Objective. To psychometrically evaluate the Swedish translations of the short forms of the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7), Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) and Pelvic organ prolapse/Urinary incontinence Sexual questionnaire (PISQ-12). Design and setting. University hospital. Sample. Forty-four patients awaiting prolapse surgery. Methods. The dual panel translation method follo

The paper deals with the Cauchy problem for the linear constant-coefficient strongly hyperbolic system $u_t+Au_x=({1}/{delta})B$. The critical case where $B$ has a nontrivial nullspace is investigated. Under suitable assumptions on the matrices $A$ and $B$ the convergence in $L_2$ as $delta o 0$ of the solution $u(·,t,delta)$ of the Cauchy problem is proved. Then the evolution of the limit funct

Air quality standards are set to protect public health. The values of the standards are often based on health effect studies, without any statistical considerations. In order to judge if a standard is met measurements of ambient air quality are taken at monitoring stations, and these measured values are used to decide whether or not the standard has been violated. In this paper we examine the stat

Popular Abstract in Swedish De flesta av Sveriges cirka 15000 större broar är byggda i betong. Ett problem som kan uppkomma i betongbroar är sprickor, vilka kan bidra till att minska broarnas beständighet och säkerhet. I en del broar har fler sprickor uppkommit på sydsidan än på nordsidan vilket antyder att solen har stor påverkan på dessa broar, eftersom det är den enda faktor som skiljer sig väsWhen the temperature changes in the environment the temperature will also change in a structure. Complex interactions of climate factors affect the temperature changes. When the temperature is varied in a material it will expand or contract, and movements will be produced. If the movements are prevented, stresses may be induced which can contribute to cracks in the structure. Severe cracks have be

Inpatient withdrawal treatment (detoxification) is common in opioid dependence, although dropout against medical advice often limits its outcome. This study aimed to assess baseline predictors of dropout from inpatient opioid detoxification with buprenorphine, including age, gender, current substance use, and type of postdetoxification planning. A retrospective hospital chart review was carried ou

Using delayed-coincidence techniques we have measured the natural radiative lifetimes of several S and D states in Rb and Cs. The states were excited by a pulsed dye laser from the first P state, populated using an rf discharge lamp.

Between knowledge and nonsense – the mysterious churches of Bornholm: A critical discussion of two books by Erling Haagensen, where he postulate a sacred geometry on Bornholm and a treasure hidden by the Templars in the round church of Österlars – or somewhere else.

Abstract in UndeterminedComplex stimuli and tasks elicit particular eye movement sequences. Previous research has focused on comparing between these scanpaths, particularly in memory and imagery research where it has been proposed that observers reproduce their eye movements when recognizing or imagining a stimulus. However, it is not clear whether scanpath similarity is related to memory performa

Risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) transmission during laser vaporisation of genital warts or loop electrode excision procedure is controversial. An oral rinse, a nasal swabs, history of HPV-related diseases and data on HPV exposure were collected from 287 employees at departments of dermato-venerology and gynaecology in Denmark. A mucosal HPV type was found among 5.8% of employees with experience

BACKGROUND: The importance of voltage-dependent conductances in sensory information processing is well-established in insect photoreceptors. Here we present the characterization of electrical properties in photoreceptors of the cockroach (Periplaneta americana), a nocturnal insect with a visual system adapted for dim light. RESULTS: Whole-cell patch-clamped photoreceptors had high capacitances and

Many insects use the pattern of polarized light in the sky for spatial orientation and navigation. We have investigated the polarization vision system in the desert locust. To create a common platform for anatomical studies on polarization vision pathways, Kurylas et al. (2008) have generated a three-dimensional (3D) standard brain from confocal microscopy image stacks of 10 male brains, using two

Why has multilateral cooperation developed in the intelligence field? Prior research has deemed such cooperation unlikely, irrelevant or even dangerous due to low gains and high risks. However, multilateral intelligence cooperation both exists and seems to be on the increase. This study aims to explain this puzzling development. Drawing on institutional theory, the author advances a model of inter
