Background A substantial untapped potential for risk reduction may be fulfilled by applying intensive lifestyle interventions targeting the co-existing risky lifestyle factors Smoking, Nutrition (both malnutrition and obesity), risky Alcohol intake, and Physical inactivity (SNAP) before surgery. This trial will compare the effect of combined and individually tailored prehabilitation with standard

Global forests are the main component of the land carbon sink, which acts as a partial buffer to CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Dynamic vegetation models offer an approach to projecting the development of forest carbon sink capacity in a future climate. Forest management capabilities are important to include in dynamic vegetation models to account for the effects of age and species structure a

Folkdans i Finland som scenisk framställning i slutet av 1800-talet.

Patients with hazardous alcohol intake are overrepresented in emergency departments and surgical wards. These patients have an increased risk of postoperative complications with prolonged hospital stays and admissions to intensive care unit after surgery. In elective surgery, preoperative alcohol cessation interventions can reduce postoperative complications, but no studies have investigated the e

Objectives: To develop evidence based recommendations for the management of hand osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: The multidisciplinary guideline development group comprised 16 rheumatologists, one physiatrist, one orthopaedic surgeon, two allied health professionals, and one evidence based medicine expert, representing 15 different European countries. Each participant contributed up to 10 propositio

BACKGROUND: The American Diabetes Association (ADA)/European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD)/International Diabetes Federation GDFAFCC Consensus Statement on the worldwide standardization of HbA(1c) states that"...[HbA(1c)] results are to be reported world-wide in IFCC units...and derived NGSP units...,using the IFCC-NGSP master equation." METHODS: We describe statistical methods to e

Background Up-to-date evidence on levels and trends for age-sex-specifi c all-cause and cause-specifi c mortality is essential for the formation of global, regional, and national health policies. In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) we estimated yearly deaths for 188 countries between 1990, and 2013. We used the results to assess whether there is epidemiological convergence across

We present the results of palaeomagnetic and Ar-40/Ar-39 studies of the Proterozoic mafic dykes in the Norrkoping and Falun areas of the southern Sweden. The primary remanence of two 939 +/- 3 Ma dykes is supported by the rigorous baked contact test. The remanence direction of two other dykes, one of which was previously U-Pb dated at 946 +/- 1 Ma is close to the reverse direction of 939 Ma dykes.

The third meeting of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology working group was convened in Lund, Sweden, in June 2010 to consider the key clinical challenge of developing electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for identification of the global subendocardial ischemia that results from subtotal occlusion of either the left main coronary artery or its equivalent. The parti

Objective: To develop evidence based recommendations for the management of hip osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: The multidisciplinary guideline development group comprised 18 rheumatologists, 4 orthopaedic surgeons, and 1 epidemiologist, representing 14 European countries. Each participant contributed up to 10 propositions describing key clinical aspects of hip OA management. Ten final recommendation

The Cone Calorimeter test method has been for years one of the most used small-scale fire test methods. It is certainly one of the methods which is most widely spread over the world at this moment. In contrast to many other fire test methods, the Cone Calorimeter provides a range of data with sound scientific basis, which allows a wide range of applications. In this article five different areas of

Sedan den första januari 2013 gäller nya avdragsbegränsningsregler för aktiebolag för koncerninterna räntor inom svensk skatterätt. Som huvudregel nekas avdrag för räntor som löper på alla typer av skulder till ett annat bolag inom koncernen. Ett av undantagen till begränsningen är fall där skuldförhållandet är affärsmässigt motiverat enligt den så kallade ventilen. Ventilen fick under lagens föSince the first of January 2013 the new interest deduction legislation on inter corporate loans has taken effect in Swedish tax law. In general, deduction of interest on inter corporate loans are from now on denied regardless what the loan is used to. As an exception interests on loans justified mainly by business reasons will still be granted deduction. This exception is called the valve (Swedish

The aim of the paper is to examine the Finnish economic transformation and the catch-up process from 1975 onwards. Moreover, this paper looks into the forces behind the rapid convergence. Finland, an example country, used to be a peripheral country that has only in the past decades transformed into an economy where innovation, technology and education have gained important roles. Given this ec

Denna kandidatuppsats handlar om gränsdragningen mellan förtäckta värdeöverföringar och dåliga affärer. Vad som skiljer en dålig affär från en förtäckt värdeöverföring har varit föremål för omfattande diskussion inom rättsvetenskapen, vilket har lett fram till att två olika modeller för bestämmande av en transaktions kommersiella karaktär har utvecklats. Karakteristiskt för ena modellen är att denThis bachelor’s thesis covers the topic of how to distinguish poor business practices from undervalued transactions. The topic of undervalued transactions has been extensively debated in the Swedish jurisprudence, which has resulted in the development of two different methods for determining the commercial nature of a transaction. The first method uses an objective necessary condition, while the s

The purpose of this study was to investigate if there is an association between an early debut of alcohol and the development of alcohol- and drug use among adolescents in the second grade of gymnasium, in Skåne. The purpose was also to investigate if there is a connection to be found between an early debut of alcohol and the mental health among the adolescents and if so, how it looks like. In add

With the transition towards an electrified vehicle fleet, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have come into focus for different stakeholders due to their high costs, resource, and energy demands for production as well as connected environmental concerns and supply risks. Circular economy (CE) strategies to slow and close resource loops and circular business models (CBMs) are discussed as solutions to th

Cementstabiliserad asfalt (CSA) är ett kompositslitlager bestående av en asfaltbeläggning med högt hålrum som är fyllt med en cementbaserad slamma. Produkten kan därför kallas för ett semiflexibelt slitlager på grund av att egenskaper från både asfalt och betong kombineras. Egenskaperna som kännetecknar CSA är asfaltens elasticitet samt cementens bärighet och beständighet, hög motståndskraft mot kCement stabilized asphalt (CSA) is a composite layer consisting of an asphalt with high cavity which is filled with a cement-based slurry. The product can therefore be called a semiflexible wearing course because of its combined characteristics from both asphalt and concrete. The characteristic features of CSA are the asphalts elasticity and the cements buoyancy and resistance, high resistance aga
