BACKGROUND: To investigate the correlation between various orthopedic conditions and overweight/obesity at the Department of Orthopedics, Malmö University Hospital Sweden. Obesity is associated with numerous major medical conditions. Although the relationship between gonarthrosis and osteoarthritis and body mass index (BMI) is well recognized, other orthopedic conditions have been less well studie

Anaesthesia with closed anaesthetic systems demands knowledge of the physiology of the patients and of how the various anaesthetic gases behave in the organism as only the gases which the patients produces and absorbs are eliminated and replaced. The system is educational as it provides knowledge of the genuine absorption of oxygen and anaesthetic gases. The method is favourable to the environment

Utländska offentliga pensionsinstitut som får utdelningar från svenska företag beskattas i Sverige med kupongskatt på upp till 30 procent av utdelningens bruttobelopp. De inhemska motsvarigheterna, AP-fonderna, är statliga myndigheter och omfattas av statens skattebefrielse enligt inkomstskattelagen. Denna skillnad i beskattning av utdelningar har gett upphov till ett fördragsbrottsärende mot SverForeign public pension funds receiving dividends from Swedish companies are in Sweden subject to withholding tax of up to 30 percent of the gross amount of the dividends. The domestic equivalents, the Swedish governmental pension funds, the AP-funds, are exempt from income tax as they are a part of the Swedish state. This difference in taxation has given rise to infringement proceedings against Sw

En av EU:s grundläggande principer är den fria rörligheten för personer som även ska gälla för familjemedlemmar. Då varje medlemsstats familjerättsliga lagreglering omfattas av begreppet skydd för den nationella identiteten, befinner sig området utanför EU:s lagstiftningskompetens. Harmonisering av medlemsstaternas nationella lagstiftningar i frågan är därför inte aktuellt då det medför en begränsFree movement of persons is one of the fundamental principles of the EU, which also applies to members of the family. The family law is governed nationally to preserve the national identity; therefore, it is outside of EU’s legislative competence. The harmonisation of the national legislation in question, therefore, is not appropriate as it implies a limitation on a state’s national identity. The

This thesis explores the rationality, completeness and functioning of Safety Management Systems (SMS) amongst micro- and small-sized air operators in business aviation. In the absence of thorough literature in this sector of aviation, a survey of prior research on OHS(MS) and on non-aviation micro/small enterprises (MSE) provided a collection of factors contributing to their safety performance. Us

An agonistic approach to ethnography illuminates the complexities of researching in Palestine, where violent Israeli border regimes create pro- found socio-political divides. This framework highlights the methodological challenges and the transformative potential of ethnographic inquiry in contentious environments.

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are increasingly seeing use in breast imaging, particularly to assist in or automate the reading of mammograms. Another novel technique is mechanical imaging (MI) which estimates the relative stiffness of suspicious breast abnormalities by measuring the distribution of pressure on the compressed breast. This study investigates the feasibility of combining

Acquisition of irregular verb forms in L2 French: does the L1 of the learners explain the difference ? This study explores L1 effects on the production of subject-verb agreement in number (singular vs. plural) in L2 French. L1 influence has rarely been explored in detail in this context, especially compared to other factors such as input frequency of specific verb forms, singular vs plural entitie
