Närståendes närvaro hos patienter som är kritiskt sjuka underlättar enligt studier patienternas vistelse på intensivvårdsavdelningen. För att stödja och tillhandahålla information till de närstående bör personal på intensivvårdsavdelningar vara medvetna om närståendes uppfattningar. I Kanada har ett enkätformulär FS-ICU utvecklats för att undersöka närståendes tillfredsställelse med vården och med
Trots att kunskaperna om och intresset för smärta och smärtlindring har ökat de senaste åren drabbas fortfarande många patienter en inadekvat smärtlindring och många patienter förväntar sig smärta postoperativt. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka kvinnor i olika åldrar avseende förväntningar och upplevelser av postoperativ smärta och smärtlindring samt hur stor betydelse den preoperativa in
The preferred method for synthesising therapeutic peptides today is by Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS). SPPS is a wasteful process, where the main component of the waste is hazardous solvents, i.e., N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or dichloromethane (DCM). 3 It is therefore desirable to search for new and greener solvents to use for SPPS, which is what has been studied
This master thesis is commissioned by the company Haldex Brake Products AB based in Landskrona. The company is acting on the road vehicle market. Amongst other products the company produces disc brakes for the heavy road vehicle industry. Disc brakes developed by Haldex, based on the sliding caliper principle, are during certain circumstances experiencing problems with malfunction of the brake due
The aim was to assess the ability of microcosms (laboratory-scale shallow ponds) as a post polishing stage for the remediation of artificial textile wastewater comprising two commercial dyes (basic red 46 (BR46) and reactive blue 198 (RB198)) as a mixture. The objectives were to evaluate the impact of Lemna minor L. (common duckweed) on the water quality outflows; the elimination of dye mixtures,
Lipidic cubic phase systems (LCPs) are excellent carriers for immobilized enzymes due to their biocompatibility and well-defined nanoporous structure. Lipidic cubic phases act as a convenient matrix to incorporate enzymes and hold them in the vicinity of electrode surfaces in their fully active forms. Corynascus thermophilus cellobiose dehydrogenase (CtCDH) was trapped in a monoolein cubic phase,
Background: Balancing Everyday Life (BEL), a new group-based intervention for mental health service users, was implemented in Sweden. Mental health service users often experience group interventions as meaningful, but knowledge of the process of meaning-making in a group is lacking. Aim: To explore participants’ perceptions of the group in the Balancing Everyday Life (BEL) lifestyle intervention;
The objective of the present work is to, in a single material, combine a number of molecular design strategies that have proven successful in the preparation of high-performance anionexchange membranes (AEMs) for alkaline fuel cells. Hence, we here report on highly conductive and alkali-stable poly(phenylene oxide)s carrying flexible side chains attached via alkyl spacer units, where each side cha
BackgroundPower output and force development during exercise are thought to be important indices of performance in elite athletes. The aim of this preliminary study was to determine the forces applied at the footrest during ergometric kayaking in individual kayakers at different competitive levels.MethodsThree elite female kayakers participated voluntarily in the study. Oxygen consumption (VO2) an
AIMS: The main objective was to determine premature stroke risk in men and women in Sweden with previous hospital admission for Type 1 diabetes or without previous hospital admission.METHODS: All individuals in Sweden aged 15-34 years at first hospital admission for Type 1 diabetes and aged 15-49 years at first hospital admission for stroke during the study period (1987-2001) were identified.

This article seeks to develop the recent attention to memory by outlining a hermeneutical approach that links memory closely to philosophical reflections on referentiality, narrativity and temporality. From insights of modern and ancient theories of memory, the the present approach insists that memory is referential in that its images are held to derive from outside memory, that it is narrative in
