In 1935, a law on prescription-based sterilisation of ‘the idiot, the imbecile, and the mentally ill’ was passed by a majority in the Finnish parliament. Complementary of earlier eugenic legislation, it was considered beneficial for public health and economy, following the examples of ‘advanced’ countries such as Sweden and Germany.

Hydrological climate change impact assessment is generally performed by following a sequence of steps from global and regional climate modelling, through data tailoring (bias-adjustment and downscaling) and hydrological modelling, to analysis and impact assessment. This “climate-hydrology-assessment chain” has been developed with a primary focus on applicability to a medium-sized rural basin, whic
Aims Optimal antithrombotic therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and atrial fibrillation is uncertain. In this study, we compared antithrombotic regimes with regard to a composite cardiovascular outcome of all-cause mortality, MI or ischaemic stroke, and major bleeds. Methods and results Patients between October 2005 and December 2012 w
Aim: Having a known midwife at birth is valued by women across the world, however it is unusual for women with fear of childbirth to have access to this model of care. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and factors related to having access to a known midwife for women referred to counseling due to childbirth fear. We also wanted to explore if women's levels of childbirth fear cha
Based on observational data from the fourth internal data release of the Gaia-ESO Survey we probe the abundance structure in the Milky Way stellar disk as a function of galactocentric radius and height above the plane. We find that the inner and outer Galactic disks have different chemical signatures. The stars in the inner Galactic disk show abundance signatures of both the thin and thick disks,
In this article we propose a method to identify steering events, such as curves and manoeuvres for vehicles. We use a hidden Markov model with multidimensional observations, to estimate the number of events. Three signals, lateral acceleration, steering angle speed and vehicle speed, are used as observations. We demonstrate that hidden Markov models with a combination of continuous and discrete di
I ett försök att uppnå immunoreaktioner mot implanterade hjärntumörer behandlades N29-gliomtumörer i råttor med elektriska pulser följt av injektioner av IL-18 och IFN-bamma utsöndrande syngena tumörcellsvaccin. Tumörer ympades subkutant på båda låren av kvinnliga Fischer-344 syngeniska råttor. Den vänstra tumören behandlades en gång med 16 pulser med 1400 V / cm, 1,0 ms varaktighet (tidskonstant)

Stinging nettles are not always appreciated, but have been used for spinningyarn and weaving since the Bronze Age, and have also been much used in folk medicine. They are used as food for caterpillars of several of our most beloved butterflies, but area lso victims of an interesting parasitic plant, the dodder.And they can be used to make a delicate soup!
The purpose of this paper is to analyse transient dynamics in adaptive control using statistical concentration bounds. For maximal clarity, the study is limited to a linear first order system with a single uncertain parameter. Two types of bounds are given: First we prove probabilistic bounds on the parameter estimation error as a function of time. In particular, we prove that the estimation error
