When goals for assistance to a group are defined from 'the outside', what happens to the group members' own wishes? In the regulations concerning the food for elderly long-term-care patients in Swedish hospitals, the exact vitamins and nutrients which every meal should contain are indicated very precisely. What happens in this situation to the patients' own wishes? The question was actualized when

Reviews the book, Using the Bodies of the Dead: Legal, Ethical and Organisational Dimensions of Organ Transplantation by Nora Machado (1998). Machado's book is important for impressing this fact on the reader. Machado describes the strains that arise when an individual is reduced from being someone's next of kin, the focus of a private and above all family-oriented situation, to being a body, and

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The extremely rare Rh null phenotype is characterized by the absence of all Rh antigens on erythrocytes. It is divided into the regulator and amorph types based on the underlying genetic background. The more common regulator type depends on critical variants silencing RHAG, which encodes RhAG glycoprotein, necessary for RhD/RhCE expression. Rh null cells have altered exp

We present a method for human brain fixation based on simultaneous perfusion of 4% paraformaldehyde through carotids after a flush with saline. The left carotid cannula is used to perfuse the body with 10% formalin, to allow further use of the body for anatomical research or teaching. The aim of our method is to develop a vascular fixation protocol for the human brain, by adapting protocols that a

Background: Most children with Wilms tumour are successfully treated with multidrug chemotherapy and surgery. These treatments cause severe side effects for the patients, an issue that needs to be addressed by exploring other treatment options with less or no side effects. One option is to complement current therapies with agents that could potentially induce tumour cell differentiation, for examp

In this work, we present the fabrication and investigation of the properties of quasi-vertical gallium nitride (GaN) fin field effect transistors (FinFETs) on silicon carbide (SiC) substrates and the influence of a postgate metallization annealing (PMA). The devices reveal low subthreshold swings (SSs) down to around 70 mV/dec. For a 1- $\mu \text{m}$ -thick drift layer, a low ON-resistance below

Cette étude est ancrée dans une approche transdisciplinaire de l’apprentissage des langues secondes et étrangères (Douglas Fir Group 2016), composée de trois niveaux interdépendants : un niveau macro, caractérisé par des structures idéologiques et politiques à l’échelle de la société, un niveau méso où se situent les établissements scolaires régis par des contraintes sociales, économiques et cultu

Photoredox catalysis of organic reactions driven by iron has attracted substantial attention throughout recent years, due to potential environmental and economic benefits. In this Perspective, three major strategies were identified that have been employed to date to achieve reactivities comparable to the successful noble metal photoredox catalysis: (1) Direct replacement of a noble metal center by

In this article I call for an awareness of the mobile commons– the informal support that exists among migrating people, NGOs, and activists – in relation to the realization of family reunification. Taking its point of departure in a concrete case of family reunification for young unaccompanied children, the article seeks to expose how the traditional legal notion of the liberal subject fails to pr

The detailed kinetic mechanism of the author was extended by reactions describing formation and consumption of excited species which are formed in NH3+CH4+air flames, complementing the modelling efforts presented in Part 1. Currently the model includes the following excited species: O(1D), OH*, O2*, CH*, CH2(1), NO2*, NO(A), NH*, N2(A), NH2*, C2*, CO2*, CH2O*, and CN*, among which many were observ
