This non-randomized prospective controlled study evaluates a daily school-based exercise intervention program of 40 min/school day for I year in a population-based cohort of 81 boys aged 7-9 years. Controls were 57 age-matched boys assigned to the general school curriculum of 60min/ week. Bone mineral content BMC; g) and areal bone mineral density (aBMD; g/cm(2)) were measured with dual X-ray abso
Objective: To evaluate meat intake patterns in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohorts. Design and setting: 24-Hour dietary recalls were assessed within the framework of a prospective cohort study in 27 centres across 10 European countries by means of standardised computer-assisted interviews. Subjects: In total, 22 924 women and 13 031 men aged 35-74 years.
Bakgrund Handboll innehåller mycket kroppskontakt och riktningsförändringar i hög hastighet och med stora krafter. Baserat på sportens utformning är axelskador vanligt förekommande, både i form av akuta skador till följd av att spelare blir dragna i armen eller landar på armen, och överbelastningsskador från upprepade skott och passningar. Syftet med studien var att kartlägga och jämföra förekomst
Syftet med detta uppdrag har varit att utvärdera hur data på vinterförluster hos honungsbin i Sverige samlas in och analyseras, samt ge förslag på förbättringarav övervakning och analys.Denna rapport innehåller• En sammanställning av faktorer som kan påverka vinterförluster hos honungsbin under svenska förhållanden• En beskrivning av nuvarande sätt att rapportera och analysera vinterförluster i SvThis report evaluates current collection and use of data on winter loss in honey bees in Sweden and is a commission from the Swedish Professional BeekepersAssociation. It includes an overview of factors which may influence winter loss in honey bees in Sweden. In Sweden, data on winter loss is collected by twoinstances, the COLOSS survey and the Swedish Beekeepers Association (SBR). We identify sev
Interfacial structures on the nanoscale are crucial for a wide field of applications ranging from biological membranes in life sciences through organic solar cells and industrial coatings in soft matter to hard matter structures. The latter include thin film coatings and materials such as magnetic nanoparticles and topological structures like magnetic skyrmions. Advancing such application rests on
A major challenge hampering the industrial and biological exploitation of lipases is the self-limiting effect of the lipolytic reaction. Defying sustained attention throughout history, the influence of lipase catalysed lipolysis on the internal structure of thin triglyceride films has proved elusive. An in-depth understanding of the lipolysis process at the triglycerides/aqueous interface will ass
Groundwater stored in alluvial fan aquifers represents a key water resource in semi-arid mountainous regions, yet groundwater recharge mechanisms and flow dynamics remain poorly understood, particularly in data-scarce regions experiencing increasing water demand and anthropogenic pressure. This study investigates groundwater recharge processes and flow patterns in three adjacent watersheds of the
The structure and function of many proteins are regulated post-translationally through glycan attachment. These glycans, assembled via competing enzymatic reactions, generate diverse glycoform populations - variants sharing a protein backbone but differing in glycan structures. While current analyses often focus on individual glycoforms, we demonstrate that population-level glycoform analysis - in
Herein I will provide a brief overview of artificial receptors with emphasis on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and their applications. Alternative techniques to produce artificial receptors such as in silico designed and modelled polymers as well as different receptors designed using libraries of more or less natural composition will also be mentioned. Examples of these include aptamers and
The article uses conceptual metaphor theory in order to analyse how the concept of “copy” in copyright law is expanding in a digital society to cover more phenomena than it originally did. For this purpose, the legally accepted model for valuing media files in the case against The Pirate Bay (TPB) is used in the analysis. When four men behind TPB was convicted in District Court of Stockholm, Swede
The mechanism of atomic and molecular ionization in intense, ultra-short laser fields is a subject which continues to receive considerable attention. An inherent difficulty with techniques involving the tight focus of a laser beam is the continuous distribution of intensities contained within the focus, which can vary over several orders of magnitude. The present study adopts time of flight mass s
This paper presents a VLIW co-processor template for smart imaging. The template is highly scalable and can easily be instantiated for a specific data level parallelism. The co-processor is built to operate on frame segments instead of full frames only. As a result, eight different instances of the co-processor have been generated, each with different amount of parallelism exploited. Each instance
The growing complexity of integrated circuits and increasing component density place higher requirements for raw material and clean room standards, which demand significant amounts of energy. In spite of these developments, semiconductor facilities managed to reduce their energy intensity measured per product unit. At the same time, the impact of increasing circuit integration on upstream life cyc
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) provides real-time information about structural damage and its evolution over time, which supports decision-makers in managing structural integrity. However, traditional SHM systems, such as vibration-based systems with accelerometers, require laborious installation and maintenance of instrumentation, including sensors, cables, and acquisition systems directly in
Objective: To describe the epidemiology of injuries and illnesses sustained during the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games, organised in a closed-loop environment to adhere with COVID-19 restrictions. Methods: Injuries and illnesses from all teams were recorded on a daily basis by team medical staff on a web-based form and by local organising committee medical (polyclinic) facilities and venue me
ObjectivesBeing met with empathy increases information sharing, treatment coherence, and helps patients to recover faster. However, we do not know how the content of the conversation about disease progression, new treatments, or other issues concerning serious illness affects patients' perceptions of the physician's empathy, and thus, the quality of the conversation. This study aimed to test the h
Entrepreneurial initiatives aiming to transform organizations from the bottom up are often complicit with the power structures they seek to change, reproducing the old while trying to cultivate the new. To unleash the transformative potential of these initiatives, it is crucial to better understand how workers can productively reckon with complicity and how this reckoning drives the entrepreneuria
