Background: Intermittent claudication requires treatment with secondary prevention to reduce disease progression and the risk of cardiovascular events and to improve quality of life. Health literacy and self-efficacy are important preconditions for the health behaviour changes necessary for adhering to secondary prevention. Aim: Evaluate health literacy in patients with intermittent claudication r
Objective: Emergency department (ED) staff need to rapidly establish accurate diagnosis and management for children with arrhythmias. Limited data are available on the presenting features, epidemiology and management of arrhythmias encountered in the ED. The aim of this study was to characterise the incidence, presenting features, management and outcomes of arrhythmias at a large tertiary children
The mechanism of band termination is discussed from the spherical shell model point of view, and the role of breaking nucleon pairs within a given j-shell configuration is stressed. Two main types of band terminations are discussed. In one type the band termination includes a sequence of states within an approximative seniority coupling scheme and therefore is smooth. In the other type the termina
This thesis combines quantitative, qualitative, and experimental approaches to address different aspects of distal radius fractures (DRFs) in the elderly.Study I was a registry-based cohort study of 5,536 DRF patients, of whom 259 (5%) sustained a concomitant distal metaphyseal ulna fracture. These patients, with a mean age of 73 years (SD 15), had nearly twice the odds of reporting severe symptom
Context. The analysis of precise Gaia DR3 astrometry in the LMC region has revealed asymmetric patterns in the bar quadrupole and the disc outskirts of the LMC in-plane velocity maps. Aims. We aim to quantify the asymmetries detected in the LMC radial and residual tangential velocity maps, and determine whether they are generated naturally due to the LMC’s interaction with the SMC. Methods. We ana
This chapter analyses floating charges in the Nordic countries, focusing on Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Nordic property laws are known for their functional approach, and while property law rules in the Nordic countries are generally fragmentary, Nordic security rights laws are more codified. The four Nordic countries all have floating charges (or equivalent security rights). The chapter d
This research explores the climate vulnerability of migrant farmworkers within the climate-sensitive commercial agriculture of the Mediterranean Basin, through a case study of Turkey. In Turkey a vast majority of the farmworkers belong to Kurdish and Arab ethnic groups, including internally displaced people (IDPs) and Syrians. Utilising a critical political economy approach to vulnerability and sy
In a few recent papers we introduced the chirality-flow formalism, which builds on the spinor-helicity formalism, but incorporates the Fierz identity into the Feynman rules. Calculations at tree level are thereby trivial, often to the extent that it is possible to immediately write down a tree-level Feynman diagram in terms of spinor inner products. This simplification persists in tree-level compu
Degrowth promises to make human life on earth sustainable but represents a radical change to the dominant paradigm, in which wellbeing is coupled with consumption. We draw on the idea that imagined futures perform the present, meaning that ecologically sustainable futures may be generated if marketers envision and “sell” them as desirable.
Many intracellular pathogens hijack host cell actin or its regulators for cell-to-cell spreading. In marked contrast, apicomplexan parasites, obligate intracellular, single cell eukaryotes that are phylogenetically older than the last common ancestor of animals and plants, employ their own actin cytoskeleton for active motility through tissues and invasion of host cells. A hallmark of actin-based
