För femton år sedan beskrevs Internet och framväxande digitala tjänster ofta med hjälp av ord som Cyberspace och virtuella verkligheter. Under senare år har andra efemära metaforer använts. Idag talas det mer om ”molnet” och molntjänster. Sällan har konkreta fysiska anläggningar och tung infrastruktur använts i marknadsföring och i frammanandet av visioner från företag och organisationer som arbet

Abstract The laparoscopic placement of gastrostomy buttons for feeding tubes is the preferred method of gastrostomy in children with feeding requirements. This intervention often leads to some minor postoperative problems, including gastrostomy site leakage. The aim of our study was to test the hypothesis that the postoperative leakage after a video-assisted gastrostomy is correlated to the dimens

In this paper, and in the one to follow, an analysis of volume average relations in classical continuum mechanics is presented. Results from various investigations, previously presented in the literature, have been reviewed and extended and they have, in some cases, been more precisely stated and rigorously proven. Some of the results presented are believed to be new. The key object for the paper

Studenterna inom lärarutbildningen vid Högskolan i Halmstad skriver under sin sista termin ett examensarbete. Enligt de bedömningskriterier som tillämpas ska examensarbetet vara såväl vetenskapligt som skol- och yrkesrelevant. Examensarbetet bedöms av akademiska lärare och bedömningarna ligger till grund för betygsättningen av examensarbetena. Efter att examensarbetena betygsatts, kommenteras de g

Decision making is a dynamic process. Alternatives compete over time, and this competition plays out in sensorimotor processes. This is true not just for perceptual decisions or simple categorisation tasks, but also for moral decisions, which are the outcome of a complex interplay of intuition, emotion and reasoning. In this experiment, we first establish a descriptive and causal link between gaze

The MAX IV light source project is presented. The MAX IV light source will consist of three low emittance storage rings and a 3 GeV injector linac. The three storage rings will be operated at 700 MeV, 1.5 GeV, and 3.0 GeV, which make it possible to cover a large spectral range from IR to hard X-rays with high brilliance undulator radiation from insertion devices optimised for each storage ring. Th

There are two major types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Similarly characterized by hyperglycaemia and long term micro- and macrovascular complications, type 1 and type 2 diabetes have different underlying pathophysiologic processes. In Scandinavia, type 1 diabetes is common; type 2 diabetes accounts for 85% of all cases with diabetes. There is emerging evidence that type 1 and type 2 di

In a finite world, developing a sustainable society requires both a more sustainable management of resources and a more sustainable management of human beings.Therefore deep understanding of processes underlying systems of production and consumption is needed. The question that is being asked in this chapter is whether neoclassical economics can provide solid ground to further advance the economic

This study investigated cold weather safety footwear and the possible thermal effects of steel toe caps in footwear. Two boot models were manufactured and used in two variants - with (As and Ws) and without (An and Wn) steel toe cap. The boot insulation was measured with an artificial, heated foot (AHF). Experiments with 6 male subjects with boots Ws and Wn consisted of sitting for 60 minutes at -
