Stories after the Bosnian War: Competition for Victimhood

Abstract in UndeterminedThe aim of this article is to analyze verbally portrayed experiences of 27 survivors of the 1990’s war in northwestern Bosnia. Focus lies on describing how the interviewees portray the social phenomenon of ”victimhood”, and to analyze discoursive patterns which contribute to constructing the cathegory ”victim”. When, after the war, different actors claim this ”victim” statu

2D-Mapping of the Droplets Sauter Mean Diameter in a Hollow-cone Spray Using SLIPI-LIF/MIE

In this work, we report an original experimental approach for mapping the droplets Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) of a hollow-cone water spray using the SLIPI-LIF/MIE technique. Water mixed with a non-toxic fluorescing dye is continuously injected at 20 bars injection pressure and the formed hollow-cone spray is illuminated using a continuous wave laser. The illumination wavelength is carefully chosen

Quality of life in patients with cronical lower limb ischaemia: Before and after revascularisation.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Traditionellt har effekten av behandling inom kärlkirurgi främst utvärderats med objektiva mått, som till exempel beräkning av ankelindex och gångsträcka. Dessa data ger värdefull information men de återger inte hur patientens klarar sitt dagliga liv eller hur behandling återverkar på deras livskvalitet. Detta styrks i tidigare forskning som visar att korrelationen mellThe aim of this thesis was to assess quality of life in patients with varying degrees of lower limb ischaemia before and after revascularisation, to assess quality of life in relation to the degree of ischaemia and the respondents’ sense of coherence (SOC) and in comparison with a healthy control group, and to compare two different quality of life instruments regarding their usefulness as outcome

Aspects of nutrition in geriatric patients - Especially dietary assessment, intake and requirements

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många av de äldre patienterna som är inlagda på sjukhus eller som bor i särskilda boenden inom äldreomsorgen är idag undernärda. En sammanställning av Socialstyrelsen över svenska studier under de senaste 20 åren visade på en genomsnittlig frekvens av undernäring på 28%. Ett otillräckligt kostintag leder till undernäring. Kroniska sjukdomar är ofta en bakomliggande orsThe aim of this thesis was to develop and test the feasibility of a dietary record routine, where nursing staff assess the patient’s food and fluid intake based on standardised portion sizes and household measurements. The energy intake (EI) was studied with a dietary record in 61 geriatric patients. During the 6-month follow-up 11 patients died and an EI below median (1378 kcal) was associated w

Food selection and fitness optimisation in insects

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populærvidenskablig sammenfatning på dansk Både løbebiller og springhaler er nyttedyr i det danske landbrugsland. Løbebiller er oftest betragtet som rovdyr, der spiser skadelige insekter i marken og er derved medvirkende i skadedyrsbekæmpelsen. Springhaler er minder insekter, som oftest lever i de øverste jordlag og som hovedsagelig spiser svampehyfer. Svampene nedbrydTo optimise fitness is a continuous process which assists species survival in changing environments. Choosing an optimal diet is an essential part of the optimisation process and a key element of optimal foraging theory. The relationship between food choice and fitness optimisation has been tested on three ground beetles and several collembolan species by using food items naturally occurring in th

Candelaria fibrosoides – a new species from Peru.

The new species Candelaria fibrosoides is described. It is known from one locality in Ayacucho in Peru where it was found growing at high altitudes on shrubs and cacti in open pasture land. The new species is superficially similar to C. fibrosa but differs in having 8-spored asci and a thallus with an ecorticate lower surface.

Optical Studies of InAs Quantum Dots in III-V Semiconductors

I this thesis, optical studies of InAs quantum dots (QDs) in GaAs and InP are presented. The electronic structure of these zero dimensional structures, grown in the Stranski-Krastanow growth mode, was studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), junction space-charge techniques (JSCT) and photoconductivity (PC) measurements. For the InAs/GaAs system we present single-dot photoluminescence spec

Det moderna genombrottet i nordisk universitetsfilosofi 1860-1915

Under senare delen av 1800-talet och en bit in på 1900-talet genomgår filosofiämnet vid samtliga nordiska universitet en förändring som kan beskrivas som ett modernt genombrott. Förändringsprocessen består väsentligen i att idealistiska systemfilosofier av den typ som hegelianismen och boströmianismen representerar utmanas av nyare riktningar som positivism, värdeidealism och livsfilosofi.
