Background: Many persons with late effects of polio (LEoP) perceive walking limitations in everyday life. A common rating scale to assess walking limitations is the Walking Impact Scale (Walk-12). However, there is limited knowledge about its psychometric properties. Objective: To investigate the psychometric properties of Walk-12 in persons with LEoP. Design: Rasch model analysis of cross-section

ABSTRACT AND INTRODUCTION Theories of text and discourse have long assumed the existence of semantic objects called discourse referents, "things being talked about and referred to by pronouns and definite noun phrases"(cf. e.g. Karttunen (1976), Sigurd (1982), Sidner (1983)). Such referents are also often alluded to in sentence grammars, above all in theories of pronominalization and control -ofte

Elastic fibers containing elastin play an important role in tendon functionality, but the knowledge on presence and function of elastin during tendon healing is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate elastin content and distribution in intact and healing Achilles tendons and to understand how elastin influence the viscoelastic properties of tendons. The right Achilles tendon was complet

IntroductionConsidering that on average in developed countries we spend about 65% of our time in private homes, understanding the exposures in homes is of outmost importance. Aerosol concentrations indoors come from indoor sources, infiltrate from outdoors and can be formed from precursors both of indoor and outdoor origin. Several characteristics and processes influence the properties of aerosols

In this paper, we carried out a systematic literature review to document the emerging scientific knowledge about COVID-19 impact on livestock systems and food security in developing countries to identify gaps and possible avenues for future research undertakings. Specifically, we systematically reviewed 68 peer-reviewed articles extracted based on rigorous selection criteria fromScopus, PubMed and

Popular Abstract in Swedish LUNGVOLYMER OCH LUNGMEKANIK HOS BARN UNDER ANESTESI Avhandlingen är avsedd att fylla luckor i vårt vetande vad gäller normal utveckling av lungvolymer och lungans elasticitet hos barn, från tidiga spädbarnstiden till tonåren. Speciellt har tidigare funnits en brist på data hos barn yngre än skolåldern. Undersökningarna gjordes i narkos och under muskelavslappning. MätnThe thesis was intended to fill gaps in the knowledge regarding the normal development of lung volumes and lung mechanics in children, from young infancy to the mid-teens. In particular, data were previously lacking regarding pre-school children. The studies were done during anesthesia and muscle relaxation. Measurements: · Absolute lung volume was obtained with a tracer gas method (sulfur hexaf

Currently, it is controlled manually and without any support of structured analytical inventory control methods. Purpose – The purpose of this Master’s Thesis Project is to investigate and suggest a method suitable for inventory control of E.ON’s so

Lärares befogenhet att med stöd av 5 kap. 6 § SkolL ingripa fysiskt mot elever i ordningsstörande situationer har varit, och är en omdebatterad fråga. Inte minst i samband med HD:s avgörande Soffallet från 2020. Undersökningar visar att delar av lärarkåren upplever en oro och rädsla för att ingripa och sedermera bli anmälda, vilket delvis tycks bottna i bestämmelsens otydlighet. I media har lärareTeacher ́s authority to, with support of chapter 5 section 6 of the Education Act, physically intervene towards students in disruptive situations has been and still is a debated topic, not least in connection with the ruling of the Supreme Court in 2020, called Soffallet (the sofa case). Surveys show that parts of the teaching staff experience a concern about intervening since they are afraid of b

Hotet mot staden: Vattnet och klimatförändringarna Klimatförändringarna kommer att göra staden mer utsatt för översvämningar från hav, regn och naturliga vattendrag, vilket riskerar att skada närliggande byggnader och infrastruktur. Västra Trelleborg är redan idag drabbat av översvämningar till följd av regn, flödet i Ståstorpsån och höga havsnivåer, och påverkan kommer att öka under det kommandeOne of the greatest challenges for today’s society is the effect of climate change and especially its impact on urban coastal cities. In southern Sweden, a future climate is forecast to result in higher peak rainfall intensities, higher sea levels and higher yearly river flows. Compound events and seasonal variability are novel areas of expertise, but earlier studies and reports have concluded tha

Innebörden av ensamrätten är att varumärkesinnehavare kan hindra tredje man från att använda innehavarens varumärke. Ensamrätten gäller endast om varumärkesanvändning föreligger vilket betyder att rekvisiten ”användning”, ”för varor eller tjänster” samt ”i näringsverksamhet” behöver vara uppfyllda. Eftersom att varumärkesrätten endast räknar upp exempel på handlingar som kan motsättas blir domstolThe meaning of an exclusive right is that a trademark owner has the right to prevent a third party from using the owner’s trademark. The exclusive right only applies if there is a trademark use, which means that the necessary requirements “use”, “for goods or services” and “in the course of trade” must be met. Since trademark law only gives examples of which actions can be opposed, the ECJ’s state

As cities expand and climate change effects become more intense and frequent, local governance has gained increased attention as capable of implementing the necessary measures for sustainability. One city in Brazil, Jundiaí, has managed to integrate participatory processes in its local planning and has become an example for other cities in Brazil. This city lies between a water reserve and a biolo

Problem Description Both academic researches and consulting firms claim that Internet of Things will come to change the society we live in, as well as create entirely new business opportunities for companies. However, there is little research that analyzes the actual benefits with Internet of Things, how companies should act in order to find these benefits, and in what way their business models m

Public space are open spaces and areas where people in the city move around, get together and play, regardless of background, age, ethnicity, gender and income. This is particularly important in poor neighborhoods where people have no access to places where to socialize. Well designed and planned public spaces are symbols of several important aspects of a city; health, safety, culture and local ec

The bicycle has many advantages as means of transport in cities. It contributes to an active lifestyle, saving money compared to driving, causing minimal emissions and reduce congestion problems in cities (Pucher & Buehler, 2008). Many municipalities have had a target to reduce the proportion of car journeys in towns in order to contribute to sustainable development, but few have succeeded (Ar

Big Data has experienced recent developments in the field of Business Intelligence and has captured the increasing interest of enterprises who are trying to seize its potential. More and more companies, operating in industries ranging from insurance to the entertainment industry, are moving forward with the adoption of Big Data, in an attempt to gain significant benefits, such as customer insight,

Urban planners lack knowledge of how solar potential of buildings is affected by the decisions taken at an early design phase. Therefore, the solar potential metric SAFARn was analysed and the development of a tool for assessing the solar potential of buildings for integration of photovoltaic panels was studied in order to provide architects and urban planners with necessary information regarding

Domstolarnas uppgift att verka för förlikningar har fått allt större prioritet sedan Rättegångsbalkens införande. När parterna lyckas nå en förlikning i en tvist som är anhängiggjord i domstol kan de välja att begära stadfästelse. Om avtalet reglerar den sak som talan rör ska rätten stadfästa avtalet i en dom. Denna dom får sedan rättskraft och frågan i målet kan därmed inte prövas igen. För att nThe courts’ task of trying to reach a conciliation between parts in a dispute has gained increasing priority since the Swedish Civil procedure law came into force. When parties successfully reach an agreement in a dispute pending in court, they can request ratification. If the agreement addresses the subject matter of the claim, the court will ratify the agreement through a judgment. Through the r
