OBJECTIVE: According to prevailing consensus, patients with mechanical symptoms are those considered to most likely benefit from arthroscopic surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the value of using patients' pre-operative self-reports of mechanical symptoms as a justification surgery in patients with degenerative meniscus tear/knee disease.DESIGN: Pragmatic prospective cohort of 900 con

Objective: To evaluate radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression, development of knee OA, patient-reported outcomes and knee muscle strength at 10-year follow-up after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) or exercise therapy for degenerative meniscal tears. Methods: Randomised controlled trial including 140 participants, with a degenerative meniscal tear and no or minimal radiographic O

The family of methodologies and approaches used and developed by the systemic design community has several characteristics that could play a vital role in supporting collective visioning and concerted action for sustainability transitions. It offers heuristics for bridging scales and domains, and tools for constructing spaces of joint reflection, visioning and decision-making. These methodologies

III-Nitride based LEDs based on InGaN active layers on GaN work very well for the blue and green emitting LEDs. However, the large lattice mis-match between redemitting active layers, with at least 35% indium in the active layers, and the GaN substrate still limits the efficiencies obtained to very low values. Unfortunately, the approach to use GaAs based (GaAs/AlInGaP) devices for the red fails f

BACKGROUND: The ongoing TANGO2 (Telephone Assisted CPR. AN evaluation of efficacy amonGst cOmpression only and standard CPR) trial is designed to evaluate whether compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by trained laypersons is noninferior to standard CPR in adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This pilot study assesses feasibility, safety, and intermediate clinical outcomes as part

Denna kvalitativa intervjustudie syftar till att undersöka hur intresset för musik väckts hos sex elever som studerar musik på gymnasiets estetiska program, hur grundskolans musikundervisning påverkat deras intresse och varför de bibehållit detta intresse. Undersökningens deltagare består av tre killar och tre tjejer som studerar vid tre olika, svenska gymnasieskolor. Resultatet tyder på att sociaTitle: How one becomes interested in music: A study of the arousal, revival and maintenance of musical interest as perceived by six students at the upper secondary school’s aesthetics education This qualitative interview study attempts to investigate how six pupils studying music at the upper secondary school’s aesthetics program became interested in music, how the lower secondary school has affec

Podcastformatet som arena för politiserad maskulinitet, författad av Jens Kraemer, Alexander Holm & Jeppe Truedsson, är skriven inom ämnet Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Institutionen för kommunikation, Lunds universitet. Studien undersöker hur idéer om maskulinitet och antifeminism, med grund i den digitala manosfären, kommer till uttryck och ges politisk betydelse i samtida digital m

Alla barn har rätt till en grundläggande utbildning. Det är en mänsklig rät-tighet som stadgas i exempelvis barnkonventionen. Forskning visar att sko-lan är en bra skyddsfaktor, en fungerande skolgång minskar risken att hamna i ogynnsamma förhållanden, exempelvis kriminalitet. Barn som är placerade utanför hemmet är en grupp som löper större risk att hamna i ogynnsamma förhållanden, samtidigt som Every child has the right to a primary education. This is a human right stat-ed in documents such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Re-search shows that school is a significant protective factor; a functioning school experience reduces the risk of ending up in harmful environments, such as criminality. Children placed outside their homes are a group which are at greater risk of ending

From a reputation of an industrial and trading city, Aalborg has changed into a contemporary university city, with a strong development of creative clusters in knowledge-based industries. Nowadays the Vækstaksen, an urban growth axis set by the municipality, has become the driving force in the city’s development to avoid further sprawl. A great part of East Aalborg belongs to this axis and is curr

Uppsatsen handlar om den rättsliga regleringen kring den småskaliga vat-tenkraften i Sverige. Uppsatsen beskriver därför till stor del det svenska re-gelverket kring småskalig vattenkraft, samt miljöskyddet för miljön och ekologin i anslutning till den småskaliga vattenkraften. På EU-rättens om-råde finns ett antal rättsakter som på ett mer eller mindre omfattande sätt berör den småskaliga vattenk

Thailand is facing with various extreme climate events from flood to drought. As a result of climate change, these events tend to increase in frequency and intensity. The existing water infrastructures and management is showing sign of fragility and incapable of dealing with these challenges. To increase adaptive capacity and tackle current water resource challenges, water management agencies in T

Incorporating a multi-year grass ley into an arable crop rotation can increase soil organic carbon stocks, reduce carbon emissions and provide feedstock for biogas. This thesis set out to study how a policy promoting agricultural biomass for biogas impacts GHG emissions and carbon sequestration on a regional level over a temporal scale of 20 years. This was done in the specific case of policy prom

Urbanisation drives overall declines in insect pollinators. Although urban green spaces can provide suitable habitat for pollinators much remains to be learned about how urban landscapes either promote or negatively impact pollinators. We investigated how backyard design, local (100 m) and landscape (500 m) scale vegetation cover and human population density were associated with non-eusocial nativ

Imaging the strain in nanoscale heterostructures is challenging since it requires a combination of high strain sensitivity and spatial resolution. Here, we show that three-dimensional (3D) Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) can be used to image the strain in a single InP segment within an axially heterostructured GaInP-InP nanowire. We use a 350 nm-diameter X-ray beam, which is smaller than

Introduction: To develop the diving capacity in the Swedish armed forces the current air decompression tables are under revision. A new decompression table named SWEN21 has been created to have a projected risk level of 1% for decompression sickness (DCS) at the no stop limits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of SWEN21 through the measurement of venous gas emboli (VGE) in a dive s
