Socioeconomic factors' effect on return to work after first stroke

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this nationwide study was to analyze how functional status and socioeconomic status affect return to work (RTW) among younger patients with first-time stroke in a Sweden.MATERIAL AND METHODS: This register-based cohort study included employed patients aged 25-55 with first-time stroke between 2008 and 2011 and primary outcome was RTW within 1 year after stroke. Data reg

Koldioxidvärdering inom transportsektorn : Reflektioner ur ett statsvetenskapligt perspektiv

Samhällsekonomiska analyser är ett viktigt underlag för beslut i infrastruktur- och transportplaneringen. En av de effekter som värderas i samhällsekonomiska analyser är klimateffekter och för detta krävs att man gör en bedömning av koldioxidvärdet, det vill säga, kostnaden för koldioxidutsläpp, vilket anges i kr/kg CO2. Dock finns det olika sätt att värdera koldioxid och det finns ingen konsensus

Consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and management of patients with classic hairy cell leukemia

Hairy cell leukemia is an uncommon hematologic malignancy characterized by pancytopenia and marked susceptibility to infection. Tremendous progress in the management of patients with this disease has resulted in high response rates and improved survival, yet relapse and an appropriate approach to retreatment present continuing areas for research. The disease and its effective treatment are associa

The Russian daily press, 1978-2003 : political argumentation and the problematic public sphere

The language of newspapers in the public sphere has a crucial impact on how the public perceives and participates in society. It can serve to encourage or counteract active and informed citizens; in fact, it is a crucial element in democratisation processes. The purposes of the present study are to elucidate what means of persuasion are used to support theses on politics in newspaper discours

Model-Based Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC) Timing Control

Partially Premixed combustion (PPC) is a promising combustion concept to achieve high engine efficiency. The combustion-timing of PPC is affected by both inlet-charge condition and the fuel injection, a simple map-based feed-forward control method is not sufficient for controlling the combustion during transient operation. This paper investigates a model-based control method to solve this control

Immature neural tissue grafts in Parkinson's disease

Intracerebral transplantation of immature neural tissue is a promising therapeutical approach that has the potential of restoring damaged neuronal circuitries and reversing functional deficits. The development of the technique as a human application has progressed the furthest in Parkinson's disease (PD), with the demonstration of significant longlasting functional improvements, in combination wit

International Trade and Energy Intensity during European Industrialization, 1870-1935

Previous research suggests that there is an inverted U-shape curve for energy intensity in the long-run for Western Europewith a peak in the early 20th century. This paper tests the hypothesis that the increase of German and British energy intensity was an effect from the concentration of heavy industrial production to these countries, although the consumption of a significant share of these goods

Lock-in of mature innovation systems : The transformation toward clean concrete in the Netherlands

Energy-intensive processing industries like the concrete industry form the base of the economy and account for a large part of global greenhouse gas emissions. Sectoral transformation to cleaner basic materials is therefore crucial, and institutional pressure to do so is increasing. However, socio-technical studies have not sufficiently addressed these sectors. This paper therefore sets out to ana

Understanding the pulse of existence : An examination of capurro’s angeletics

The contribution of Rafael Capurro to the clarification of the uses of the concept of information has a conceptual as well a historical dimension; in this last sense, there are few philosophers of information that can follow the history of the concept of information in the works of the Classics with the accuracy and erudition of Capurro We find that his contribution embraces the following fields:

Engineering Assessment Method for Anchorage in Corroded Reinforced Concrete

There is an increasing need for reliable methods to assess load-carrying capacity and remaining service life of existing infrastructure. Several previous research projects have resulted in a verified, simple 1D model for assessment of anchorage in corroded reinforced concrete structures. Previous verification has involved both experiments and detailed 3D NLFE analyses. To further develop the 1D mo
