Popular Abstract in Swedish I Män, våld och moralarbete uppmärksammas hur män, som frivilligt sökt sig till verksamheter där det erbjuds behandling för våld i nära relationer, rapporterar om sina erfarenheter. Rapporteringarna består dels av svar på frågeformulär, dels genom deltagande i samtalsintervjuer. Författaren analyserar hur männen förklarar sina handlingar och gestaltar återberättade erfaMen, violence and moral work- Reports from help-seeking men at treatment centers working with violence in close relationships Men’s violence against women is an extensive social problem. In the 1970s, a new kind of centers were established in the US and UK, focusing on treating men who had been violent against their wives or girlfriends, the aim which is to end the men’s violent behavior. In the

OBJECTIVE: To study how the choice of national EQ-5D tariff may affect utility and incremental quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) estimates. METHODS: South Swedish rheumatoid arthritis patients in an observational study, starting and continuing anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) monotherapy (n=54) or anti-TNF plus methotrexate (n=215) for 1 year during May 2002 to April 2009, were included. EQ-5D q

By pulse modulating or deflecting a CW dye laser beam, cascade-free lifetime determinations at high spectral resolution can be performed with the decayed-coincidence technique using measuring times of about 1 minute. The method is illustrated by lifetime measurements for the 72P3/21/2 levels of cesium.

Abstract in German Das Messen von Beschleunigungen und Höhen während einer Achterbahnfahrt bietet die Möglichkeit, den Physikunterricht anwendungsbezogen zu gestalten. Dieser Ansatz erlaubt einen erlebnisorientierten Zugang speziell im Bereich der oftmals als langweilig empfundenen Mechanik. Das Beispiel der Achterbahn Kanonen in Göteborg demonstriert die vielen Möglichkeiten der Datenauswertung.

Planar laser induced fluorescence (LIF) has been utilized for two-dimensional imaging in combustion environments. By using tracer LIF the fuel distribution prior to ignition has been monitored in a GDI-engine. The results obtained were used to determine the influence from various engine parameters such as nozzle type, spray angle, duration of injection, start of injection, piston shape, etc. Two f

One of the obstacles that seem to impede a more frequent application of the modelling and simulation approach system dynamics (SD) in the software engineering community is the lack of well-defined and repeatable procedures for generating or using information that (a) stems from real industrial software development practice and (b) is suitable for SD model building. This problem can be resolved, at

Organized human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination was introduced in Sweden in 2012. On-demand vaccination was in effect from 2006 to 2011. We followed the HPV prevalences in Southern Sweden from 2008 to 2013.

Lack of expression of dystrophin leads to degeneration of muscle fibers and infiltration of connective and adipose tissue. Cell transplantation therapy has been proposed as a treatment for intractable muscle degenerative disorders. Several reports have demonstrated the ability of bone-marrow derived cells (BMDC) to contribute to non-haematopoietic tissues including epithelium, heart, liver, skelet

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease commonly suffer from breathlessness, deconditioning, and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQL) despite best medical management. Opioids may relieve breathlessness at rest and on exertion in COPD. We aimed to estimate the efficacy and safety of opioids on refractory breathlessness, exercise capacity, and HRQL in COPD.

Aims: Respondent-driven sampling is a research technique, new to the Scandinavian setting, used in hard-to-reach populations, such as subjects at risk for HIV, including drug users. This study aimed to evaluate the use of respondent-driven sampling originating from syringe exchange clients, as a method to identify 'hidden' drug users without treatment or social service contact. Methods: Nine heroi

Aims Orthostatic hypotension (OH) has been linked to increased mortality and incidence of cardiovascular disease in various risk groups, but determinants and consequences of OH in the general population are poorly studied. Methods and results Prospective data of the Swedish 'Malmö Preventive Project' (n = 33 346, 67.3% men, mean age 45.7 +/- 7.4 years, mean follow-up 22.7 +/- 6.0 years) were analy

På kommunernas hemsidor uppmanas äldre att klaga och komma med synpunkter. Klagomål beskrivs som ett värdefullt led för att förbättra verksamheten. Men hanteringen är rörig och klagomålen bagatelliseras av ansvariga chefer, visar forskning från Hälsohögskolan i Jönköping. ”De klagar mest på småsaker, att hemtjänsten inte kommer ibland och så där”, sade en av de socialchefer jag intervjuade i mitt
