Background: The management of patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) requires imaging diagnostics of good quality and accurate measurement of the degree of slippage. In Sweden, three different radiological methods are commonly used: the calcar femorale method; the Billing method; and the Head-shaft angle described by Southwick. Purpose: To evaluate whether any of the three most com

Purpose: This paper aims to comprehensively clarify the research status of thermal transport of supercritical aviation kerosene, with particular interests in the effect of cracking on heat transfer. Design/methodology/approach: A brief review of current research on supercritical aviation kerosene is presented in views of the surrogate model of hydrocarbon fuels, chemical cracking mechanism of hydr

EU:s deponeringsdirektiv har medfört ökade krav på deponier. Mängden deponerat organiskt material har begränsats kraftigt och deponiernas inre skall nu vara så torrt som möjligt. Konsekvenserna av detta är ännu inte helt kända. Fläskebodeponin, den deponi som varit i drift längst av de få svenska deponier som är konstruerade enligt direktivet, har här fungerat som ett exempel på framtidens depoThe European landfill directive increases demands on landfills. The amount of organic matter being landfilled is restricted and landfills should be as dry as possible. The consequences of these changes are not yet fully understood. In this study the first landfill in Sweden to be constructed according to the directive, Fläskebo, has served as an example of future landfills. Its leachate has be

Ta några ingenjörsstudenter, släng in ett par kognitionsvetarstudenter och ge dem ett problem att lösa. Ut kommer interaktiva dataspel för skolan och robotar som kan imitera människors rörelser. – Vi kombinerar doing och thinking, säger Agneta Gulz, professor i kognitionsvetenskap.

With the emerging technology called the Internet of Things (IoT), we can now connect computing devices and sensors to the Internet. The IoT sensors serve to collect data, pushing it and sharing it with a whole network of connected devices. We decided to explore how to utilize IoT data to increase the user experience from a commercial gym application called Advagym. Advagym is a commercial solution

INTRODUCTION: Patient simulation can be useful for medical students in developing communication skills for vulnerable situations. Three participants are primarily involved in the patient simulation activities: the student, the simulated patient (SP), and the teacher. We here aimed to explore these participants' perceptions of learning in a patient simulation scenario.METHODS: We conducted individu

The conserved ESX-1 type VII secretion system is a major virulence determinant of pathogenic mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium marinum. ESX-1 is known to interact with infected macrophages, but its potential roles in regulating other host cells and immunopathology have remained largely unexplored. Using a murine M. marinum infection model, we identify neutrophils

One factor which can be expected to influence performance in applications where the user is expected to point a device in some direction to obtain information is the angle interval in which the user gets feedback. The present study was performed in order to get a better understanding of the influence of this angle interval on navigation performance, gestures and strategies in a more realistic outd

The element silicon is everywhere! In fact, silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth’s crust. Silicon in rocks and minerals breaks down and is transported from rivers and streams into the world’s oceans. Many marine organisms need silicon as it is a crucial nutrient to build their skeletons. Silicon eventually reaches the seafloor, but its journey into the abyss is not straightforward

Introduction: A blood-based biomarker (BBBM) test could help to better stratify patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), reduce unnecessary imaging, to detect and treat secondary insults, predict outcomes, and monitor treatment effects and quality of care. Research question: What evidence is available for clinical applications of BBBMs in TBI and how to advance this field? Material and methods:

Despite decades of research on the pathophysiology of depression, the development of new therapeutic interventions has been slow, and no biomarkers of treatment response have been clinically implemented. Several lines of evidence suggest that the clinical and biological heterogeneity among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) has hampered progress in this field. MDD with low-grade inflamm

I folkrättsligt hänseende är en stat endast skyldig att låta de egna medborgarna uppehålla sig på dess territorium. Ur ett EU-rättsligt perspektiv är dock varje medlemsstat förpliktad att tillämpa de regler som avser främja fri rörlighet för personer inom unionen. Dessa återfinns i EU:s primärrättsliga stadganden men konkretiseras genom sekundärrättsliga bestämmelser, framförallt genom direktiv 20With regard to international law, a state is only required to allow its citizens to reside within its own territory. However, from an EU law perspective, each Member State is obliged to apply regulations which intend to facilitate the free movement of persons within the EU. This is expressly laid down in the EU treaties, but must be viewed within the context of secondary law, in particular, the Ci

Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan, a commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has announced his candidacy for the Iranian presidential elections in June 2021. Dehghan has a toxic military background. In the 1980s he was responsible for the vicious crackdown on opponents of the Islamic regime, and he played a central role in the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut that killed hun

Library and information science (LIS), is a research area marked by theoretical diversity and strong influence from both the developing library profession, as well as other social sciences. During the development of LIS several attempts have been made to define its scientific identity. The definition of what constitutes core, boundaries and the superior identity of LIS is still debated among resea
