Vem vill inte bemötas med respekt och lyhördhet? Det är inte bara i vården som det goda mötet är betydelsefullt men i vården är det kanske särskilt viktigt. Patienter kan känna sig underlägsna och utsatta. Samtidigt ställer vården idag krav på patienterna att hålla sig informerade och ta självständiga beslut. Personalen är inte känslolösa vårdmaskiner utan individer som sannolikt fungerar bäst om

BackgroundNursing home residents in Sweden are old, frail and usually have multiple morbidities which often make dying a prolonged suffering. It has been found that older persons at nursing homes receive far less palliative care than younger persons, partly because it is difficult to identify when the final stage of life begins. The identification may help the staff to enable the older person and

In this work, we experimentally study the effects of the nitrogen concentration in laser wakefield acceleration of electrons in a gas mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen. A 15 TW peak power laser pulse is focused to ionize the gas, excite a plasma wave and accelerate electrons up to 230 MeV. We find that at dopant concentrations above 2% the total divergence of the electrons is increased and the high

Nursing homes are often places where older persons “come to die.” Despite this, death and dying are seldom articulated or talked about. The aim of this study was to explore assistant nurses’ experiences of conversations about death and dying with nursing home residents. This study is part of an implementation project through a knowledge-based educational intervention based on palliative care princ

Little is known about pain and pain treatment among people with intellectual disabilities (IDs). We aimed to describe pain and pain medications among older people with ID compared to the general population. Data on diagnoses and prescriptions were collected from national registers for the period between 2006 and 2012 for 7936 people with an ID and a referent cohort from the general population. IDs

This paper presents a robust timing synchronization method for full duplex orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on Long Term Evolution (LTE). The proposed method contains two essential steps: 1) time alignment between the desired signal and self-interference 2) normalized synchronization peak (NSP) index switching. The time alignment is to make the difference in arrival

Various benthic mapping methods exist but financing and technical capacity limit the choice of technology available to developing states to aid with natural resource management. Therefore, we assessed the efficacy of using a single-beam echosounder (SBES), satellite images (GeoEye-1 and WorldView-2) and different image (pixel-based Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC), and an objectbased image anal
