The aim of the current study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-5L among individuals with knee or hip OA participating in a digitally delivered education and exercise therapy.Methods: Secondary analysis of d

Land use and land cover change in locally supported wildlife management areas in the Nyerere-Selous ecosystem, Tanzania

Worldwide, there is conversion of natural habitats to other land cover types. These are explained by changes in land use and climate change. In Tanzania, environmental degradation happens also within and around protected areas. To mitigate the effects, wildlife management areas (WMAs) surrounding the borders of protected areas in Tanzania have been promoted. They are based on the concept of commun

Ultrafast population transfer and ionization mechanisms in intense laser fields

This thesis addresses different aspects of atoms interacting with strong laser fields. The focus is on population and ionization dynamics occurring on ultrafast timescales, when atoms are subjected to intense extreme ultraviolet or infrared laser light. Different ways of modeling these interactions are considered. Comparisons to experimental results are performed in certain cases, and in other cas

Islamic studies and the arts : new research methodologies in working with refugees in Jordan

It’s time our elected leaders learn how money works

Although understanding money creation is fundamental to addressing our economic and environmental problems, few of those we trust to make decisions about our future know how money works. Monetary schools are therefore sorely needed. Fortunately, there are many. Since 2008, a wide variety of citizen groups around the world have started local monies. Some municipalities are building on those lessons

Conversion to Islam in Ireland : A post-Catholic subjectivity?

This article discusses the conversion experiences as recalled by Irish women who converted to Islam during the so-called ‘Celtic-Tiger’ period—the years of Ireland’s dramatic economic boom and major socio-cultural transformations between 1995 and 2007. In this period, the increasing religious diversity of Irish society and the decline of the social authority of the Catholic Church facilitated the

Investigating RE from a global and multi-interdisciplinary perspective, it presents research on the diverse past, present, and possible future forms of RE. In doing so, it enhances public and professional understanding of the complex issues and debates surr

Building brains; What can we conclude about children's educational success by looking at their brain structure, cognitive abilities, and socioeconomic background?

Recognizing individual differences is essential for creating inclusive and effective educational settings that support all children's learning and school success and that are considerate of their varying needs. The primary aim of this work was to help uncover some of the influencing factors and underlying dynamics that affect children’s individual educational attainment. Through brain imaging and

Sustainability and EU Migration Law : Tracing the history of a contemporary concept

Sustainable migration is the new objective of the EU migration policy. But what does this mean in terms of legal design? What instruments should be put in place to achieve it? And most importantly what does it imply for migrants’ rights? While sustainability has attracted scholarly attention in law and politics already since the 1990s, sustainable migration is an extremely understudied topic with

KlimaSeniorinnen and the Question(s) of Causation

In my blog post, I turn to a more technical aspect of the judgment, namely the question of causation. I will untangle the analytical gymnastics that the Court performs regarding this question. I will argue that the reasoning regarding causation is confusing and that it is not clear how specifically the ‘real prospect’ test is applied for finding a breach.

En kartläggning av förlossningsförberedande information från barnmorskor på barnmorskemottagningar.

Med utgångspunkt från mödrahälsovårdens basprogram avgör barnmorskan vad det är för information som ska delges under barnmorskemottagningens föräldrautbildning. Barnmorskans arbete ska främja de blivande föräldrarnas delaktighet genom information och möjligheten till informerat val. Specifik förlossningsförberedande information om exempelvis valmöjlighet av förlossningsplats hittas endast som bify

Planhushållning i garderoben : Modejournalistik under andra världskriget

I spåren av ransonering och materialbrist under andra världskriget uppmanade modetidningarna svenskarna att hushålla med sina resurser och planera nyinköp noga. I stället för att som vanligt locka med nya varor rådde de nu läsarna att återbruka och sy om sina befintliga plagg. Men ju längre kriget pågick desto tydligare syntes en längtan efter mer flärdfullhet, färg och glädje i modet.
