AbstractEyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision. The aim of this paper is to investigate the association between eyestrain and musculoskeletal strain, as well as the association between eyestrain and visual symptoms. Two regression analyses were conducted on subjective ratings Eyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision.

Aims:Research on the role of art in alleviating mental health problems has increased dramatically. However, it remains unclear whether mental health benefits of the arts are the same across different social contexts of arts participation. The aim of the study is to investigate associations between two modes of arts participation, solitary and group-based, and psychological wellbeing (12-item gener

The international humanitarian system has, since the 19th century, been activated during large-scale disasters when the capacities of the affected countries are overwhelmed. It comprises international humanitarian organizations (IHOs) and is funded by a variety of donors. Recently, this system has faced increasing criticism, mainly because of its failure to empower and include local and national a

Dermatan sulfate epimerase 1 (DS-epi1, EC 5.1.3.19) catalyzes the conversion of d-glucuronic acid to l-iduronic acid on the polymer level, a key step in the biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate. Here, we present the first crystal structure of the catalytic domains of DS-epi1, solved at 2.4 Å resolution, as well as a model of the full-length luminal protein obtained by a combinati

I denna AMM-rapport presenteras åtgärdsförslag som syftar till att förbättra skolledares arbetsmiljö. Rapporten är en del av forskningsprojektet ”Skolledares arbetsmiljö: Ett projekt om organisatoriska förutsättningar, stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa, personalrörlighet och förbättringspotential” som finansierats av AFA Försäkring (dnr 170094). Åtgärdsförslagen har samlats in med hjälp av enkäter, g

Missions are being discussed widely within the European Union and beyond as a tool to steer policy, innovation, and research. Similar to other missions – to the moon, to cure cancer, and to eradicate smallpox – the missions-oriented approach seeks to set bold and radical goals to tackle our pressing environmental and social challenges. In this episode, we discuss the missions-oriented approach for

Utility-scale solar parks are expanding rapidly in Sweden, yet without a nationally articulated strategic vision for solar power. As a result, coordination challenges emerge across technical–material, ecological–spatial, and institutional–procedural domains, with implications for how solar generation is integrated into regional and urban energy systems. This study examines how actors navigate this

Radiative lifetimes of 11 levels in Cd I belonging to the 5s5p ¹p^o₁ and 5snd ³D_1,2(n=6-9) and 5sns ³S₁ (n=7,8) series, and of 5 levels of Cd II belonging to the 4d¹⁰5p ²p^o_1/2,3/2, 4d¹⁰6s ²S_1/2, and 4d¹⁰5d ²D_3/2,5/2

Inflammation is a physiological response that may go uncontrolled and thereby develop in a chronic way. This seems to happen in many common diseases of autoimmune, degenerative, or allergic character. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is by definition a chronic disease with an autoimmune inflammatory attack on diarthrodial cartilaginous joints. The development of new treatment neutralizing cytokines invol

Low-lying excited states in the odd-odd N = Z nucleus 62Ga have been investigated following the heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reaction 40Ca(24Mg,pn)62Ga near the Coulomb barrier. Special emphasis is devoted to the search for nonyrast states. The extended decay scheme of 62Ga is compared to spherical shell-model calculations employing the pf5/2g9/2 valence space.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Industriell produktion av bärkonserver innefattar flera enhetsoperationer, vilka alla påverkar sensoriska så väl som näringsmässiga kvaliteter hos produkten. Upptiningen är ett speciellt kritiskt steg eftersom förändringar i både kemisk sammansättning och textur sker. Upptining av jordgubbar i designade lösningar visade att bärens fasthet såväl som viktsförlusterna gickThe industrial production of preserves includes several unit operations which all affects sensorial properties as well as the nutritional value of the final product. Thawing is a crucial unit operation, since then both chemical and physical changes take place. Thawing strawberries in selected aqueous media could gave both firmer strawberries and smaller weight loss than if air was used as the tha

It is shown that the isoscalar strength in the energy region just above the low energy threshold, which is created by exciting particles to the continuum in nuclei far from β-stability lines, can be reduced by the attractive coupling to isoscalar shape oscillations. This is in contrast to the well known fact that in β-stable nuclei low lying isoscalar particle hole strengths are always increased b

There is a class of oligodendrocyte progenitors, called O-2A progenitors, that is characterized by expression of platelet-derived growth factor &agr;-receptors (PDGFR(&agr;)). It is not known whether all oligodendrocytes are derived from these PDGFRalpha-progenitors or whether a subset(s) of oligodendrocytes develops from a different, PDGFR alpha-negative lineage(s). We investigated the re

Second cancers were studied among 68,104 cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. A total of 1,113 patients received a diagnosis of second CRC; 25 of them had a family history of CRC. Cases of second CRC with a family history were diagnosed up to 10 years before sporadic cases. The relative risk (RR) of all second CRCs was 2.21 compared with the first CRC. Familial

Hos friska kvinnor är akut cystit besvärande men ofarligt. Infektionen läker spontant, behandling förkortar tiden med symtom och ges i symtomlindrande syfte. Akut cystit är en bakteriell infektion i urinblåsans slemhinna och definieras som nytillkommen sveda, trängningar och ökad frekvens till vattenkastning samtidigt med bakterier i urinen. Diagnostiken i primärvården baseras
