The flow behavior in rib-roughened ducts is influenced by the inclination of ribs and the effect is investigated in the present study by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The local flow structures between two adjacent ribs were measured. The Reynolds number was fixed at 5800. The flow field description was based on the PIV results in planes both parallel and perpendicular to the ribbed walls at va

We analysed 57 years’ uninterrupted trapping data of autumn migrating Ruddy Turnstones Arenaria interpres at Ottenby, south-eastern Sweden (1593 full-grown birds in 1947–2003; of them 574 birds with standardised trapping in 1976–2003). Numbers trapped decreased significantly for both adult and juvenile birds in the total dataset (–0.34 and –0.57 ringed birds per year), and for juveniles in the 197

Meso-tetra(hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) (INN: Temoporfin) is a potent photodynamically active substance in clinical use today. Usually, the substance is given systemically and a known drawback with this administration route is a prolonged skin light sensitization. For the first time to our knowledge, a liposomal Temoporfin gel formulation for topical application was studied in connection with pho

Disturbances in glucose metabolism are of importance for violent behaviour in men, but studies in women are lacking. We used the 5h-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in this study of 17 female psychiatric patients, selected for violent behaviour directed against themselves (deliberate self-harm) and 17 healthy controls matched for age and BMI. Following OGTT, patients had higher glucose levels at

75 RG2 glioma-carrying Fischer rats were treated by photon activation therapy (PAT) with monochromatic synchrotron radiation and stable thallium. Three groups were treated with thallium in combination with radiation at different energy; immediately below and above the thallium K-edge, and at 50 keV. Three control groups were given irradiation only, thallium only, or no treatment at all. For animal

The current study aimed to characterize changes in EEG-related measures after noxious stimuli in neonates, and to assess their potential utility as measures of pain and/or discomfort during neonatal intensive care.Seventy-two healthy term infants were investigated: Twenty-eight had a non skin-breaking pin-prick on the heel, randomized to receive either oral glucose (n=16) or water (n=12) before th

L-DOPA remains the gold-standard treatment for Parkinson's disease but causes motor fluctuations and dyskinesia. Metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5) has been proposed as a target for antidyskinetic therapies. Here, we evaluate the effects of fenobam, a noncompetitive mGluR5 antagonist already tested in humans, using rodent and nonhuman primate models of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. In bo

I tider av instabilitet och snabba förändringar krävs det av organisationer att snabbt kunna ställa om till nya förutsättningar för att kunna säkra sin överlevnad. Kreativitet har föreslagits vara en viktig komponent för att kunna göra detta möjligt. För att kreativitet ska kunna blomstra på arbetsplatser krävs det att vissa förutsättningar är uppfyllda. I denna studie var syftet att ta reda på omIn times of uncertainty and rapid changes it is crucial for organizations to be able to adjust to new circumstances in order to secure their survival. Creativity has been suggested as an important component in making this possible. In order for creativity to flourish in the workplace certain conditions need to be met. In this study the aim was to find out whether group personality, aggregated indi

Icons are widely used throughout society; moreover, they play a significant role in computer user interfaces, frequently appearing on websites and applications. In many cases, they are used instead of text labels to make a user interface (UI) more universally understood, among other things. Since icons reside within the UI, they should adhere to UI design principles, such as ”reduce short-term mem

Tidigare forskning på diverse olika sporter har visat att mått på visuell kontroll, exempelvis tidig och lång sista blickfixering på målobjektet (Quiet Eye Onset och Quiet Eye Duration) innan en kritisk fas av kinetisk aktivitet hänger ihop med positivt utfall på precisionsuppgifter. Mått på kinetisk aktivitet har också studerats och visat att exempelvis maxhastighet i rörelsen är lägre på träffarPrevious research on various sports has shown that aspects of visual control, namely an earlier onset and longer duration of the final fixation on the target (Quiet Eye Onset and Quiet Eye Duration) before a critical movement is associated with successful outcome on a precision task. Measurements on kinetic activity have also been studied and shown that hits are associated with lower max velocity

Under 2020 uppmärksammades den svenska rättspsykiatriska vården i både tidningsartiklar och radiodokumentärer. I centrum för granskningen stod några av de personer som vårdas inom rättspsykiatrin trots att de inte har ett vårdbehov som påkallar denna typ av vård. I uppsatsen granskas det nuvarande systemet gällande påföljdsbestämning för psykiskt störda lagöverträdare. Presumtionen mot fängelsesThe Swedish system for care within the field of forensic psychiatry has been under scrutiny by the media in 2020. Different parts of Swedish media have highlighted that there are people treated in facilities for forensic psychiatry despite not having a need for medical care. In this essay I study the current sanctions applicable for mentally ill individuals who have committed crimes. The presump

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what factors, if any, are most prevalent in the valuation of small cap stocks, with limited ownership as compared to their fundamental values, where crowd based trading and insights do not necessarily prevail. Methodology: A deductive and comparative study realized in quantitative research based upon a sample selection of smaller companies. Find
