Release of model compounds from "plum-pudding"-type gels composed of microgel particles randomly dispersed in a gel matrix

A novel gel structure called the "plum-pudding" gel was described by us previously. I The gel was composed of randomly dispersed microgel particles ("plums") in a conventional hydrogel network. Depending on the preparation conditions, the microgels can be incorporated into the gel as expanded networks or dense collapsed globules. Where the microgel particles exist as collapsed globules, they have

Challenges in implementation of research methodology in community-based occupational therapy: The Housing Enabler Example.

This paper focuses on challenges in implementation of research in community-based occupational therapy practice. Based on a two-year project in a south Swedish municipality aiming at studying implementation of structured assessment procedures in the housing adaptation process, the first purpose is to provide a detailed project description, and the second is to report on first results identifying c

Environmental impact of peat mining : Development of storm water treatment methods

Drainage of peatlands increases the transport of suspended solids (SS) and the leaching of nutrients to downstream receiving waters. Increased settling of peat and eutrophication of lakes has been noted in many studies downstream from peat mines. Treatment alternatives have therefore been developed since the early 1980s to reduce the environmental impacts of peat mining. New, efficient methods suc

CLEFT LIP AND PALATE IN ADOLESCENCE IDENTIFYING VARIABLES RELATING TO PSYCHOSOCIAL CONCERNS

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det kan finnas en risk för att enskilda individer med läpp-käk-gomsplalt (LKG) kan möta problem ur psykosocial synpunkt som en konsekvens av den medfödda avvikelsen. LKG är en av de vanligaste medfödda avvikelserna och sett ut den synpunkten synes det viktigt att närmre undersöka detta antagande. Detta leder till den viktiga frågan om det är LKG-spalten som sådan som ärIn study I, 55 adolescents with cleft lip and palate and 31 adolescents without cleft filled out two questionnaires: the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale to assess self-concept, and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Inventory to assess the degree of introversion. In studies II & III, data regarding physical characteristic and general intellectual capacity were obtained from the Swedish Nationa

Communal spawning in the common frog Rana temporaria - Egg temperature and predation consequences

Females of the common frog, Rana temporaria, spawn synchronously at communal breeding sites, forming a communal egg mass of individual spawn clumps. A total of four spawning sites were studied. In the centre of the communal egg mass, daily maximum temperature was higher and minimum temperature lower than further out. Spawn clumps in the centre of the communal egg mass developed faster than single

Patient understanding, detection, and experience of COPD exacerbations - An observational, interview-based study

Study objectives: This study was conducted to gain insight into patients' comprehension, recognition, and experience of exacerbations of COPD, and to explore the patient burden associated with these events. Design: A qualitative, multinational, cross-sectional, interview-based study. Setting: Patients' homes. Patients: Patients (n = 125) with predominantly moderate-to-very severe COPD (age >= 50 y

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar inlärning av italienska som ett av två modersmål (svenska/italienska) hos tvåspråkiga barn och som andraspråk hos svenska vuxna som lär sig italienska i Italien. Särksilt fokus ligger på ett barn som lär sig italienska som ett av två modersmål i Sverige och vi ställer oss frågan om hans italienska kommer att utvecklas som hos italienska enspråkigaThis thesis deals with the development of the DP (the Determiner Phrase) in bilingual first (2L1) and in adult second (L2) language acquisition of Italian, with a focus on a case study of Italian as a second first language. The thesis suggests that the bilingual children and the Swedish adult learners develop the Italian DP differently. The child acquiring Italian as a second first language develo

Diffractive deep-inelastic scattering with a leading proton at HERA

The cross section for the diffractive deep-inelastic scattering process ep -> eX(P) is measured, with the leading final state proton detected in the H1 Forward Proton Spectrometer. The data analysed cover the range x(P) < 0.1 in fractional proton longitudinal momentum loss, 0.08 < vertical bar t vertical bar < 0.5 GeV-2 in squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex, 2 < Q(2) < 50 GeV2 in

Retirement return migration from Sweden

Abstract in Spanish Este estudio aborda el movimiento de retorno entre los inmigrantes establecidos en Suecia y que tienen entre 51 y 80 años de edad. Una cuestión importante se refiere a la repercusión de la jubilación en la migración de retorno. Algunas circunstancias vinculadas con el abandono del mercado laboral sugieren una mayor tendencia al retorno, por ejemplo la transición del cobro de unThis study deals with return migration among immigrants in Sweden who are between 51 and 80 years old. An important question regards the impact of retirement on return migration. Some circumstances connected to the withdrawal from the labour market suggest an increased propensity to return, such as the transition from a wage income to a pension, which weakens the link between place of residence an

Unsteady-state water vapor adsorption in wood: an experimental study

This paper concerns transient sorption measurements in two intervals (54 to 75% and 75 to 84% relative humidity) made on samples of pine, spruce, ash, aspen, cherry, and willow, with the flow in different directions. In the lower interval, the sorption behavior is quite Fickian; but in the higher interval, it is largely governed by other processes—e.g., the slow sorption in the cell walls. Differe

Hyrtl's anastomosis, the only connection between the two umbilical arteries. A study in full term placentas from AGA infants with normal umbilical artery blood flow

Background The aim of this study was to describe the Variable anatomy in the anastomosis between the umbilical arteries for better understanding of the physical characteristics of the umbilical Row velocity waveform (FVW). Methods. The arterial system of 67 placentas from pregnancies with normal umbilical FVW and resulting in a full-term AGA infant was visualized by angiography. The method allowed

Modelling Sea Surface Dynamics Using Crossing Distributions

The thesis deals mainly with modelling sea surface dynamics. We consider two different scales. The short-term scale,known as sea state, in which the sea surface over a restricted time period and space can be modelled as a stationary random field, and the long-term scale in which we study the evolution of wave characteristics like the significant wave height $H_s$, over long periods of time and at
