Background Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cover underweight to obesity in children and adolescents, and to compare trends with those of adults. Methods We pooled 2416 popu
This Mutual Learning Exercise (MLE) on Innovation-related Procurement was conducted under the Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility run by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation. The 15 countries that participated were: Austria, Belgium - Brussels Region, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden an
Background: To pursue high quality research, successful participant recruitment is essential, but recruitment rates are often low. This is specifically true in target populations with impairments, for instance, among stroke survivors. Previous studies focusing on recruitment have mainly relied on information from professionals, and there is therefore a need to contribute with new methodological in
Only three days after the beginning of the nuclear catastrophe in Fukushima, Japan, on 11 March 2011, the German government ordered 8 of the country's 17 existing nuclear power plants (NPPs) to stop operating within a few days. In summer 2011 the government put forward a law - passed in parliament by a large majority - that calls for a complete nuclear phase-out by the end of 2022. These governmen
Butterfly monitoring schemes are recording programs initiated to monitor nationwide butterfly abundance and distribution patterns, often with help from volunteers. The method generates high-resolution data, but may be associated with a degree of habitat sampling bias if volunteers prefer to survey areas perceived to be high-quality butterfly habitats. This can result in habitats becoming underrepr
Aim: The purpose of this paper is to provide a broad-based overview of the current literature regarding patients' experiences of symptoms following day surgery. Background: The advent of new anaesthetic and anti-emetic agents, advanced surgical techniques and the need for reduced costs for inpatient hospital services, has resulted in about 70% of all surgical procedures being undertaken as day sur
In older adults, age-related degenerative processes and disorders often degrade some sensory systems more than others, which can make postural control disproportionally dependent on one kind of sensory information. The study aims were to investigate 1) the postural stability when healthy older adults were repeatedly exposed to a video in an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment, and 2) the re
Background: Clinical trials have provided evidence that transplants of dopaminergic precursors, which may be replaced by new in vitro stem cell sources, can integrate into the host tissue, and alleviate motor symptoms in Parkinson´s disease (PD). In some patients, deterioration of graft function occurred several months after observing a graft-derived functional improvement. Rejection of peripheral
The Danes’ have the highest municipal waste generation per capita in the European Union and it is estimated that 40% of residual waste is biowaste. Fortunately, it is possible to address environmental pressures and counteract resource loss from incineration by the process of bio-gasification of collected biowaste in Denmark. However, despite efforts to reduce barriers of convenience and accessibil
This study concerns materials logistics in the construction processes of complex building projects in urban developing areas, where the authors have carried out a case study on the future urban renewal project Oceanpiren, H+. Urban renewable projects can be regarded as a common category in construction, due to increasing urbanization followed by an enhanced demand. This type of project is often re
Since the Lisbon Treaty’s entering into force in 2009 it is stated in Article 6(2) TEU that the EU shall accede to the European Convention for the Protection of Fundamental Rights (ECHR). In the second sentence of the same article it is provided that “such accession shall not affect the Union’s competences as defined in the Treaties”. Attached to the Lisbon Treaty is also Protocol No 8 in which it
Uppsatsen handlar om barnets rätt att komma till tals i vårdnadsmål. Rätten fastställs i barnkonventionens artikel 12. Artikeln gäller som lag i Sverige sedan 2020. Enligt artikel 12 ska konventionsstaterna tillförsäkra det barn som är i stånd att bilda egna åsikter rätten att fritt uttrycka dessa i alla frågor som rör barnet. Vidare ska barnet i alla domstolsförfaranden och administrativa förfaraThe topic of the paper is the child's right to be heard in custody cases, as set out in Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention has been in force as law in Sweden since 2020. According to Article 12, States Parties shall assure a child capable of forming his or her own views, the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting the child. Furthermore
This master thesis report presents the results of evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å (river) at Ängelholm, located in south-west of Sweden within Scania. The main objectives cover building a hydrodynamic model, studying parameters that define sediment transport, modelling sediment transport within the river, mapping out erosive stretches and comparing to earlier observ
Conservation Voltage Reduction, or short just CVR, is a technique in which the reference voltage at a substation is lowered a few percent in order to conserve energy and decrease peak demand in an electrical distribution grid. Thus, CVR can be used when the energy or power capacity can't be satisfied by the feeding grid. Energy capacity has been a recurring topic in Sweden for a long time with
Title: Designing a new warehouse to improve space utilization and handling efficiency: A case study of a production warehouse Authors: Emil Niklasson, Erik Ramström Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Problem description: The focus on warehousing has grown in the industry during the 21st century to increase the compe
För under vilka förutsättningar stater kan reservera sig till vissa bestämmelser i traktat, som de ändock vill binda sig till, regleras framför allt i Wienkonventionens artikel 19. Stater får enligt denna artikel göra reservationer såvida inte: (a) en reservation är förbjuden enligt fördraget, (b) fördraget föreskriver att endast reservationer av visst slag får göras och reservationen inte är av dFor the conditions under which States may reserve themselves to certain provisions of a Convention, which they nevertheless wish to oblige themselves to, are regulated in Article 19 VCLT. States may make reservations under this Article unless: (a) a reservation is prohibited by the treaty, (b) the treaty provides that only reservations of a certain kind – and the reservation in question is not of
På avloppsreningsverk (ARV) som tillämpar kväverening är den vanligaste tekniken nitrifikation följt av denitrifikation. Denna process kräver omfattande luftning, vilket både är elintensivt och minskar mängden biogas som kan utvinnas. Anaerob ammoniumoxidation (anammox) är en alternativ reningsmetod som minskar luftningsbehovet genom att nitrit används som elektronacceptor istället för syre i oxidIn wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) which implement nitrogen removal, the most common process is nitrification followed by denitrification. This requires extensive aeration which comes at a large energy cost while at the same time reducing biogas potential. Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is an alternative treatment process that requires significantly less aeration by using nitrite as an
Sverige har haft stora framgångar inom skidåkningen där längdlandslaget har tagit många medaljer i olika mästerskap. Det finns ett stort intresse för skidåkning inte bara på elitnivå utan även bland vanliga motionärer. Ett sådant intresse skapar efterfrågan och behov av anläggningar och områden som möjliggör utövande. Skidåkning kan utövas på mer än ett sätt med varierande påverkan på det områdeIn Sweden skiing has been very popular for a long time. Due to the popularity there is a need for land to practice the sport. Cross- country skiing is one kind of skiing that is popular. If you want to go on a skiing tour you can either chose to make your own tracks or use tracks made by machines. When you make your own tracks the imprint that is left in nature is small. Tracks made by machines
