This thesis combines quantitative, qualitative, and experimental approaches to address different aspects of distal radius fractures (DRFs) in the elderly.Study I was a registry-based cohort study of 5,536 DRF patients, of whom 259 (5%) sustained a concomitant distal metaphyseal ulna fracture. These patients, with a mean age of 73 years (SD 15), had nearly twice the odds of reporting severe symptom

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop grown on all continents. Due to environmental concerns, it is desirable to reduce the inputs of both chemical pesticides and inorganic fertilizers. However, yield reduction must be expected when switching to low-input systems. To mitigate such losses, the use of natural or introduced microbiomes may provide the key to maintaining sustainable yield. Phyl

Introduction: Proactive and easily accessible interventions are needed to support people with long-term health conditions who experience limitations in activities of everyday life. However, there is a lack of interventions that promote self-management skills that prevent deterioration and improve health. The internet-based programme 'Strategies for Empowering Activities in Everyday Life' (SEE) sup

This paper proposes a conceptual model of decision-making tying specific preferences to broader individual goals. Specifically, we consider terminal goals, representing fundamental objectives, and instrumental goals, serving as complexity-reducing intermediate steps toward achieving terminal goals and determining eventual preferences. Notably, the hierarchical goal structure allows for contextual

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines based on lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are stabilized with cholesterol, which is thought to be a critical LNP component because it is essential for membrane integrity and endosomal escape. Here, it is shown that cholesterol in LNPs can be replaced with an immunopotentiating lipid, i.e., a synthetic analogue of the C-type lectin receptor agonist monomycoloyl glycerol (MMG

Distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), also known as cell-free massive MIMO, has emerged as a promising technology for sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks. This letter introduces an indoor channel measurement campaign designed to explore the behavior of multipath components (MPCs) in distributed MIMO channels. Fully coherent channels were measured between eight distributed uniform

The rapid advancement of medicine, fueled by big data and interdisciplinary research, has significantly transformed the landscape of computational oncology research. In this evolving environment, effective time management strategies are essential for researchers across diverse specializations. Computational oncology researchers typically pursue one of three primary career paths: clinical medicine,

Αποτελεί η Κίνα κομμάτι του κόσμου;Αυτή η ερώτηση, παρά τον φαινομενικά ρητορικό της χαρακτήρα, αντικατοπτρίζει μια βαθιά ριζωμένη αντί­ληψη που κυριαρχεί σε μεγάλο μέρος του πολιτικού, δημοσιο­γραφικού και δημόσιου λόγου στη Δύση: ότι η Κίνα αποτελεί το «θεμελιωδώς διαφορετικό Άλλο», αποκομμένο από τον «πραγ­ματικό» κόσμο. Παρά τη σαραντάχρονη ενσωμάτωσή της στο παγκόσμιο κοινωνικοοικονομικό σύστ

Poor acoustic conditions in learning spaces have a detrimental effect on the speaker's health and constitute a risk factor for voice disorders. Previous research indicates that an acoustic refurbishment of the learning space has the potential to increase well-being and decrease voice-related health problems among teachers, but the research is scarce. In this study, we aim to investigate how differ

In the last three field seasons the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has undertaken mapping in the south-eastern part of the Nuuk region in southern West Greenland, and here we present new zircon ages that help constrain the northern boundary of the Tasiusarsuaq terrane. The Archaean geology of the Nuuk region is commonly interpreted as a tectonic collage assembled through lateral

The classical Chinese poem Mulan Shi has been translated many times into different languages and adapted to different media. Drawing upon Sonesson’s definition of translation as a double act of communication and combining it with concepts from narratology and translation theory, we develop a framework comprising three levels of translation resemblance: (a) between the structure and content of the

The concept of scattering contrast is central to (small-angle) scattering of neutrons, X-rays, and visible light, as it defines the visibility to the radiation of the nano- and mesostructures under scrutiny, in their respective solvent or matrix. In this chapter, we start with the scattering process by elementary scatterers, such as nuclei or atoms, which produce secondary, scattered waves, and th

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing poses a serious threat to marine biodiversity and economic stability, particularly in coastal nations like Malaysia, where the smuggling of government-subsidized fuel is often linked to IUU activities. This study presents a forensic approach using gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–M

Tonalite-trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) gneisses and melanocratic to ultramafic greenstones dominate the Archaean basement of southern West Greenland. The greenstones are likely to represent different original environments, which is important as the mineral deposits they may host depend on this. For example, massive sulphide deposits associated with gold and base metals are commonly volcanogenic,

The extensive and very deep ?Jurassic/Cretaceous–Palaeogene sedimentary basins offshore West Greenland have a significant petroleum exploration potential. This is particularly true for the offshore region west of Disko and Nuussuaq where a live petroleum system has been documented for many years. At present, stratigraphic knowledge in this area is almost nonexistent and analogue studies from onsho

During the field campaign in the Nuuk region, one of the objectives was to describe Archaean primary geological environments (Hollis et al. 2006). On Nunatak 1390, which is part of the Tasiusarsuaq terrane (Figs 1, 2), a bimodal volcanic succession is preserved and interpreted as former ocean floor. The field investigation included geological mapping and sampling of the volcanic sequence comprisin

The 7Be(d, α)5Li and 7Be(d, p)8Be*(p 7Li) reactions are studied at 5 MeV/u in the context of the cosmological lithium problem. This work aims to probe the contribution of 7Be destruction mechanisms, particularly through channels that populate intermediate unbound states of 5Li and 8Be. The contribution of 7Be(d, α)5Li(p α) reaction is separated from the 7Be(d, p)8Be*(2α) reaction. The 7Be(d, p)8Be

Anthropogenic noise and artificial light at night (ALAN) are expanding globally, acting as pervasive sensory pollutants that can disrupt wildlife behaviour and reproduction. While most research has focused on diurnal species, the effects of these pollutants on the ecological response of nocturnal predators remain poorly understood. Using data from nine European countries, we investigated the effec
