This cross-sectional study was done in order to ascertain whether there is a lifelong beneficial effect on bone mineral density (BMD) of early, long-lasting, and intense physical exercise. Forty-eight male ex-weight lifters, mean age 64 years (range 50-79) participated. They had followed a training program of an average of 10 hours/week (range 4-20) for an average of 13 years (range 1-34). They ha
The effect of reaction parameters on lipase-mediated chemo-enzymatic epoxidation of linoleic acid was investigated. Hydrogen peroxide was found to have the most significant effect on the reaction rate and degree of epoxidation. Excess of hydrogen peroxide with respect to the amount of double bonds was necessary in order to yield total conversion within a short time period, as well as at temperatur
In his “Dialogue about the Art of Portraiture” (1906), Viennese Art Historian Julius von Schlosser made the following critical observation of the behaviour of visitors in art museums:They [the public] are not interested in the portrait as an expression or disclosure of an artistic personality, but rather the actual human being, one can say, looming behind it, who is known to them in a very particu
This article examines the diffusion of meritocratic practices as a potential instance of policy transfer by scrutinizing the introduction of open and competitive examinations during the mid-nineteenth century in the British Civil Service. Scholars have argued that British reformers were inspired by meritocratic practices in British-ruled India. In order to assess this claim, we combine qualitative
Exposure levels to staff in interventional radiology (IR) may be significant and appropriate assessment of radiation doses is needed. Issues regarding measurements using physical dosemeters in the clinical environment still exist. The objective of this work was to explore the prerequisites for assessing staff radiation dose, based on simulations only. Personal dose equivalent, Hp(10), was assessed
Introduction/objective: Diagnostic delays in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are related to increased morbidity and mortality. The risk of a delayed, or even a missed, diagnosis is high as the conditions are rare. The aim was to describe patients’ and spouses’ experiences of the journey from the first symptom to an established diagnos
Background: In pediatric palliative care (PPC), there is a need to involve the child’s voice in situations regarding their symptoms and care needs. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) can be tools to systematically gather data reported from the child or a proxy if the child is not capable to self-report in order to provide the services they need. There has been a rapid development in PROM re
Previous research has acknowledged the effect of prosody on inter-gestural coordination, but specifically the effect of tones is still understudied. This paper has a two-fold purpose. First, it aims to explore effects of the Swedish word accents on word-initial consonant–vowel (CV) coarticulation. Second, it aims to revisit the existing evidence for tonal integration.

Introduction: Developing a national assistive products list is an important part of an assistive technology policy and requires knowledge of total population need, and product costs and benefits; information is not always readily available in low-income countries. Our experience in Tajikistan of developing a national assistive products list provides guidance for others. Methods: Two hundred people
The objective of this work was to examine the atazanavir-bilirubin relationship using a population-based approach and to assess the possible application of bilirubin as a readily available marker of atazanavir exposure. A model of atazanavir exposure and its concentration-dependent effect on bilirubin levels was developed based on 200 atazanavir and 361 bilirubin samples from 82 patients receiving
Isomeric states in the semimagic Sn128-130 isotopes were populated in the fragmentation of a Xe-136 beam on a Be-9 target at an energy of 750 A.MeV. The decay of an isomeric state in Sn-128 at an excitation energy of 4098 keV has been observed. Its half live has been determined to be T-1/2 = 220(30) ns from the time distributions of the delayed gamma rays emitted in its decay. gamma gamma coincide
Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka om, och i vilken utsträckning, ohövligt beteende tar sig uttryck hos blåljuspersonal i en svensk kontext. Studien ämnade även att undersöka förekomst av psykologisk trygghet samt grad av arbetsengagemang hos blåljuspersonal, och vidare om ohövligt beteende har något samband med hur arbetssituationen upplevs utifrån dessa variabler. Detta för att bid
Sverige är en rättsstat som bygger på många olika principer för att kunna för-säkra ett fungerade rättsväsende. En viktig sådan är principen om domens orubblighet. De domar som en domstol meddelar ska stå fast när dessa vunnit laga kraft, vilket kallas för en doms negativa rättskraft. Vidare har de mänsk-liga rättigheterna som inkorporerats i svensk lagstiftning genom EKMR en stor plats vid lagstiSweden is a state governed by the rule of law, and is based on many different principles in order to ensure a functioning justice system. An important prin-ciple is that the rulings from the courts should be adamant, also known as the principle of firmness. The ruling of the court shall stand when it has gained legal force and this is also known as the negative legal force of a judgment. The human
In this thesis I conduct a study on the real-world artworks exhibited in the museum in the Nintendo Switch game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The in-game museum features an art exhibition consisting of virtual recreations of 43 different artworks from the 19th century all the way back to ancient times. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the museum as a phenomenon is portrayed in the
In this thesis, I investigate the socio-legal experiences of ethnic Russians in Estonia and also review their practical implications. In particular, I explore the following research question – What are the main challenges and possibilities for socio-legal integration of Russian minorities in Estonia? For this purpose, I conducted sev
This work studies the practice of school trips to the memorial sites of the Holocaust with the aim of investigating how history is used in order to form tolerance among the participating students. The study employs a theoretical foundation of practice theory and literature on the academic debate on learning from the past. Thematic analysis is used for analyzing commonalities and differences in 7 i
Den offentliga sektorn är en stor aktör på många olika marknader. Offentliga inköp görs varje år för betydande summor i Sverige. Det offentliga upphandlingsförfarandet styr dessa inköp och regleras framförallt i LOU. Ett upphandlingsförfarande bygger på tanken att låta leverantörer konkurrera om offentliga kontrakt på ett öppet, likvärdigt och konkurrensneutralt sätt. De svenska upphandlingsbestämThe public sector is a major operator on numerous different markets. In Sweden public purchases are made for great amounts every year. The public procurement procedure is governing these purchases and is mainly regulated in LOU. A procurement procedure is based on the idea to let contractors compete for public contracts in an open, equal and competitively neutral way. The Swedish public procuremen
