Objective To describe the epidemiology of injuries at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, including injuries sustained in the new sports of badminton and taekwondo. Methods Injury data were obtained daily via the established web-based injury and illness surveillance system (WEB-IISS; 81 countries, 3836 athletes) and local organising committee medical facilities (81 countries, 567 athletes). Univariat
The history of rail transport can offer valuable insights for future energy transitions due to its importance in promoting clean mobility. There is a complex interplay between the evolution of the railway network, fuel consumption, efficiency, energy service, and CO2 emissions that requires further exploration. We developed a dataset that covers energy use in all stages of rail transportation, as
Background: Repetitive head injury in contact sports is associated with cognitive, neurobehavioral, and motor impairments and linked to a unique neurodegenerative disorder: chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). As the clinical presentation is variable, risk factors are heterogeneous, and diagnostic biomarkers are not yet established, the diagnostic process of CTE remains a challenge. The general

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förebyggande miljöskyddslösningar har under flera år tillämpats med stor framgång i den tillverkande industrin. Den har dock används i mycket i liten omfattning i service sektorn. I takt med att tjänstesektorns ekonomiska betydelse ökat, har även miljöaspekten av ett ökat tjänsteutbud kommit i fokus. Denna avhandling förklarar hur förebyggande miljöskydd som ett strategPreventative environmental approaches (e.g. Cleaner Production and Pollution Prevention) have been successfully implemented in the manufacturing industry. They are, however, far from being fully adopted by all society actors. It has, for instance, not been fully embraced by the service sector. When this research project started, the initial question was whether it was possible to adopt experiences
It took 70-80 years to realize the width of the impact of industrialization on the forest ecosystems since a forest ecosystem is a "slow system" as seen from a human perspective. An anticipated future climate change and increasing carbon dioxide and ozone levels will change the conditions even more with time and the widely used statistical forest growth models will not be applicable anymore. Compu
Speech production, both overt and covert, down-regulates the activation of auditory cortex. This is thought to be due to forward prediction of the sensory consequences of speech, contributing to a feedback control mechanism for speech production. Critically, however, these regulatory effects should be specific to speech content to enable accurate speech monitoring. To determine the extent to which
This paper examines load balancing issues relating to a distributed CORBA-based Service Control Point. Two types of load balancing strategies are explored through simulation studies: (i) a novel ant-based load balancing algorithm, which has been devised specically for this type of system. This algorithm is compared to more traditional algorithms, (ii) a method for optimal distribution of the compu
Special purpose service robots have already entered the market and their users homes. Also the idea of the general purpose service robot or personal robot companion is increasingly discussed and investigated. To probe human-robot interaction with a mobile robot in arbitrary domestic settings, we conducted a study in eight different homes. Based on previous results from laboratory studies we identi
‘The Nurse in Primary Health Care with Special Focus on Child Health Care’ The function of nurses in Swedish primary care involves health care and medical care for people of all ages, and in their health-promotion work there is a focus on child health care. Child health care in Sweden is mostly provided by nurses. The work encompasses all children from birth to school age; it is voluntary and fre
Purpose: The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of how children living in two homes after parents' separation experience their everyday lives. Design and Methods: An inductive qualitative design was chosen for the study using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Twelve children aged 10–13 years, and living in two homes, were interviewed. The data analysis used the four fundam
BACKGROUND: Hyperthyroidism is known to have a significant impact on quality of life (QoL), at least in the short term. The purpose of the present study was to assess QoL in patients 6-10 years after treatment for Graves' disease (GD) with radioiodine (RAI) compared to those treated with thyroidectomy or antithyroid drugs (ATD) as assessed with both thyroid-specific Thyroid-Related Patient-Reporte
Norovirus (NoV) is a major cause of gastroenteritis. NoV genotype II.4 (GII.4) is the predominant genotype in health care settings but the reason for this finding is unknown. Stool samples containing isolates with a known NoV genotype from 2,109 patients in Denmark (patients consulting a general practitioner or outpatient clinic, inpatients, and patients from foodborne outbreaks) were used to dete
Denna rapport är framtagen som en del av kursen Brandteknisk riskvärdering (VBRN70), som ges vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Objektet är en idrottshall i Halmstad, kallad Söndrumshallen. Syftet med rapporten är att utreda personsäkerheten vid ett brandtillbud och målet är att undersöka om Söndrumshallen kan utrymmas på ett säkert sätt vid brand. Vid behov ska även åtgärdsförslag ges. Söndrumshallen b
Studiens syfte var att undersöka fem svenska soldaters upplevelser av offensiv krigsföring under sin tjänstgöring i Afghanistan. I fokus låg deras hantering av mental belastning och deras behov av stöd före, under och efter insats. Halvstrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem soldater som under 6 månaders tid hade tjänstgjort i Afghanistan mellan åren 2009-2012. Intervjuerna analyserades med TThe purpose of this study was to examine five Swedish soldiers' experiences of offensive war technique while serving for 6 months in Afghanistan. In particular, focus was on their experiences of dealing with mental stress and their need for support before, during and after their mission. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five individuals who had served in Afghanistan between the y

INFORMATION OCH VERKTYG FÖR KOMMUNER OCH MEDBORGARE Kommuner och deras medborgare möter nya utmaningar till följd av ett förändrat klimat. Översvämningar, värmeböljor och stormar förväntas öka i antal och styrka, medan havshöjning och erosion hotar att förändra lokala samhällen och landskap, ibland radikalt. Städernas medborgare berörs av detta på olika sätt, till exempel när de drabbas av extrem
