OBJECTIVES: To map how sleep has been assessed in osteoarthritis (OA) and/or inflammatory arthritis (IA), and to synthesise the evidence on the prevalence, characteristics, and relationships between sleep disturbances and these conditions.METHODS: We conducted a scoping review following the JBI guidelines and reported it following the PRISMA extension guidelines for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). M
OBJECTIVE: Use of neuropathic pain medications is increasing in OA patients, but it is unclear if this is driven by OA-specific use or presence of comorbidities. We aimed to investigate the use of neuropathic pain medications attributable to knee and hip OA pain.DESIGN: We included all residents aged ≥35 years of the Skåne region, Sweden, in 2018. After exclusions, 645,991 individuals remained, wh
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the associations of diabetes and/or hypertension with (i) initiating opioid therapy and (ii) progressing to long-term opioid use, after an osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis.METHODS: Population-based open cohort study using Swedish registers. We followed 48,778 opioid-naïve individuals, aged 35-75, with incident OA between 2008 and 2019 in the Skåne region. The associations of di
Large language models (LLMs) can generate executable source code from natural language prompts, fueling a fast-growing ecosystem of AI-assisted software development tools. However, evaluation practices for these systems remain largely one-dimensional, focusing almost exclusively on functional correctness. This narrow lens overlooks critical aspects of software performance and readiness, notably ru
Background: Myocardial injury activates the complement lectin pathway (LP) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and LP inhibition improved cardiac function in experimental studies, suggesting a direct pathogenic role. The clinical consequences of LP activation are insufficiently defined. We investigated how plasma levels of the LP activators mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and ficolin-2 (FCN2) relate to
Översiktliga beräkningar visar att ca 2 miljoner människor utsätts för trafikbullernivåer överstigande de riktvärden som riksdagen ställt sig bakom. Ungefär 500 000 av dessa utsätts för buller från tågtrafiken. Trafikbuller har betydelse för vår hälsa och de negativa effekterna kan vara störning av dagliga aktiviteter, stress sömnsvårigheter, koncentrationsproblem och högt blodtryck. Detta arbete Roughly 2 million Swedish citizens are exposed to traffic noise from roads, railways and aircrafts at levels higher than those approved by the government. As many as 500 000 of these are subject to railway noise. Exposure to traffic noise can have negative effects and cause irritation and disturbance of daily activities and also create general health problems such as lack of sleep, stress, concent
Weichselisens avsmältningsskede i Skåne var mycket komplicerat, vilket har föranlett en stundtals svårtolkad glacialmorfologi. I de norra och centrala delarna av Skåne retirerade isen mot norr och nordost, samtidigt som södra Skåne och Danmark berördes av lobformade isframstötar från en baltisk isström från söder- och sydost. Sedan länge har forskning pågått för att finna lösningen på isens rörelsThe deglaciation of the Weichselian ice sheet was very complicated and the resulting landscape has been perplexing different researchers throughout the 20th century. In the northern parts of Scania, the ice sheet receded towards north and northeast, while a dynamic ice stream with fast flowing ice influenced southern Scania and Denmark. The earlier researchers have mainly focused on striae, the di
Gröna tak kan minska problem med s.k. urban heat islands och kan användas för dagvattenhantering. Andra miljöfördelar som en förbättring av luftkvalitet, biodiversitet och bullerminskning finns också. Detta projekt fokuserar på lokala (kommunala) medel för att skapa en bättre miljö med extensiva gröna tak, vilka är nästan underhållsfria. Ett delområde i Lund som inkluderar Universitetet och UniverGreen roofs have the potential to mitigate problems with an urban heat island and to act as an element in stormwater management. Other environmental benefits exist as well, such as improvement of air quality, biological diversity and noise reduction. This project focuses on local community efforts to create a better environment through the use of extensive green roofs, which require almost no main
Sammanfattning Under 1960-talet kunde vetenskapsmän konstatera att en generell uppvärmning av atmosfären resulterade i klimatförändringar. En av källorna till den globala uppvärmningen var och är fortfarande den höga koncentrationen av växthusgaser i atmosfären som uppstår genom mänsklig aktivitet vid förbränning av fossila bränslen. Trots den vetskapen dröjde det en bit in på 2000-talet innan kliSummary In the 1960’s scientists discovered that general heating of the atmosphere or global warming results in climate change. One of the reasons behind global warming is the high concentration of green house gases in the atmosphere, which is a bi-product of fossil fuel combustion caused by human activity. Climate change did not become a European Union priority before the 21st century when the c
China's surging OFDI has been a prominent phenomenon since the start of 20th century. As China's economic growth is widely received as following a unique path, a question arises immediately---does Chinese outward investment also follows a distinctive pattern which can only be explained by special theories? This paper analyzes the determinants of Chinese OFDI by adopting Random Effects FGLS
The spaghetti bowl of regional trade agreements has been growing rapidly the past two decades. While services trade has often been excluded from these agreements, the recent trend suggests that a shift has occurred and that policy-makers are paying more attention to services trade. As Canada and the European Union (EU) are negotiating a bilateral trade agreement, services sector inclusion is a maj
The purpose of this master thesis is to explore IKEA’s return system and to suggest potential areas of improvement. The master thesis shall describe and identify the problems regarding handling material of the present return system, in order to suggest potential areas of improvement. This master thesis is an explorative study. Wide ranges of interviews were made and are the base of the study. Ob
A rich literature in economics has identified Institutions as a key factor in explaining the disparity in growth across countries. It is thus essential to look at the determinants of institutional quality. This study tries to capture the affect of one of the possible determinants of institutional quality that is trade openness. Theory suggests that there is a positive relationship between trade op
EU-domstolens avgörande i mål C-29/08 SKF har varit föremål för mycket uppmärksamhet och diskussion sedan det kom under hösten 2009. Avgörandet gäller möjligheten att dra av ingående mervärdesskatt på tjänster förvärvade för att genomföra försäljning av aktier i dotterbolag I denna uppsats har EU-domstolens SKF-dom stått i centrum. Den har att satts in i ett perspektiv och analyserats mot bakgrunThe decision of the ECJ in case C-29/08 SKF has been the subject of a lot of attention and discussion since it was delivered in 2009. The decision concerns the possibility of deduction of input VAT on services acquired in connection with the sale of shares in subsidiaries. In this thesis the decision of the ECJ in SKF has been the center of attention. It has been put into perspective and has been
Syfte Utifrån antagandet om att en investerare nyttomaximerar sin portfölj genom hög förväntad avkastning, är syftet med denna studie i ett första skede att undersöka och analysera hur en portfölj av två fondkategorier bör kombineras och varför. Det sker i sin tur utifrån investerares skilda preferenser vad gäller riskbenägenhet och placeringshorisont. I ett andra skede syftar studien att undersö
Syfte: Studien ämnar ge en förståelse av den externa kommunikationens vikt, vid en påtvingad organisationsförändring där ett minskat medlemsantal kan hota organisationens existens. Metod: För att besvara studiens syfte användes kvalitativa intervjuer med fem anställda på Akademiska Föreningen, som arbetade före eller efter kår- och nationsobligatoriet avskaffades. Teori: Den teoretiska referensr
