Background Labels for neck pain after a motor vehicle crash (MVC) influenced recovery expectations and management preferences. Research is needed to understand why these expectations and preferences varied based on the label given. Aim To explore how people perceive different labels for neck pain after an MVC. Methods We performed a content analysis of qualitative data from a randomised controlled
Background: The diagnostic performance of the IOTA methods, the O-RADS lexicon, and the RMI has been validated in prospective and retrospective studies, but most validation studies tested the performance in the hands of experienced ultrasound examiners. Objective: To prospectively validate the performance of the Risk of Malignancy Index, the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis Simple Rules Risk M
The current novel study aims was to development and characterization of gum based (guar gum: almond gum) composite formulations with or without addition of oregano essential oils to extend the shelf life of okra at ambient condition. In this study, the optimized composite of guar gum: almond gum (75:25 V/V) prepared with addition of different concentrations (0.05, 0.1 and 0.15 % (V/V) of oregano e
This study explores sustainable energy renovation strategies for a congregation building in southern Sweden using a parametric optimization approach to balance passive and active measures. Passive measures include envelope and window improvements and leakage control, while active measures involve photovoltaic integration and ventilation enhancements. The renovation aims to optimize energy use, the
Hydrolysis rate constants of sludge at 35°C, 55°C, and 60°C were found to be 0.32 d-1, 0.44 d-1, and 0.50 d-1, respectively in pilot-scale experiments with digestion of municipal sludge in semi-continuously operated reactors. The hydrolysis rate constants as well as estimated chemical oxygen demand (COD) fractions in the feed were implemented in a mathematical model for anaerobic digestion similar
Anaerobic digestion would enable the energy potential of agricultural crop residues such as ley crops, sugar beet tops and straw to be harnessed in Sweden. These residues are so spread out that full utilisation of the potential by centralised slurry-based technology is difficult, its appearing that simple but effective high-solids reactor systems have a better chance of being economically viable o
Just like other newly introduced concepts such as 'science', 'culture', or 'religion', the widely used Chinese term for 'profession' – zhiye – has been established with its modern meaning only in the course of this century, especially after the foundation of the 'Chinese Society of Vocational Education' by Huang Yanpei in 1917. However, the term itself is not a new one, but is the product of ancie
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between retailer brand (RB) market shares and consumer prices. Furthermore it investigates whether changes in category price and expenditure are due to changes in customer purchase patterns or changes in relative price levels (price gap) of RBs and national brands (NBs). Data from the market research company GfK's consumer household panel, compr
In the interpretation of treaties, according to Article 31 of the 1969 Vienna Convention, interpreters shall pay primary regard to conventional language and to "relevant rules of international law applicable in the relations between the parties". Applying this provision, it is obvious that interpreters will sometimes face questions of an inter-temporal nature. What law or what language should be b

The paper treats encounters between Swedes and Germans within the framework of lodges and secret societies in Swedish-Pomerania during the 1760-ies.
This study aimed to examine perceived professional preparedness among social work students in their sixth and seventh semesters at Lund University, and to analyze statistical relationships between field placement supervision, students’ overall experiences of their field placement period, and professional preparedness. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach through a digital survey d
Drinking water distribution systems directly affect the quality of life, public health, and the reliability of essential water services. This study evaluates the hydraulic performance and operational efficiency of the Kirke Eskilstrup drinking water distribution network in Denmark using hydraulic modelling in MIKE+. Furthermore, a stakeholder value analysis was included to identify how the modelli
This thesis explores arguments and styles of argumentation in favour of Scotland gaining independence and rejoining the European Union in the aftermath of the United Kingdom leaving the EU in 2020. Since a majority of Scots did not support Brexit, it has provided Scottish independence supporters with a unique opportunity to bolster their arguments in the political debate. The thesis is built on a
