In a sample of 51 teenagers with anorexia nervosa (AN)-which included 24 cases constituting the total population of AN cases born in 1970-several had shown social, communicative and behaviour patterns suggestive of autistic-like conditions as children, long before the onset of AN. One of the three boys in the AN group had Asperger syndrome. Three of the 48 girls had histories suggesting high funct

Background: Physiotherapy is usually the first line of treatment for musculoskeletal disorders. If pain persists, an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon is indicated, but many disorders for which patients are placed on orthopaedic waiting lists cannot be treated in an orthopaedic clinic. Specialised manual therapy, although not mainstream, can be an effective alternative to orthopaedic care, a
Questions: Does intraspecific extension of Bergmann's rule - larger size within a species in cooler areas - hold true for ectotherms in general, and for the common frog (Rana temporaria) in particular? What is the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors (i.e. direct environmental induction) in determining latitudinal patterns of body size variation in common frogs? Methods: We tes
This paper aims to answer the following research question: “To what degree do informal institutions influence the business strategy of developed multinational enterprises in China?” By using the comparison of existing literature and two primary interviews from strategic professionals, we were able to discover the most important factors for DMNEs to consider when entering China. The Uppsala Mode
Issues of sustainability, resilience, and risk management are linked to how the tourism industry and researchers respond to future ICT risk, known as “the year 2038 problem” (Y2K38). The tourism industry coped with similar but smaller risk, the Y2K “millennium bug” but lessons have not been learned. The paper presents an account of the lack of preparedness to ICT bugs and concludes that a cycle of
Objectives: Despite improved treatment strategies for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), some patients do not respond satisfactorily. The aim of this study was to investigate the course and outcome of early RA diagnosed during the 1990s and followed for 8 years with a focus on those who did not respond well to treatment. Method: This study included 640 patients (66% women) who were enrolled in the BARFOT
Introduction: Homecare services are limited, and there is likely a gap between the everyday activities homecare users want to do and the activities they perform or receive help with. Structured assessment on the desire for engaging in activities may be useful to identify unmet occupational needs.Aim: To reflect on the experiences of using the Occupational Gaps Questionnaire (OGQ) to investigate ho
Personers reaktioner har studerats genom experimentella studier samt i genomgång av litteraturen. I denna undersökning har valet av utrymningsväg vid en simulerad brand studerats utifrån olika förutsättningar vad avser avstånd till utrymningsvägen och om dörren var öppen eller stängd. En andra del i försöket studerade hur personer reagerade och uppfattade situationen om en liten brand befann sig mHow people react on fire alarm have been studied in retrospect as well as in experiments. In the present study, the choice of exit was examined with respect to the distance to exits and open or closed emergency exit. The second part covers the question on how the subjects think and react in a situation having a small fire in the escape route. The third part deals with some communication aspects re
Along a stream, we investigated whether the abundance of stone loach (Barbatula barbatula, L.) was related to the presence of brown trout (Salmo trutta, L.) and instream habitat variables. First, a field survey was carried out where different habitat variables and the densities of both species were quantified and subjected to principal components analysis. Then the abundance of stone loach was rel
Cash transfer programs have been shown to be a successful tool in reducing poverty by multinational impact analysis. However, if they are able to affect gender dynamics remains a debated topic. Critics claim that the programs may reinforce traditional gender roles whilst others mean that increasing women’s income with a cash transfer is empowering. This study investigates the Child Support Grant i
This thesis explores how business angels’ (BA’s) human- and financial capital contribute to the early-stage development of start-ups. While previous literature has extensively discussed BAs' financial roles, the combined effect of both capital types, particularly in relation to relational trust, remains underexplored. Addressing this gap, the study applies a qualitative approach, interviewing
Free movement of goods is regulated by Article 28 of The EC Treaty. The most important judgments of European Court of Justice (ECJ) in this field are Dassonville, Cassis de Dijon and Keck. The interpretation of Article 28 was very broad in Dassonville and Cassis cases therefore the national rules which were designed for social policy reasons, but not for controlling the trade between Member States
Market and policy pressures increasingly demand a shift towards sustainable means of production; thereby, the inconclusive and long-standing debate between the impact of environmental efforts and economic performance at the firm level has never been so relevant. However, companies who seek to prioritize sustainability on their processes and outputs still need to focus on their financial returns.
This paper analyzes the long-term effects of potentially avoidable cesarean sections on children’s health. Using Finnish administrative data, we document that physicians perform more unplanned C-sections during their regular working hours on days that precede a weekend or public holiday and use this exogenous variation as an instrument for C-sections. We supplement our instrumental variables resul
This research examines the practices of consumers that are made possible by a 'low-end' street, and how these shopping practices in turn shape and maintain a high street at the urban margins. It locates itself within the academic inquiries of cultural geographies of retail.Södergatan is the field of the study, the main shopping street in the stigmatized southern part of city of Helsingborg in Swed
In Brazil, the northeastern region (NEB) is considered one of the most vulnerable areas of the country in terms of precipitation variability due to frequent drought episodes during the rainy season. Differently from the Northern NEB (NNEB), where dry season is consistently dry, the Eastern NEB (ENEB) exhibits a high interannual variability of precipitation during the dry season, including years ex
We prove that there are 3-conjunctive normal form formulas over n variables that can be refuted in resolution in width w but require resolution proofs of size nΩ(w). This shows that the simple counting argument that any formula refutable in width w must have a proof in size nO(w) is essentially tight. Moreover, our lower bound generalizes to polynomial calculus resolution and Sherali-Adams, implyi
