplifier for millimeter-wave 5G new radio applications is presented. The PA is a three-stage design using inductively coupled impedance transformers with 31-dB nominal power gain. A device periphery ratio of 1:2:6 is adopted for predriver, driver, and final stage, respectively. A gain equalization technique was used in the interstage transformers to obtain t
