Objective: To evaluate sick leave after meniscal repair vs arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) and, for comparison, vs the general population. Method: Using Swedish register data we included all employed persons aged 19–49 years in the general population of Skåne region and identified those having had meniscus repair or APM in the period of 2005–2012.

This paper investigates how stakeholders respond to digital feasibility study images to augmented reality (AR), with the purpose to determine if AR could be the right practical application to create Virtual tourism. Based on the visitors’ perspective via qualitative interviews, the goal is to explore whether a digitalization in a realistic way, manages to mediate the concealed time layers and othe
Background Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in primary care and leads to a high number of antibiotic prescriptions. Antimicrobial resistance is a global health problem; better antimicrobial prescribing is one way to limit antimicrobial resistance. We aimed to describe the number of consultations for patients diagnosed with lower urinary tract infection (LUTI) and pyelonephritis and changes
Modern industrial robots are fast and have very good repetitional accuracy, which have made them indispensable in many manufacturing applications. However, they are usually programmed to follow desired trajectories and only get feedback from position sensors. This works fine as long as the environment is very well structured, but does not give good robustness to objects not being positioned or gri
Gasoline partially premixed combustion (PPC) has the potential of high efficiency and simultaneous low soot and NOx emissions. Running the engine in PPC mode with high octane number fuels has the advantage of a longer premix period of fuel and air which reduces soot emissions. The problem is the ignitability at low load and idle operating conditions.In a previous study it was shown that it is possGasoline partially premixed combustion (PPC) has the potential of high efficiency and simultaneous low soot and NOx emissions.

Researchers have emphasized the child’s perspective within social science since the 1990’s which has resulted in a shift in the view of children within research towards the recognition that children are active, creative social agents in their own right.

Operationalizing a Global Carbon Observing and Analysis System (www.geocarbon.net) would provide a sound basis for monitoring actual carbon fluxes and thus getting quantities right when pricing carbon - be it in a cap-and-trade scheme or under a tax regime. However, such monitoring systems are expensive and-especially in times of economic weakness-budgets for science and environmental policy are u
This thesis aims to give an insight into the relatively atypical work relationship between younger managers and older employees in the hotel industry. We illustrate this phenome-non based on the idea of age diversity management. Age diversity management, which promotes the benevolence of an age diverse workforce, is little noticed within the field of diversity management, but gets more and more cr
The purpose of this study is to examine how offender profiling is being used in Sweden and how investigators working at different police departments perceive it as a method. To get ahold of empirical data I conducted a total of four interviews. To fulfill my purpose I first had to describe the offender profiling in Sweden with help of the interview with a representative for Gärningsmannaprofilgrup
As migrations from within and outside of Europe continue to increase steadily, particularly in the Mediterranean region, the integration of immigrant populations is one of the most pressing issues faced by many European countries. Although there is significant research on immigrant integration in urban areas, the settlement and integration of immigrants in rural areas is largely understudied, even
