Background:Little is known about hip-related function, mobility, and performance in patients after hip arthroscopic surgery (HA) during the time that return to sports can be expected.Purpose:To evaluate measures of subjective and objective hip function 6 to 10 months after HA in patients compared with healthy controls and to compare objective function in the HA group between the operated and nonop
AIMS: The CHA2DS2VASc score is used to evaluate the risk of thromboembolic events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. We assessed the prognostic yield of CHA2DS2VASc for new-onset atrial fibrillation, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a non-atrial fibrillation population.METHODS: We analysed a population-based cohort of 22,179 middle-aged individuals with (n = 3542) and with
Background: Early-onset pancreatic cancer (< 50 years, EOPC) is uncommon and limited data exist on clinical presentation and long-term survival. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes between patients with EOPC and those with later-onset pancreatic cancer (≥ 50 years, LOPC) using a large population-based cohort. Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was qu
BACKGROUND: Patients on dialysis who have an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have an exceedingly poor prognosis, but it is unknown to what extent guideline-recommended interventions and treatments are used and to which benefit. We aimed to assess temporal changes in the use of treatments and survival rates in dialysis patients with an AMI. METHODS AND RESULTS: All consecutive AMI cases from 1996
BACKGROUND: Atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) reflects longitudinal left ventricular (LV) systolic function, and wall thickening (WT) regional radial LV function. The temporal evolution of these measures after STEMI with CMR has not been evaluated. We aimed to investigate how AVPD and WT are affected globally and regionally from the sub-acute to the chronic phase after ST-elevation myocar
We studied avian development in 49 to 153 species of temperate and tropical New World passerine birds to determine how growth rates, and incubation and nestling periods, varied in relation to other life-history traits. We collected growth data and generated unbiased mass and tarsus growth rate estimates (mass n = 92 species, tarsus n = 49 species), and measured incubation period (n = 151) and nest
Background: Low levels of the soluble tumour necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (sTWEAK) and depression are linked to cardiovascular disease. Galectin-3, inadequate glycemic control and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels were previously linked to depression in these patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The main aim was to explore whether sTWEAK was associat
The aim of this study was to perform a preliminary assessment of the expected effective dose rate from external exposure to an adult individual staying at that part of the radioactively contaminated territory of the Vetka district of the Gomel region of the Republic of Belarus, from where residents had been resettled after the Chernobyl accident. For this assessment, in summer 2016 and 2018 soil s
Background: Abdominal obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim was to explore the influence of midnight salivary cortisol (MSC), antidepressants and sex on abdominal obesity in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We controlled for physical inactivity, smoking, depression and alexithymia. Methods: Cross sectional study of 190 T1D patients (86 women/104 men, 18-59 years, diabetes duration 1-5
International studies have noted shortcomings in food safety knowledge and behaviour among university students. In general students do not constitute a pronounced risk group but there are wider implications. In a foreseeable future some of them will become pregnant and a majority will be responsible for vulnerable groups in their near environment. A crucial question exists, therefore, about their

Extrapolation in Time in Thermal Fluid Structure Interaction Philipp Birken, Tobias Gleim, Detlef Kuhl and Andreas Meister Abstract We consider time dependent thermal fluid structure interaction. The re- spective models are the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and the nonlinear heat equation. A partitioned coupling approach via a Dirichlet-Neumann method and a fixed point iteration is employed

I takt med att chatbottar blir allt vanligare inom digital kommunikation blir det avgörande att förstå hur deras kommunikationsstil påverkar användarupplevelsen. Denna studie undersöker hur olika kommunikationsstilar, formell, vardaglig, och opromptad, påverkar användarnas uppfattning om mänsklighet och förtroende för AI-genererade chatbottsvar. Med en within-participants undersökningsdesign fick
Endotherms are restricted in their activity by the amount of heat they can lose, as hyperthermia can be lethal. As we are expecting increasing ambient temperatures on earth it is crucial to investigate how different species are affected by heat. 28 male captive-bred zebra finches were forced to exercise in a hop-flutter wheel in different ambient temperatures (10, 20, 30 and 35 °C). Body temperatu
This thesis analyzes how South Asian immigrant families in Helsingborg with children utilize, perceive, and sustain car-free mobility in their lives. It reveals that car-free mobility is not merely the absence of car ownership, but a practice shaped by material conditions, users' competencies, and the meanings they attach to different cultural norms and early practice experience in their daily
Childhood cancer aetiology is poorly understood and is considered to originate in utero and early postnatal life. In this study, we investigated perinatal characteristics as potential risk factors by performing a population-based case-control study, including 1340 cancer cases diagnosed < 19y and born between 1989–2021 in southern Sweden, and 13400 controls matched by sex, year, and municipality o
Biodiversity hotspots are biogeographic regions exceptionally rich in endemic species showing high rates of habitat loss, making them the priority of global conservation efforts. As part of the biodiversity hotspot with the highest density of endemic species, the West Usambara Mountains in Tanzania require an efficient and resourceful monitoring solution. This thesis aimed to model the tree specie
This degreework was initiated by a brief email send form the department of design science at Lund Institute of Technology, Lund University. It was an invitation from the company Reflectil Sverige AB about their interest to renew their selection of non-professional high visibility garment. The companies demand was to broaden their selection of nonprofessional high visibility garment. They wanted to
The purpose of the study is to investigate how the secrecy that prevails between municipalities, more precisely between social administrations, can be an obstacle in the case of a family home placement. Four theories have been used in this study to analyze the results: Michael Lipsky's grassroots bureaucracy, Attachment theory by Bowlby, trauma-informed care by Boswell and Batch, and emotions
The transition from animal-based to plant-based proteins is rapidly increasing because of different concerns about meat consumption, some being the nutritional and environmental effects of meat consumption. During this transition, there needs to be a holistic approach to assessing plant-based food. This master thesis is focused on investigating the nutritional and environmental impact of three pla
