OBJECTIVE: Determine whether there is a relationship between the number of different lower-limb resistance exercises prescribed in a program and outcomes for people with knee osteoarthritis.METHODS: Systematic review with meta-regression. We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, and Embase up to 4th January 2024. We included randomised controlled trials th

BACKGROUND: Healthy lifestyle habits (regular physical activity, a healthy diet, no smoking and non-hazardous alcohol consumption) alongside pharmacological treatment can lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases and improve symptoms and quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, healthcare professionals in rheumatology care are urged to discuss lifestyle habits with al

In this presentation the theatre maker Erik Pold will discuss the effect of simultaneity and group-dynamics created in the sound event Parklife. The event took place physically in two Copenhagen parks in august 2023, where audiences meet at designated locations, bringing their smartphones and headphones. The overall concept could be described as a form of audiowalk that primarily consisted of inst

A small Mesolithic campsite near Sammakko in northernmost Sweden has been identified through its abundance of burnt bone and quartz refuse from stone tool manufacturing/ maintenance. Radiocarbon dating places hunter-gatherer activity here around 8900 years ago, 1800 years later than the oldest known settlement in Norrbotten, the Aareavaara site. Sediment stratigraphy in nearby lake basins suggests

The 494 km long Latvian coast consists of sandy sediments, which serve as an excellent proxy for past coastal events and environment. Our study explores these understudied sediments along the western coast of the Gulf of Riga and combines two sand quartz-wise methods: optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating and grain microtextures. We provide a new chronology and microsedimentary results to

This study considers perceptions of group teaching among classical instrumental music teachers in Swedish art and music schools. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using a survey of music teachers in a region of Sweden and analysed using a mixed methods approach. Communities of practice and communities of musical practice served as the theoretical framework for both the deductive and

Questions about the existence and temporality of intention in jazz improvisation are investigated based on phenomenological interviews with 48 expert jazz improvisers: Do improvisers intend that which they will play, and, if so, are their conception and execution of a musical idea coincident, or are they separated in time? The findings on improvisatory cognition are summarized and discussed by mea

This article considers state estimation of rigid-body dynamics where the positions q are available to measurement but where the angular velocities ̇or accelerations are not available to measurement. Using a stability-oriented approach to model-based design of state estimation for Euler–Lagrange systems and rigid-body dynamics, state estimation based on position measurement is shown to guarantee se

Background: Long-term recovery following critical COVID-19 has not been sufficiently studied. Objective: The primary objective was to describe changes in functional outcome and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) between 3 and 12 months in critically ill COVID-19 survivors. The secondary objective was to investigate factors associated with good functional outcome and HRQoL at 12 months. Methods

Fire retardants are extensively used to reduce the flammability (combustibility) of wood–based construction materials in an effort to improve fire safety of buildings. However, little is known of the composition and potential risks to human health of smoke emissions produced from combustion of fire retardant treated wood. To help understand the risk to human health, fire smoke emissions produced f

Almost 20 years ago, the Swedish civil contingency agency (MSB) representatives published a general advice on fire protection at camping facilities. Within this document there contains advice on what distances are needed between camping units to reduce the risk of fire spreading between them, however how these distances were decided on is lost to history and given the changes and development in ca

Reuse and recycling were important, but often forgotten, parts of managing the preindustrial fashionable wardrobe. Through researching diaries and extant garments from Swedish collections, the sources reveal everyday textile practices of costly textiles, mending, turning, altering, using old fabric or garments for new, change of parts or color, and reuse of textile material for new fabrics.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer, which is the most prevalent form of cancer among women globally, encompasses various subtypes that demand distinct treatment approaches. The tumor microenvironment and immune response are of crucial significance in the development and progression of breast cancer. Nevertheless, there has been scant evidence concerning the genes within breast cancer - specific immune cell

Natural and technological networks exhibit dynamics that can lead to complex cooperative behaviors, such as synchronization in coupled oscillators and rhythmic activity in neuronal networks. Understanding these collective dynamics is crucial for deciphering a range of phenomena from brain activity to power grid stability. Recent interest in co-evolutionary networks has highlighted the intricate in

This chapter is a dialogue between practice and theory and between humanand non-human companions about what listening with costume might imply.Whereas hearing is the passive process of perceiving sound through our ears,listening requires attention, understanding and interpretation. It is an active skillthat involves knowledge, memory and our imagination and it may call upon ourother senses. Moreov

This conference presentation address research processes that discusses materiality of artistic practice and its implications. Taking point of departure in the making of a physical artefact, the proposal considers the interplay between making and thinking, encompassing both the human and the non-human, resulting in co-constructed knowledge and meaning through performative and textile practices.
