Background: Diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscle is a common condition. There are no generally accepted criteria for diagnosis or treatment of diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscle, which causes uncertainty for the patient and healthcare providers alike. Methods: The consensus document was created by a group of Swedish surgeons and based on a structured literature review and practical exper
This paper revisites the direct synthesis tuning method of continuous-time low-order controllers, and specially PID controllers, for control of time-delayed single-input single-output processes. A setpoint prefilter is included to improve the servo response and integrating load disturbances are accounted for. Robustness is addressed by the feedback controller to obtain the desired maximum sensitiv
This paper presents a closed-form quite handy formula for the local thermal resistance Rb between the temperature of the bulk heat-carrier fluid in the pipes, equally spaced on a concentric circle inside a circular energy pile, and the mean temperature at the periphery of the pile. The so-called multipole method is used to calculate the temperature field. An important improvement of the multipole
A search for a chargino-neutralino pair decaying via the 125 GeV Higgs boson into photons is presented. The study is based on the data collected between 2015 and 2018 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. No significant excess over the expected background is observed. Upper limits at 95% conf
The γ-ray emission from the nuclei 62,64Fe following Coulomb excitation at bombarding energy of 400-440 AMeV was measured with special focus on E1 transitions in the energy region 4-8 MeV. The unstable neutron-rich nuclei 62,64Fe were produced at the FAIR-GSI laboratories and selected with the FRS spectrometer. The γ decay was detected with AGATA. From the measured γ-ray spectra the summed E1 stre
Lactone flavors with fruity, milky, coconut, and other aromas are widely used in the food and fragrance industries. Lactones are produced by chemical synthesis or by biotransformation of plant-sourced hydroxy fatty acids. We established a novel method to produce flavor lactones from abundant non-hydroxylated fatty acids using yeast cell factories. Oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was engineere
The potential for replacing the fossil-based Polyoxymethylene (POM) and Polyamide 66 (PA 66) in polymer gear applications with a bio-based Polyamide 6.10 (PA 6.10) was studied and is presented in the article. The use of bio-based plastics is increasing but mostly in undemanding applications like packaging. High-performance plastics are needed in polymer gear transmissions since their operational c
There has been a rapid rise in papers modelling the impacts of autonomous vehicles. Drawing on a review of this literature, we analyse and discuss the messages conveyed by these studies from a policy-making perspective. An overview of the studies is provided to highlight the different policy frames. We consider the roles that modelling knowledge should have in policy-making in the context of unsta
This master’s thesis examines the motives of non-aligned, geographically peripheral and smaller European Union (EU) Member States (MS) Finland, Sweden and Ireland to participate in EU military crisis management operations. It also studies the effects that these MS have had in the development of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). Theoretically this thesis is based on a typology that Aly
Intranasal drug delivery is a practical and accessible method for treating localized symptoms as well as achieving systemic drug absorption. The approach takes advantage of the permeability, vascularization, and limited enzymatic activity of nasal tissue, leading to enhanced drug absorption. Moreover, drugs can bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly reach the brain through the olfactory route
This analytical essay critically examines how social sustainability is constructed within Lund’s municipality district development program for Norra Fäladen. The existing research widely acknowledges that sustainable development and social sustainability are characterized by conceptual ambiguity and a lack of consensus regarding definition and measurement. Despite this, they are leading concepts f
This essay examines how masculinity is negotiated through equestrian symbolism in Nicholas Evans’s The Horse Whisperer (1995) and Jilly Cooper’s Riders (1985), situating both novels within the cultural context of late twentieth-century neoliberal Britain and the United States. Drawing on masculinity studies, neoliberal theory, and animal symbolism, the essay argues that the horse functions as a ce
A need for autonomous electro-mechanical machines performing tasks that can save human efforts and even be deployed in hazardous environments along with the research in the field of human mind and body has led to new fields often called AI Robotics. To provide a mean for stimulating students and researchers around the world for promotion of this new field, an annual world championship, Robocup, ha
Som en effekt av den globala strävan som syftar till att motverka klimatförändringar som tillskrivs ökande koldioxidnivåer i atmosfären försöker man hitta okonventionella sätt att minska koldioxidutsläpp. CCS anses vara en metod med stor potential för detta syfte vilket har föranlett en världsomspännande prospektering av platser som kan användas för geologiskt lagring av koldioxid. Detta arbete As a part of a global attempt to mitigate impending climate change owing to increasing atmospheric CO₂levels unconventional methods which may reduce CO₂ emissions are extensively researched. Carbon Capture and Storage,(CCS) is considered to be a promising method for this purpose. As a consequence, worldwide prospection of geological sites in which CO₂ may be stored is currently underway. This th
The mass production of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) is expected to start in the coming years. Climate change, peak oil and the automotive and economic crisis have put a significant pressure on the current transportation regime. Increasing urbanisation, range and efficiency advantages of PEVs in city traffic and the problem of urban air pollution have moved cities into the focus of PEV dissemin
The Swedish district heating market is becoming increasingly saturated, whilst the UK heat market is about to run into copious turmoil due to the faltering and decreasing levels of natural gas available. Swedish companies are looking to enter new market segments, and there seems to be something stirring under the surface in terms of district heating in the UK. The development of district heating i
The study was conducted through an abductive approach and a qualitative research strategy using a hermeneutic epistemological stance. The data was collected using interviews and respondents selected with a purposive sample technique. With interviews as a data collection technique, we have gathered data from five respondents representing larger listed companies, auditors from the four largest audit
