Introduction: Dislocation is a major complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Dual mobility cups (DMCs) are in clinical practice for patients at risk of dislocation in primary-and revision arthroplasty. This study investigated whether changing routines from conventional THA (cTHA) to DMC for fracture patients at our orthopaedic unit resulted in a reduced disl
INTRODUCTION: Administration of large volumes of fluids is associated with poor outcome in septic shock. Recent data suggest that non-resuscitation fluids are the major source of fluids in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients suffering from septic shock. The present trial is designed to test the hypothesis that a protocol targeting this source of fluids can reduce fluid administration compared w
Background: While citizen science approaches are emerging within both social and health sciences, projects aimed at improving the living conditions of older adults remain rare. To enable forward-looking housing provision for the ageing population, valid and detailed information is needed on environmental barriers in the housing stock. Moreover, to promote active ageing and avoid involuntary moves
Purpose: A new biodegradable liquid fiducial marker was devised to allow for easy insertion in lung tumors using thin needles. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the visibility of the liquid fiducial markers for image-guided radiation therapy and compare to existing solid fiducial markers and to one existing liquid fiducial marker currently commercially available. Methods: Fiducial marker v
The death of a parent is a life-changing event, and different programmes are developed to support children. This study explored how parental bereaved adolescents were included and (inter)acted in a Swedish support programme. The conducted ethnographic field study included six adolescents, their parents, and eight volunteers. The empirical material was thematically analysed through a theoretical le
Background: The increase of the aging population is a challenge to society, as age is related to dependence. Injuries such as hip fractures cause morbidity, loss of independent life, and mortal-ity. The purpose of this protocol is to describe a randomized control trial, with three intervention arms, aiming at investigating if there are any differences in outcomes after hip fracture between differe
In this study, a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) - based nomenclature system have been used for the classification of groundwater samples in a coastal aquifer. The capability of three models (7 hlr, 7 M conc, and Greater molar conc) in determining the water types has been investigated. The results show that Ca-HCO3, Na-Cl, and Na-HCO3; and Ca-HCO3, Na-HCO3, and Na-Cl are the three dominant wate
Dysfunctional water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) systems are mainly determined by poor water governance, exacerbating inequalities and poverty. Multi-stakeholder partnerships provide an approach to more flexible and adaptive governance to explore these problems. In this article, national commitments made to improve WaSH, made through the Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) partnership’s Mutual Ac
How can we talk about musico-dramatic methods and models for operatic acting, and how do these relate to other kinds of acting? Observing the tendency of operatic professionals and pedagogues to import concepts and ideals from theatrical and cinematic practices with non-operatic application of music, we reflect upon what possibilities and problems this discursive choice instils.

Observations of polarization position angle (θ) standards made from 2014 to 2023 with the High Precision Polarimetric Instrument (HIPPI) and other HIPPI-class polarimeters in both hemispheres are used to investigate their variability. Multiband data were first used to thoroughly recalibrate the instrument performance by bench-marking against carefully selected literature data. A novel co-ordinate
Introduction Nutritional education intervention during pregnancy is the process of teaching pregnant women about the importance of a healthy diet and how to make healthy food choices. It is an important part of public health and vital to preventing adverse birth outcomes. Therefore, synthesising available evidence on the effect of nutritional education intervention on birth outcomes is essential f

Background: Palliative care (PC) can alleviate suffering and improve quality of life. Yet, disparities persist, particularly in Honduras. Training efforts in PC for non-health caregivers have proven to reduce burnout and stress while enhancing the quality of life for both caregivers and patients. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the feasibility of a PC training program for non-health caregiver
An uncharacterized gene encoding a glycoside hydrolase family 43-like enzyme from Clostridium boliviensis strain E-1 was identified from genomic sequence data, and the encoded enzyme, CbE1Xyn43-l, was produced in Escherichia coli. CbE1Xyn43-l (52.9 kDa) is a two-domain endo-β-xylanase consisting of a C-terminal CBM6 and a GH43-like catalytic domain. The positions of the catalytic dyad conserved
Background: Randomised clinical trials with a factorial design may assess the effects of multiple interventions in the same population. Factorial trials are carried out under the assumption that the trial interventions have no interactions on outcomes. Here, we present a protocol for a simulation study investigating the consequences of different levels of interactions between the trial interventio
The article investigates the reception of Carl Snoilsky’s Svenska bilder (Swedish Pictures) in Swedish schools, from the 1890s until today, in the light of the concept of cultural memory. For more than half a century, Snoilsky’s cycle of poems, depicting important events and figures in Sweden’s early modern history, belonged to the literary school canon; three special school editions were publishe
The Siljan region hosts Europe´s largest impact structure. The high-relief landscape, with a central granite dome bordered by lake basins, contains an array of glacial and shore-level landforms. We investigated its deglaciation history by mapping and analysing landforms on high resolution LiDAR-based Digital Surface Models coupled with well-dated sediment successions from peat and lake sediment coThe Siljan region hosts Europe´s largest impact structure.

While Raman spectroscopy provides opportunities for simultaneous detection and quantitative analysis of multiple species, it also suffers from certain limitations, such as low signal strength, which often makes it unsuitable for the study of minor species. The present work employs a high-repetition-rate and high-power laser and re-introduces an amplification technique to improve the detection limi
Background: Liver disease in Cystic Fibrosis (CFLD) is an early complication of CF. Evidence of CFLD is often subclinical and screening is recommended. Screening includes a biochemical work-up and an ultrasound investigation. Non-invasive methods measuring liver stiffness such as shear wave elastography could be beneficial. This study describes the use of 2D Shear Wave Elastography (2D SWE) in scr
