Little is known about pain and pain treatment among people with intellectual disabilities (IDs). We aimed to describe pain and pain medications among older people with ID compared to the general population. Data on diagnoses and prescriptions were collected from national registers for the period between 2006 and 2012 for 7936 people with an ID and a referent cohort from the general population. IDs

This paper presents a robust timing synchronization method for full duplex orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on Long Term Evolution (LTE). The proposed method contains two essential steps: 1) time alignment between the desired signal and self-interference 2) normalized synchronization peak (NSP) index switching. The time alignment is to make the difference in arrival

Various benthic mapping methods exist but financing and technical capacity limit the choice of technology available to developing states to aid with natural resource management. Therefore, we assessed the efficacy of using a single-beam echosounder (SBES), satellite images (GeoEye-1 and WorldView-2) and different image (pixel-based Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC), and an objectbased image anal

Prioriteringar i hälso- och sjukvården handlar inte primärt om kronor och ören - prioriteringar är i grunden en fråga om värderingar, Hur skall vi prioritera i hälso- och sjukvården? Vilka moraliska argument har vi för de prioriteringar vi gör? Det är dessa frågor som är utgångspunkterna för denna skrift.

Idea management platforms enable firms to generate pools of innovation ideas from a large number of employees. However, managers face considerable difficulties when deploying these platforms in a way that generates business value. This article describes the challenges faced by Allianz UK, and the management responses, as it deployed such a platform to develop a distributed-innovation capability. B

Tv har på senare år gjort sjukvården till underhållning. Programmen kan i bästa fall ge oss inblick i vården men vill vi och bör vi filmas när vi är som mest sköra och utelämnade? Hur påverkas den personliga integriteten av mediernas intåg i vården?

OBJECT: To evaluate post-surgical postural stability when treating patients with remaining vestibular function with intratympanic gentamicin (PREHAB) prior to schwannoma surgery. METHOD: 44 consecutive patients with some form remaining vestibular function scheduled for vestibular schwannoma surgery. 20 were medically deafferented with intratympanic gentamicin before surgery and 24 were not. Both g

Introduction On June 11, 2014, the International Labour Organization (ILO) adopted a new Protocol to its Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) (ILO 1930), and a new Recommendation to supplement and develop both Convention No. 29 and the Protocol. These new ILO standards do not affect the definition of trafficking or the vital role of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in leading the fight

A particular mix of integral equations and discretization techniques is suggested for the solution of a planar Helmholtz transmission problem with relevance to the study of surface plasmon waves. The transmission problem describes the scattering of a time-harmonic transverse magnetic wave from an infinite dielectric cylinder with complex permittivity and sharp edges. Numerical examples illustrate
