Vitamin A deficiency affects approximately 30% of children under 5 years old globally, with Bolivia showing persistent rates despite intervention efforts. High-altitude environments like La Paz present unique challenges for nutrient-rich crop production, mostly due to harsh growing conditions and limited infrastructure. This study investigated wether targeted modifications of hydroponic substrates
OBJECTIVE: Describe the clinical course and predictors of change in self-reported outcomes and objectively assessed physical function over time in middle-aged subjects at high risk of, or with knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: We examined 259 subjects (mean age 52.6 [SD 10.4]) at mean 18 and 25 years after previous meniscectomy and 50 population-based age- and sex-matched reference subjects with
Leaching behaviour is an important evidence of soil quality. The assessment of leaching of heavy metals from the contaminated soil is vital for environmental applications. However, leaching may differ in soil stabilised by various ratios of binders. In this study we measured leaching behaviour of soil contaminated by As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, V, Zn, met
Background:The optimal treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in patients 55 to 70 years old remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of closed reduction and internal fixation with cannulated screws (IF) compared with total hip arthroplasty (THA) on hip pain and function, with use of data for outcome measures, complications, and reoperations.Methods:This
To clarify the misfire mechanism is important for stabilizing combustion in partially premixed combustion (PPC) under low load. Fuel-tracer planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF), formaldehyde PLIF, flame and OH* natural luminosity imaging were utilized to qualify the local equivalence ratio, low-temperature reaction and the high-temperature flame features in an optical engine. Results show that
The need for sustainable sources of food is brought about by the never-ending exploitation of natural resource that our planet has provided. The heavy dependence on animal-based foods for protein has led to major depletion of the earth’s resources. The search for a sustainable protein source has led to the increase in utilization of the rapeseed cake which is a byproduct of rapeseed oil production
The enforcement and implementation of separate aspects of sustainable development and environmental sustainability can be challenging and innovative due to the complexity of this task. Appropriate policy and legal approaches and tools can be needed for this purpose. In this article, the EU experience of developing the framework for sustainable transport biofuels and special structural elements for
Föreliggande uppsats är ett examensarbete i juris kandidatprogrammet. Uppsatsen är skriven inom området familjerätt men berör även de delar av straffrätten som faller inom ramen för kriminalvårdens betydelse. Jag kommer i uppsatsen klargöra för hur umgängesrätten ser ut för de barn vars föräldrar är frihetsberövade och placerade på en kriminalvårdsanstalt. För att skapa en helhetsbild över barnensThe thesis is written within the field of family law but it also discusses parts of criminal law which carry relevance to correctional treatment. I will clarify how the right of access exists for those children, who’s parents are deprived of liberty and whom are placed in a correctional facility. In order to develop a complete picture of these children’s’ situation I will also explain the Social S
Fibromyalgi är ett kroniskt muskelsyndrom av okänd etiologi med bl a. muskelvärk, sömnsvårigheter och trötthet som drabbar framför allt kvinnor. Syftet med studien var att belysa hur fibromyalgi påverkar livet samt undersöka olika åtgärder som kan vidtagas för att underlätta livssituationen för den drabbade. Studien är en litteraturstudie. Resultatet av denna studie visade att de mest påtagliga li
Imaging plays a crucial role in studying and understanding cerebral small vessel disease. Several important findings have emerged from recent applications of advanced brain imaging methods. In patients with acute lacunar syndromes, diffusionweighted MRI studies have shown that the diagnostic precision of using clinical features alone or combined with CT scan findings to diagnose small vessel disea
To estimate the relationship between air pollution and lung cancer, a nested case-control study was set up within EPIC (European Prospective Investigation on Cancer and Nutrition). Cases had newly diagnosed lung cancer, accrued after a median follow-up of 7 years among the EPIC exsmokers (since at least 10 years) and never smokers. Three controls per case were matched. Matching criteria were gende
National accounts suggest that the Common Pochard Aythya ferina was an uncommon breeding bird throughout western Europe before 1850. Extensions to the breeding range in the late 19th century were potentially aided by the rapid development of managed fish-ponds in eastern Europe, which provided suitable novel habitat at that time. Expansion into western Europe followed in subsequent decades. Wetlan
Purpose: Most knowledge regarding outcome after adrenal surgery stems from retrospective studies reported by highly specialized centres. The aim of this study was to report a national experience of adrenalectomy with particular attention to predictive factors for postoperative complications, conversion from endoscopic to open surgery and length of hospital stay. Methods: Adrenalectomies reported i
Introduction: The central question this study sought to answer was whether the team members of Strategic Crisis Teams (SCTs) participating in mass-casualty incident (MCI) exercises in the Netherlands learn from their participation. Methods: Evaluation reports of exercises that took place at two different times were collected and analyzed against a theoretical model with several dimensions, looking
