The courtroom work of defense lawyers has received surprisingly little sociological attention. What does a defense lawyer actually do in court? How do defense lawyers represent their client beyond the hard paragraphs of the law? By studying this phenomenon in a context where the scope for expressive gestures is limited, it is possible to gain a greater understanding into the often subtle ways in w

Traditionally, the law has been considered as devoid of emotions, however we now view the courtroom as an emotional scene. The emotion norms of the courtroom are thus interesting to explore and, as the courtroom work of defense lawyers has received little sociological attention, this will be the focus of this paper. The aim here is to show which emotions are present in the courtroom and how they a

“Sergentella spiroides” is a filamentous fungal spore which can incidentally contaminate smears. In Romanowsky stainings the spores are confusingly like microfilariae and it is important to recognize the phenomenon to avoid diagnostic mistakes.

The Swedish Orthopaedic Society held its meeting on September 10-12,1986, in Östersund, which is situated on a large lake in central Sweden. This year, Ostersund celebrated its bicentennial; but more than 1,000 years ago the Vikings had a center here to worship their gods, as well as a fortress on the neighboring island of Frösö. Today, Östersund is the gateway to Sweden's most popular winter recr

Background: Some legacy and emerging environmental contaminants are suspected risk factors for intrauterine growth restriction. However, the evidence is equivocal, in part due to difficulties in disentangling the effects of mixtures. Objectives: We assessed associations between multiple correlated biomarkers of environmental exposure and birth weight. Methods: We evaluated a cohort of 1,250 term (

Genom ädelreformen fick kommunerna i uppdrag att ordna särskilda boenden för personer med omsorgsbehov. Dessa boenden skulle utgöra den omsorgsbehövandes hem. De skulle bertala hyra och därmed få de rättigheter som följer av hyreslagen. Artikeln beskriver hur denna grupp behandlats i domstolarna samt diskuterar ändamålsenligheten av att tillämpa hyreslagstiftningen på dem.

The focus of this work is to characterize the mechanical stresses and fatigue along the enameled wire due to thermal expansion. The stresses and fatigue is estimated for a single wire and as a function of evenly distributed temperature. The estimation is based on both analytical equations and 3D Finite Element (FE) model. This characterization of mechanical stresses and fatigue is then used to exa

Context: It is an enigma that agile projects can succeed ‘without requirements’ when weak requirements engineering is a known cause for project failures. While agile development projects often manage well without extensive requirements test cases are commonly viewed as requirements and detailed requirements are documented as test cases.Objective: We have investigated this agile practice of using t

Degradation of electrical machines for traction purposes is important to understand for right-sizing traction system lifetime versus vehicle lifetime. Based on the proposed test specimen and predictive monitoring method, this paper is a continuation of [1] to present the dielectric properties changes, including the AC capacitance and DC leakage current or insulation resistance, during degradation

Objective: As there are theoretical, clinical, and “common sense” reasons to expect a relationship between organizational factors and outcome in clinics providing psychotherapy and other mental health treatments, a review of empirical research in this area was undertaken with the aim of finding empirical evidence for organizational effects. Methods: A structured search for studies on organizationa

Previous research suggests that children develop an increasing concern with fairness over the course of development. Research with adults suggests that the concern with fairness has at least two distinct components: a desire to be fair but also a desire to signal to others that they are fair. We explore whether children’s developing concern with behaving fairly towards others may in part reflect a

We interview both parents and their children enrolled in six primary schools in the district of Treviso (Italy). We study the structural differences between the children network of friends reported by children and the one elicited asking their parents. We find that the parent-reported network has a bias that is consistent with the following explanation: parents expect peer effects on school achiev

We report on a simple but powerful approach to grow high material quality InSb and GaSb nanowires in a commonly used tube furnace setup. The approach employs a process of stable heating at a high temperature and then cooling down naturally to room temperature with the nanowire growth occurred effectively during the naturally cooling step. As-grown nanowires are analyzed using a scanning electron m

Objective: contribute to the existing body of knowledge about the specific needs of first-time parents specifically for early parenthood. Method: the databases PubMed, MEDLINE, PSYCINFO, CINAHL, EMBASE, Family Studies Abstracts, and Web of Science, were searched using search terms: prenatal, antenatal, preparation, education, parents, parenthood. The meta-synthesis included 12 articles representin
