Two widely used sustainability standards for coffee, the Fair Trade Coffee sustainability standard and
OBJECTIVE: To prospectively describe self-reported outcomes up to 5 years after total knee replacement (TKR) in Osteoarthritis (OA) and to study which patient-relevant factors may predict outcomes for pain and physical function (PF). METHODS: 102 consecutive patients with knee OA, 63 women and 39 men, mean age 71 (51-86) assigned for TKR at the Department of Orthopaedics at Lund University Hospita
Abstract in UndeterminedBackground: The software development environment is growing increasingly complex, with a greater diversity of stakeholders involved in product development. Moves towards global software development with onshoring, offshoring, insourcing and outsourcing have seen a range of stakeholders introduced to the software development process, each with their own incentives and unders
Background: Severe asthma increases the risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes such as hospitalization and death. However, more studies are needed to understand the association between asthma and severe COVID-19. Methods: A cohort of 150,430 adult asthma patients were identified in the Swedish National Airway Register (SNAR) from 2013 to December 2020. Data on body mass index, smoking habits, lung funct
Aims/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to explore the utility of islet autoantibody (IAb) levels for the prediction of type 1 diabetes in autoantibody-positive children. Methods: Prospective cohort studies in Finland, Germany, Sweden and the USA followed 24,662 children at increased genetic or familial risk of developing islet autoimmunity and diabetes. For the 1403 who developed IAbs (523 of
Background: Mobile app-based tools have the potential to yield rapid, cost-effective, and sensitive measures for detecting dementia-related cognitive impairment in clinical and research settings. At the same time, there is a substantial need to validate these tools in real-life settings. The primary aim of this study was thus to evaluate the feasibility, validity, and reliability of mobile app-bas
Atmospheric measurements of the short-lived radioactive noble gas radon-222 (222Rn) have many applications. Its concentrations are driven by atmospheric mixing as well as seasonal variations, which follow the seasonality of 222Rn exhalation from continental soils, with lower values during the wet winter and spring months compared to more dry summer conditions. Hence, it can be used as a tracer to
Weight-related discussions during childhood may have long-lasting effects on children’s body image and well-being. However, little is known about how parents frame these discussions with children who have undergone treatment for obesity. Our study aimed to explore how parents perceive weight-related discussions, several years after their children started obesity treatment. This qualitative study i
BACKGROUND: Neck pain remains a persistent challenge in modern society and is frequently encountered across a wide range of occupations, particularly those involving repetitive and monotonous tasks. It might be expected that patterns of trapezius muscle activity at work, characterized by few breaks and prolonged periods of sustained muscle activity, are linked to neck pain. However, previous cross
Mycket forskarmöda har ägnats åt den stora reduktionen i början av 1680-talet, då den svenska adelns förläningar drogs in till kronan och maktbalansen skiftade till den enväldige kungens fördel. Denna forskning har framför allt behandlat den politiska och ekonomiska utvecklingen, ofta ur ett elitperspektiv. Andra gruppers agerande och levda verklighet har sällan blivit belysta, vilket inte minst gA large body of scholarly work has been dedicated to the Swedish reduction in the early 1680s when fiefs granted to the nobility were revoked as the crown strengthened its position. However, this research has focused on political and economic developments from an elite perspective. Insufficient attention has been paid to the actions and lived realities of other groups, not least the servants of th
Objectives To compare the treatment effectiveness of secukinumab in radiographic (r) versus non-radiographic (nr) axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients treated in routine care across Europe. Methods Prospectively collected data on secukinumab-treated axSpA patients with known radiographic status were pooled from nine countries. Remission rates based on patient-reported outcomes (PROs; Numeric R
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a commonly found recalcitrant and toxic groundwater contaminant that resists degradation, bioaccumulates, and has a potential for long-range environmental transport. Taking proper actions to deal with the pollutant accounting for the life cycle consequences requires a better understanding of its behavior in the subsurface. We recognize the huge potential for enhancing de
Abstract Ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen are four widelyused anti-inflammatory drugsthat areproduced in several kilotons each year.They end up in natural water recipients which couldvary inpH from around 6.0 to 9.0. Bearing in mind that most of thesepharmaceuticals are weak acids and therefore dissociates in different degree depending on surroundingpH and the chemical’s pKa, we ca
Den svenska familjerättsliga regleringen har sedan länge präglats av strävan att söka tillgodose barnets intresse i relation till föräldrarna. Ett tydligt uttryck för denna strävan finner man i föräldrabalkens 6 kap. 2 a § där det stadgas att barnets bästa ska vara avgörande för alla beslut om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. En ytterligare strävan i den familjerättsliga regleringen har varit att sökaSwedish family law has long been governed by the aspiration to accommodate the interests of the child, rather than that of the parents. A distinct expression of this aspiration can be found in a provision of the Swedish Children and Parents code, 6 chapter § 2 a. In this provision it is stated that the best interests of the child shall be the determining factor in all decisions regarding custody,
This essay discusses the Nordic region Bohuslän the decade after it became "Swedish" in 1658, during what I call the region's "transition period". The wide cause of the study is to show how the traditional understanding of this state shift (and of state shifts in general) need to be problemized and understood in the light of the state conditions of Early Modern Europe. By e
Denna uppsats undersöker hur bedömningen av ”laga förfall” görs då en part inte kan ta sig till Sverige från utlandet för att delta vid sin huvudförhandling. Den redogör även för hjälpmedel som kan användas för att underlätta för en frånvarande part att delta vid huvudförhandlingen samt utreder hur den svenska bedömningen av laga förfall förhåller sig till rätten till en rättvis rättegång och i syThis essay examines how the assessment of “lawful excuse” is made when a party is unable to travel to Sweden from abroad to attend their main hearing. It also presents means which can be used to help an absent party to attend the main hearing and examines how the evaluation of lawful excuse made by Swedish courts corresponds to the right to a fair trial and in particular the right to attend and th
This thesis explores the anti-media populist discourse of the current Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, with which he harshly targets Slovak mainstream media to delegitimize them and their critical reporting. This practice, which Fico has been engaging in for many years, was originally considered problematic mainly due to its potentially detrimental consequences for trust in the media among many
This thesis addresses the legal protection afforded to a new separate branch of intellectual property law commonly referred to as geographical indications. Simply put a geographical indication is a label of origin designed to protect goods originating from a particular area with specific qualities connected to the region in question. Protection is granted for the whole region letting any company w
In the field of educational psychology are two type of learning approaches commonly mentioned; deep learning and surface learning. These two learning approaches contains methods used by the students, for instance, memorizing (surface learning) and hypothesize (deep learning). Several previously performed studies showed a connection between a high academic level, good grades and a high usage of the
Vissa hävdar att i dagens digitala samhälle är personuppgifter den mest eftertraktade råvaran, på samma sätt som oljan var för 100 år sedan. Det nu gällande dataskyddsdirektivet som har införlivats genom PUL i Sverige anses inte längre uppnå den skyddsnivå som krävs för att skydda personuppgifter och samtidigt följa med i det innovativa samhället. Den 25 maj 2018 införs istället den nya dataskyddsSome claim that in today's digital society personal data is the most sought-after commodity, just like oil was 100 years ago. The current regulations available for the purpose of protecting peoples’ data is no longer considered enough to protect peoples’ personal integrity. On 25 May 2018, the new General data protection regulation will be introduced with the aim of creating a strong and coher
