Objectives: To update the EULAR recommendations for management of knee osteoarthritis (OA) by an evidence based medicine and expert opinion approach. Methods: The literature search and guidelines were restricted to treatments for knee OA pertaining to clinical and/or radiological OA of any compartment of the knee. Papers for combined treatment of knee and other types of OA were excluded. Medline a
Based on small to moderate effect sizes for the wide range of symptomatic treatments in osteoarthritis (OA), and on the heterogeneity of OA patients, treatment guidelines for OA have stressed the need for research on clinical predictors of response to different treatments. A meta-analysis to quantify the effect modified by the predictors using individual patient data (IPD) is suggested. The initia
Introduction: Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is the standard of care for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study aimed to review SMBG profiles in women with GDM and to examine how glucose metrics derived from SMBG relate to fetal overgrowth and infants born large for gestational age (LGA, >90th percentile). Material and Methods: This was a single-center, historical, obs
The presented guidelines are an update of the position paper, endorsed by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), on nomenclature of bone markers published over 2 decades ago. Novel insight into bone biology and pathophysiology of bone disorders has highlighted the increasing relevance of new and known mediators implicated in various aspects of bone metabolism. This updated guideline prop
Environmental changes over time and across different regions profoundly affect agriculture, forestry, water management, public health, and ecosystems. Therefore, monitoring these fluctuations is crucial for informing decision-making and developing strategies for long-term sustainability. While ground-based methods provide valuable insights into environmental dynamics, they are inherently limited i
Childhood stunting is a serious global public health issue that exhibits local spatial variations. Previous studies have used traditional statistical methods to identify stunting risk factors, and little is known about the application and usefulness of spatial machine learning techniques in identifying localized stunting risk factors based on complex datasets. This study assesses the performance o
This paper explores recent trends in Uzbek labor migration, with a focus on the growing role of the European Union as a destination. While Russia remains the largest host country, ongoing diversification has led to a notable increase in migration to EU member states, particularly for employment. Drawing on official statistics and fieldwork, the study highlights rising numbers of Uzbek migrants in
The paper examines the relationship between non-formal education activities and youth employability in the Republic of Armenia. A case study has been conducted in order to identify soft skills competitive in the labour market and see to what extent non-formal education increases youth productivity thus helping them get engaged in the job market. Another thing that the paper aims to study is the ro
Under 1990-talet bröt den före detta socialistiska federala republiken Jugoslavien upp längs sina republikers gränser, till stor del på grund av en ekonomisk och politisk kris, liksom en ökning av nationalism och etniska spänningar. Där olika nationaliteter och etniska grupper kämpade för att samexistera, och olösta etniska, nationalistiska och religiösa problem steg upp till ytan - försökte en se
Five years into the present peacebuilding cycle in Colombia, violence is increasing again. In the Putumayo department, social-ecological conflicts between the state, armed groups and local communities persist. Social leaders, often representing local communities, are targets of violent actions and represent an extremely vulnerable group. In the Putumayo, at least 67 social leaders defending human
The objective of this study was to increase the knowledge of local stakeholders' acceptance of model-generated data when used as a communication tool in water quality management. The Ronnea catchment in the southwest of Sweden was chosen as the study area. The results indicate the model-generated data served as a uniting factor. Simultaneously, the stakeholders were concerned with presented data,
Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a pressing public health challenge in South Africa, deeply rooted in intersecting social, economic, and structural factors. Comprehensive approaches are increasingly recognized as essential for addressing the complex nature of the issue. While efforts to prevent GBV among children and adolescents can yield long-term, sustainable outcomes, they often remain fragm
Thesis purpose: This thesis aims to discover young Swedish consumers' boycott and buycott behavior of food and drink brands by understanding their decisions and participation in these practices. Methodology: This study is built upon a qualitative research design and adopts an abductive approach. A social constructionist viewpoint guides the research to help to get a deeper understanding of yo
The thesis project explores how emerging technologies and Al Voice Assistants can enhance user understanding of electric vehicles by offering more intuitive, adaptive, and immersive experiences. Users often face challenges understanding how to interact with their vehicle’s autonomous features effectively. This project focuses on bridging that gap by integrating interaction design with Al and eXten

CONTEXT: Uptake of organic farming falls short of stated sustainability targets, particularly in highly productive regions where adoption could mitigate environmental impacts of intensive farming. Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain the constraints on adoption, but these have not been assessed within an integrative, interdisciplinary framework.OBJECTIVE: The objective was to develop a
Agricultural production systems are under pressure to contribute to climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and resilient food production. This calls for multifunctional strategies, potentially including integrated biomass production in intensively farmed landscapes to generate renewable energy and positive environmental impacts as co-benefits. Despite this, broader implications of large-sc
The volcanic Hartley Formation (part of the Olifantshoek Supergroup, which is dominated by red bed successions) in South Africa recorded depositional and tectonic conditions along the western Kaapvaal Craton during the late Palaeoproterozoic. It formed in association with red bed deposition elsewhere in the cratonic hinterland and along the craton’s northern margin. However, the exact correlation
Randomised controlled trials conducted using cohorts and routinely collected data, including registries, electronic health records and administrative databases, are increasingly used in healthcare intervention research. A Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement extension for trials conducted using cohorts and routinely collected data (CONSORT-ROUTINE) has been developed with
