Physical therapists as first-line diagnosticians for traumatic acute rotator cuff tears : a prospective study

Background: Early diagnosis of traumatic acute full-thickness rotator cuff tears (FTRCT) is important to offer early surgical repair. Late repairs following fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff muscles have less favorable results. We think that physical therapists are valuable diagnosticians in a screening process. The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of physical therapists

Effects of Different Type of Gasoline Fuels on Heavy Duty Partially Premixed Combustion

The effects of fuel properties on the performance and emissions of an engine running in partially premixed combustion mode were investigated using nine test fuels developed in the gasoline boiling point range. The fuels covered a broad range of ignition quality and fuel chemistry.The fuels were characterized by performing a load sweep between 1 and 12 bar gross IMEP at 1000 and 1300 rpm. A heavy d

Using Hythane as a Fuel in a 6-Cylinder Stoichiometric Natural-gas Engine

Combination of right EGR rates with turbocharging has been identified as a promising way to increase the maximum load and efficiency of heavy duty spark-ignited natural gas engines. With stoichiometric conditions a three way catalyst can be used which means that regulated emissions can be kept at very low levels. However dilution limit is limited in these types of engines because of the lower burnCombination of right EGR rates with turbocharging has been identified as a promising way to increase the maximum load and efficiency of heavy duty spark-ignited natural gas engines.

Engaging Students using GitHub as a Learning Management System

Student engagement is an important factor when it comes to the learning process. Students who do not feel engaged in their studies risk surface learning, are more likely to fail their exams and might even drop out of their education. The teaching community has tried different methods in order to increase student engagement. One of them is the Contributing Student Pedagogy (CSP), where students con

Learning to let go – the Charter of Fundamental Rights after Brexit

The UK Government’s proposal that the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU (the Charter) will not be converted into UK law following Brexit (clause 5(4) of the EU Withdrawal Bill) has generated strong reaction from opposition parties. The Labour party has indicated that it considers this to be a ‘red-line’ issue, and that it will not support a bill that does not incorporate the charter into UK

A Fundamental Right to Tax Enforcement? A response to Prof. Capaldo

In a previous entry, Prof. Capaldo criticised the judgment of the Court of Justice of the EU in Taricco II by arguing that there exists, in international law (or what the author calls ‘global law’), a fundamental human right to policies that criminalise tax fraud. According to the author, the Court presented in its judgment a false dichotomy between the need to ensure the effective application of

Intervjustudie om förutsättningar för nollutsläpp i den svenska basindustrin

I denna rapport presenteras resultaten av den intervjustudie och efterföljande fokusgruppsdiskussion som vi genomfört inom ramen för forskningsprojektet Green Industrial Transitions (GIST, www.gist2050.com). Forskningsprojektets huvudsyfte är att studera förutsättningarna för en omställning till nollutsläpp av koldioxid inom den svenska basindustrin samt analysera strategier, åtgärder och styrmede

Body mass index influences the prognostic impact of combined nuclear insulin receptor and estrogen receptor expression in primary breast cancer

The prognostic importance of tumor-specific nuclear insulin receptor (InsR) expression in breast cancer is unclear, while membrane and cytoplasmic localization of InsR is better characterized. The insulin signaling network is influenced by obesity and may interact with the estrogen receptor a (ERα) signaling. The purpose was to investigate the interplay between nuclear InsR, ER, body mass index (B

Resolving the Structure of a Well-Ordered Hydroxyl Overlayer on In2O3(111) : Nanomanipulation and Theory

Changes in chemical and physical properties resulting from water adsorption play an important role in the characterization and performance of device-relevant materials. Studies of model oxides with well-characterized surfaces can provide detailed information that is vital for a general understanding of water-oxide interactions. In this work, we study single crystals of indium oxide, the prototypic

Measurement of detector-corrected observables sensitive to the anomalous production of events with jets and large missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV using the ATLAS detector

Observables sensitive to the anomalous production of events containing hadronic jets and missing momentum in the plane transverse to the proton beams at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. The observables are defined as a ratio of cross sections, for events containing jets and large missing transverse momentum to events containing jets and a pair of charged leptons from the decay of a Z/ γ∗bo

Fire testing of aerosols and propane bottles

Aerosol-And propane bottles for consumers, including hairspray, lubricants, etc. were tested for exposure from fire. The tested bottles had a volume between 15- 400 ml of product mixed with propane and bottles with propane only containing 0.35, 0.45, 5 and 6 kg of propane. The aerosol-And propane bottles were exposed to a heptane pool fire, corresponding to properties of common available flammable

The GARD platform for potency assessment of skin sensitizing chemicals

Contact allergy induced by certain chemicals is a common health concern, and several alternative methods have been developed to fulfill the requirements of European legislation with regard to hazard assessment of potential skin sensitizers. However, validated methods, which provide information about the potency of skin sensitizers, are still lacking. The cell-based assay Genomic Allergen Rapid Det

Automated telephone interventions for problematic alcohol use in clinical and population samples : A randomized controlled trial NCT01958359 NCT

Objective: The primary objective was to evaluate 6-month outcomes for brief and extensive automated telephony interventions targeting problematic alcohol use, in comparison to an assessment-only control group. The secondary objective was to compare levels of problematic alcohol use (hazardous, harmful or probable dependence), gender and age among study participants from clinical psychiatric and ad
