Objective: To determine the relative contribution of each of the following aspects: demographics, physical function, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including both physical and psychological constructs, to return to sport (RTS) (any level) one-year post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Design: Cross-sectional cohort study. Methods: We included data for 143 participa

We address the challenges in estimating 3D human poses from multiple views under occlusion and with limited overlapping views. We approach multi-view, single-person 3D human pose reconstruction as a regression problem and propose a novel encoder-decoder Transformer architecture to estimate 3D poses from multi-view 2D pose sequences. The encoder refines 2D skeleton joints detected across different

Extended growing season lengths under climatic warming suggest increased time for plant growth. However, research has focused on climatic impacts to the timing or duration of distinct phenological events. Comparatively little is known about impacts to the relative time allocation to distinct phenological events, for example, the proportion of time dedicated to leaf growth versus senescence. We use

The manifestation of extreme solar proton events (SPEs) in Beryllium-10 (10Be) ice core data contains valuable information about the strength and incidence of SPEs or local characteristics of the atmosphere. To extract this information, the signals of enhanced production of cosmogenic 10Be due to the SPEs have to be detected, hence distinguished from the variability of the background production by

We present a novel, interferometric, two-color, high-order harmonic generation setup based on a turn-key Ytterbium-doped femtosecond laser source and its second harmonic. Each interferometer arm contains a spatial light modulator with individual capabilities to manipulate the spatial beam profiles and to stabilize the relative delay between the fundamental and the second harmonic. In addition, sep

Background: Approximately 7.6% of children are diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and sleep impairments affect 25–85%. There is a noticeable lack of research on girls and sex differences. The aim of this study was to examine sex differences in children with uncomplicated ADHD and sleep problems. Methods: Cross-sectional baseline data were retrieved from a randomized co

How do Swedes, who are not exposed to administrative routines of reporting race and ethnicity, perceive, and categorize faces with different phenotypical features? This study examines identity contestation that can occur and address how race affects the way you are perceived as Swedish. A sample of Swedish participants were asked to assign racial categories to images of faces with different phenot

Multiphase flow in porous media are widespread in emerging subsurface application including geological carbon sequestration and underground hydrogen storage. Multiple fluid interactions introduce more complexity compared to single phase flow. On the gas-liquid interface, mass transfer and interfacial instability may arise. The study of multi-phase interaction behaviour allows the insights gained t

Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs) are promising therapeutic targets in cardiovascular disease, including ischemic stroke. However, important spatiotemporal information for alterations of S1PR expression is lacking. Here, we investigated the role of S1PR3 in ischemic stroke in rodent models and patient samples. We show that S1PR3 is acutely upregulated in perilesional reactive astrocytes af

Thermally sprayed Al2O3 coatings containing graphene nano platelets (GNP) have been shown to exhibit improved wear resistance. To understand the positive influence of GNP on wear properties, scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) analyses were performed to determine the structural and chemical changes that occur on the GNP and alumina matrix after wear tests. STXM results acquired at the C

Although it is widely recognized that migration is socially transformative, the potential contributions of migrants to transformations towards sustainability in their destination areas are often overlooked in mainstream discourse on environmentalism and sustainability. Here we seek to identify current narratives of migrants and sustainability across individual, urban, and national scales. Migrants

Chromosomal rearrangements involving Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) are rare but recurrent findings in lymphoid or myeloid neoplasia. Detection of JAK2 fusion genes is important as patients with aberrantly activated JAK2 may benefit from treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as ruxolitinib. Here, we report a novel fusion gene between the transcriptional co-repressor-encoding gene transducin-like e

In times of escalating global environmental crises and subsequent troubling emotional experiences, it is imperative to understand the psychological mechanisms through which people cope. Although it is increasingly recommended to talk about global environmental change and the emotions it evokes as a way of coping with its overwhelming and existential nature, private-sphere conversations about clima

We have studied the conversion of two molecules of carbon monoxide to ethylene catalyzed by nitrogenase. We start from a recent crystal structure showing the binding of two carbon monoxide molecules to nitrogenase and employ the combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics approach. Our results indicate that the reaction is possible only if S2B dissociates as H2S (i.e., the charge of the FeM

Denna avhandling är en kvalitativ, livshistorisk och narrativ studie som undersöker hur 19 vuxna transmaskulina personer i Johannesburg och Kapstaden, Sydafrika, navigerar och förhandlar fram hållbara liv i de miljöerna de lever och rör sig i. Studiens teoretiska ramverk bygger på teoretiska inslag från feministisk geografi, queerfenomenologi, svart transfeminism och analyser av rasifierad kapitalThis dissertation is a qualitative, life history/narrative study that explores how 19 adult trans masculine people living in different urban areas around Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa, navigate and negotiate liveable lives in the spaces and places they live and move in. This study draws from the theoretical and analytical traditions of feminist geographies, queer phenomenology, black tr
