Background: The quality of total extraperitoneal groin hernia repair and recurrence rates are influenced by various factors, potentially including the annual surgical unit volume of repairs. The precise nature of this relationship remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of surgical unit volume on reoperation rates for recurrence following total extraperitoneal groin hernia repair.

- Nearly half of the world relies on non-sewered sanitation systems, where wastewater is treated on-site or transported for treatment, making efficient systems crucial, especially in rapidly urbanizing areas.
- Wastewater from non-sewered sources varies greatly, complicating treatment processes, as established methods can be resource-intensive and ineffective for handling this variability.
- A study evaluated six types of sensors for measuring solids in variable wastewater, finding that optical light-attenuation sensors performed best overall, particularly in low-cost options, while others struggled with different contaminants like fats and inorganic materials.
Currently, there is little research on successful talent development environments (TDEs) focusing on women and girls. In response, the main aim of the present study was to compare TDEs of age-specific national teams for girls and boys in the Norwegian context (N = 216: 92 girls and 124 boys). Gender differences were investigated in the two different sports of handball and ice hockey, which in the Norwegian context represent more and less successful sports (handball and ice hockey, respectively).

The Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social-Emotional Second Edition (ASQ:SE-2) is a parent-rated assessment tool for child socioemotional development between 1 and 72 months of age. In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of this instrument in 18-month-old Swedish children.

Although the number of father-athletes is significantly higher than the number of mother-athletes, few studies to date have focused on male athletes' experiences in a parenting context.
Aim: The aims of the present study were to explore how father-athlete challenges manifest among elite Nordic skiers in Norway, and to better understand how male athletes balance their priorities as they initiate, maintain, and/or discontinue their athletic career as a father-athlete.
