Population A total of 100 consecutive women referred for colposcopy for the first time after an abnormal cervical smear. Methods Women in the study group completed prior to colposcopy the State-Trait Anx
This report is the thesis of the research and development project entitled: Development of a Resource Saving Concept for the Establishment of a Climate Suitable for the Storage of Objects Worthy of Preservation in Storerooms at Museums and in Archives. In short: The ZEPHYR project. This work is the result of a research and development project. The aim is to improve the possibilities of using pass
A gas chromatographic method has been established for determination of Irganox 10 10 and 1076 after saponification. The analytes were saponified with methanolic potassium hydroxide, acidified with hydrochloric acid, and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The dry residue was dissolved in xylene and analyzed by GC with flame-ionization detector (FID). Compounds were separated on a polar
Most patients referred to physiotherapy with low back pain are without a precise medical diagnosis. Identification of subgroups of non-specific low back pain patients may improve clinical outcomes and research efficiency. A pathoanatomic classification system has been developed, classifying patients with non-specific low back pain into 12 different syndromes and three subcategories based on histor
This paper treats estimation of the Wigner-Ville spectrum (WVS) of Gaussian continuous-time stochastic processes using Cohen's class of time-frequency representations of random signals. We study the minimum mean square error estimation kernel for locally stationary processes in Silverman's sense, and two modifications where we first allow chirp multiplication and then allow nonnegative linear comb
Popular Abstract in Swedish Utveckling av en flerdimensionell residual-distributions lösare för Large Eddy Simulation av industriell turbulenta strömningar.This thesis presents the results of the author's research activity to develop a time-space accurate flow-solver for Large Eddy Simulations (LES), based on the Multidimensional Residual Distribution approach. The aim of this work is the attempt to develop a compact high-order algorithm which includes multidimensional flow physics, in hope of creating a better algorithm for LES of turbulent compress
This study examines the attempts made by one local government in China, Shenzhen, to improve its investment environment for foreign-invested enterprises through administrative reforms between 1980 and 1997. Three empirical questions are posed: what reforms have been undertaken, what effects have they had and how have changes in the organizational environment affected them. The theoretical aim is
An improved apparatus for obtaining luminescence (delayed light emission) images of plants is described. It consists of a phosphoroscope equipped with an imaging lens and an electronic image intensifier. It is also equipped with light-sources for obtaining images with reflected light and fluorescence light. Damage to the photosynthetic system caused by virus, insects, high or low temperature, UV r
Title: The impact of environment on music students' commitment to music - a study of attitudes among music students and their parents. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the importance of environmental influence on childrens' musical interests and factors inspiring children to play instruments and sing. The parents' opinions, regarding the extent of the effect of the environmen
Denna examensrapport har kommit till som resultat av en varumärkesanalys av bioteknikföretaget Novozymes nya varumärke "Rethink Tomorrow". Syftet med studien har varit att komma fram till hur jag ska presentera varumärket samt den nya produktionen på dotterbolaget Novozymes Biopharma Sweden AB i en stillbildsfilm. Utöver varumärkesanalysen har jag även gjort en kvalitativ enkätstudie där
This thesis investigates the Designated Operational Entities (DOEs) under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol. The DOEs serves as independent third-party auditors with the task of validating, verifying and certifying projects under the CDM. The majority of the DOEs are private entities. This is in line with the CDM objective of including the private sector in the climate ch
Förflyttningshjälpmedel kan skapa svårigheter att ta sig fram i den fysiska miljön, vilket kallas tillgänglighetsproblem. Användbarhetsproblem kan också uppstå, som innebär att personen inte kan göra det han eller hon vill i den fysiska miljön. Lek och rekreation är viktiga aktiviteter för barn. Syftet med denna studie var att få förståelse för vilka platser barn som använder förflyttningshjälpmed
This thesis is an attempt to discuss the proposals to improve the statuses and rights of the legally resident third country nationals living in the European Union. As denizens, third country nationals have full civil and social rights but they do not have any political rights. This is believed to denote an anomaly, which can be corrected through the grant of political rights. However, political ri
Offentliga verksamheter genomgår ständigt olika typer av omorganisationer. Sedan 1950-talet har Sveriges förvaltning präglats av omväxlande mer centraliserad styrelseform eller mer decentraliserad styrelseform. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur regeringar, genom tiderna, argumenterat för omorganisationer av offentliga verksamheter. Förvaltningen är av en särskild karaktär och skall ta hänsyn
Fördomar vid rekrytering utgör ett stort problem för utlandsfödda personer i Sverige (Bromé m fl, 1996; Integrationsverket, 2006). För att undersöka namnets (utländskt vs. svenskt) betydelse för hur en arbetssökande (kompetent vs. inkompetent) uppfattas fick 116 studenter bedöma fiktiva CV:n. Hälften av försökspersonerna gjorde sina skattningar under omständigheter där jämställdhet betonades och h
LevMacinstrumentet är ett analysinstrument under utveckling som utnyttjar leviterade droppar på 100 nl ? 2 ?l. Genom att använda leviterade droppar med den omgivande atmosfären som enda kontaktyta, undviker LevMac?en de vanligaste problemen associerade med miniatyrisering av analytiska tekniker, t.ex. kontaminering av provet genom desorption från provbehållaren eller andra gränsytor, adsorption av
Utvecklingen av elrullstolar har öppnat upp mängder av möjligheter för personer med funktionshinder som påverkar deras förflyttningsförmåga. Hjälpmedel kan underlätta för en person att vara delaktig i meningsfulla aktiviteter. Genom delaktighet skapar vi relationer och hittar mål och mening med livet. Delaktighet förändras med åldern. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur elrullstolsanvändare u
The interest for wind power has increased in Sweden. Northern Sweden is especially interesting due to that a new wind resource map shows that there are areas in northern Sweden that have more potential for wind power than what have been known before. Therefore E.ON Vind is interested in finding out if, and where, there are suitable places for establishment of wind power in northern Sweden. The pur
