Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund En grundförutsättning för detta avhandlingsarbete var att smärta i rörelseapparaten kan studeras som ett samlat begrepp. Med två undantag, fibromyalgi och reumatoid artrit, avstod vi därför från att beskriva smärtan utifrån specifika diagnoser. Detta förhållningssätt har stöd i den mest vedertagna definitionen av smärta, som arbetats fram av IASP (InternationaThe aim was to study prevalence, assessment methods, and risk factors of chronic musculoskeletal pain, as well as effects on health status in a general population setting. A postal survey to a representative sample of 3928 subjects aged 20–74 years in 2 municipalities on the west coast of Sweden was followed by clinical examinations of selected subjects, and a three-year follow up survey to 2425

BackgroundLignin is a potential feedstock for microbial conversion into various chemicals. However, the microbial degradation rate of native or technical lignin is low, and chemical depolymerization is needed to obtain reasonable conversion rates. In the current study, nine bacterial strains belonging to the Pseudomonas and Rhodococcus genera were evaluated for their ability to grow on alkaline-tr

I dag arbetar cirka 22 procent av de arbetande kvinnorna i Sverige i vård och omsorgssektorn. Vård och omsorg är en kvinnodominerad sektor som karaktäriseras av höga sjuktal, hög personalomsättning och rekryteringsproblem. Sveriges befolkning blir allt äldre samtidigt som vården av svårt sjuka patienter i allt högre grad flyttas ut från sjukhusen till hemmet. Detta utgör stora utmaningar för hemtj

1. Motivation, specific objectiveTo evaluate the first prototype of a home lighting system, we used a full-scale model of a studio apartment in the laboratory of the School of Architecture at Lund University. The personalised home lighting system is based on LEDs, wearable sensors and a mobile phone app to produce lighting tailored to the individual’s needs. Drawing on participant interviews (n =

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the added value of using temperature-dependent electric and magnetic properties in high-Temperature electromagnetic simulations. Design/methodology/approach - In this work, the electromagnetic properties of Domex 420, SSAB, have been characterized as a function of the temperature, from room temperature to 900°C. The measurement of the electric a

How can the realities of global warming be made visible in literary texts? After the rise of 'cli-fi', it might be time to return to a trove of literature written long before the discoveries of climate science: fiction about fossil fuels. It is filled with premonitions of disasters, such as extreme heat and terrible storms. Focusing on two texts - Ghassan Kanafani's Men in the Sun and Joseph Conra

Det svenska universitetssystemet har vuxit till att bli en omfattande och komplex institution. Expansionen har inte bara gällt antalet studenter, lärare och forskare utan också den administrativa ram de verkar inom och de personalkategorier som ingår däri. Men förhållandet mellan lärarkår och administratörer präglas inte sällan av misstro. I sin artikel vill Ola Agevall och Gunnar Olofsson tränga
