Knee‐ABC 2 reduces acute, severe and overuse knee injuries

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Handball is associated with a high risk of knee injury. This study investigated whether an injury prevention program is effective in reducing acute, severe and overuse knee injuries in handball athletes. Methods Sixty‐nine men's and women's handball teams (U‐15, U‐17, U‐19 and senior athletes) were cluster‐randomised into an ...

Intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment for choroidal neovascularization secondary to traumatic choroidal rupture

open access: yesBMC Ophthalmology, 2019
Background So far only single cases with short follow-up have been reported on the use of intravitreal anti-VEGF for traumatic choroidal neovascularizations (CNV). This paper reports a large case series of patients with CNV secondary to choroidal rupture

The non‐hydrostatic option of the ECMWF global weather forecast model: Improvements for kilometre‐scale modelling

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study presents improvements to the non‐hydrostatic version of the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), enabling stable global simulations at 1.4‐km resolution. A systematic comparison with the hydrostatic version at resolutions from 9 to 1.4 km shows that non‐hydrostatic effects emerge in ...

“Bad Things Happen in Philadelphia”: Managing Stigma and Threats in the Wake of False Criminal Accusations

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
In the aftermath of the 2020 U.S. election, the boundary between activism and extremism blurred, with election officials reporting violent threats and false accusations of election fraud. From a symbolic interactionist perspective, these attacks provide a unique lens for examining the consequences of being falsely labeled a criminal.

‘I used to walk around the playground wondering where all my friends had gone’: The reflections of how adults with developmental prosopagnosia made friends in childhood

open access: yesBritish Journal of Special Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Current research into developmental prosopagnosia (DP) estimates a high prevalence rate in the general population, but there exist many gaps in the research. More needs to be learned about the lived experience of those with DP and how to identify it in children. Using reflexive thematic analysis, this study explored the lived experience of how

The influence of distillers dried grains with solubles in broiler’s feed mixtures on their growth parameters

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2010
The effect of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in broiler feed mixtures on the performance was studied in an experiment with 1000 male broiler chickens Ross 308 from 12 to 35 days of age. DDGS were produced from wheat (90 %) and triticale (10

Strategic litigation as a challenge for deliberative democracy

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Strategic litigation is a growing public concern, but remains understudied in democratic theory. In strategic litigation, collectives go to court with a political agenda that goes beyond their specific case. How should we assess the legitimacy of strategic litigation? Building on Lafont's model of deliberative democracy and Klein's distinction

Macroscopic laser–plasma interaction under strong non-local transport conditions for coupled matter and radiation

open access: yesMatter and Radiation at Extremes, 2018
Reliable simulations of laser–target interaction on the macroscopic scale are burdened by the fact that the energy transport is very often non-local. This means that the mean-free-path of the transported species is larger than the local gradient scale ...
