Acetabular dysplasia and the risk of developing hip osteoarthritis at 2,5,8, and 10 years follow-up in a prospective nationwide cohort study (CHECK).

Objective: To assess the relationship between acetabular dysplasia (AD) and the risk of incident and end-stage radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA) over 2,5,8 and 10 years. Design: Individuals (n = 1002) aged between 45 and 65 from the prospective Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee (CHECK) were studied. Anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were obtained at baseline and 2,5,8, and 10-years follow-up. False

The causation of hydrogen embrittlement of duplex stainless steel : Phase instability of the austenite phase and ductile-to-brittle transition of the ferrite phase – Synergy between experiments and modelling

Various mechanisms have been proposed for hydrogen embrittlement of duplex stainless steel, but the causation of hydrogen-induced material degradation has remained unclear. This work shows that phase instability (decomposition) of the austenite phase and ductile-to-brittle transition of the ferrite phase precedes hydrogen embrittlement. In-situ diffraction measurements revealed that Ni-rich sites

Barriärer för sjuksköterskans omvårdnad av patienter med akuta buksmärtor En icke-systematisk litteraturstudie

Bakgrund: Akut buksmärta tillhör de vanligaste orsakerna till att söka vård. Obehandlad akut buksmärta kan leda till fysiska och psykiska komplikationer. Sjuksköterskan har en central roll i att minska lidande. Sjuksköterskans omvårdnad påverkas av olika barriärer. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka barriärer i sjuksköterskans omvårdnad av patienter med akut buksmärta. Metod: Icke-systematisk littera

In vivo evaluation of electron mediators for the reduction of methemoglobin encapsulated in liposomes by using electron energies produced by red blood cell glycolysis

Previous studies clarified that the electron enriched NADH and NADPH by RBC glycolysis could be used in an extracellular chemical reaction, where electron energies are extracted by an electron mediator methylene blue (MB). The reduced form of MB permeates the phospholipid bilayer of liposomes and reduce encapsulated ferric methemoglobin (metHb) to ferrous hemoglobin. Moreover, in vitro screening s

Pain and labor outcomes : A longitudinal study of adults with cerebral palsy in Sweden

BACKGROUND: Pain is a global health concern with substantial societal costs and limits the activity participation of individuals. The prevalence of pain is estimated to be high among individuals with cerebral palsy (CP).OBJECTIVES: To estimate the association between pain and labor outcomes for adults with CP in Sweden.METHODS: A longitudinal cohort study based on data from Swedish population-base

Transportation noise and gestational diabetes mellitus : A nationwide cohort study from Denmark

BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated whether road traffic noise is associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and have yielded inconsistent findings. We aimed to investigate whether maternal exposure to residential transportation noise, before and during pregnancy, was associated with GDM in a nationwide cohort.METHODS: From the Danish population (2004-2017) we identified 629,254 pr

The IPDGC/GP2 Hackathon - an open science event for training in data science, genomics, and collaboration using Parkinson’s disease data

Open science and collaboration are necessary to facilitate the advancement of Parkinson’s disease (PD) research. Hackathons are collaborative events that bring together people with different skill sets and backgrounds to generate resources and creative solutions to problems. These events can be used as training and networking opportunities, thus we coordinated a virtual 3-day hackathon event, duri

Parental smoking and development of allergic sensitization from birth to adolescence

BACKGROUND: The relation between secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure and the development of allergic sensitization in children is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether maternal smoking during pregnancy and postnatal SHS exposure contributes to the development of allergic sensitization in children and adolescents up to 16 years of age.METHODS: We included 3316 children from a

Tobacco smoke exposure in early life and adolescence in relation to lung function

Maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with impaired lung function among young children, but less is known about long-term effects and the impact of adolescents' own smoking. We investigated the influence of maternal smoking during pregnancy, secondhand smoke exposure and adolescent smoking on lung function at age 16 years.The BAMSE (Barn/Child, Allergy, Milieu, Stockholm, Epidemiology) b

Cognitive Challenges for novice Software Development Teams

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to identify the largest cognitive challenges faced by novices, developing software in teams, using distributed cognition as an observational filter.Paradigm: Design science Epistemology: Pragmatist Methodology: Case studyMethod: Using grounded theory, ethnography and multi method data collection, we conducted an observational study for two months following f

Using Financial Tools to Protect the Rule of Law: Internal and External Challenges

This contribution aims to elucidate some problematic aspects of the financial tools (such as the Conditionality Regulation, Recovery and Resilience Facility and other measures), used by the EU to ensure compliance with the rule of law. It draws attention to certain legal conundrums which challenge the functional effectiveness of these tools both within the Union (the internal dimension) and in the

Essays on the effect of health care and the environment on health

This thesis consists of three self-contained papers studying different topics in health economics. The first chapter studies the substitution effect between in-person physician visits and a new type of doctor visits, direct-to-consumer (DCT) telemedicine, where a person can call a doctor directly via an app. To causally assess to which degree DCT consultations substitute for in-person consultation

Anti-Muslim Violence and the Possibility of Justice

This thesis is concerned with the ways in which justice is dispensed in Swedish courts in cases concerning anti-Muslim violence. Based on material accessed through the Swedish National Board for Crime Prevention and classified as Islamophobic hate crimes, the judicial treatment of cases that may involve racism is analysed. An aim is to explore how different laws against racism in the Swedish legal

Herrens år 1401

Herrens år 1401 utspelar sig mellan Nikolaiafton och Luciaafton i december 1401.Det har sedan en längre tid varit lugnt på Gotland, så lugnt att Tyska orden flyttat över många knektar till Preussen, där det har utbrutit krig mot litauerna. Thierry av Liège har fått mer att göra och i praktiken stigit i graderna till att bli fogdens närmaste man, detta samtidigt som en romans håller på att spira me

Wideband RCS reduction based on a simple chessboard metasurface

To avoid being detected by radar, it is necessary to reduce stealthy military platforms' radar cross section (RCS). The operation of overlaying the metasurface (MS) on the targets is a good solution. A simple chessboard MS structure that can achieve low RCS over a large bandwidth is proposed. Only one unit cell is used to construct the MS. First, the unit cell working in 0.5 and 1−λ modes is desig
