Purpose: Children gain increased health and well-being by participating in physical activity (PA) and exercise. Globally, only 19% of children meet the World Health Organisation recommendations on PA and the rates are even lower among children with disabilities. Children with disabilities are often dependent on assistive exercise products (AEP) to be able to perform PA and exercise. The aim was
ObjectiveTo compare the early and midterm outcomes of left subclavian artery revascularization during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) following carotid subclavian bypass/transposition (CSB) vs. fenestrated repair when landing in zone 1/2. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to adjust for baseline differences.MethodsDEbranching versus FENestrated Repair for Left SubClavian Arter
Measurements of normalized differential cross sections for top-quark pair production are presented as a function of the top-quark transverse momentum, and of the mass, transverse momentum, and rapidity of the t (t) over bar system, in proton proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 7 TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb(-1), recorded in 2011 with the
Background The national hip registers of the Nordic countries provide an opportunity to compare age- and sex-standardized annual incidence of primary total hip replacement (THR) and types of implants used for primary hip osteoarthritis (OA) in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Methods The data on THR were from the national total hip replacement registries, and population data were from
A model system consisting of pure triolein and palmitic acid and LipozymeTM, an immobilized lipase (E.C. 3.1.1.3.). has been used to determine the effects of various reaction parameters on the reaction rate and the formation of by-products in the interesterification reaction. The goal was to minimize the level of diglycerides and eliminate trisaturated triglycerides at an endpoint chosen so that t

Concerto for Double Bass and Orchestra by Eduard Tubin is considered to be one of the most challenging pieces of the double bass repertoire as it is known to be a physically demanding work. It was written for double bass player Ludvig Juht who was a physically big built man and welcomed the technical challenges. This thesis aims to analyze these challenges of the piece for a player with smaller ph
Denna uppsats undersöker den fortsatta utvecklingen av ett potentiellt FN-fördrag om företag och mänskliga rättigheter. I år är det ett decennium sedan rådet för mänskliga rättigheter antog resolution 26/9, vilken inrättade en arbetsgrupp för att utarbeta ett potentiellt rättsligt bindande instrument inom mänskliga rättigheter, med målet att reglera transnationella företag och andra affärsverksamhThis thesis examines the continuing development of a potential UN Treaty on Business and Human Rights. This year marks a decade since the Human Rights Council passed resolution 26/9, establishing a working group to elaborate a potential legally binding instrument in international human rights law, with the objective to regulate the activities of transnational corporations and other business enterp
Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM) have emerged with the intention of supporting decarbonisation and carbon dioxide removal solutions around the world. However, and despite a rapid growth, the motivations and preferences of the demand side to engage in with the VCM have not been thoroughly studied before. Iceland, the focus of this thesis, exemplifies this trend. To address this knowledge gap, this th
Exoplanets have been observed at many stages of their host star's life, including the main-sequence (MS), subgiant and red giant branch stages. Also, polluted white dwarfs (WDs) likely represent dynamically active systems at late times. Here, we perform three-body simulations which include realistic post-MS stellar mass-loss and span the entire lifetime of exosystems with two massive planets, from
Alltsedan det kalla kriget slutade har försvarssektorn, framförallt militär logistik och försvarsmaterielanskaffning, genomgått en genomgripande transformation. Flera faktorer har bidragit till transformationen: förändringar i länders och organisationers försvars- och säkerhetspolitik; reducerade försvarsbudgetar; deltagande i fredsbevarande och fredsframtvingande operationer; erfarenheter från deSince the ending of the Cold War, the defence sector, particularly the areas of military logistics and defence acquisition, has been undergoing a comprehensive transformation. There are several factors that explain this transformation: changes in defence and security policies for nations and organisations; reductions in defence expenditure; participation in Peace Support Operations; Lessons Learne
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är sedan länge känt att för samma bildkvalitet kan patientstråldosen variera kraftigt mellan två olika sjukhus för en och samma röntgenundersökning. Det finns ett stort utrymme för sänkning av patientstråldosen utan att undersökningens kvalitet påverkas. Vid optimering inom röntgendiagnostik balanseras patientstråldos mot bildkvalitet. Optimeringen kräver att man haOptimisation in diagnostic radiology requires accurate methods for determination of patient absorbed dose and clinical image quality. Simple methods for evaluation of clinical image quality are at present scarce and this project aims at developing such methods. Two methods are used and further developed; fulfilment of image criteria (IC) and visual grading analysis (VGA). Clinical image quality de
Three titania polymorphs, anatase, rutile, and TiO2(B), were used as supports for vanadia. Catalysts with nominal loadings corresponding to 1.5 and 5 theoretical layers were prepared. True monolayer samples were obtained by NH3(aq)-treatment of the samples with 5 nominal vanadia layers. Prepared catalysts were characterized by chemical analysis, ESR, and high-resolution electron microscopy. It was
This book chapter discusses and evaluates four different efforts to extend human life: Normalize ageing, Optimize ageing, Retard ageing and postpone death, and Eliminate or overcome ageing and death. I suggest that improved treatment of disease and handicap at all ages should be welcomed. As a secondary effect, this may in many cases result in an extension of individual lives. However, the direct
This thesis presents investigations for the improvement of electrical contact and catalytical properties of two fungal redox enzymes, cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) and pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH), with electrodes and the use of the prepared electrodes as carbohydrate biosensors and in enzymatic biofuel cells. The performance of enzyme modified electrodes can be improved in two ways, by modifying
