OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the construct validity of a new rating scale for self-reported impairments in persons with late effects of polio. DESIGN: Psychometric analysis of data on self-perceived impairments in persons with prior polio. PARTICIPANTS: Two hundred and seventy-three persons with prior polio (119 men and 154 women; mean age, 63.5 years). METHOD: Rasch analysis of a 13-item rating scale w
MERGE involves staff from four Swedish universities and the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute.

The focus of RA4 is to provide and develop statistical models and methods that improve the analysis and evaluation of climate data and output from climate and earth system models on a global, regional, and local scale. The work includes both development of new statistical methodology that is widely applicable to spatial and spatio-temporal datasets and the use of modern statistical methods to anal

The paper aims at examining the levels of social cohesion and socio-economic dysfunctionality in former State Agricultural Farms (post-PGR) areas and at assessing the possibilities for initiating bottom-up actions, and for participating in the creation of mechanisms for local development. Data used in the study was obtained in multimethods approach, i.e. mainly during a questionnaire survey, in-de
Emissions from disc brake wear adversely affect the air quality in cities. Finite Element Analysis (FEA)approaches focussing on the macroscopic wear of pads and rotors can be found in the literature, but none of these take the wear and emission dependence of the local contact pressure and sliding speed into account. The aim of the present study is to further develop an FEA approach for simulation
This study investigates whether local government expenditure correlate with the Quality of Life (QoL) of the local population and whether high public expenditure are indicative of high or low QoL. Data, including information on public expenditure and objective QoL indicators, were gathered for Finnish municipalities from several existing databases and cover a period of 2015–2019. A composite indic
Much research on rural development interventions in China has found substantial variation in their implementation at the local level. These studies often analyze the reasons for this heterogeneity by identifying variables responsible for influencing (or distorting) interventions as they travel from central formulation to local implementation. Through an in-depth ethnographic examination of the loc
There is little systematic research on the cross-cultural validity of the dissociative disorders, especially in non-western countries. This study evaluates the fit of the DSM-IV classification and concepts of these disorders with local concepts, experiences and local presentations in south-west Uganda. We conducted focus group discussions with medical students, traditional healers, religious leade
We develop an approximation for the non-local spin-polarized optical potential theory for atoms in solids at intermediate and high energy. The present approximation for the optical potential builds on the GW-expression. We separate the RPA polarization propagator into a core electron and a valence electron part, and can then achieve a corresponding separation of the optical potential. For the vale
Popular Abstract in Swedish Brukandet av jordbrukslandskapet har förändrats dramatisk under det senaste århundradet. Det tidigare mosaikartade landskapet, med en blandning av små åkrar, ängar, hagar och våtmarker, har idag i många områden ersatts av ett likformigt landskap som domineras av vidsträckta åkrar. Samtidigt har användandet av konstgödsel och kemiska bekämpningsmedel ökat. Tillsammans meDeclines in the distribution and abundance of many farmland species during recent decades have been attributed to agricultural intensification. Agri-environment schemes are commonly used in Europe to reduce this loss of farmland biodiversity, but their effectiveness may depend on several external factors. In this thesis, I have used one such scheme, organic faming, as a landscape scale experiment
Swedish society is characterized by secularization, and at the same time, as a result of migration, the country has become more pluralistic. An important consequence of this is the increasing possibilities for cooperation between different religious communities, and a variety of inter-religious cooperation are currently taking place in Sweden. The aim of the article is to show how inter-religious
In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Moraxella catarrhalis infection of the lower airways is associated with chronic colonization and inflammation during stable disease and acute exacerbations. Chronic smoke exposure induces chronic inflammation and impairs mucociliary clearance, thus contributing to bacterial colonization of the lower airways in COPD patients. The human-
Climate adaptation is necessary to address the impacts of the climate change which is already unavoidable due to past emissions. There is a strong need for knowledge building, for which climate-related knowledge and information needs to be made available through different types of climate services. The aim with this study is to examine how useful climate services are, as a knowledge base for decis
The municipality of Olofström is intensifying the co-operation with Sölvesborg and Karlshamn, the two other municipalities in the west of Blekinge. They co-operate in two local federations and for the moment negotiations are going on about a third local federation in continuation school, but the municipalities do not agree. The aim of this thesis is to examine why Olofström co-operate with Sölvesb
