Background: Long-term care for stroke survivors is fragmented and lacks an evidence-based, easy-to-use tool to identify persistent long-term problems among stroke survivors and streamline referral for treatment. We sought to develop a poststroke checklist (PSC) to help health care professionals identify poststroke problems amenable to treatment and subsequent referral. Methods: An instrument devel
High achievement in school has been associated with increased risk of eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), but causality of these relationships is unclear. We sought to examine the association between school achievement and AN or BN in a national cohort and to determine the possible contribution of familial confounding using a co-relative design.
This study examined variability of lip movements across repetitions of the same utterance as a function of age in Swedish speakers. The specific purpose was to extend earlier findings by examining variability in both phase and amplitude. Subjects were 50 typically developed native Swedish children and adults (28 females, 22 males, aged 5-31 years). Lip movements were recorded during 15-20 repetiti
In this paper the Dirichlet problem for a class of standard weighted Laplace operators in the upper half plane is solved by means of a counterpart of the classical Poisson integral formula. Boundary limits and representations of the associated solutions are studied within a framework of weighted spaces of distributions. Special attention is given to the development of a, suitable uniqueness theory
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of social capital on self-reported sense of insecurity in the neighbourhood. The public health survey in Malmö, Sweden in 1994 was a cross-sectional study. A total of 5600 individuals aged 20–80 years were asked to answer a postal questionnaire. The participation rate was 71%. A multilevel logistic regression model, with individuals at the fir
There is no doubt that information systems (IS) are the backbone of today’s organizations. Having an initial inspection on sourcing motives in the financial sector it can be stated that resources used in development of information systems (IS) are seen as an important factor for sustained competitive advantage. However, it can be claimed that it depends to a high extent on the application of diffe
It is common to use activities of daily living (ADL) rating scales to identify the impact of health problems such as diseases, impaired eyesight or hearing on daily life. However, for various reasons people with health problems might feel hindered in daily life before limitations in ability to perform ADL have occurred. In addition, there is sparse knowledge of what makes people feel hindered by h
The study aimed to find out the influence of sweating on footwear insulation with a thermal foot model. Simultaneously, the influence of applied weight (35 kg), sock and steel toe cap were studied. Water to 3 sweat glands was supplied with a pump at the rate of 10 g/h in total. Four models of boots with steel toe caps were tested. The same models were manufactured also without steel toe. Sweating

Under 1100-talets sista hälft fastställdes inom kanonisk rätt principen att makarnas samtycke ensamt är tillräckligt för att skapa ett giltigt äktenskap. Varken familj eller andra auktoriteter, inte ens kyrkliga, hade laglig bestämmanderätt över två personers giftermål. Ett äktenskap kunde ingås på två sätt, antingen genom verba de presenti, löfte för det nuvarande, som med omedelbar verkan skapa
The paper provides an exploratory empirical survey of Application Service Providers (ASPs) and their clients. The research question is: what do Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) base their decision on when adopting the ASP concept? The concept, ASP, consists of software vendors, and an ASP enterprise, which act as a third part firm in a business model. For its clients it forms a strategy t
