I Sverige lever 40-50 procent av befolkningen med långvarig smärta. Smärtan kan påverka personen fysiskt, psykologiskt, samt kulturellt och kan leda till förändring av aktiviteter, minskad aktivitetsgrad och därmed minskad delaktighet i aktivitet. Behandling som finns är bland annat multidisciplinära rehabiliteringsprogram. GAP i vardagens aktiviteter är ett instrument som mäter delaktighet i akti
Det är troligt att vi under 2000-talet kan förvänta oss mer frekvent hög nederbörd vid höga latituder. Hög nederbörd kan belasta spillvattensystemen i samhället genom att nederbördsrelaterat tillskottsvatten läcker in i spillvattenledningar. Detta kan orsaka problem som översvämmade källare, utspädningseffekter i reningsverk och ökade energikostnader för att pumpa spillvatten. Genom att hitta käll
Association for computer aided genealogy research of Sweden(DIS) is investigating the possibility of a nationwide genealogical database (RGD) of Sweden's historical population. The finished database should contain basic information about individuals' names, birth, marriage, death, and individuals' relationships such as father, mother, husband/wife and children. This will make up a kind
My purpose with this essay was to understand the contact persons view of his/her own professional role/identity, and the specific work environment at a correctional facility as an organization. To reach my purpose I answered three questions: how the correctional organization affect the individual contact person and their workmanship seen from a professional perspective, how contact persons find th
This report is the product of my master thesis in technical design with a focus on product development. The project was done in co-operation with Wayne, who produces and sells fuel dispensers and are a part of General Electrics, at their Malmö office in Sweden. For their latest line of fuel dispensers, Helix, they were in need of a system for describing different configurations for the barrier, an
In our meta-study from 2022, “A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality – II,” we find that the effect of lockdowns—also referred to as ‘Covid restrictions,’ ‘social distancing measures,’ etc.—on mortality was negligible. The first version of our meta-study received criticism from Banholzer, et al. (2022). The authors raised “concerns regarding the sub
Recent years have seen profound challenges to democracy, including grave populist and autocratic shifts. In the Opinion, the EGE examines how certain configurations of digital technologies can contribute to a weakening of democratic institutions, even if they may not be its sole cause. Among these are the spread of harmful information, an unduly narrow understanding of privacy, algorithmic surveil
Gastric cancer is a dominating cause of cancer-associated mortality with limited therapeutic options. Here, we show that syndecan-4 (SDC4), a transmembrane proteoglycan, is highly expressed in intestinal subtype gastric tumors and that this signature associates with patient poor survival. Further, we mechanistically demonstrate that SDC4 is a master regulator of gastric cancer cell motility and in
The efficiency with which flying animals convert metabolic power to mechanical power dictates an individual's flight behaviour and energy requirements. Despite the significance of this parameter, we lack empirical data on conversion efficiency for most species as in vivo measurements are notoriously difficult to obtain. Furthermore, conversion efficiency is often assumed to be constant across flig
BACKGROUND: To investigate whether the repeatability of measurements with the Pentacam HR in patients with keratoconus is improved by patients gaining more experience of the measurement situation. Such an improvement could enhance the accuracy with which progressive keratoconus can be detected. METHODS: Four replicate measurements were performed on Day 0 and on Day 3. Parameters commonly used in t
IKZF1 deletions are an established prognostic factor in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, their relevance in patients with good risk genetics, namely ETV6::RUNX1 and high hyperdiploid (HeH), ALL remains unclear. We assessed the prognostic impact of IKZF1 deletions in 939 ETV6::RUNX1 and 968 HeH ALL patients by evaluating data from 16 trials from 9 study groups. Only 3% of ETV6
STUDY QUESTION: How does a history of cancer affect the likelihood of using assisted reproduction in order to achieve paternity? SUMMARY ANSWER: As compared to men with no history of cancer, use of assisted reproduction to achieve paternity was more frequent in fathers with a history of cancer, mainly those with testicular, prostate, and hematological and lymphatic malignancies. WHAT IS KNOWN ALRE
Adaptive flyway management of superabundant geese is emerging as a strategy to reduce damage to agricultural crops and other ecosystem disservices, while also ensuring sustainable use and conservation objectives. Given the calls for intensified hunting as part of flyway management in Europe, we need to increase the understanding of structural, situational, and psychological factors important for g
