Groin pain is common in soccer players. Comparison of results from different studies, especially between genders, is difficult as studies use different definitions and data collection procedures. Therefore we conducted a study of both male and female soccer players enabling direct gender comparison.

The galectins are known to be able to recognize and cross-link beta-D-galactopyranoside-containing glycoconjugates as a result of presenting multiple binding sites. This review summarizes efforts in our group for the last ten years towards low-molecular weight chemically modified carbohydrate derivatives. In addition to providing an avenue for improved affinity and galectin-selectivity, we have fo

Nordost om Bushveldkomplexen i Kaapvaal kratonen finns en mäktig gångsvärm av nordost-orienterade diabasgångar tillhörande ”the Black Hills dyke swarm”. Med hjälp av U- Pb metoden av mineral baddeleyit daterades fem gångar inom ålderspannet 1.87 - 1.85 Ga, där två av dem ger exakta åldrar på 1852 ± 5 Ma och 1863 ± 7 Ma. Denna gångsvärm är alltså lika gammal som lagergångar tillhörande ”post- WaterThe NE-trending Black Hills dolerite dykes make up a prominent swarm northeast of the Bushveld Igneous Complex in the Kaapvaal craton. Baddeleyite U-Pb dates of five dykes suggest emplacement ages between ca. 1.87 Ga and 1.85 Ga, with two samples yielding robust ages of 1852 ± 5 Ma and 1863 ± 7 Ma. The Black Hills swarm is thus largely coeval with the post-Waterberg dolerite sills (1.88-1.87 Ga) a

Inom kärnkraftsverken, läkemedelsindustrin, biotekniklaboratorier mfl är det vanligt att det radioaktiva ämnet 14C förekommer i olika former. Inom kärnkraftsverken som en biprodukt vid elproduktion och inom läkemedelsindustrin används det som markör för att studera hur sunbstansen distribueras i kroppen. Genom inandning vid t ex oförsiktighet kan de människor som arbetar med dessa olika substanserWith the help from accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), hair from workers within the nuclear power industry, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry has been investigated to see if contamination from 14C. 14C-using companies and nuclear power plants were contacted, volunteers were recruited, who sent in hair samples together with a questionnaire. The samples were washed and prepared for 14C anal

This essay studies the effect that proficiency of an official language has on political participation. It is a quantitative study focusing on 36 African countries. Our theory stipulates that a lack of proficiency acts as a cost in a rational choice-model of political participation. The hypothesis is that the quota of official language-speakers in a country positively affects the country's leve

The premise of this bachelor’s thesis is that Swedish Early Childhood Education is underrepresented in social science research, despite being governed by political objectives and constituting one of the most central welfare institutions in Swedish society. The empirical material consists of four Swedish Government Official Reports published between 1972 and 2020. Using a qualitative content analys

Materialvariation i gråjärn diskuteras vanligtvis utifrån metallurgi eller bearbetbarhet, medan dess konsekvenser för produktionsflödet och styckkostnaden är mindre systematiskt karaktäriserade. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur sammansättningsvariation i gråjärn propagerar genom bearbetningsrespons till produktionssystemets beteende, och kvantifierar de resulterande ekonomiska konsekvenserna perMaterial variability in grey cast iron is usually discussed in terms of metallurgy or machinability, while its consequences for production-flow behaviour and per-part economics are less systematically characterised. This thesis investigates how compositional variability in grey cast iron propagates through machining response into production-system behaviour, and quantifies the resulting per-part e

Credibility and intent are important but imprecise legal categories that need to be assessed in criminal trialsas neither common nor civil legal systems provide decision-makers with clear rules on how to evaluatethem in practice. In this article, drawing on ethnographic data from trials and deliberations in Italiancourts and prosecution offices, we discuss the emotive-cognitive dynamics at play in

Context: Nitrate contamination of groundwater, driven by human activities such as agriculture and urbanization, poses a significant global challenge. Objective: We aimed to identify the major drivers of nitrogen load (nitrogen pollution generation potential) and quantify spatial disparities in nitrogen load productivity across administrative divisions in the Kumamoto area from 1960 to 2020 under e

Crop yield improvement during the last decades has relied on increasing the ratio of the economic organ to the total aboveground biomass, known as the harvest index (HI). In most crop models, HI is set as a parameter; this empirical approach does not consider that HI not only depends on plant genotype, but is also affected by the environment. An alternative is to simulate allocation mechanisticall

Objectives: Identification of biological markers that can guide treatment selection is considered to be a viable solution for personalized treatment for patients with psychiatric disorders. This study investigated whether macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels at baseline were associated with mindfulness-based group therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy response in patients with mil

IntroductionSports‐related injuries and illnesses in Paralympic sport (SRIIPS) is a concern, but knowledge about the aetiology and risk factors is limited. The aim of this study was to describe the annual incidence, type and severity of injuries and illnesses among Swedish Paralympic athletes and to assess risk factors.MethodsSwedish Paralympic athletes (n=107) self‐reported SRIIPS every week duri

If you really want to know how much Australia contributes to the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere, you have to study all the “sources” and “sinks”.Sources release CO₂ into the atmosphere, while sinks take it out. There are sources from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, and there are natural sinks such as plants absorbing CO₂. You can tally it all up on a balance sheet

We outline a framework to study the use of mathematics in physics classrooms. The framework focuses on the relations made between Reality, Theoretical models and Mathematics. In this paper the analyses of one teacher and her 3rd year classes at secondary school are presented. The results show that phenomena in reality are often used as a short prelude to put focus on the relationship theoretical m

Since 1750, land-use change and fossil fuel combustion has led to a 46% increase in the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, causing global warming with substantial societal consequences. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global temperature increases to well below 2C above preindustrial levels. Increasing levels of CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as methane (CH4) and nitrou

Objective: The aim was to compare rapid antigen detection test (RADT) and throat culture for group A streptococci (GAS) among patients recently treated with penicillin V for GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Design and setting: The study was a secondary analysis within a randomized controlled trial comparing 5 versus 10 days of penicillin V for GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Patients were recruited at 17 primary

Over the past half-century, drastically increased chemical fertilizers have entered agricultural ecosystems to promote crop production on the Yangtze Plain, potentially enhancing agricultural nutrient sources for eutrophication in freshwater ecosystems. However, long-term trends of nitrogen dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems and their impacts on eutrophication changes in this region remain poorly
