Bakgrund Fotledsstukningar är den vanligaste skadan inom basket och kan leda till bestående funktionsnedsättningar samt rädsla för återkommande skada. Syfte Syftet med studien var att undersöka funktionella skillnader mellan den skadade och den oskadade foten. Studien syftade även till att utvärdera självrapporterad funktion och rädsla för återgång till aktivitet bland basketspelare som drabbats a

This work consists of seven essays, with each concerning a specific subject that is related to architecture. There is additional text, which pertains to this work's examination requirements for graduating the architecture-program at Lund Technical University. This work is a creative explorations through writing as a tool; through text; becoming able to formulate, conceptualize, develop and ext

Compensation for Victims of Sexual Violence in Sweden: Some Empirical Findings from a Socio-Legal PerspectiveKarl Dahlstrand, PhD, lecturer at Sociology of Law Department, Lund University, Sweden.The background of this study is my doctoral thesis in Sociology of Law “Violation and Satisfaction: A Sociology of Law Study of Non-Pecuniary Damages to Victims of Crime” (2012). After about ten years, I

Aim: Risk factors for vitamin B12 deficiency in infants are not fully understood. The aim of the study was to assess predictors of total homocysteine and methylmalonic acid analysed in newborn screening dried blood spots. Methods: In a Norwegian case control study, we analysed total homocysteine and methylmalonic acid in newborn screening dried blood spots of 86 infants clinically diagnosed with v

Moraxella catarrhalis is a Gram-negative human mucosal commensal and pathogen. It is a common cause of exacerbation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). During the process of infection, host colonization correlates with recognition of host molecular patterns. Importantly, in COPD patients with compromised epithelial integrity the underlying extracellular matrix is exposed and provides

Objective: To obtain experiences and expert opinion on treatment of SSc patients with TNF-alpha antagonists. Methods: An investigation was carried out among the EUSTAR centres into their expertise on use of TNF-alpha antagonists. Assessment forms on the frequency of TNF-alpha inhibitor use were distributed to EULAR Scleroderma Trials and Research Group (EUSTAR) centres. Afterwards, a three round D

The aim of this thesis within competition law is to investigate which measures in a notifiable concentration as well as in relation to the suspension rule that are allowed in the EU. It is required that a concentration above certain turnover thresholds are notified to the respective competition authority. This rule is known as the notification requirement. In relation to this, the parties of a con

Motor complications impair quality of life and cause severe disability in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Since they are often refractory to medical therapy, interventional therapies have been developed, which can provide a considerable reduction of daily off-time and dopaminergic dyskinesias. Continuous dopaminergic drug delivery (CDD) is based on the steady stimulation of striat

Unitization, that is, the encoding of an association as one integrated entity, has been shown to improve associative memory in populations presenting with associative memory deficit due to hippocampal dysfunction, such as amnesic patients with focal hippocampal lesions and healthy older adults. One reason for this benefit is that encoding of unitized associations would rely on the perirhinal corte

An engineering model for estimating hot gas layer height is presented. The model is based on several sub-models, thus necessitating benchmarking against experimental data. Results from the model are compared to data from three different series of enclosure fire tests. The results indicate a strong correlation between the proposed model and the experimental observations, with an average error of le

Popular Abstract in Swedish Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) bildade regering i Bolivia 2006 med Evo Morales på presidentposten, framburna av folkliga protester mot tidigare, nyliberala regimer.

Increasingly, buildings are becoming complex “systems of systems” with many materials and attributes combining to create a whole that aims to meet a variety of design objectives including but not limited to functionality, aesthetic appeal, sustainability, safety, and security. We are now seeing this complexity move from commercial buildings and iconic structures to encompass even the residential s

Integration of machine learning (ML) components in critical applications introduces novel challenges for software certification and verification. New safety standards and technical guidelines are under development to support the safety of ML-based systems, e.g., ISO 21448 SOTIF for the automotive domain and the Assurance of Machine Learning for use in Autonomous Systems (AMLAS) framework. SOTIF an
