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
Factor IX is a vitamin K-dependent procoagulant zymogen of a serine protease. In the presence of Ca2+ the active form of factor IX (factor IXa beta) forms a complex with factor VIIIa on suitable phospholipid surfaces such as aggregated platelets. This macromolecular complex rapidly activates factor X. We have previously provided data that suggest an interaction between the NH2-terminal epidermal g
Tapasin is a subunit of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). It associates with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I. We show that tapasin interacts with beta- and gamma-subunits of COPI coatomer. COPI retrieves membrane proteins from the Golgi network back to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The COPI subunit-associated tapasin also interacts with MHC class I mole

The invention relates to hyperpolarised 13C-alanine, its use as imaging agent, an imaging medium comprising hyperpolarised 13C-alanine and methods of 13C-MR detection wherein such an imaging medium is used. Further, the invention relates to methods of producing hyperpolarised 13C-alanine.
In the search for viable pathways for transforming governance and institutions in the Rio+20 agenda,strengthening of public‐private governance networks has been emphasized. Important initiatives arefound in the expanding bioenergy sector where several certification schemes have been launched forensuring that bioenergy feedstock meet environmental and social requirements. These initiatives areencou
We previously identified matrilin-2 (MATN2), the largest member of the novel family of matrilins. These filament-forming adapter proteins expressed in a distinct, but partially overlapping, pattern in all tissues were implicated in the organization of the extracellular matrix. Matrilin-2 functions in a great variety of tissues. Here, we present the genomic organization of the highly conserved mous
Starting from the assumption that travelling has negative consequences for the ecological environment, this study deals with travel behaviour in Malmö. The study focuses on how households with different demographic and socio-economic characteristics and transport needs, confronted with different restrictions and possibilities in the surrounding structures, choose to travel in their everyday life.
During the last decade there has been an increase in the use of horizontal organizational relationships (HORs) such as strategic alliances, shared services, and outsourcing. Studies accentuate the unstable, fragile nature of HORS and the importance of directing attention to how these arrangements are formed and how and why they change. The aim in this study is to explore control problems of HORs a
Optimization of the duration of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) campaigns is rarely performed. This article provides a utility-based solution to posteriorly determine: i) optimal monitoring durations and ii) the extension of the service life of the welds on a steel bridge deck. The approach is illustrated with a case study focusing on remaining fatigue life estimation of the welds on the orthot
Popular Abstract in Swedish Personlig assistans i praktiken Beredskap, initiativ och vänskaplighet Bakgrund, syfte och perspektivval Denna avhandling handlar om hur det går till att realisera personlig assistans, en insats för människor med omfattande funktionsnedsättningar. Serviceformen personlig assistans, som myntades av den amerikanska Independent Living –rörelsen i slutet av 1960 talet, uPersonal assistance is a user-directed service that was founded by a section of the disability movement, namely the American Independent Living movement, in the late 1960s. Today, the concept and ideology of personal assistance services (PAS) has spread worldwide, and constitutes a part of the support system for people with disabilities in many countries. The service differs from several other pub
Våld och hot mot polis blir allt grövre. De kriminella ser inte längre något hinder mot att angripa en polis. Anledningen därtill är att en svensk polis p.g.a. yrkets skyldigheter också förväntas tåla mer än resten av den svenska befolkningen varför straffen inte står anpassade till de utförda brotten. Det förstärkta straffskyddet som är lagstadgat genom bestämmelser i det 17 ka-pitlet brottsbalke
The purpose of this study was to examine how newspapers construct the image of childcare in Sweden. To be more specific the aim was to explore and understand how media describes the work that social services are doing when they investigate the need of childcare or decide to emancipate a child from their parents. The questions this study wanted to answer is which perspective media most commonly cho
The aim of this project was to create a model of the stand-alone LAES for use in future work at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery (SIT). The model was created in IPSEpro with components developed from the software's standard library of power plant components. Required fluid properties were obtained from the Refprop DLL. This was accessed through the development of a DLL, functioning as a link
This thesis focuses on the problems involving immigrants and their voting behaviour in Sweden. We presuppose that immigrants vote in a far less extent than Swedish citizen according to general statistics. We try to explain and give solutions to this problem. To our help we use both integration theory focusing on multiculturalism and electoral participation theories. Starting off in these two theo
Abstract Purpose: This thesis, first, sets out how the collective action strategies of prime movers and the manner in which they form networks affect the pace of legitimacy of a newly emerging bioenergy system. Under the light of this information, the second purpose is to see if it is possible to provide some lessons and good examples of networking strategies for prenatal or infant bioenergy case
