Background: Inferior scapular notching is a complication unique to reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The most efficient technique to avoid inferior scapular notching has been reported to be lateralization of the glenoid offset. This study aims to compare radiological and functional outcomes of the DELTA Xtend® Reverse Shoulder System Lateralized Glenosphere Line Extension (intervention group) with th

Objective: The objective of this paper is to describe the initial phase of a long-term collaboration initiative between a municipality and the Faculty of Medicine at a university in Sweden. The overall ambition of the collaboration is to strengthen the quality of care for older people. The concrete goal is to equip academically trained registered health care professionals (HCP) with tools for tran

Air pollution is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Low-emission zones (LEZ) have been increasingly implemented in cities throughout Europe as a measure to reduce the adverse health effects and premature deaths associated with traffic-related air pollution. In the present study, a health impact analysis was conducted to estimate the effect of a hypothetical LEZ on mort

While prenatal exposure to ambient air pollution has been shown to be associated with reduced birth weight, there is substantial heterogeneity across studies, and few epidemiological studies have utilized source-specific exposure data. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to investigate the associations between local, source-specific exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) during pregn

Syftet med denna översiktsartikel är att sätta in matdistribution till personeri fattigdom i ett sammanhang, för att bättre förstå dess betydelse för mottagare,civilsamhällesorganisationer och i förlängningen även välfärdsmodelleni Sverige. Artikeln synliggör en förändring där ett ökat behov av kostnadsfrieller billig mat för fattiga grupper möts av ett ökat utbud av mat distribuerat avcivilsamhälThe purpose of this article is to contextualize food distribution to better understand its significance for poor recipients, civil society organisations, and ultimately also the Swedish welfare model. The article highlights a change wherean increased need for free or cheap food for poor groups is handled by anincreased supply of food waste distributed by civil society organisations, a seemingly id

Leadership plays an important role for innovation (Mumford & Licuanan, 2004). This study investigates the conditions facilitating leadership and leadership behavior by exploring motivational aspects fostering transformational leadership. More specifically, we study the associations of intrinsic and prosocial motivation with transformational leadership among 252 middle managers in the largest n

Research confirms that there are many forms of motivation associated with various organizational outcomes, and that there are various ways in which motivation can be supported. Self-determination theory shows that autonomous motivation is related to many important organizational outcomes and that the support of basic psychological needs helps to develop the motivations even further. However, addit

GRASP (Group and Social Psychology) is an interdisciplinary conference, which aims to provide a community around social psychological issues for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from the Nordic countries within the fields of psychology, sociology, education, behavioural sciences and social work to share, exchange, learn, and develop preliminary results, new concepts, ideas, princi

Idag tar vi växterna för givna. För många människor är de ett bakgrundsbrus, en fond. Hos oss växtintresserade får de lite mer fokus. Vi kan urskilja arterna i den gröna massan av växtlighet och vi oroar oss för deras framtid. I den här artikeln tar tre forskare med oss på en resa genom växternas historia – från första början, genom olika klimat som har gynnat utvecklingen av växtgrupper med olika

In self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) autonomy support describes an interpersonal style where a manager takes the perspective of a subordinate into account, presents rationales for decisions, and provides opportunities for choice (Baard et al., 2004). We have recently shown that autonomy support from peers may be more influential than from supervisors (Jungert et al., 2012). In the

BACKGROUND: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) form a heterogeneous group and may have risk or protective factors for fractures compared with typically developing children. The fracture sites may also differ from those of children who do not have CP. We analyzed the fracture epidemiology in a total population of children with CP.METHODS: This was a retrospective registry study based on data from th

Our previous data-driven analysis of evolving patterns of islet autoantibodies (IAbs) against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA) and islet antigen 2 (IA-2A) discovered three trajectories characterized by either multiple IAbs (TR1), IAA (TR2), or GADA (TR3) as the first appearing autoantibodies. Here we examined the evolution of IAb levels within these trajectories in 2,145 IAb-posit

The implementation of circular initiatives requires certain capabilities and knowledge that traditional business models often lack, requiring new perspectives and external collaborations. While it is understood that partnerships can aid in innovation and provide knowledge and capabilities to firms, the dynamics of collaboration for the transition towards circular business models (CBMs) need to be

Excerpt: "Just like the rest of the population, Swedish Christians remain fundamentally divided in their opinions about the best way to arrange Sweden’s relationship to NATO. But the responses on the part of the churches also seem to hark back to bygone ages. National defense and foreign policy remain, in a country for centuries fundamentally shaped by Lutheran doctrine concerning the division bet
