OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcome following Lichtenstein open mesh technique or Shouldice repair for inguinal hernia operated on by surgeons in training. DESIGN: Prospective, randomised, trial. SETTING: District hospital, Sweden. SUBJECTS: 200 men with primary inguinal hernias. INTERVENTIONS: Lichtenstein mesh repair or Shouldice repair. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Duration of operation, postoperative
A double burden of malnutrition occurs when individuals, household members or communities experience both undernutrition and overweight. Here, we show geospatial estimates of overweight and wasting prevalence among children under 5 years of age in 105 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) from 2000 to 2017 and aggregate these to policy-relevant administrative units. Wasting decreased overall ac
Ever-increasing global water shortages necessitate more advanced and cost-effective water purification methods. Herein, a novel slow filtration system using natural raw zeolite is proposed as an alternative to traditional quartz sand as a filter medium. The system demonstrates excellent performance in reducing turbidity and removing methylene blue (MB). The natural zeolite-based filtration system
As immersive technologies expand in education, a gap persists between teachers’ familiarity with virtual reality (VR) tools and effective pedagogical use. This study designed, implemented, and evaluated a 60-h VR Trainer Training Program using Educational Design Research (EDR) and the Taba-Tyler curriculum model. Sixteen teachers participated in a needs analysis, followed by 42 in-service teachers
Moisture plays a critical role in several degradation mechanisms affecting the structural components of nuclear power plants. It also significantly influences the long-term structural behaviour of reactor containments. This study presents a novel hygrothermal model that uses the relative humidity as the transport potential and accounts for the presence of a thermal gradient across the containment Moisture plays a critical role in several degradation mechanisms affecting the structural components of nuclear power plants.

Effective control over the alignment of 2D nanomaterials in solution is critical for optimizing their macroscopic properties. However, the fundamental factors governing this alignment remain poorly understood. This study addresses this gap by investigating the disorder-to-order transition states of Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets. We specifically examine the interplay among sheet sizes, concentrations, and s
Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka användningen av naturrättsligt språkbruk i de danska agrarreformerna, cirka 1750-1800. Detta görs genom en social kontextualisering som fokuserar på de sprickor som fanns i det danska samhället före och under reformperioden. Jag hävdar att dessa huvudsakligen utgjordes av interna materiella skillnader inom den danska jordägande eliten, inklusive deras o

We have studied the fragmentation of the methanol molecule after core excitation and core ionization by observing coincidences between negative and positive ions. Five different negative ions (H-, C-, CH-, O-, and OH-) were observed at both the C 1s and O 1s edges. As negative ion formation occurs after resonant and normal Auger decay of core-hole states, it is necessarily linked with the release
We present the monolithic integration and electrical characterization of InAs nanowires (NWs) with the well-defined geometries and positions on Si as a platform for quantum transport studies. Hereby, one-dimensional (1D) ballistic transport with step-like 1D conductance quantization in units of 2e2/h is demonstrated for NWs with the widths between 28 nm and 58 nm and a height of 40 nm. The electri
The aim of this study was to investigate calcium chloride-induced gelatinization of oat starch, and its effects on the properties of oat starch-based Pickering emulsions. The starch granules were gelatinized in CaCl2 for up to 24 h and the results indicate that the salt-induced gelatinization of oat granules is not a surface phenomenon, as gelatinization and dissolution of the whole starch granule
