In 2011 the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) applied for a permit to construct a disposal facility in Östhammar. The Swedish overnment is expected to make a decision in 2019. The Swedish National Council of Nuclear Waste did a survey to investigate how informed the Swedish parliamentary Members were in these issues. The first study was done with Members of Parliament (MP) in

Purpose: To investigate access to basic human rights such as health, a standard of living adequate for health, education, work, marrying and establishing a family, and voting for prosthetic and orthotic users with lower limb disabilities in Malawi. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional design and a questionnaire were used to collect data from 83 participants. Results: Most participants reported

Purpose: Trapped fourth ventricle (TFV) is a well-identified problem in hydrocephalic children. Patients with post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) are mostly affected. We tried to find out predisposing factors and describe clinical findings to early diagnose TFV and manage it. Methods: We reviewed our database from 1991 to 2018 and included all patients with TFV who required surgery. We analyzed p

The paper takes up a well-known constitutional subject concerning the limitations of private bills by reformulating the problem in system theoretical terms. This move allows for examining how the law as a social system carries through the task of establishing distinctions between legal/illegal in a situation where there is no precedence in the form of prior court decisions. After a short introduct

Laser Shock Peening (LSP) and conventional Shot Peening (SP) are processes that aim to improve the surface properties of a workpiece by inducing compressive residual stresses. The peening processes also cause martensitic phase transformation in austenitic steels. Interestingly, experimental studies report significant differences in martensite content depending on the used peening process.

For classical tomography, it is essential that the sample does not change during the acquisition of one tomographic rotation. We derived and successfully implemented a tomographic reconstruction method, which relaxes this requirement of quasistatic samples. In the present paper, dynamic tomographic data sets are decomposed in the temporal domain by projecting to a lower dimensional subspace of bas

Acetaminophen is one of the most common over-the-counter pain medications used worldwide and is considered safe at therapeutic dose. However, intentional and unintentional overdose accounts for up to 70% of acute liver failure cases in the western world. Extensive research has demonstrated that the induction of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are central to the development of acetam

Samarbetet mellan forskare i Östersjöregionen har aldrig varit starkare. Ändå finns stora utmaningar, vilket blir tydligt i en aktuell debatt i Tyskland om digitaliseringar i vården där politiker lyfter fram Sverige som förebild.Samarbetet mellan forskare i Östersjöregionen har aldrig varit starkare.

The biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) can be studied in sensitive and specific models. In a previous investigation of the permeability of the BBB after exposure to the various EMF -components of proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we found that exposure to MRI induced leakage of Evans-blue-labelled proteins which do not normally pass the BBB

Studies of native syntactic processing often target phrase structure violations that do not occur in natural production. In contrast, this study examines how variation in basic word order is processed, looking specifically at structures traditionally labelled as violations but that do occur naturally. We examined Swedish verb-second (V2) and verb-third (V3) word order-processing in adult native Sw

Idag präglas många organisationer, inte minst i offentlig sektor, av ett starkt fokuspå regelverk, juridik, tekniska system och ekonomiska resultat. Utrymmet fördet mänskliga är begränsat. I denna bok samlar Louise Bringselius 22 krönikorpå temat människa, arbetsliv och samhälle och målar upp en vision om störreutrymme för det mänskliga. Boken kan användas som underlag för samtal omframtiden eller

Background: The significance of metaphors for the experience of cancer has been the topic of extensive previous research, with "Battle" and "Journey" metaphors standing out as key. Adaptation to the patient's use of metaphor is generally believed to be an important aspect of person-centered care, especially in palliative care. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of metaphors in blogs
