Stroke incidence in those of working age has been reported to be increasing significantly, implying strong incentives for research concerning working ability after stroke. This study focused on differences in subjective aspects of work and dimensions of quality of life after having experienced stroke. Sixty-five persons answered a postal questionnaire. The median age at the time of the stroke was
Lifetimes of states in the triaxial strongly deformed bands of Lu-163 have been measured with the Gammasphere spectrometer using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The bands have been interpreted as wobbling-phonon excitations from the characteristic electromagnetic properties of the transitions connecting the bands. Quadrupole moments are extracted for the zero-phonon yrast band and, for the f
Plastic wave propagation during dynamic buckling of ductile slabs is investigated numerically using a contour plot method (q-plot) showing contours of normalized effective plastic strain rate as a function of time and position. A non-linear finite element method is used to analyse the buckling problem of the elastic-viscoplastic slab. The contour plot method is quite sufficient to depict the overa
The 3s(2)3p(2 3)P(1.2)-3s3p(3) S-5(2) intercombination lines for Si-like Rh have been investigated using the techniques of beam-foil spectroscopy. Two lines have been identified as belonging to these transitions having, however, different wavelengths from what would be expected based on published iso-electronic trends. The identifications suggested here are strengthened by requirements on (a) the
The issue of describing identity of sense relations that are used in contexts of anaphora to express contextually given information is discussed. In text-to-speech applictions, it is important to model given information, both linguistically and computationallly, since it is associated with tone accent patterns that differ from those on new information. The anlysis is illustrated using restricted t
We performed path integral simulations of spin evolution controlled by the Rashba spin-orbit interaction in the semiclassical regime for chaotic and regular quantum dots. The spin polarization dynamics have been found to be strikingly different from the D'yakonov-Perel' (DP) spin relaxation in bulk systems. Also an important distinction has been found between long time spin evolutions in classical
The age and sex specific incidence of tibial condyle fractures and patellar fractures were compared between 1950-55 and 1980-83 in the urban population of Malmo. In elderly women there was an increased incidence over these 30 years for both fracture types.
Vasopressin and oxytocin are synthesised in the hypothalamus and released to the blood stream via the posterior lobe of the hypophysis. Research during later years has shown that these peptides are also produced in other parts of the brain. The secretion to plasma is stimulated by oestrogen, an effect which is counteracted by progestagen. During delivery the fetus can also produce substantial amou
In the course of a screening for cytotoxic Compounds from fungi four new terpenoid metabolites, named dasyscyphins A, B, C, and niveulone were isolated from fermentations of Dasyscyphus niveus strain A0101. While dasyscyphin A (1) exhibited no significant biological activities in our test systems dasyscyphin B (2) and dasyscyphin C (3) showed cytotoxic activities against human (HepG2, Hela S3, U93
We have developed a transgenic mouse expressing the Cre recombinase under control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter. Using a CamKIIalpha-driven tTA transgenic strain and a lacZ reporter mouse, we obtained the expected neuronal pattern of recombination in the olfactory lobe, cortex, striatum, hippocampus and Purkinje cells. Moreover, recombination can be completely abolished by feeding the mice
This paper is concerned with question of how to assess results of networking which is an important element in movement towards sustainable development. Although based upon a large body of research, including empirical studies, the question of assessment of the networking results remains un-addressed, to a large extent. Based on an in-depth analysis of two Swedish tourism networks for sustainabilit
A shift in business thinking from selling products to providing service solutions to customer needs is becoming noticeable. It is driven by increasing competition and the need to identify new profit centres for producers of mature products. This paper identifies a new product group that could be interesting from the product-service system perspective - baby prams. The study presents a new business
The redox behavior of two synthetic manganese complexes illustrates a mechanistic aspect of importance for light-driven water oxidation in Photosystem 11 (PSII) and design of biomimetic systems (artificial photosynthesis). The coupling between changes in oxidation state and structural changes was investigated for two binuclear manganese complexes (1 and 2), which differ in the set of first sphere
I denna uppsats försöker jag med åtskilliga exempel påvisa att förhållandet mellan det gamla och det nya förbundet är ett centralt tema i Uppenbarelseboken.
A new permutor design for serially concatenated convolutional codes is presented. It is based on the construction of a permutation matrix without short cycles of special types. For such a permutor, we give a lower bound on the minimum distance of the overall code that is significantly larger than that achievable with first-order separation (spreading factors). Additionally, the minimum distance ca
