The resonance lines in Li I and Na I both exhibit a puzzling discrepancy between experiment and accurate ab initio calculations. Only results from a semiempirical method, that in principal neglects core-core correlation, agree with the experiments. The agreement with a multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock calculation, including only core-valence correlation, shows that this might be fortuitous. A metho

We describe the use of a two-wavelength beam deflection technique in the measurement of electron density and expansion velocity in a laser-produced plasma. Beam deflection measurements are made with a spatial resolution of 250-mu-m, temporal resolution of 25 ns, and a dynamic range of 1000. Several techniques for determining the spatial and temporal variation of the electron density from beam defl

OBJECTIVE.: To quantify immunoglobulin and C1q on circulating cell-derived microparticles (MPs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to correlate this with clinical and serological parameters. METHODS.: Sixty-eight clinically well-characterized SLE patients, 38 healthy controls (HC), 6 systemic sclerosis (SSc), and 6 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were included. The numbers of annexin V-b

Electroconvulsive seizures (ECS), an animal model of electroconvulsive therapy, strongly stimulate hippocampal neurogenesis, but it is not known how this relates to the therapeutic effect or to the unwanted cognitive side effects. Recent findings suggest that neurogenesis might be important for flexible learning in changing environments. We hypothesize that animals receiving ECS treatment, which i

The aim of the study was to explore nursing students' experiences of aspects important for their learning process and their ability to handle the complexity of the nursing degree program. The study was longitudinal and qualitative based on interviews with nursing students, six women and two men aged 20-36, during their three years of education. In all, seven patterns were found embracing aspects o

Ebola and MERS are contagious diseases with high mortality, and separate handling of blood samples in the laboratory is necessary. Most people who arrive in Sweden with suspicious symptoms will likely have other diseases than Ebola/MERS, for example malaria or pneumococci, but we still need to take care of these patients and be able to provide optimal treatment of electrolyte disturbances, kidney

This paper argues for the importance of using the regional innovation systems (RIS) approach as both an analytical framework and a policy tool for generating economic development in developing countries. The paper reconceptualizes the RIS-model to the context of developing countries. RIS is normally based on endogenous growth models; however, in this paper we extend it to rely on external capital,

De nya sjukpenningreglerna kommer att få en rad konsekvenser inte bara för den enskilde utan också på våra arbetsplatser. De arbetsrättsliga reglerna har inte ändrats, men den verklighet som de verkar i har förändrats radikalt och nya problemställningar dyker upp. Beviljas inte fortsatt sjukpenning ligger det nära till hands att arbetstagaren återkommer till arbetsplatsen och denna ”sjuknärvaro” m

Critical review of Lena Israel's doctoral thesis.

Under den senaste tioårsperioden har ofta förhållandena i grundskolan varit på tapeten. Ett tag var alla skoldebattörer helt enkelt tvungna att tala om "grundskolans kris". I denna debatts kölvatten kom en rad välmenande, bakåtsträvande, framåtsyftande reformförslag. Tvång, mindre klasser, normer, nivågruppering, basfärdigheter, ordning och reda och allt vad det nu var. Stundtals kom också autenti
