Histomorphometric and osteocytic characteristics of cortical bone in male subtrochanteric femoral shaft

The histomorphometric properties of the subtrochanteric femoral region have rarely been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the age-associated variations and regional differences of histomorphometric and osteocytic properties in the cortical bone of the subtrochanteric femoral shaft, and the association between osteocytic and histological cortical bone parameters. Undecalcified

Automatic estimation of a scale resolution in forensic images

This paper proposes a new method for an automatic detection of a resolution of a scale or a ruler with graduation marks in the shoeprint images. The method creates a vector of the correlations estimated from the co-occurrence matrices for every row in a shoeprint image. The scale resolution is estimated from maxima in Fourier spectrum of the correlations’ vectors. The proposed method is evaluated

Student-teacher relationships and bullying : The role of student social status

Student–teacher relationships have been shown to influence bullying-related behaviors in students. This study considered the moderating role of students’ social statuses in the classroom. The study sample included 435 students (48.7% females) taken from 18 Italian middle-school classrooms (i.e., sixth to eighth grade). A multigroup path analysis approach was employed to examine whether the effects

Novel multi-pad functional electrical stimulation in stroke patients : A single-blind randomized study

BACKGROUND: Foot drop is common gait impairment after stroke. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the ankle dorsiflexor muscles during the swing phase of gait can help correcting foot drop. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate efficacy of additional novel FES system to conventional therapy in facilitating motor recovery in the lower extremities and improving walking ability after stroke. METHODS: Sixteen

Artikeln går på djupet i utvalda prosaomskrivningar av historien om hjälten Theseus från Köln och täcker versioner från 1300- till 1700-talet. Den undersöker hur de är uppbyggda, språkligt, strukturellt och innehållsligt, och i vilka yttre kontexter de nya versionerna dyker upp.

Reasoning, Argumentation: Insights from the Wild

This article provides a brief selective overview and discussion of recent research into natural language argumentation that may inform the study of human reasoning on the assumption that an episode of argumentation issues an invitation to accept a corresponding inference. As this research shows, arguers typically seek to establish new consequences based on prior information. And they typically do

Learning to Take Risks? : The Effect of Education on Risk-Taking in Financial Markets

We investigate whether acquiring more primary education has long-term effects on risk-taking behavior in financial markets. Using exogenous variation in education from a compulsory schooling change combined with wealth data for the Swedish population, we estimate the effect of education on stock market participation and on the share of financial wealth invested in stocks, conditional on participat

Fusion or stabilization alone for acute distractive flexion injuries in the mid to lower cervical spine?

Long-term pain problems and residual restricted mobility were evaluated for patients sustaining acute distractive flexion injuries to the cervical spine. To assess which of two alternative surgical approaches gives better long-term outcomes, 58 patients were studied, 29 in each group. The results of posterior wire stabilization without fusion according to Brandt were contrasted with those of the C
