AIMS: Although childhood obesity is becoming increasingly prevalent, treatment options are limited and the continued development of effective treatment strategies is necessary. It is equally important to explore involvement of other resources in society, such as sports associations. This study was designed to investigate the possibility of reducing the degree of obesity in obese children by focusi

The aim of this study was to elucidate the meaning of the experience of younger people (< 55 years) during their first year following a myocardial infarction. We analyzed 17 interviews using a phenomenological-hermeneutic method. The core theme and central phenomenon was the everyday fight to redress the balance in life, which encompassed an existential, physical, and emotional battle to regain a

Departing from fundamental concepts, this paper briefly recaps the case-law development with respect to refusal to deal on both sides of the Atlantic; revisits the EU Guidelines and recent U.S. development, and finally considers refusal to license. All with the purpose to understand whether the 2009 Guidelines actually restate the law as it stands today.

AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent individual-based extended information given to mothers from city parts of low education can improve precautions taken by them to prevent burn and scald injuries involving young children in the home and further to compare the results with a group of mothers who had not received extended information. METHODS: This intervention study, with

A new method for QRST cancellation is presented for the analysis of atrial fibrillation in the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). The method is based on a spatiotemporal signal model which accounts for dynamic changes in QRS morphology caused, e.g., by variations in the electrical axis of the heart. Using simulated atrial fibrillation signals added to normal ECGs, the results show that the spatiotem

The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of particle-pair interaction for various separation distances and angular positions. The results obtained are used in a particle-laden turbulent jet flows in order to improve the existing Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) models. In the first part, a detailed numerical study of particle interaction is carried out by varying the separa

This environmental audit report was completed after an environmental audit of the Baltijsk municipality in the District of Kaliningrad, Russia, during the 10th and 11th of April 2000. The report is a joint effort of 31 students from 23 countries, who are participants of the International Master’s Programme “Master of Science in Environmental Management and Policy ” at the International Institute

För att nå energimålen för bebyggelsen till 2020, uppsatta av EU och av den svenska regeringen, är det nödvändigt att inte bara minska energianvändningen i nybyggnader utan att även energieffektivisera befintlig bebyggelse. När renovering ändå genomförs finns stora möjligheter att utföra energibesparande åtgärder och på samma gång höja inomhuskomforten för de boende.
