In 2015, LIBER commissioned the “Working group on Research and Education”. The goal was to collect best practices in library support to both education and research, in part by examining user survey data. As a first step the group started a European LibQUAL consortium, which was evaluated in 2016. As a second step, a survey sent to all 301 European LIBER university libraries asking questions pertai

Dupuytren's disease is a hereditary fibroproliferative disease commonly affecting the palmar fascia of the hand, which results in progressive and irreversibly fixed flexion contractures of the hand. It may occur in the sole of the foot or in the penis. Generally, treatment has been up against a high frequency of complications and recurrence, but promising results are reported from less invasive tr

Serier av dygnsnederbörd omfattande 89 år från Malmö, Halmstad och Göteborg har analyserats liksom dygnsnederbörd från 230 stationer i Skåne för perioden 1961–1990. Fördelning i rum och tid har undersökts liksomförhållanden mellan dygnsnederbörd och olika parametrar. Extremvärden har uppskattats med olika frekvensfördelningar. De allra största oberoende händelserna har inträffat ganska jämnt fördeSeries of daily precipitation including 89 years from Malmö, Halmstad and Göteborg have been analyzed aswell as daily precipitation from 230 stations in Skåne in the period 1961–1990. The distribution in space andtime has been investigated, and also the relation between daily rainfall and different parameters. The mostextreme independent events have occurred rather evenly distributed over Skåne, a

Writing the history of philosophy to some extent also implies expressing a certain philosophy of history. This article discusses a particular case of this dialectic, namely how one has related modern philosophy to pre-modern theological philosophies when writing the history of philosophy during the 20th Century. Is the emphasis put on the continuity or the interruptions between the two traditions,

On 18 August 2022, an extremely very local 45 minutes storm fell over Båstad. There are several observations close to or more than mm. In the summer 1937 there was a famous long-lasting rain, for which the daily value was 150 mm. During the summer 2007, there were many large rainstorms of around 75 mm. I compare the short-term 2022 storm with other large storms observed in Sweden, and I do the sam

Thromboembolism is a serious complication of surgery and prophylaxis is therefore recommended. This study examines a new aspect of the problem, the incidence of thromboembolism after day-case surgery. From 1982 to 1992, 2281 patients underwent day-case repair for inguinal hernia management. Hospital admission for thromboembolism within the first 30 days after surgery was identified by computer lin

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
