Background: The use of high-flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) compared with standard low-flow oxygen therapy (LFOT) may improve outcomes in people with oxygen-dependent chronic respiratory failure (CRF). The primary aim of this multicentre trial was to evaluate HFOT in addition to LFOT, compared with regular LFOT in people with CRF due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung
INTRODUCTION: People with longstanding hip and groin pain (LHGP) are often referred to orthopaedic care. Physical therapist-led interventions are recommended in consensus statements as the first line of treatment, but it is unknown if structured interventions are more effective than usual care. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured physical therapist-led treatment
Context: Life satisfaction (LS) is associated with health and longevity but decreases after spinal cord injury (SCI). Yet, little is known about changes in LS over time, many years after SCI. Objectives: To assess changes in LS over six years among older adults aging with long-term SCI, determine how changes in LS are associated with sex, age, injury characteristics, and with changes in secondary
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Målsättningen med detta arbete är att ta fram en metod för att kartera och analysera den rumsliga variationen av landskapets sårbarhet för miljögifter, samt att visa hur geografiska informationssystem (GIS) kan underlätta denna rumsliga kartering och analys. Analysen utfördes inom vattenskyddsområdet Ignaberga-Hässleholm i Hässleholms kommun. Först studerades
Ett problem vid offentlig upphandling är att leverantörerna under hela upphandlingsprocessen kan överpröva upphandlingen. En leverantör kan således enligt gällande rätt klaga på något i anbudsskedet fram till och med utgången av den frist som följer av avtalsspärren. En sen överprövning av ett tidigt fel i upphandlingen riskerar att leda till att upphandlingen behöver göras om. Problemet är inte e

The approach to focus on this particular sample population was born out of the realisation that the EU, nationalist parties and far - right extremists all point to a common her itage. What has not been studied however is the effect of immigration on nation
An increasing number of automotive supplier companies are investing in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in order to gain cost advantages. This has happened in a rapid pace since many of these countries did not have any foreign direct investments (FDI) at the turn of the century.

Nevertheless, because of different social environments and different rituals and values the development pace and
Research in service management and marketing has in the past decade highlighted the concept of value creation. In service organizations value creation is described as a process in which the customer uses a company's value proposition in a meaningful way. However, research has tended to ignore the contextual meaning, and few empirical studies have shown how context is relevant. Therefore, the aim o
Many passerines migrate during the night and at high altitudes, making their migration difficult to observe. By using tracking radars we have been able to make exact observations of the flight behaviour of passerines on nocturnal migration, which has enabled us to test several hypotheses about adaptive values and constraints regarding migratory behaviour in different ecological contexts. We have i
This dissertation deals with aesthetic rules in an urban context. The dissertation develops a theoretical framework for understanding the role of aesthetic rules, especially urban design codes, in the process of improving the architectural quality of the built environment. In the context of this framework three case studies of urban design codes are presented. The over-arching aim is hermeneutical
