The memory is by far one of the brain’s most important and fundamental functions, but perhaps also one of the most unreliable. In order for information to be retained in memory, the brain performs, in a few milliseconds, an outstandingly complex process that is also very sensitive to external disturbances. With the information technology available today, it is easy to be distracted by redundant in

There is limited research conducted into the field of male victims of intimate partner abuse. Although, recent Swedish studies show that male victimization from female offender may be equally prevalent as female victimization of partner abuse.

Stopping unsafe work is not only a legal but moral necessity for those that perform work in safety critical industries. Stop Work Authority Cards, Interventions, Refusals of Unsafe Work and the Andon Cord have become symbolic and physical abstractions of decentralization – a shifting of authority down to those which perform the dirty and dangerous work.

Riskbaserad monitorering – ett sätt att säkerställa kvalitet i kliniska studier Kliniska studier undersöker effekter av medicinska behandlingar på människor. De är hårt reglerade för att säkerställa patientsäkerhet, det vill säga att försökspersonerna inte utsätts för onödiga hälsorisker, och för att säkerställa ett pålitligt studieresultat. Därför behöver alla processer och all data i varje studStudy quality is of paramount importance in clinical studies to ensure patient safety and reliable evaluation of the treatment, where the latter also entails the safety of future patients. Therefore, for example monitoring is required to minimise any risk of quality loss. Traditionally, the method for monitoring has been 100% source data verification which is costly and not sufficient. Today, auth

Ge dig ut på äventyr och utforska nya oceaner hemma i din egen soffa. Med hjälp av mätningar av havets fysikaliska egenskaper beskriver detta arbete hur man kan visualisera realistiska hav i realtids applikationer.Rendering and simulating an ocean as realistic as possible is a desirable effect to many outdoor scenes of movies and video games. The difficulties with simulating a plausible ocean arise from the complex behavior and scaling of the ocean waves. The length of the waves may vary from being just a few millimeters up to several kilo meters long and the waves can for instance break and line up with th

Då en make ärver en make med släktingar i första eller andra parantelen uppstår arvsrättsligt en efterarvsrätt. Denna efterarvsrätt har tidigare inte förtydligat huruvida en försäkringsersättning som utfaller genom förmånstagarförordnande till efterlevande make ska inräknas i efterarvet. 1975 kom ett rättsfall från högsta domstolen som fastställde just detta, att det faktiskt föreligger rätt till When a spouse inherits another spouse, who has children from a previous marriage, parents, siblings or nephews alive, a right to secondary inheritance occurs according to Swedish law. Before 1975, it was not clarified whether this right to secondary inheritance should include an insurance reimburse-ment due to an insurance with a spouse as beneficiary.
