Ceramic Production Technology and Society : postcolonial approaches to material culture studies in southern Africa - some unanswered questions

AbstractRecently we have called for the broadening of the theoretical base in order to understand the social and other contexts of material culture items such as pottery (Pikirayi and Lindahl, 2013). The challenges encountered by archaeologists remain the huge ceramic assemblages, which are however, central in defining group identities in southern African Iron Age studies. but whose analyses Is alRecently we have called for the broadening of the theoretical base in order to understand the social and other contexts of material culture items such as pottery (Pikirayi and Llndahl, 2013).

Light, activity, and sleep: Design and usability evaluations of a web-based course supporting changes to routines and the home

While research indicates that indoor lighting, exposure to daylight, physical activity, and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood, and daily rhythm, strategies are needed to support behavioral changes among older adults who often spend more time at home after retirement. The objective was to design a web-based course to encourage behavior change related to light, activity, and sleep.

I skuggan av Karl August : Nya perspektiv på Fersenska upploppet 1810

On 20 June 1810 Stockholm was rocked by a full-blown and violent riot. A funeral precession for the recently deceased crown prince Charles August turned into a furious riot which eventually developed into an attack on the entire existing social order. The marshal of the realm, Axel von Fersen, was killed and large crowds fought during the rest of the day regular street battles against military and

Course development : lessons learned from usability evaluations

This article draws on usability evaluations of a behavioural change intervention delivered as a web-based course. Special attention was given to usability as the course is directed at older adults aged 70 and above. Experiences from the usability evaluations in a lab environment and the real world, followed by stepwise refinements, can serve as examples of what must be considered in developing cou

Protocol for the T-REX-trial : Tailored regional external beam radiotherapy in clinically node-negative breast cancer patients with 1-2 sentinel node macrometastases - An open, multicentre, randomised non-inferiority phase 3 trial

Introduction Modern systemic treatment has reduced incidence of regional recurrences and improved survival in breast cancer (BC). It is thus questionable whether regional radiotherapy (RT) is still beneficial in patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN) macrometastasis. Postoperative regional RT is associated with an increased risk of arm morbidity, pneumonitis, cardiac disease and secondary cancer.

Omställning till elbussar : Lärdomar, erfarenheter och rekommendationer

På senare år har elektrifiering av stadsbussar i kollektivtrafiken växlat upp i tempo och idag finns flera exempel på hur man har hanterat omställningen i svensk kollektivtrafik. I projektet e(+)bus har vi jobbat med fallstudier i Sverige (Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö, Jönköping, Ystad, Piteå). Vi har även gjort en internationell utblick till Norge (Oslo och Trondheim) samt Nederländerna (Eindhoven)

Trafiksäkerhetsgranskning : Genomgång av några länders manualer/riktlinjer

Fyra manualer/riktlinjer har gåtts genom enligt internationella bästa praktik kriterier. Dessa fyra manualer/riktlinjer valdes då trafiksäkerhetsgranskning som en systematisk procedur startade i England och dess grundläggande principer förfinades i Australien. Det är också av intresse hur Sveriges grannländer, Danmark och Norge har utvecklat sina egna nationella manualer.

Trafiksäkerhetsgranskning - Riktlinjer

Baserat på genomgång av internationellt etablerade bästa praktik riktlinjer och fyra länders (Australien England, Danmark och Norge) manualer/riktlinjer har riktlinjer för trafiksäkerhetsgranskning i Sverige utarbetats.

Proving gender and sexuality in the (homo)nationalist Greek asylum system : Credibility, sexual citizenship and the ‘bogus’ sexual other

The aim of this article is to analyse and critique Greek authorities’ expectations for a ‘credible’ account in queer asylum claims. As some of the caseworkers’ accounts portray, through 16 semi-structured interviews, in order to be deemed ‘credibly queer’ applicants are expected to have passed through a painful, discursively narratable process of self-realization and have suffered enough in their

A bowhead whale vertebra embedded in marine limit beach sediment on Barentsøya, Svalbard

A cross-valley beach terrace in Iladalen in the south-eastern corner of Barentsøya (Svalbard) is interpreted as built by long-shore sediment transport and deposition, with its maximum height at 88 m a.s.l., marking the marine limit (ML) at deglaciation. A whale vertebra (most probably from a bowhead whale, Balaena mysticetus) was found embedded in the upper part of the littoral sediments at a hei

The open abdomen in trauma, acute care, and vascular and endovascular surgery : comprehensive, expert, narrative review

Background: The open abdomen is an innovation that greatly improved surgical understanding of damage control, temporary abdominal closure, staged abdominal reconstruction, viscera and enteric fistula care, and abdominal wall reconstruction. This article provides an evidence-informed, expert, comprehensive narrative review of the open abdomen in trauma, acute care, and vascular and endovascular sur

Cardiovascular events, mortality, early retirement and costs in >50 000 persons with chronic heart failure in Sweden

Aims: We aimed to examine cardiovascular events (stroke and myocardial infarction [MI]), mortality, early retirement and economic costs over 5 years in people with chronic heart failure (CHF) and matched controls in Sweden. Methods and results: Individuals (aged ≥16 years) living in Sweden on 1 January 2012 were identified in an existing database. Individuals with CHF were propensity score matched

Computed Tomography-Based Quantitative Texture Analysis and Gut Microbial Community Signatures Predict Survival in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study aims to combine computed tomography (CT)-based texture analysis (QTA) and a microbiome-based biomarker signature to predict the overall survival (OS) of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients by analyzing their CT scans (n = 129) and fecal microbiome (n = 58). One hundred and five continuous CT parameters were obtained, where principal comp

Tying Shock Features to Impact Conditions : The Significance of Shear Deformation During Impact Cratering

Impact cratering is associated with extreme physical conditions with temperatures and pressures far exceeding conditions otherwise prevailing at the surfaces of terrestrial planets. As a consequence, shock-metamorphosed rocks contain unique deformation features such as planar deformation features in quartz, high-pressure mineral polymorphs and melted rock. While the physical conditions of formatio

Isolation, Behavioral Identification, and Pathogenicity Assessment of Entomopathogenic Fungi from a Forest Wood Borer

Forest wood borers (FWB) cause severe tree damage and economic losses worldwide. The release of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) during the FWB emergence period is considered an acceptable alternative to chemical control. However, EPF resources have been significantly less explored for FWBs, in contrast to agricultural insect pests. This paper presents a protocol for exploring EPF resources from FWBs

Citizenship and mobility of the poor: Sweden during the 19th century

The distinctive features of the modern form of citizenship include, among other things, that it is both internally inclusive and externally exclusive; that it establishes legal equality so that membership of the state supersedes all other memberships and allegiances; and that it defines membership as independent of residence. These characteristics largely evolved during the “long nineteenth centur

SAI-CH-6 : Development of a Short Form of the State Anxiety Inventory for Children At-Risk for Type 1 Diabetes

Objective: To develop a reliable and valid short form of the State Anxiety Subscale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-CH) in the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study. Methods: A Development Sample of 842 10-year-old TEDDY children completed the STAI-CH State Subscale about their type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk. The best 6 items (three anxiety-present a
