Objective: To examine the clusters of chronic conditions present in people with osteoarthritis and the associated risk factors and health outcomes. Methods: Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) GOLD was used to identify people diagnosed with incident osteoarthritis (n = 221,807) between 1997 and 2017 and age (±2 years), gender, and practice matched controls (no osteoarthritis, n = 221,807) f

Multiplex Antibody-Detection by Agglutination-PCR (ADAP) assay was compared to singleplex standard radiobinding assays (RBA) to detect autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), GAD65 (GADA), islet antigen-2 (IA-2A), ZnT8 (ZnT8A) and tissue transglutaminase (TGA). Serum samples from 272 (114F/158M), 15-73 years of age healthy controls and 227 (109F/118M) newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes children, 1-11 y

Det primära syftet med studien var att bidra med kunskap om hur kulturstyrning arbetas med och upplevs av organisationsmedlemmar på en offentlig organisation. Ytterligare ett syfte var att genom det kritiska perspektivet som teoretisk lins i analysen också synliggöra vilka underliggande maktmekanismer som föreligger i organisationsmedlemmarnas meningsskapande av kulturen. För att besvara studiens The primary purpose of the study was to contribute with knowledge about how culture management is realized in a public organization and further how it is experienced by its organization members. Another purpose was to make visible, through the critical perspective as a theoretical lens in the analysis, what underlying power mechanisms exists in the organization members' sensemaking processes a

The change of color of water from yellow to brown termed as brownification process is mainly due to leaching of humus and iron concentrations. In recent years, this problem is increasing in lake Bolmen, a major source of drinking water in Skåne county, Sweden. This process has been a threat to aquatic life and increasing the water treatment cost too. Storån river being the main tributary of the la

The purpose with this thesis is to give the reader a holistic view of the 3D-print technology and how it can come to use in the construction industry. The purpose is also to spread knowledge about the technology. During the evaluation of the technology examines four aspects that an innovation needs to establish on the market, the aspects are: geographical resources, economical, law and social impa

This investigation concerns written output produced by Swedish learners of English as a second language (L2) and French as a third language (L3). The analysed texts were rated according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which is a widespread and language-independent document commonly used to assess communicative competence based on six main proficiency levels (A1,

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om ACT-träning i grupp (Acceptance and Commitment Training) kunde leda till ökad psykologisk flexibilitet och empati, och minskad fördomsfullhet. Social dominansorientering och ingruppsidenitifikation studerades också som eventuella moderatorer. Tidigare forskning pekar på en relation mellan psykologisk flexibilitet, empati och fördomsfullhet, men ACT som metodThe purpose of this study was to examine if group-based ACT-training (Acceptance and commitment training) would lead to increased psychological flexibility and empathy, and decreased prejudice. Social dominance orientation and ingroup identification were studied as potential moderating mechanisms. Previous research shows a relationship between psychological flexibility, empathy and prejudice, but

Myrar under bevakning I södra Sverige är orörda myrar en ovanlig företeelse och i många fall har människan manipulerat myren i produktionssyfte. På två myrar i södra sverige övervakas utvecklingen av träd och ris-skikt för att ta reda på om myrarna är på väg att växa igen och försvinna. Sveriges myrar står idag inför hotet om att växa igen. För ca 200 år sedan började människan att leda bort vat

The future of our society is in need of changes to survive. Our cities are not sustainable the way they are today, nor the way we consume our resources. For those reasons, sustainable development has become fashion today. Eco-cities are being built all over the world to find new solutions to problems we face every day, such as too much traffic and waste. The topic for this master thesis is who ini

Den nuvarande svenska arbetsrätten kan vara på kollisionskurs med EU-rätten avseende tidsbegränsade anställningar när det gäller implementeringen av direktiv 99/70/EG. EU-kommissionen anser att det finns en kollision mellan direktivet och sättet det införlivats i nationell rätt. Det finns bärkraftiga argument att samma skyddsnivå som avses i direktivet uppfylls indirekt genom de svenska arbetsrättCurrent Swedish labor rules may be on a collision with the European legal rules concerning time-limited employments arising from the EU directive 99/70/EC. The view of the European commission is that the directive has not been fulfilled and properly incorporated in the national rules. There are valid arguments that the level of protection as intended in the directive is achieved, regardless of the

As the world is trying to rid itself of its dependence on fossil fuels, the need for renewable energy is rapidly increasing. In the power distribution network (DN), this takes the form of distributed generation (DG) from renewable sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) power production. But as more DG is installed, it can lead to issues in the DN such as overloading and overvoltage when production is

Behavioural finance is crucial for ensuring the soundness and stability of financial markets, as it concerns all actors from individual investors to regulatory institutions. This study quantifies the effect of three biases related to Prospect Theory, a model famously introduced by Kanheman and Tverksy (1979) which explains human behaviour under risk. The biases in question are loss aversion, the r

Sous vide går ut på att råvarorna vakuumförpackas i påse för att sedan tillagas i den förslutna påsen vid en temperatur lägre än vad som traditionellt används. Livsmedel som tillagas med sous vide har vanligtvis en bättre smakmässig kvalitet samt en längre hållbarhet än livsmedel som tillagats med traditionella metoder. Många hemmakockar saknar vakuummaskin och tar istället till andra metoder somSous vide is a cooking technique where ingredients are vacuum packed in a bag and then cooked in a waterbath, the temperature of which sous vide is used is often lower than the temperature used for traditionally cooked food. Foods cooked with sous vide usually have a higher quality when it comes to taste, as well as a longer shelf life than food cooked with traditional methods. Since many home co

Personal på sjukhusavdelningar upplever ett antal problem kopplade till administrativa uppgifter. Bland dessa problem ingår att behöva dokumentera samma information i flera system, samt svårigheter vid överlämningar mellan skift. Den nuvarande produkten Pulstavlan, utvecklad av Stretch Care AB, har som mål att lösa dessa problem. Pulstavlan är dock stationär och möjliggör därför inte för vårdpersoStaff in hospital wards experience a number of issues related to administrative tasks. These problems include needing to document the same information in multiple systems, and difficulties in shift handovers between staff members. The existing product Pulstavlan, developed by Stretch Care AB, aims to solve these issues. However, as the product is stationary, it does not enable staff to bring the i

Minispares, or spare wheels, can often cause a lot of problems for the control of the car since it rotates notably faster than normal tyres. This because it is often smaller to reduce weight. When a minispare is used, it needs to be detected for the control system to understand that one tyre is allowed to spin faster compared to the others. If the control system does not know this, it will believe

Background Dietary intervention is an effective way to prevent pandemic non-communicable diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes which can probably raise the risk of depression and Alzheimer's disease. Although considerable numbers of intervention studies focus on metabolic effects and physiological benefits of the intake of plant lipids, the function in appetite, mood, and cognition modu

The aim of this master’s thesis is to create knowledge about the occupational identity of academic librarians in relation to their work with open research data. Interviews with six librarians from six different Swedish academic libraries were performed and analysed with the use of occupational identity-theory and sociocultural theory. It was found that the informants of the study had a difficult t

The role of anti-epithelial growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies (anti-EGFR MoAbs) in treatment-related electrolyte disorders is still controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the incidences and overall risks of all-grade and grade 3/4 electrolyte disorder events. We searched relevant clinical trials from PubMed, EM
