OBJECTIVE: Describe the clinical course and predictors of change in self-reported outcomes and objectively assessed physical function over time in middle-aged subjects at high risk of, or with knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: We examined 259 subjects (mean age 52.6 [SD 10.4]) at mean 18 and 25 years after previous meniscectomy and 50 population-based age- and sex-matched reference subjects with
Most fractures heal uneventfully but some evolve into nonunions. Autologous bone graft is the gold standard for stimulating healing. However, donor site morbidity, and limited graft supply make alternatives interesting. Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, BMPs, are growth factors involved in bone signaling. They are available in recombinant form for local application in nonunions and stimulate differenti
The Milky Way harbors a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at its dynamical center. Surrounding the SMBH is a dense nuclear star cluster (NSC) which is believed to include a binary population. Beyond $0.1\mathrm{pc}$ from the SMBH, Eccentric-Kozoai Lidov oscillations are suppressed by general relativity precession, and the dynamical evolution of binaries are completely dominated by encounters with oth
I mängdreglerade entreprenadavtal förtecknar beställaren arbetena som entreprenören ska utföra i en mängdförteckning. Entreprenören prissätter sedan mängdförteckningen genom att ange ett à-pris för respektive enhet arbete. I mängdförteckningen finns en preliminär uppskattad mängd för varje typ av arbete. Mängden är typiskt sett reglerbar vilket innebär att mängden arbete mäts upp när entreprenörenIn quantity-regulated construction contracts, the work that the contractor must perform is listed in a bill of quantities. The contractor then prices the bill of quantities by specifying a price for each type of work. Within the bill of quantities, there is a preliminary estimated quantity for each type of work. This quantity is typically adjustable, meaning that the amount of work is measured whe
Fram till 2009 kunde domstolen vid brottet mord döma till tio års fängelse eller till livstids fängelse. 2009 ändrades straffskalan och möjliggjorde att domstolen kunde döma ut ett tidsbegränsat straff på lägst tio år och högst arton år. I NJA 2013 s. 376 uttalade HD att utgångspunkten för ett mord utan förmildrande eller försvårande omständigheter skulle vara fängelse i fjorton år. Redan året eftUntil 2009 the punishment for murder was ten years or life imprisonment. In 2009 there was an amendment of the law, which expanded the area where the court could convict someone to a fixed sentence; ten years as the lowest and eighteen years a maximum. In NJA 2013 p. 376 the Supreme Court ruled that the basic assumption for a murder without aggravating- or extenuating circumstances was a fourteen
This examination paper will examine the reporting of the Husby riot during May of 2013 in four different Swedish national newspapers. I have taken a qualitative approach to analyse 40 newspaper articles that were written during the course of the riot. I chose to analyse articles that were written during the riot because I wanted to find out how the newspapers wrote about the riot and the people wh
Abstract Over the past decade, mass spectrometry has had an essential role in improvement of proteomics techniques. New instrument and analytical protocol developments have made mass spectrometry one of the most widely used analytical methods in quantitative proteomics. Today one of the commonly used protocols in proteomics is digestion of proteins to peptides and analysis of the peptides with li
In this thesis, the main focus of study has been the construction of violence in correlation with men using violence and violence being used against men. With a qualitative reasearch method, six interviews with six seperate employees at the Crisis Center have been conducted. The Crisis Center is a treatment center where therapy is given to men, women, teens, and children that have experienced phys

A qualitative study of how investigating social workers experience Malmös concentration on improving the care for heavy substance abusers. [translated title] Supervisor: Anders Giertz Assessor: Hans-Edvard Roos The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers investigatin
A submerged submarine is highly sensitive to fires since the fire residues cannot be directly ventilated to the atmosphere. Deadly outcome could be the result if the submarine does not reach the surface within time or manages to purify the air while submerged. Reasons for not reaching the surface could be enemies at the surface or system failure. No Swedish submarines are today able to purify fire
Den 1 juli 2020 infördes hedersmotiv som försvårande omständighet i 29 kap. 2 § 10 p. BrB. Lagändringen syftade till att tydligare markera brottslighetens särskilda klandervärdhet när gärningen begåtts med hedersmotiv och att möjliggöra ett strängare straff för sådan brottslighet. Mot denna bakgrund undersöker uppsatsen om bestämmelsen har fått det genomslag i rättstillämpningen som lagstiftaren aOn 1 July 2020, honour motives were introduced as an aggravating circumstance in Chapter 29, Section 2, point 10 of the Swedish Criminal Code. The amendment aimed to more clearly emphasise the particular blameworthiness of criminal conduct when an offence is committed with an honour motive and to enable harsher punishment for such crimes. Against this background, this essay examines whether the pr
The intensity of contact with foreigners and its influence on the degree of stereotyping in foreign judgments was tested with a procedure developed by Dr. Bert Westerlundh (2001). This is the first time that Dr. Westerlundh's procedure is used. It consists of a questionnaire with (1) 12 racially-ethnically explicit pictures, in this work classified as White, Black and Yellow; (2) six cartoon i
Examensarbetet har utvecklat en metod för att estimera den fraktala dimensionen från Transmissions Elektron Mikroskop (TEM) bilder av sot aggregat som skapats med hjälp av en mini-CAST sotgenerator. Det är ett underbestämt problem att estimera den fraktala dimensionen, en 3D egenskap, från 2D bilder. Lösningen är syntetiserade TEM bilder som baserats på projektioner av numeriskt simulerade aggregaIn this master’s thesis a method for estimating the fractal dimension from Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) images of soot aggregates has been developed, and also applied to TEM images of soot sampled from a mini-CAST soot generator. The problem to estimate the fractal dimension, a 3D property, from a 2D image is undetermined. To solve this, TEM images were synthesised based on projections o
Solar radiation is affected in a variety of different ways through the atmosphere and on its way down to the Earth’s surface. Clouds are the main factor in this attenuation of solar radiation, but aerosols, ozone and other different gases have a significant impact too. Understanding these processes is fundamental to solar forecasting. However, the atmosphere is constantly changing, which makes for
The aim of this study is to investigate what unaccompanied asylum-seeking children need according to the staff working at the homes where they are living. and how the staff tries to meet these needs. The method is qualitative and is based on interviews where six staff members were interviewed from two different homes. This study analyzes the relationship between the unaccompanied asylum-seeking c
“Meetings are now more important” : A study about social workers' view on client meetings within the financial aid sector. In social work, meeting other people forms a big part of the job and human contact is generally considered very important. The aim of this study was to investigate how social workers within the financial aid sector reason about meetings with clients when based on the goal
The EU is accused of having a democratic deficit and one of the reasons for that is the low number of turnouts in democratic elections and referendums. Voter turnout is oneof democracy’s most important indicators of health as it shows to whatextent voters practice their democratic right in a representative democracy. Voter participation is thus an accept of the rules of the representative democrac
