OBJECTIVES: To investigate and characterize the influence of sex, age, muscle strength, and cardiovascular fitness on manual lifting patterns using exposure variation analysis (EVA) during a full working day among blue-collar workers.METHODS: Muscular activity (surface electromyography [sEMG]) of the thigh, low-back, and shoulder was measured throughout the working day in 173 employees with manual
Background: In hereditary angioedema (HAE), low levels (type 1) or defect in function (type 2) of the serine-protease inhibitor C1 Inhibitor protein results in activation of the classical pathway of the complement system as well as the contact system. Here, we investigated the risk of comorbidities in HAE. Methods: Individuals with HAE (n = 239; identified through a physician made diagnosis) and a
Malaria and helminthic co-infection during pregnancy causes fetomaternal haemorrhage and foetal growth retardation. This study determined the pooled burden of pregnancy malaria and helminthic co-infection in sub-Saharan Africa. CINAHL, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were used to retrieve data from the literature, without restricting language and publication ye
Background: Recent experiments have confirmed that the neutron-rich isotopes F28,29 belong to the so-called island of inversion (IOI), a region of the nuclear chart around Z=10 and N=20 where nuclear structure deviates from the standard shell model predictions due to deformation and continuum effects. However, while the general principles leading to the IOI are relatively well understood, the deta
The present study experimentally demonstrates a novel design for an internal endwall in a two-pass duct heat exchanger. An array of delta-winglet vortex generator pairs with different aspect ratio, angle of attack, configuration are mounted on the internal endwall in a U duct. Liquid crystal thermalgraphy and static pressure measurements are utilized in this study to evaluate the heat transfer, th
Cell culture techniques are strongly connected with modern scientific laboratories and production facilities. Thus, choosing the most suitable medium for the cells involved is vital, not only directly to optimise cell viability but also indirectly to maximise the reliability of the experiments performed with the cells. Fetal bovine or calf serum (FBS or FCS, respectively) is the most commonly used
Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow (UNE) frequently affects people of working age. Surgically treated patients may not immediately return to work (RTW) postoperatively. In 2008, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency reformed the national insurance policy. We aimed to examine RTW postoperatively for UNE, variations among surgical methods, and potential risk factors for prolonged RTW (sick leave > 6
Some microorganisms, like the aerobic soil bacteria, Oligotropha carboxidovorans, have the capability to oxidize the highly toxic atmospheric gas carbon monoxide (CO) into CO2 through CO dehydrogenase enzymes, whose active site contains a bimetallic MoCu center. Over the last decades, a number of experimental and theoretical investigations were devoted to understanding the mechanism of CO oxidatio
Background and Purpose: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is a novel age-related risk factor for cardiovascular disease-related morbidity and mortality. The association of CHIP with risk of incident ischemic stroke was reported previously in an exploratory analysis including a small number of incident stroke cases without replication and lack of stroke subphenotyping. The purp
The increased interest in utilizing lignin as a feedstock to produce various aromatic compounds requires advanced chemical analysis methods to provide qualitative and quantitative characterization of lignin samples along different technology streamlines. However, due to the lack of commercially available chemical standards, routine quantification of industrially relevant lignin oligomers in comple
The purpose of this article is to analyze and compare some of the popular, and yet marginalized apocalyptic narratives in contemporary Muslim and Christian thought. Obviously, the two traditions have many things in common and yet there is an apparent antagonism between them. In order to further investigate into the tensions between Muslim and Christian apocalypticism, this article will focus on ho
Background: Previous research suggests that interactions between preschool teachers and children in early care and educational contexts can contribute to the child’s positive attachment development and socioemotional adjustment. Objective: Investigate how the transition process to preschool is organized and whether various ways of organizing it may differently influence family–teacher relationship
Aromatic residues form a significant part of the protein core, where they make tight interactions with multiple surrounding side chains. Despite the dense packing of internal side chains, the aromatic rings of phenylalanine and tyrosine residues undergo 180° rotations, or flips, which are mediated by transient and large-scale “breathing” motions that generate sufficient void volume around the arom
En marknadsföringsguide till Inbound Marketing En kvantitativ enkätstudie om konsumenters självrapporterade upplevelser av marknadsföringsstrategier i relation till högengagemangsprodukter online. Det primära syftet med studien var att undersöka hur marknadsföringskonceptet Inbound Marketing påverkar det digitala konsumentbeteendet i relation till högengagemangsprodukter. För att besvara studiensA marketing guide to Inbound Marketing A quantitative survey of consumers' self-reported experiences of marketing strategies in relation to high-engagement products online. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate how the concept of Inbound marketing affects Digital Consumer Behavior in relation to high-engagement products. To answer the purpose of the study, a research question w
This text serves as a fresh approach to the study of Roman influence on the Scandinavian region. This is achieved through the medium of various bronze statuettes, both from the Roman Empire itself as well as in the form of locally-produced anthropomorphic figures. The study concentrates on four specific regions of Europe; Italy, southern Britain, Denmark, and southern Sweden. All of these areas ma
When we look into adolescents sexual behavior and selling of sex, we can see that there has been a greater interest for girls than for boys. We can also see historically that there has been a normative difference and that the subject is not examined in a greater extend. The aim of this study was to gain increased knowledge about how social workers in their work within the framework of LVU(The Care
The purpose of this study is to examine how debate articles in Swedish newspapers manufacture the consequences of legalizing cannabis, in two different time periods, 2005 to 2010 and 2015 to 2020. The study is based on a qualitative content analysis of 59 debate articles from five different Swedish newspapers. 26 debate articles represented the first period and 33 debate articles represented the l
This conceptual thesis analyses Carlota Pérez vision of a ‘Green Global Golden Age’ that is supposed to reconcile the tension between economic growth and sustainability (Pérez, 2016b). Aiming to address the pressing issue of continued unsustainability, Pérez’ proposed solution is based on the assumption that technological innovation in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
