ObjectiveTo explore sex and age differences in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) and adherence to digital osteoarthritis (OA) self-management intervention.MethodsA register-based study with data from an OA digital self-management intervention. PROMs and adherence were collected at baseline and/or 3 ​month follow-up: ‘pain intensity’ in hip/knee (best/worst: 0–10), ‘activity impairments' (

The Web Accessibility Directive (WAD) is part of the European Union’s work for digital inclusion. The WAD obligates that public sector bodies’ websites meet accessibility standards and provide an accessibility statement on the website informing about inaccessible content, and a feedback mechanism for reporting accessibility issues or requesting inaccessible content in an accessible format. The obj

The European Parliament voted against a proposal to curb the use of agricultural pesticides in November 2023. These chemicals, designed to protect crop yield from pest insects and other organisms, can contaminate the water and air and threaten the people and wildlife that maintain the vitality of our landscapes.In some respects, Europe and its governing bodies lead the world in setting and achievi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Beständiga organiska miljögifter, till exempel PCB (Polyklorerade bifenyler), har vållat stora miljöproblem i flera decennier. Dessa föroreningar är kemiskt och biologiskt sett väldigt stabila, vilket gör att de bryts ner mycket långsamt i miljön och alltså kan transporteras långväga med vindar och strömmar. Därför kan man hitta PCB över hela jorden, även i områden där Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose serious threats to our global environment. These compounds have high chemical and biological stability and they are also very lipophilic. These characteristics not only render POPs the ability to spread widely and pollute remote areas, they also make them prone to accumulate in adipose tissues of living organisms. Consequently, it is important to monitor P

Sedan 1971 års fullföljdsreform har HD tjänat som en närmast renodlad prejudikatinstans. Som rättskälla har prejudikaten fått en ökad betydelse. Men hur rättstillämparen ska förhålla sig till prejudikatet som rättskälla är en fortsatt oklarhet. Uppsatsen syftar att tydliggöra för just detta, med särskilt fokus på frågan om prejudikatsbundenhet. Framställningen utgår från premissen att gällande rSince 1971 the Swedish Supreme Court has had the main task of leading the judiciary, through its precedents. As a source of law, precedents also have become increasingly more important. However, it’s still unclear how a precedent act as a source of law in relation to the judge. The thesis aims to clarify this issue, with special focus on precedents’ binding effect. The premise is that the general

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Denna uppsats behandlar de senkvartära avlagringarna i Örsjö grustäkt, belägen ca. 2 km öster om samhället Skurup i södra Skånes så kallade backlandskap. Detta karaktäriseras av ett småkulligt landskap med slutna depressioner. Avlagringarna i Örsjötäkten delas in i tre huvudenheter. Första avlagringen ovan kalkberggrunden består av en morän (osorterad jordart avThe late quaternary deposits at Örsjö, 2 km east of the village Skurup, south Skåne consist of three main units. Direct above the bedrock there is a diamicton correlated to Allarp till according to Lagerlund (1980). The seeond unit, the so called Örsjöbeds, consist of up to 40 meter sorted sediments in general coarsening upwards. The unit is described as a Sandur deposit by earlier workers (Lindbe

En bergartsmagnetisk studie har utförts på en guldmineralisering som är belägen vid Åkerberg, 30 km Nordöst om Boliden, i norra Sverige. Mineraliseringen är bunden till en zon av subparallella kvartsgångar i en magmatiskt lagrad gabbro. Markbundna totalfältsmätningar av magnetismen visar en negativ anomali över malmzonen. I detta arbete har de magnetiska egenskaperna av området kring malmen, samt A rock magnetic study has been preformed of the Åkerberg gold deposit, located 30 km NE of Boliden in northern Sweden. The gold mineralization is located to a zone of subparallel quartz veins in a layered gabbro. Ground surveys show a lowering of the magnetic properties at the ore zone. This thesis addresses the factors causing the anomaly by investigating the magnetic properties of different part

The state of Israel is known as the only democracy in the Middle East. The purpose of this study was to examine if there is aspects in the Israelis society that can be questioned in terms of liberal democracy. Areas of concerns in the study are the Israeli official policy's concerning inclusion and exclusion of their citizens in areas of property owning, personal status and the duty of milita

An energy service company (ESCO) is an example of an atypical business concept that generates greater positive externalities as its business grows. The basic business concept of an ESCO is a company that installs energy efficient improvements in their customers' buildings, such as new lighting and ventilation systems, and then recovers expenditures and gains profits by splitting the resulting

In my paper I have compared popular science and neutral science regarding language and construction. My task was to find out if there are differences between the language of popular science and that of scientific science. The purpose of my paper is to answer four questions 1.How do the authors present the bogbodies and the mummies in the two categories? 2.What does the popular science imagine th

“To lay in Lund” – A study about the way university students speak about sexuality Recently allegations concerning the sexual habits of young people have attracted attention in Swedish research. Assumptions regarding an increased number in sexual partners and a change in attitude towards sexuality are two of the noted aspects. The aim of this study was to develop an understanding of the way studen

Neutral Pb clusters in the size range from a few tens of atoms up to similar to 100 atoms are studied using synchrotron-based photoelectron spectroscopy. The electronic structure is seen to differ increasingly from that of the solid when the cluster size decreases. The valence band narrows gradually - down to about one fifth of the solid-state band width at the smallest size of few tens of atoms.

Objectives: To compare collagenase injections and surgery (fasciectomy) for Dupuytren's contracture (DC) regarding actual total direct treatment costs and short-term outcomes. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Orthopaedic department of a regional hospital in Sweden. Participants: Patients aged 65 years or older with previously untreated DC of 30 degrees or greater in the metacarpophalan

We study a model of the atrioventricular node function during atrial fibrillation (AF), for which the model parameters can be estimated from the ECG. The proposed model is defined by parameters which characterize the arrival rate of atrial impulses, the probability of an impulse choosing either one of the two atrioventricular nodal pathways, the refractory periods of these pathways, and the prolon

This dissertation deals with reactive components in electric circuits, both as targets for a theoretical circuit analysis, and as devices implemented in silicon processes like CMOS. The frequency behavior of a general electric network is determined by the reactances (i.e., inductances and capacitances) present in the network, either as intentional parts of the design, or as process and implementa

Background: Insulin is a therapeutic protein that is widely used for the treatment of diabetes. Its biological function was discovered more than 80 years ago and it has since then been characterized extensively. Crystallization of the insulin molecule has always been a key activity since the protein is often administered by subcutaneous injections of crystalline insulin formulations. Over the year

According to a recent report from the European Brain Council and the European Colleague of Neuropsychopharmacology the one year prevalence of some kind of mental disorder is around 27% among the adult population in Europe. Research has shown a lack of mental health literacy in the population in general and it is thus important to find ways to improve the public's knowledge and skills to provide fi
