- PURPOSETo construct a questionnaire to assess outcomes in patients who underwent internal fixation for acetabular fractures.METHODS27 female and 100 male consecutive patients (mean age, 50 years) who underwent internal fixation for acetabular fractures were included. Patients were asked to report their outcomes at months 6, 12, and 24 using a questionnaire. The initial questionnaire was constructed by an expert group. There were 11 closed questions, each came with 6 responses from ?no discomfort? to ?very severe discomfort?. Three open questions were added to cover topics that were not included. The content validity and relevance of the 11 closed questions was determined using factor analysis to determine the number of factors involved. Factorability of the correlation matrix was measured via the Bartlett test of sphericity and Kaiser-Meyer- Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling sufficiency. Factor loadings of <0.50 were considered acceptable for factor representation. Reliability in terms of internal consistency was expressed as Cronbach alpha coefficients. The responses to the 3 open questions were analysed and categorised by a single assessor.RESULTS120 (94%) of the patients completed at least one questionnaire, and 92 (72%) completed all 3 questionnaires during the follow-up period. Based on responses to the 6-month questionnaire, responses to the 11 closed questions were significantly intercorrelated (Spearman 0.17-0.80). After factor analysis and analysis of responses to open questions, the number of questions was reduced to 6 and included questions related to pain, walking, hip motion, leg numbness, sexual life, and operation scar. Reliability of the questionnaire was estimated to alpha=0.89. Criterion validity was adequate with a high correlation with the Short Form 36 (r=0.56-0.80).CONCLUSIONPatients treated with acetabular fractures can be adequately assessed using the 6-item questionnaire and one global question concerning impact on activities of daily living.

Calculation of a P-and T-nonconserving weak interaction in Xe and Hg with many-body perturbation theory
- 1985

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The electronic part of a possible P- and T-nonconserving neutral-weak-current-induced electric dipole moment in atomic Xe and Hg was calculated with many-body perturbation theory. After the effects of this P- and T-nonconserving interaction on all core orbitals were treated self-consistently, thereby including all single-particle effects to all orders but no correlation effects, the results μe=(5.2×10−23e m)CTσN and μe=−(6.0×10−22e m)CTσN, respectively, were obtained for Xe and Hg. The value for Xe can be combined with the recent experimental result, ∣∣μe(Xe129)∣∣

The Manhattan Project - a part of physics history
- 2006
-
In: Physics Education. - 0031-9120. ; 41:6, s. 493-501
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Current physics textbooks tend to exclude military applications, but it is explained here how a study of the Manhattan project—the devastatingly successful attempt to develop an atomic bomb—can show students how the lives and work of physicists are shaped by events in society. Much of the original source material is available in books and on the internet (and referenced here), which allows students to discover the views of the scientists for themselves.

Swedish business as a social movement? Mobilising the masses against wage-earner funds, 1975–1991
-
In: Business History. - 1743-7938 .- 1743-7938.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In 1975, the Swedish Trade Union Confederation proposed transferring ownership of firms to union-controlled wage-earner funds. This radical idea was met with fierce resistance from Swedish business and was watered down by the Social Democratic Party upon implementation in 1984. PR campaigns opposing the funds initiated by the Swedish Employer Confederation centred around public rallies and, according to the organisers, in the 1980s these evolved into an ‘anti-socialistic movement’. During a decade in which Western business interests advocated heavily for market-based reforms, the campaigns became a unifying issue for the Swedish business community. Drawing on theories on business-backed activism and protest movements, this article discusses the unique case of how Swedish employers borrowed tactics typically associated with organised labour for large-scale public mobilisation. This movement was enabled by a combination of genuine public discontent and the employers’ organisational and financial resources, even though it lost momentum over time.
