There is a knowledge gap with regard to the structure of the care and service system available to persons with dementia. This is very much a concern for nurses who are the main providers in the care of dementia. The study, a part of the "RightTimePlaceCare" project, describes the development and content of a mapping system aimed at exploring the content of care and service for persons with dementi
How is meaning created by a poem? Through the invisible ideas and thoughts conveyed by the text or through the physical presence of book, paper and print? In Bodies of Poems the author argues that the material properties of poetic texts are meaningful in their own right but often ignored and made invisible in poetry criticism. Through a number of examples ranging from the introduction of print tec
During the Silurian Period, as shown here by data from Gotland, Sweden, and other regions of the Baltoscandian paleocontinent, fish faunas were struck hard by extinctions caused by the late Ludlow Lau Event, also known for being associated with the largest positive stable carbon isotope excursion of the Phanerozoic. This event had a profound impact on the early evolutionary history of vertebrates,
Background: Soils contain the largest stock of organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems and changes in soil C stocks may significantly affect atmospheric CO2. A significant part of soil C is present in cultivated soils that occupy about 35 % of the global land surface. Agricultural intensification has led to practices that may decrease soil organic carbon (SOC), and agricultural management has
We present a model for developing health services for men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa and other places where MSM are heavily stigmatized and marginalized. The processes of the SPEND model include Safe treatment for sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and HIV; Pharmacy sites for treatment of STIs in countries where pharmacies and drug stores are the source of medical advi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut pankreatit (AP) är en inflammation i bukspottskörteln, som oftast utlöses av gallstenssjukdom eller alkoholintag. Varför man får akut pankreatit vet man inte och inte heller varför de flesta patienter återhämtar sig på ett par dagar, medan ca 20 procent drabbas av en betydligt svårare form av sjukdomen. Vid svår AP ses en kraftig inflammatorisk reaktion i hela kropIn various inflammatory conditions a close interplay between inflammation and coagulation is known to exist, where coagulation factor VII (FVII) and tissue factor (TF) are considered to be pivotal players. In this thesis the crosstalk between inflammation and coagulation in acute pancreatitis (AP) has been investigated. The results from the first paper, where active site inactivated FVII (FVIIai)
Monitoring high latitude wetlands is required to understand feedbacks between terrestrial carbon pools and climate change. Hydrological variability is a key factor driving biogeochemical processes in these ecosystems and effective assessment tools are critical for accurate characterization of surface hydrology, soil moisture, and water table fluctuations. Operational satellite platforms provide op
In this article, two case studies from 1921–22 and 1971 respectively, are juxtaposed in order to determine change in official attitudes and screening contexts for pornographic films. Focusing in the first case on an exhibitor who in 1922 was convicted of screening an obscene film on three occasions the year before, and in the other case on the range of venues for pornographic films in Malmö the mo
Carbonylation of proteins is an irreversible oxidative damage that increases during both chronological and replicative yeast aging. In the latter, a spatial protein quality control system that relies on Sir2 is responsible for the asymmetrical damage segregation in the mother cells. Proper localization of Sir2 on chromatin depends on the deubiquitinating enzyme Ubp10, whose loss of function deeply
Background: The presence of enthesitis (insertional inflammation) in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is difficult to establish clinically and may influence classification and treatment of the disease. We used ultrasonography (US) and color Doppler (CD) imaging to detect enthesitis at the small and deep-seated proximal insertion of the gluteus medius fascia on the posterior iliac
The origin of two large peaks in the atmospheric radiocarbon ((14)C) concentration at AD 774/5 and 993/4 is still debated. There is consensus, however, that these features can only be explained by an increase in the atmospheric (14)C production rate due to an extraterrestrial event. Here we provide evidence that these peaks were most likely produced by extreme solar events, based on several new an
A rectangular, straight microchannel heat sink with multiple length bifurcation has been designed, and the corresponding laminar flow and thermal performance have been investigated, numerically. Five different cases with multiple length bifurcation and various arrangements are investigated, as well as one case without bifurcations. All laminar fluid flow and surface heat transfer results are obtai
The "build-up" methodology of a composite photocatalyst is a critical issue regarding the showed photocatalytic performance, including the formation of intermediates. To investigate this issue TiO2/WO3/Au aerogel composites were obtained by sal-gel method and subsequent photoreduction (Au) with UV or visible light. The obtained composites' photocatalytic activity and intermediate formation profile
We demonstrate a vertical InAs nanowire MOSFET integrated on Si substrate with an extrinsic peak cut-off frequency of 103 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency of 155 GHz. The transistor has a transconductance of 730 mS/mm and is based on arrays of nanowires with gate-all-around and high-kappa gate dielectric. Furthermore, small-signal modeling shows a similar to 80% reduction of the total paras
A series of comparative studies is suggested, focused on perceptions of outrigger canoes, and aimed at an increased understanding of the relationship between social relations, biodiversity, and sustainable development in Oceanic societies on small islands and in coastal areas undergoing rapid cultural change. After a critique of the recent notion that canoe-building in Polynesia developed as a res
During recent years the neural transcription factor SOX11 has been established as an important biomarker for mantle cell lymphoma. SOX11 is both a diagnostic and prognostic antigen, and may potentially be used for treatment selection for younger patients, in relation to protocols including high dose chemotherapy. The molecular pathways involved are still not fully elucidated and, as SOX11 can inte
