Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) is a radio frequency (RF) technique that can be used to detect the presence of quadrupolar nuclei, such as the 14N nucleus prevalent in many explosives and narcotics. The technique has been hampered by low signal-to-noise ratios and is further aggravated by the presence of RF interference (RFI). To ensure accurate detection, proposed detectors should exploit the

BACKGROUND:: There is a lack of knowledge about how the provision and availability of specialized palliative care relates to the quality of dying in hospital and community-based settings. AIM:: We aimed to explore the quality of care during last week of life in relation to different levels of palliative care development. DESIGN:: We investigated access to palliative care in Southern Sweden, where

BackgroundThe quality and relevance of the information gathered is paramount when using the student voice to improve study programmes.Summary of workIn an on-going project we follow three cohorts of nursing students through their three-year programme. Methods used are two validated inventories (DREEM and CLES+T), written “free” comments, focus groups, semester meetings, and interviews with individ

This article deals with multi-unit questioning turns used in different genres of institutional interactions. Analyzing in detail a corpus of about 400 multiunit questions from health care interactions, court trials, police interrogations, and social welfare office talks from Sweden and Finland (all in the Swedish language), a number of sequential patterns are established. Some of these sequential

The article uses conceptual metaphor theory in order to analyse how the concept of “copy” in copyright law is expanding in a digital society to cover more phenomena than it originally did. For this purpose, the legally accepted model for valuing media files in the case against The Pirate Bay (TPB) is used in the analysis. When four men behind TPB was convicted in District Court of Stockholm, Swede

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen är att beskriva och utvärdera en behandlingsmetod, som avser att öka gångförmågan hos lårbensamputerade. Metoden, vilken tidigare inte är prövad för den här gruppen patienter, kombinerar sjukgymnastiska metoder, huvudsakligen använda inom psykiatrin, med vedertagna ortopediska och biomekaniska behandlingsprinciper. Den syftar till att öka kroppsmA gait re-education programme, combining physiotherapy with a psychologically conscious therapeutic approach, was applied to nine unilateral transfemoral amputees, whose amputation was caused by trauma or tumour. The participants trained once a week for a mean 10 months. The median age was 33 years (range 16– 51). They had worn a prosthesis for more than 18 months and had completed conventional re

Prevention strategies are critical to reduce infection rates in total joint arthroplasty (TJA), but evidence-based consensus guidelines on prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) remain heterogeneous and do not necessarily represent this particular patient population.

Information technology is a vital driver in today’s business environment. Recent developments of IT have facilitated for the relatively easy creation of markets on the Internet, so called B2B-marketplaces. However, judging from the survival rate of B2B-marketplaces (5 to 10 per cent), it seems like B2B-marketplaces are doing something wrong. This paper scrutinises several theoretical frameworks re

Sedan 2015 har Sverige en uttalat feministisk utrikespolitik, med målet att ett genusperspektiv ska genomsyra all politisk verksamhet. Parallellt med denna nya politiska inriktning fortsätter Sverige att exportera krigsmateriel till icke-demokratiska och konfliktdrabbade stater, något som har gett upphov till kritik. Genom att granska den statliga myndighet som ansvarar för beslut om krigsmateriel

Världen som vi känner den hålls samman av fyra grundläggande krafter. Gravitationskraften drar oss mot jorden och håller samman planeter, stjärnor och galaxer. Den elektromagnetiska kraften styr i princip allt annat vi upplever i vår vardag. Den starka kärnkraften håller samman protoner och neutroner i atomkärnor och binder de kvarkar som i sin tur bygger upp dessa partiklar, och den svaga kärnkraWe present a generalisation of the flavour-ordering method applied to the chiral nonlinear sigma model with any number of flavours. We use an extended Lagrangian with terms containing any number of derivatives, organised in a power-counting hierarchy. The method allows diagrammatic computations at tree-level with any number of legs at any order in the power-counting. Using an automated implementat

Utvecklingen av samhällsfastigheter har under de senaste åren gått från att vara en kommunal angelägenhet till något som allt fler aktörer fått upp ögonen för. Ett stort behov av skolplatser och särskilda boenden för äldre har inneburit att flera svenska kommuner avyttrat sin mark till både privata och kommunala bolag som får stå för utvecklingen av morgondagens skolor och äldreboenden. FörsäljninIn recent years, the development of properties for public use has gone from being only a municipal matter to a segment with an increasing number of stakeholders. A rising need for school facilities and residential care homes has resulted Swedish municipalities divesting properties to private or public companies. The sale of land own by municipalities shall be made to a market value according to th

Gorongosa Nationalpark ligger i de centrala delarna av Moçambique, närmare bestämt i Urema Graben som utgör den sydligaste delen av det Östafrikanska riftsystemet. Nationalparken kan beskrivas som ett omfattande ekosystem bestående av diverse flodplan, gräsmarker och skogsbeklädda områden. Efter en lång period av inbördeskrig under senare delen av 1900-talet hade dock antalet stora däggdjur i områGorongosa National Park in central Mozambique is situated at the southernmost extension of the East African Rift System (EARS), the Urema Graben. The Nhandugue River flows over the western margin of the Urema Graben, and marks the northwest border of Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique. The park is protecting a vast ecosystem of floodplains, grasslands and woody coverage. The study is focusedd on

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Se och tolka vid LHC Vid partikelkollisioner omvandlas de kolliderande partiklarnas rörelse- och massenergi till nya partiklar. Den bakomliggande fysiken kan bara förstås med en kännedom om vad som har kol-liderat och vad som har producerats i kollisionen. Vid partikelacceleratorn Large Hadron Col-lider (LHC) vid CERN-laboratoriet utanför Genève, på gränsen melThe ALICE Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is used for tracking and measuring momentum and specific energy loss, dE/dx, of charged particles produced in hadron collisions at the LHC. This Master’s dissertation describes the statistical identification of charged hadrons (pions, kaons and protons) on the relativistic rise (transverse momentum pT > 3 GeV/c) of the dE/dx curve of the ALICE TPC. Two compl

A moral Historiography without Moralism. Critical views on modern Church History Efforts for realism without moral judgments have identified morals with present law. This leads to positivistic positions, where moral questions are being answered with references to historical legal situations only, without moral implications. With the political changes 1989–1990 a change in historiography followed.
