Background: It is not known whether the recently described break in the trend in hip fracture incidence in many settings applies in both women and men, depends on changes in bone mineral density (BMD) or changes in other risk factors, or whether it is apparent in both urban and rural settings. Methods: We evaluated changes in annual hip fracture incidence from 1987 to 2002 in Swedish men aged >= 6

For the Geneva motor show 2006 I created a special Trim and Colour for Pininfarina’s three production cars. Trim and Colour means the complete design of materials and colours used in the car exterior and interior. In my diploma work I explored the possibility to unite the image of three different cars by the use of material and colours. I analysed the exhibition environment in which they were to

The main purpose of the project has been to find the root cause to the failure of a machine component used to secure some vital parts (later on referred to as the pins) of a packing machine. It was already known that the failure had to do with fatigue, but the actual mechanisms were quite unknown. Measurements on the components did not indicate forces that should lead to failure. The components of

I Smålands hjärta i närheten av Alvesta finns ett skogsområde vid namn Aringsås. Tidigare expansioner av Alvesta har inneburit att delar av Aringsås kalhuggits och markberetts för att ge plats åt villaområden med nyckelfärdiga hus. Nu ska i stället ett nytt bostadsområde växa fram i samspel med naturen, skogen ska lämnas orörd i den mån det går. Husen ska byggas av trä och förankras i småländskt hIn the heart of Småland, near Alvesta, there is a forest area called Aringsås. Previous expansions of Alvesta have meant that parts of Aringsås were cleared of trees, and the terrain flattened to make room for residential areas with turnkey houses. Now, a new residential area will emerge in interplay with nature. The forest will be left untouched as far as possible. The buildings will be construct

In recent years, mobile phones and GPS have become increasingly common tools for people working in elderly care. In the home care service, the mobile phone is now completely central to planning who will do what and when. The aim of the study was to investigate how home care staff shape their view of care work in the light of the mobile phones they use. The method chosen for this study was qualitiv

We present the discovery and confirmation of two new transiting giant planets from the Kepler extended mission K2. K2-260 b is a hot Jupiter transiting a V = 12.7 F6V star in K2 Field 13, with a mass and radius of M = 1.39-0.06+0.05 M⊙ and R = 1.69 ± 0.03 R. The planet has an orbital period of P = 2.627 d, and a mass and radius of MP = 1.42-0.32+0.31 MJ and RP = 1.552-0.057+0.048 RJ. This is the f

Atmospheric inversions are widely used to evaluate and improve inventories of methane (CH4) emissions across scales from global to local, combining observations with atmospheric transport models. This study uses the dense network of in situ stations of the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) to explore how well in situ data can constrain European CH4 emissions. Following the concept of int

The Circular Economy (CE) concept is widely promoted as a pathway to sustainability, yet its practical realization can appear to be challenging and unclear due to divergent definitions, interpretations and understanding about the implications and goals of a realized CE. Addressing this gap, this study develops the Circular Economy Loop Strategies (CELS) Framework, a synthesizing foundational model

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for atherothrombotic complications but is often asymptomatic and undiagnosed. This study aimed to develop a machine learning model to distinguish between individuals with low and high risk of AF, using routinely collected diagnostic data from Swedish primary health care. Methods: Cases (n = 42,607, aged ≥ 45 years) with diagnosed new onse

Background: Preoperative inflammation might cause and also be a marker for anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer. Available biomarker indices such as the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) or the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) may be clinically useful for leakage assessment. Methods: Patients who underwent anterior resection for rectal cancer during 2014–2

Carefully selecting the right collection datastructure can significantly improve the performance of a Java program. Unfortunately, the performance impact of a certain collection selection can be hard to estimate.To assist developers there are tools that recommend collections to use based on static and/or dynamic information about a program. The majority of existing collection selection tools for J

The aggregating proteoglycans (aggrecan, versican, neurocan, and brevican) are important components of many extracellular matrices. Their N-terminal globular domain binds to hyaluronan, but the function of their C-terminal region containing a C-type lectin domain is less clear. We now report that a 90-kDa protein copurifies with recombinant lectin domains from aggrecan and versican, but not from t

Background: High-risk alcohol consumption among university students is well documented. Several types of intervention have proved to be effective in reducing alcohol consumption. This study examines the 2-year outcome of 2 different alcohol intervention programs at university halls of residence. Methods: Ninety-eight university halls of residence (with 556 students) were cluster randomized to 2 d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arsenik (As) finns i grundvatten på många platser i världen, och mer än 100 miljoner människor världen över exponeras dagligen för As via dricksvatten. Kronisk exponering för As kan orsaka bl.a. cancer, hjärt-kärlsjukdom och diabetes. När As omsätts (metaboliseras) i kroppen bildas flera olika omsättningsprodukter (metaboliter) emellan vilka giftigheten skiljer sig åt. Over 100 million people around the world are exposed to high concentrations of arsenic (As) in drinking water, associated with a number of adverse health effects such as skin, lung and bladder cancer, vascular diseases and diabetes. In humans, As is metabolized via alternating reduction and methylation reactions, from inorganic As (iAs) into monomethylated (MMA) and dimethylated As (DMA). The most

Background: Despite the fact that HIV-positive women carry an increased risk of developing cervical cancer (CC) in comparison with HIV-negative women, HIV and CC screening programs in many developing countries have remained unintegrated. The objective of this study is to explore perceptions and preferences of community members in Uganda, including women, men, and village health teams, regarding th
