Efficient and timely maintenance is essential for the robust operation of infrastructure across all types of transport. In the railway sector, track maintenance presents unique challenges. Specifically, some maintenance tasks require track closures, which can disrupt train schedules. Coordinating these closures with regular train operations makes the scheduling process complicated. To ensure suffi

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In patients around retirement age controversy exists as to whether to treat displaced femoral neck fracture (dFNF) with internal fixation (IF) or arthroplasty. An arthroplasty in this age group may need revision due to a long expected remaining lifetime. IF carries a higher risk of early failure but a maintained native hip if healing occurs. We aimed to determine the cumula

Whereas autonomic dysfunction and the metabolic syndrome are clinically associated, the relationships with the plasma metabolome is unknown. We explored the association between orthostatic blood pressure responses and 818 plasma metabolites in middle-aged subjects from the general population. We included 3803 out of 6251 subjects (mean age, 57 years; 52% women) from the Malmö sub-cohort of The Swe

Background: Evidence based medicine (EBM) should be an endeavor within all healthcare professions. Knowledge and understanding of science are important prerequisites of EBM. Objective: The aim was to examine and compare perspectives on science and perceived inhibiting and facilitating factors for the assimilation and implementation of scientific information among clinically working specialist- and

Opera Nova tar sin utgångspunkt i de rollfunktioner vi som individer väljer i olika grupper och situationer. Hur fria är vi i våra val? Tillsammans med publiken undersöker vi bilder av makt och genus på operascenen och i verkligheten. Vi undersöker härskartekniker och pratar om hur man kan bryta upp oönskade maktmönster. Vi arbetar med improvisation och leker fram operascener i olika klassiska musThe ensemble Operaimprovisatörerna investigated ways of deconstructing images of gender and power in opera and opera improvisation performance, by changing roles and using different readings, such as realism, parody and movement. I initiated the project inspired by a theoretical vantage point of post-structuralfeminism (Wilén, 2017, p. 17). The project focused on "interchange of traditional roles

Methods for soil water conditions assessment are often highly localized or data demanding. In this study we propose a new scalable approach to assess soil water conditions. The main goal is to test whether the approach can be used to provide information about local conditions, without the need of extensive data sets. The approach utilizes a combination of normalized topography derived from the HAN

Regeringen ger nu stadigt statsbidrag till organisationer som till exempel delar ut matpaket. Men risken att Sverige glider in i en mer oklar socialpolitik för de mest ekonomiskt utsatta, skriver debattörer.

Objective: Acromegaly is associated with increased morbidity and mortality if left untreated. The therapeutic options include surgery, medical treatment, and radiotherapy. Several guidelines and recommendations on treatment algorithms and follow-up exist. However, not all recommendations are strictly evidence-based. To evaluate consensus on the treatment and follow-up of patients with acromegaly i

A recent workshop brought together global leaders in diabetes to assess existing approaches to disease heterogeneity and to identify research gaps, with a goal of achieving precision diabetology for all patients globally.

Studies within second language learning indicate that higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are important for the process of learning a new language. At the same time, previous literature indicates that assessment tasks in online courses often focus on lower-order thinking skills. Little is still known about if and how thinking skills are assessed in online EFL courses. Hence, the purpose of this st
