Researchers in gerontology have addressed the way age-based arrangements may communicate stereotypical and devaluing images of older people, thereby linking high age to frailty and dependence. The present article considers proposed reforms to the Swedish eldercare system designed to guarantee people over 85 the right to move into a nursing home regardless of their needs. The purpose of the article

Context. Although thousands of exoplanets have been discovered to date, far fewer have been fully characterised, in particular super-Earths. The KESPRINT consortium identified K2-216 as a planetary candidate host star in the K2 space mission Campaign 8 field with a transiting super-Earth. The planet has recently been validated as well. Aims. Our aim was to confirm the detection and derive the main

We report the discovery and characterization of HD 89345b (K2-234b; EPIC 248777106b), a Saturn-sized planet orbiting a slightly evolved star. HD 89345 is a bright star (V = 9.3 mag) observed by the K2 mission with 1 min time sampling. It exhibits solar-like oscillations. We conducted asteroseismology to determine the parameters of the star, finding themass and radius to be 1.12-0.01+0.04 M⊙ and 1.

Unilateral retinitis pigmentosa (URP) is a rare retinal dystrophy. We describe the clinical course of two patients with (URP) unilateral retinitis pigmentosa confirmed by genetic testing, indicating ciliary dysfunction. Methods: The methods used in this study included a detailed ophthalmic examination, multimodal retinal imaging, Goldmann visual fields, full-field electroretinography (ffERG) and t

While the design of goods and services is undeniably important in cultivating customer engagement (CE) with industrial innovations, the theoretical interface of industrial design, innovation, and CE remains nebulous, exposing an important literature-based gap. Relatedly, while the literature has focused on the firm as the focal designing stakeholder, further knowledge building is needed regarding

This chapter discusses developments of GIIU in different ways. As the chapter tries to outline possible lines of future research, it is by nature exploratory, on the verge of being speculative. We discuss the issue when the bias depends on the score in a non-linear way and outline a test to detect different type biases of this kind. We also discuss issues where candidates are awarded multiple scor

BACKGROUND: Patients with diabetes have increased rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). We hypothesized that this is explained by diabetes-associated differences in coronary plaque morphology and lipid content. METHODS: In PROSPECT II (Providing Regional Observations to Study Predictors of Events in the Coronary Tree), 898 patients with acute myocardial infarction with or without ST-segme

HD 3167 is a bright (V = 8.9 mag) K0 V star observed by NASA's K2 space mission during its Campaign 8. It has recently been found to host two small transiting planets, namely, HD 3167b, an ultra-short-period (0.96 days) super-Earth, and HD 3167c, a mini-Neptune on a relatively long-period orbit (29.85 days). Here we present an intensive radial velocity (RV) follow-up of HD 3167 performed with the

This case study investigates the difference in availability of leaving certificates between municipally owned school and independently owned schools in Malmö municipality. It discusses how the change from analogue documents to digital documents will affect availability and for whom. The case study builds on a desktop study, and four interviews with experts in the field and a survey to schools in M

The morphological and biochemical studies of the hippocampal CA1 area in ApoE-deficient mice under the conditionsof dietary intake (8 weeks) with low (LF) and high (HF) fat content were performed. Methods of immunohistochemistry, light and electron microscopy, immunoassay and morphometric as well as statistical analyses were used. It was revealed that the morpho-functional state of the nerve cells

We report the independent discovery and characterization of two K2 planets: K2-180b, a mini-Neptune-sized planet in an 8.9-d orbit transiting a V=12.6mag, metal-poor ([Fe/H] = -0.65 ± 0.10) K2V star in K2 campaign 5; K2-140b, a transiting hot Jupiter in a 6.6-d orbit around a V=12.6mag G6V ([Fe/H] = +0.10 ± 0.10) star in K2 campaign 10. Our results are based on K2 time-series photometry combined w

Some theories of planet formation and evolution predict that intermediate-mass stars hostmore hot Jupiters than Sun-like stars, others reach the conclusion that such objects are very rare. By determining the frequencies of those planets we can test those theories. Based on the analysis of Kepler light curves it has been suggested that about 8 per cent of the intermediate-mass stars could have a cl

Objective: The association between knee injury and knee osteoarthritis (OA) is understudied relative to its importance, particularly in younger populations. This study was undertaken to examine the association of knee injury with radiographic features of knee OA in military officers, who have a physically demanding profession and high rates of knee injury. Methods: Participants were recruited in 2

In modern industrial settings with small batch sizes it should be easy to set up a robot system for a new task. Strategies exist, e.g. the use of skills, but when it comes to handling forces and torques, these systems often fall short. We introduce an approach that provides a combination of task-level planning with targeted learning of scenario-specific parameters for skill-based systems. We propo

We consider two models: one describes the particle movement under the influence of external force and friction, and another one describes the movement of a particle, which is acted upon by the same external force but it additionally collides with other particles of much lighter masses. We establish conditions for these two models to be equivalent in some sense. We also considered deterministic and

This chapter explores how women and families from different minority ethnic backgrounds are treated within the Swedish welfare state by focusing on a space in which the Swedish welfare state meets migrant families in very powerful ways: the delivery room. It begins with a short overview of the Swedish health care system and the Swedish immigration regime, with a particular focus on the changes tha

OBJECTIVES: To explore nurses' experiences of a tailored intervention that supported them with knowledge and tools to use during encounters and dialogue with parents with low vaccine acceptance. DESIGN: A qualitative study with in-depth interviews conducted in 2017. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. SETTING: This study was part of a multicomponent intervention targeting Somali parents an

Denna studie ämnade att undersöka hur vanliga och mörka personlighetsdrag ser ut bland ledare, samt titta på om mörka drag ökar i takt med ledarens befattningsnivå. Metoden bestod av att analysera data från en tidigare studie som undersökte personlighetsdrag bland 101 ledare, samt en litteratursökning. Tidigare forskning visar på ett samband mellan den mörka triaden och önskan om makt, samt en motThis thesis intended to examine common and dark personality traits in leaders, and if dark traits increases with level of position. The method consisted of analyzing data from an earlier study which examined personality traits in 101 leaders, as well as performing a literature search for previous research. Previous research shows a connection between the Dark Triad and the desire for power, as wel

We present the discovery of three small planets transiting K2-136 (LP 358 348, EPIC 247589423), a late K dwarf in the Hyades. The planets have orbital periods of 7.9757 ± 0.0011, 17.30681-0.00036+0.00034, and 25.5715-0.0040+0.0038 days, and radii of 1.05 ± 0.16, 3.14 ± 0.36, and 1.55-0.21+0.24 R⊕, respectively. With an age of 600-800 Myr, these planets are some of the smallest and youngest transit

We present the detection and follow-up observations of planetary candidates around low-mass stars observed by the K2 mission. Based on light-curve analysis, adaptive-optics imaging, and optical spectroscopy at low and high resolution (including radial velocity measurements), we validate 16 planets around 12 low-mass stars observed during K2 campaigns 5-10. Among the 16 planets, 12 are newly valida
