Health and education are known to be highly correlated, but the mechanisms behind the relationship are not well understood. In particular, there is sparse evidence on whether adolescent health may influence educational attainment. Using a large registry dataset of twins, including comprehensive information on health status at the age of 18 and later educational attainment, we investigate whether h
Att vara soldat är väldigt fysiskt krävande, det viktigt att upprätthålla en god fysisk kapacitetsnivå för att klara sin tjänst. Vid militära operationer arbetar soldater på lägre fysiska kravnivåer under lång tid för att ibland gå upp på intensiva kravnivåer. Framgång vid militära operationer är ofta beroende på soldaternas fysiska kapacitet, rörlighet och förmågan att bära sin utrustning. Det är
This chapter discusses the implications of discrimination law for the use of post hoc interventions during recruitment processes that involve the ranking of job candidates. It argues that such interventions may assist employers in preventing direct and indirect discrimination by alerting recruiters, and others responsible for hiring decisions, to the fact that biases may have influenced the recrui
Background: Cognitive assessment for foreign-born individuals is suboptimal. The Multicultural Cognitive Examination (MCE) was developed for use in culturally, linguistically and educationally diverse populations. The MCE includes the Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale (RUDAS) and performs assessment of memory, verbal fluency, and visuospatial function. Objective: To compare the psychomet
Background: Geraniol is a widely used fragrance terpene, and is included in fragrance mix I. Geraniol is prone to autoxidation, forming the skin sensitizers geranial, neral, and geraniol-7-hydroperoxide. Oxidized geraniol has previously been patch tested in 1 clinic, giving 1% to 4.6% positive reactions in consecutive patients when tested at 2% to 11%. Aim: To compare test reactions to pure and ox
Objectives There is evidence that emergency department (ED) crowding is associated with increased mortality, however large multicenter studies of high quality are scarce. In a prior study, we introduced a proxy-measure for crowding that was associated with increased mortality. The national registry SVAR enables us to study the association in a more heterogenous group of EDs with more recent data.
