BackgroundVasovagal reflex is the most common form of syncope, but the pathophysiological mechanisms that initiate the reflex are not well understood. We aimed to study supine and early orthostatic levels of the neurohormones involved in control of circulatory homeostasis in relation to the onset of tilt‐induced vasovagal syncope (VVS).Methods and ResultsA total of 827 patients who were investigat

According to Sahlberg (2011) educational reforms in different countries follow similar patterns as well as educational systems. Sahlberg calls this Global Educational Reform Movement (GERM) and its symptoms are: More competition within education systems, which leads to accountability (inspections, standardized tests, assessing teacher effectiveness) and less cooperation, increased school choice (c
The conditions for necking are well defined through the theory of Hill [1]. These conditions are applied to elasto plastic linearly hardening Tresca.and v Mises materials for different hardening characteristics. The results suggest that necking developes for all hardening materials. Below a certain hardening the stresses normal to the necking region and just outside it decrease during the necking
This chapter describes a SIDA (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency) and later Linnaeus Palme project that in the years 2008-2016 aimed to start a Music Education Department at a Music Conservatoire in Vietnam derived from the renovation of curriculums for music in schools. It discusses the questions concerning traditional music in a school context by addressing how higher educatio
Experiments have been performed on cracks growing in a weak elastic layer bonded to a stiffer beam. The plane of the initial crack is perpendicular to the interface between the layer and the beam (see Fig. 1). The applied load is initially mode I. A frequent observation is that the crack deflects following a curved path. Finally the crack runs almost parallel with the interface. Different ratios o
Cardiac resynchronization therapy may stabilize patients with severe heart failure awaiting heart transplant. Transvenous interventional implantation aided by intracardiac echocardiography is feasible in patients with adult congenital heart disease.
Music educators working in cross-cultural contexts are faced with both challenges and possibilities, often finding themselves in need of multidimensional re-invention. This chapter focuses on teacher-researchers, contextualising them within the frame of institutional change and intercultural music teacher education. Taking an active role in educational development and regenerating usual patterns o
The film ”We will meet in the blind spot” takes its point of departure from the architecture in and around the Esposizione Universale di Roma (EUR) area in Rome. The EUR was built during the fascist rule and was meant to be the site of the World Exposition in 1942, in addition to being a celebration of the 20-year jubilee for fascism in Italy. The World Exposition in 1942 never took place due to W
Climate change mitigation efforts require information on the current greenhouse gas atmospheric concentrations and their sources and sinks. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most abundant anthropogenic greenhouse gas. Its variability in the atmosphere is modulated by the synergy between weather and CO2 surface fluxes, often referred to as CO2 weather. It is interpreted with the help of global or regiona
The montage film The Dissonance of Memory (Chapter IV) takes its point of departure in the multilayered narratives surrounding the areas of Gellerup and Toveshøj outside Aarhus in Denmark. Tracing the waves of change, progress and re-design of the area – from the never realized original plans till todays Helhedsplan (grand masterplan) – through a re-contextualisation of material from the local arc
Hymns to Unknown Heroines part III – Elna, 2015 Slide and sound installationHymns to Unknown Heroines, part III is the latest iteration of a multifaceted work. The starting point was an anonymous photographic archive from the 1920s that depicts a Scottish family over several years. Many of the photographs portray women engaged in recreational activities, portraying an undemanding lifestyle that ca
Bifurcating Futures, 2014HD video, 9:46 min.Through the staging of an experienced dancer, the video work Bifurcating Futures explores the body’s limitations and potentials in relation to modernist and futuristic architecture in the Esposizione Universale di Roma (EUR) district of Rome. The dancer’s movements are ruptured by fragments from Thom Donovan’s poem “The Commons.”In the video, the dancer

The theoretical debate on the nature of narrative has been mainly concerned with literary narratives, whereas forms of non-literary and especially pictorial narrativity have been somewhat neglected. In this paper, however, I shall discuss narrativity specifically with regard to pictorial objects in order to clarify how pictorial storytelling may be based on the activation of mentally stored action
