Background: It is known that chronic pain makes it difficult to lose weight, but it is unknown whether obese patients (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2) who experience significant pain relief after interdisciplinary multimodal pain rehabilitation (IMMPR) lose weight. Objective: This study investigated whether obese patients with chronic pain lost weight after completing IMMPR in specialist pain units. Th

The decarbonization of the energy-intensive and natural-resourced-based industries is associated with large economic costs. In this paper, I explore how decarbonization may affect the profitability and market value of these industries and their ability to attract capital to fund their decarbonization. I also discuss the possibility of compensating for the investment costs through higher prices and

Romer and Romer (2004) propose a simple method to estimate monetary policy shocks using forecasts and real-time data. However, such data is not always (publicly) available, especially in a historical context. We explore the consequences of using revised data instead of the original forecast and real-time data when estimating policy shocks using the Romer and Romer framework. To this end, we estima

The EU’s fiscal rules, set out in the Maastricht Treaty of 1993 and the Stability and Growth Pact of 1997, are anchored to GDP. The debt ceiling and the deficit threshold are set to 60 percent and 3 percent of GDP, respectively. Recently, prominent economists and policymakers, have argued that that the debt ceiling should be raised due to falling bond yields. By extension, this argument suggests a

Background: Disengagement from outdoor recreation may diminish the positive benefits on health and well-beingin old age. The purpose of this study is to present a contextual, theoretical, and empirical rationale for anintervention, aiming to promote continued engagement in outdoor recreation for older adults in a Swedishcontext.Methods: The paper includes a contextualization of outdoor recreation

This revised lecture highlights two aspects of listening in the Bible, that of listening as an obedient act of confession according to the Gospel of Matthew and that of listening to and interpreting the oral performance of Paul’s letter to the Romans. The former aspect is specific to the socio-religious commitment in ancient Israel and Judaism, including the Jewish Christ-believers, and identifiesThis revised lecture highlights two aspects of listening in the Bible, that of listening as an obedient act of confession according to the Gospel of Matthew and that of listening to and interpreting the oral performance of Paul’s letter to the Romans.

Sammanställningengår igenom i vilken mån honungsbins och vilda bins födoval överlappar.Dessutom redovisas i vilken mån studierna visar att honungsbin har effekt påvilda bins blombesök och reCompetition from honey bees on wild bees – effects, knowledge gaps and possible interventions.In this review, we have compiled the European emp irical evidence available in the scientific literature on the effects of honey bees on wild bees through competition for food resources. We have also inventoried ongoing initiatives in northern Europe concerning competition between honey bees and wild bees

The matched phase reassignment, developed to estimate phase synchrony of transient oscillatory signals, is extended into a multitaper phase reassignment (MTPR) method. The method gives perfect time-frequency localization for two transients with zero phase difference and estimates of time locations and oscillatory frequencies in low signal-to-noise ratios. For different signal-to-noise ratios betwe

In April, 2019, the author discovered that Archbishop Erling Eidem’s sermons and speeches, since 1966/1978, have been kept in the University library of Uppsala. This has been overlooked by all authors earlier dealing with Eidem, only using shortened summaries. In Lützen, on November 6, 1942, Eidem stated that »our Gustavus-Adolphuscelebration may not be characterized by national self-sufficiency a

Title. Contested streets. Political marches in Stockholm, 1887–1920.Abstract. Repertoires of contention change. It is clear that during the 19th and early 20th century, swedes learned to stage marches to make political claims, something that was virtually unknown in Sweden before the mid-19th century. At first, the oligarchy that held power in Sweden mostly accepted political marching in the stree
