Abstract While outcome studies in pediatric obesity have received considerable attention, research on different components of effective interventions remains limited. Little is known which psychological method (i.e., behavior modification, cognitive behavior therapy and family therapy) is most useful or how the choice of program delivery (group/individual) influences the intervention outcomes. Gro
During 2011, ÅF launched a service called Green Business Screening (GBS) that provides a situation analysis of the overall environmental performance of a company. The model measures a company’s external and internal environmental integration and evaluates sustainability work through ten categories within a company, where the focus changes from internal categories to external categories. GBS is a g
Objectives: To find variables associated with outcome following thrombolytic treatment for acute lower limb ischemia. Design: Re-analysis of a prospective multicentre study. Material and methods: One hundred and twenty-one patients with acute lower limb ischemia previously included in a randomised study comparing high- with low-dose thrombolysis were re-analysed ignoring the mode of lytic treatmen
Nowadays, the number of people infected with HIV/AIDS keeps rising in many countries. How can this risk be managed in society is an issue that gains on relevance. This paper focuses on the topic, how risk is communicated to society in the case of HIV/AIDS in Germany. It also looks at what aspects are emphasized and if different social groups are represented. Two nation-wide campaigns in Germany fr
Drowning is the second global leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 1 to 14 years, and the fifth leading cause for people of all ages (excluding flood disasters and water transport incidents). Why is the risk of drowning so high? It is important to investigate existing situation: what are the reasons that create a danger, is there a main risk group, how the risk of drownin
Halvledarindustrin har en form av immaterialrätter avsedd särskilt för dem: Kretsmönsterrätter. Dessa introducerades i USA 1984 i syfte att skydda den amerikanska halvledarindustrin från konkurrens från östra Asien, huvudsakligen Japan. Den ersatte principen om nationell behandling med den materiella ömsesidighetsprincipen, som är normen inom immaterialrätt. Detta tillät USA att tvinga andra ländeThe semiconductor industry has a sui generis IP type dedicated to it: the semiconductor topography right. This right was introduced in 1984 with the purpose of protecting the U.S. semiconductor industry from East Asian, mainly Japanese, competition. It replaced the principle of treatment on a national basis that is the norm in IP law with one of material reciprocity, which allowed the U.S. to stro
This research investigates global adoption and suitability of phased evacuation strategies in multi-purpose residential buildings, blending a review of 33 codes and standards in 11 nations with simulation-based analysis of 30 phased evacuation scenarios. Findings from the review reveal a varied level of importance of phased evacuation worldwide, with Europe, particularly the United Kingdom, showin
The performed study is a qualitative case study of the company Business Sweden. An inductive research approach has been used where we started by observing Business Sweden and subsequently applied suitable theories. The aim with the paper is to describe and analyze the aspects of management control in a multinational hybrid organization, by observing the process of centralizing the responsibility o
Local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in female reproductive system is involved in many physiological and pathological processes, such as follicular development, ovarian angiogenesis, ovarian, and endometrial cancer progress. However, studies on the functional relevance of RAS in human endometrium are limited, especially for renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). In this study, we defined the

Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating, neurodegenerative condition, which lacks effective treatment. Normal Huntingtin (HTT) and mutant Huntingtin (mHTT) are expressed in multiple tissues and can alter transcription of microRNAs (miRs). Importantly, miRs are present in a bio-stable form in human peripheral blood plasma and have recently been shown to be useful biomarkers in other diseases. We
This article analyses the energy transition of the Swedish iron and steel industry (1800–1939), a leading actor in the European iron and steel market during the 19th and 20th centuries.This industry is an interesting case to analyse from the perspective of energy transition and the composition and change of capital stock (classified by energy technology). in-depth review of the this topic will ena
Delayed emission of protons following β decay of neutron deficient nuclei P26 and S27 was investigated at the ACCULINNA separator in the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions at Dubna. Ions of interest, identified in flight, were implanted into the active volume of the gaseous optical time projection chamber, which allowed us to record tracks of charged particles emitted in the decay. Total branc
