Background: Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy has been shown to be of no benefit to patients with concomitant knee osteoarthritis, but the optimal treatment of a degenerative meniscus tear in patients with mild or no knee osteoarthritis is unknown. This article describes the rationale and methodology of a randomized sham-controlled trial to assess the benefit of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy o
Human rights are the basis by which the dignity of the human being is guaranteed. This is especially important in the relationship between persons and governments, who on the one hand have great power in form of legislation over these persons, but on the other hand must ensure the protection of human rights. A problem may arise when these two opposing forces of the State collide,1 as the individua
A search for the production of a Higgs boson and one or more charm quarks, in which the Higgs boson decays into a photon pair, is presented. This search uses proton-proton collision data with a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis relies on the identification of charm-quark-containing
While international research is increasingly concerned about the role of socio-economic status in special education, Greek scholars have focused on the psychological and behavioural aspects and their connection to academic attainment, overlooking the impact of socio-economic status. Even though the Greek legal framework advocates for inclusive education, there is a significant gap between policies
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children and adolescents is increasing in the world and the United States of America (US). Previous research has shown that the nurse has an important role in the management of T2DM in children and adolescents but few studies has covered how the nurses perceive and experience this role. This paper aimed to describe how nurses in the US experience their role and t
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as three or more consecutive miscarriages, is hypothesized to share some of the same pathogenic factors as placenta-associated disorders. It has been hypothesized that a defect implantation causes pregnancy loss, while a partially impaired implantation may lead to late pregnancy complications. The aim of this retrospective register-based cohort study was to
I skrivelsen Skärpt straff för mord presenterar Justitiedepartementet ett lagförslag som syftar till att förändra tillämpningen av påföljderna för mord. Förslaget innebär att samtliga fall av mord där försvårande omständigheter föreligger ska straffas med livstids fängelse. En stor del av dessa gärningar leder enligt gällande rätt och nuvarande rättstillämpning till ett längre tidsbestämt fängelseIn their official letter Sharper punishments for murder the Ministry of Justice presents a bill to change the choice of sanctions for murder. The bill suggests that all cases of murder, in which there are aggravating circumstances, shall be punished with life imprisonment. A large number of these acts of murder are, according to applicable law, sentenced to fixed term imprisonment. An alteration i
Den nuvarande ökningen av icke-statliga aktörer som bedriver kommersiell verksamhet i rymden har lett till juridiska frågor om bland annat ansvar. Är det nuvarande internationella rättsliga ramverket för yttre rymden tillräckligt etablerat för att hantera övergången från ett rättsområde som en gång dominerades av stater, till ett område som idag drivs av privata ekonomiska intressen? I denna uppThe important rise of non-state actors performing commercial activities in outer space has resulted in legal issues regarding inter alia responsibility. The question is whether the current international legal framework on outer space is sufficiently established to cope with a continuously shifting legal area once dominated by States to one today driven by private economic interests. This essay i
This thesis investigates the causal impact of sponsored academy conversion on educational outcomes in English secondary schools, focusing specifically on the proportion of pupils achieving a standard pass in both English and mathematics at the end of Key Stage 4. Using a panel dataset of secondary schools from 2011 to 2019, and a two-way fixed effects staggered difference-in-differences (DiD) appr
The ways in which victims of rape are portrayed in news media is important, as they influence public perceptions of blame and responsibility. Media coverage can contribute to victim blaming by emphasising certain behaviours or circumstances, or by framing specific narratives. Despite extensive research on this topic, little is known about how such portrayals are affected by legal change, and how ‘
Background: Parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and sleep problems can experience challenges and negative health effects. The aim of this study was to explore parents’ own health-related experiences as their child with ADHD and sleep problems underwent a sleep intervention with a weighted blanket. Methods: A convergent mixed methods design was undertaken. Socio
Precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) have gained increasing interest as a model to study lung biology and disease, as well as for screening novel therapeutics. In particular, PCLS derived from human tissue can better recapitulate some aspects of lung biology and disease as compared to PCLS derived from animals (e.g. clinical heterogeneity), but access to human tissue is limited. A number of different
Background: Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF) and Paleolithic Diet Score (PDS) are both measures of how closely a food intake conforms to a Paleolithic dietary pattern. PDF is calculated directly from an individual’s absolute food intake and PDS is an aggregated score based on an individual’s food intake relative to a population. Both are inversely associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortal
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) reduces disease recurrence and progression in intermediate- and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). BCG-associated adverse events during instillations are common, leading to treatment cessation. Prophylactic use of quinolones in conjunction with BCG instillations is one approach for reducing BCG-associated adverse events. O
Identification and analysis of key success factors for an entrepreneurial firm to achieve leverage when establishing on a foreign market with a premium consumer product.
Research question-/s: Incumbents in the financial industry - what are the challenges faced in the beginning of a reactive transition to Market Orientation and how do these influence the process? Methodology: The case study was conducted in a global financial service provider based in Sweden. The research takes a qualitative approach which follows an inductive method with small elements of deductio
Metabolic modelling coupled with flux-balance analysis (FBA) has become a popular tool in systems biology for quantitative predictions of metabolic processes in silico, and as an aid in metabolic engineering. Drawing upon gene-protein-reaction associations deducible from information on the genome-level, so-called genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are unequalled in their scope as they attempt to
