The aim of the present investigation was to test the Lysholm knee scoring scale from 1985 for sensitivity and reliability. Thirty-one patients with one of four different diagnoses: anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACL), meniscus tear (MT), patello-femoral pain syndrome (PFPS) and lateral ankle sprain (LAS) participated in the study. None of the patients were in the acute phase of injury, and no

Ohövliga beteenden har visats vara ett vanligt förekommande fenomen, med negativa effekter för individer, organisationer och samhället. Under de senaste två decennierna har omfattande forskningsfokus lagts på att öka kunskapen kring ohövlighet i arbetslivet, bland annat genom att undersöka utsatta, och utövare av ohövlighet. Trots detta så har färre studier undersökt hur ohövliga beteenden påverkaWorkplace incivility has been found to be a ubiquitous phenomenon, with adverse effects for individuals, organizations and society. Over the past two decades, substantial research efforts have been made to increase knowledge about workplace incivility, including investigations of its targets and perpetrators. However, less research has been conducted on how workplace incivility impacts bystanders.

The ST14A cell line was previously derived from embryonic day 14 rat striatal primordia by retroviral transduction of the temperature-sensitive SV40 large T antigen. We showed that cell division and expression of nestin persists at 33°C, the permissive temperature, whereas cell division ceases, nestin expression decreases, and MAP2 expression increases at the nonpermissive temperature of 39°C. In

Emerging photovoltaics (PVs) focus on a variety of applications complementing large scale electricity generation. Organic, dye-sensitized, and some perovskite solar cells are considered in building integration, greenhouses, wearable, and indoor applications, thereby motivating research on flexible, transparent, semitransparent, and multi-junction PVs. Nevertheless, it can be very time consuming to

Laser-based fabrication of metal-halide perovskite mini-modules has recently been demonstrated using nanosecond (ns) laser pulses. However, it still suffers from high-resistance contacts due to remaining PbI2 residues at the bottom of the absorber-opening P2 scribe line. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the effect of shorter picosecond (ps) laser pulses, and thus lower heat input, on the c

Photoinduced phase separation, which limits the available band gap energies for photovoltaic applications, was reported for a range of mixed-halide perovskites. A microscopic understanding of the phase separation mechanism is still lacking but may be beneficial to rationalize limitations as well as enable the design of phase-stable perovskite semiconductors. In this letter, electron-beam-induced p

In this work, we present a detailed investigation of the optical properties of hybrid perovskite building blocks, [PbI2+n]n−, that form in solutions of CH3NH3PbI3 and PbI2. The absorbance, photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra of CH3NH3PbI3 and PbI2 solutions were measured in various solvents and a broad concentration range. Both CH3NH3PbI3 and PbI2 solutions exhibi

Metal halide perovskites (MHP), as used in photovoltaic (PV) applications, show a rich photophysics in inert and ambient atmosphere. The presence of atmospheric molecules leads to processes that enhance as well as reduce their photoluminescence (PL) emission. Various phenomena are previously described for a wide variety of gas molecules and different classes of MHP, with a particular interest on t

We studied the seasonal fluctuation of norovirus and other enteric viruses in Cameroon. Two hundred participants aged between 1 and 69 years were prospectively followed up. Each participant provided monthly faecal samples over a 12-month period. A total of 2484 samples were tested using multiplex real-time PCR assay for the detection of norovirus, rotavirus and enterovirus. The effect of weather v

In this work, we rationalize the chemical pathways and kinetics of the crystallization of methylammonium lead iodide hybrid perovskite. Our approach includes a combination of analysis of solvent coordination, the structure of intermediate solvate phases, and modeling evaporation rates of precursor solutions.

A combination of theoretical predictions and isotopic equilibration experiments using the three-isotope method have been performed to assess Si isotope fractionation among minerals, and aqueous species in the presence of dissolved catechol. Aqueous Si in abiotic ambient temperature aqueous solutions is dominated by the IV-coordinated H4SiO04species, but the presence of aqueous catechol provokes th

Glas är ett genomsiktligt material som används i byggnader för att utforma miljöer som är ljusa och upplevs som öppna. Modernt byggnadsglas används i konstruktioner som utsätts för betydande laster jämfört med ett traditionellt fönsterglas. Som exempel kan nämnas trappsteg, balustrader, golv, tak och väggpaneler där glasets geometriska utformning kan vara mer eller mindre komplex. Det finns ett beNovel and increased use of glass in building construction has been made possible, as a result of methods of mass production introduced during the 20th century and advanced computational structural analyses. With modern use of glass structures, a range of demands emerge which need to be addressed in the strength design process. The aim of the thesis work has been to develop experimentally verified

Chronic prurigo (CPG) is a highly burdensome pruritic disease characterized by chronic itch, a prolonged scratching behavior and the development of localized or generalized hyperkeratotic pruriginous lesions. Neuronal sensitization and the development of an itch-scratch cycle contribute to the augmentation of pruritus and the chronicity of the disease. We provide here the first international guide

Chronic nodular prurigo is characterized by recalcitrant itch. Patient perspectives on therapeutic goals, satisfaction with therapy and efficacy of therapeutic regimens for this condition are unknown. This questionnaire study examined these issues in 406 patients with chronic nodular prurigo from 15 European dermatological centres. Improvements in itch, skin lesions and sleep were the most importa

BACKGROUND: Itch is a common symptom in the general population. Affected individuals often do not seek medical consultation and rely on Internet searches to obtain information regarding their itch.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to attain insights into common concerns of the general population regarding itch can by analysing itch-related Internet search behaviour.METHODS: Google AdWords Keyw

Komplekse demonstrativer består av et definitt element, f.eks. den eller sa, og et deiktisk element som kan betegne det nære (proksimal, f.eks. her) eller det fjerne (distal: der). Slike komplekse demonstrativer tar ulike uttrykk i norsk, ikke minst i dialektene, der vi finner systemer som kan være til dels ganske ulike de to norske standardvarietetene. Vi finner systemer med flere distinksjoner e
