Context: Obesity is a frequent manifestation of hypothalamic damage from a craniopharyngioma (CP). It is not yet clarified whether the obesity is due to alterations in energy expenditure, i.e. basal metabolic rate (BMR) and physical activity, or to increased energy intake (EI). Objective: The aim was to investigate whether energy expenditure and EI differed between childhood onset CP patients and

An analytic approach for the estimation of the phase and amplitude imbalances caused by component mismatches and parasitic magnetic fields in two popular quadrature LC oscillators is presented. Very simple and closed-form equations are derived, proving that, although the two topologies share the same small signal circuit, they display very different sensitivities to the mentioned sources of imbala

Abstract Purpose – The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between corporate branding and market driving. This is achieved by focusing on key dimensions of brand identity such as brand values and staff behaviours, while acknowledging the role of vision and organisational culture. The links between these brand constituents and the actual activities of the firm in a market are explored

The thesis should be regarded as a contribution to the development of knowledge about the interaction taking place in the educational setting for pupils with PIMD in Sweden, the training school (Sw. Träningsskola), and the contextual and interactional conditions that characterizes this educational setting. The study is expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the pedagogical praxis in t

Review of Lars Ersgård (ed), “Modernitet och arkeologi" (Stockholm 2007).

Objective. To describe fecundity after robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy for deep intramural myomas. Design. Prospective observational study. Setting. University Hospital. Population. Women undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy. Methods. Expanding on a previous prospective feasibility study 31 consecutive women in whom a robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy was performed between

The number and costs associated with reported sharps injuries in Swedish hospitals and the potential cost offset by introducing safety devices with needle and syringe was estimated from a health care perspective. Data about reported sharps injuries were collected from infection control nurses at 18 Swedish hospitals and information about the procedures following such injuries from doctors at Swedi

Recent developments have allowed x-ray diffraction techniques at synchrotron radiation facilities to be employed with a temporal resolution of around 1 ps. These developments are the availability of firstly, high brightness third-generation x-ray sources, secondly, passively mode-locked lasers with 100 fs temporal duration and thirdly, averaging streak cameras with sub-picosecond temporal resoluti

To determine intra- and interobserver reliability of the appearance and measurements of Cesarean hysterotomy scars using transvaginal ultrasound with and without saline contrast sonohysterography (SCSH) in non-pregnant women.

Abstract Background: Recently, a new set of pattern-recognition receptors, the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (Nod)-like receptors (NLRs),

INTRODUCTION: Arm lymphoedema is a frequent complication after breast cancer treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment is considered important for successful management of breast cancer related arm lymphoedema (BCRL). The purpose was to identify BCRL incidence, time of onset, progression/regression and associated factors 10 years after breast cancer diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two hundred and

In high-risk environments such as air traffic control, leadership on different levels plays a certain role in establishing, promoting, and maintaining a good safety culture. The current study aimed to investigate how leadership styles, leadership style adaptability, and over and under task leadership behavior differed across situations, operative conditions, leadership structures, and working task

Temperaturen i ett material styrs av variationer i den omgivande miljön. Solstrålning, vindhastighet, lufttemperatur och långvågig värmestrålning bidrar tillsammas till att temperaturen i konstruktioner ändras i både tid och rum. Temperaturfördelningen i en konstruktion kan delas upp i komponenter; medeltemperatur, linjär temperaturdifferens horisontellt och vertikalt, samt en ickelinjär komponent
