Sjuka barn. Om hur mediala och personliga erfarenheter vävs samman

In the end of the 1990ths came alarming reports that the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) could cause autism. The discovery about the connection was told in mass media all over the world and in Europe the vaccination frequency decreased with several percent. In some areas less than 90% of the children were vaccinated, a limit that calls “herd immunity”. In interviews with parents,

Mutor och moral – motstridiga versioner i svenska rättsfall

High-profile bribery scandals that involve powerful people and large sums of money are often the object of general indignation and legal action. When it comes to bribery of the everyday kind, however, it is far less obvious which gifts should be seen as bribes, be it in a moral or legal sense. Legal cases of this kind almost always include voices that strive to refute accusations of bribery. This

Compensating, Controlling, Resigning and Accepting-Older Person's Perception of Physical Decline.

It is important to know about how frail older people experience their physical decline and how they adapt to their bodily changes so that the health system can design preventive interventions targeting this group early on in the disability process. The aim of this study was to explore how older people perceive their physical decline. The study is qualitative in design and based on interviews with

Extreme ultraviolet interferometry measurements with high-order harmonics

We demonstrate that high-order harmonics generated by short, intense laser pulses in gases provide an interesting radiation source for extreme ultraviolet interferometry, since they are tunable, coherent, of short pulse duration, and simple to manipulate. Harmonics from the 9th to the 15th are used to measure the thickness of an aluminum layer. The 11th harmonic is used to determine the spatial di

Large Eddy Simulation of Atomizing Sprays

Liquid-gas two-phase flows occur frequently in daily life, in nature e.g. falling rain drops or waves in the sea, and in industrial applications, e.g. fuel injection in Diesel engines or gas turbines. For many of these applications the interaction between liquid and gas is crucial for their efficient operation. In this work liquid-gas interaction is studied numerically, specifically for atomizing

Kick back and destroy the ride: Alcohol-related violence and associations with drinking patterns and delinquency in adolescence

AIM: To assess how drinking patterns and delinquency are associated with self-reported experiences of alcohol-related violence in an adolescent population. POPULATION AND RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional data were acquired from the Scania drug use survey 2005, consisting of 3847 students in 9th grade. Abstainers were omitted and 1873 responses analyzed, with binary and multi-variable logistic regr

Transfer Function Parameter Identification by Modified Relay Feedback

This paper proposes a transfer function parameter identification method, applicable to SISO systems of any order. Parameter identification is posed as a (non-convex) squared output error minimization problem, numerically solved utilizing Newton-Raphson iteration with back tracking line search. Focus lies on computing the cost function gradient and Hessian with respect to the parameter vector and o

The STAT3 Inhibitor Galiellalactone Effectively Reduces Tumor Growth and Metastatic Spread in an Orthotopic Xenograft Mouse Model of Prostate Cancer.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is known to be involved in the progression of prostate cancer (PCa) and is a key factor in drug resistance and tumor immunoescape. As a result, it represents a promising target for PCa therapy. We studied the effects of the STAT3 inhibitor galiellalactone (GL) on tumor growth and metastatic spread in vitro and in vivo. The effect of GL on
