Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om intensiv familjeterapi. Presentationen av arbetet är upplagt på så sätt att jag börjar med en genomgång av forskningsläget för familjeterapeutiskt arbete. Jag presenterar därefter olika familjeterapeutiska skolors bidrag till tankestoffet inom intensiv familjeterapi. Inom denna del finns också presentationer av behandlingsprogram med bredspekThis dissertation consists of four sections. Section 1 deals with a presentation of a model for Intensive Family Therapy (IFT) and of the units practising this model. References to research in the field of Family Therapy as well as to relevant theories are made. A theoretical model for describing the functioning of these units is presented. Measuring instruments were developed on the basis of this

We present progress in the development of artificial photosynthesis, as a means to harvesting and storage of solar energy. The plan is to compose molecular systems that combine known photochemistry with emerging functional model compounds. A photochemical device for solar energy conversion contains a photosensitizer, an electron acceptor system and a donor system that prevents charge recombination

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling diskuteras förbättringar inom skallskadevården både vad gäller akut behandling och rehabilitering. Bakgrund Svåra traumatiska hjärnskador är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till död eller bestående invaliditet i västvärlden. Trafikskador dominerar, men fall (i samma plan eller från hög höjd), misshandel samt skottskador förekommer även. De två senare Mortality after severe head injury can be considerably reduce with a therapy using physiological principles for brain volume regulation and preserved microcirculation, with the main purpose of restricting the rise in ICP to reasonable levels simultaneously with preservation of adequate blood supply. This study shows that the ?Lund Concept? can reduce mortality in patients with severe traumatic bra

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla människor har säkert någon gång i sitt liv haft en vanlig förkylning med snuva, och ökad slemproduktion som främsta symtom. På luftvägsslemhinnans yta möter kroppen omvärlden i form av inhalerade partiklar, bakterier och virus som fastnar i den tunna slemfilm som normalt täcker och skyddar det yttersta cellagret. Vid irritation av slemhinnan ses ofta en förhöjd sle

Popular Abstract in Swedish I takt med att resultaten för behandling av cancer hos barn och ungdomar blivit bättre, har kraven på en god livskvalitet efter avslutad behandling ökat. Man beräknar att år 2005 kommer 1/700 unga vuxna mellan 25-35 års ålder att vara långtidsöverlevande efter barncancer. Mer än 2/3 av dem som behandlats kommer att ha någon form av sena biverkningar, och hos hälften av

SETI, our hopes or fears of a future contact with ETI, is a modern expression of an unending human obsession with the rise and fall of civilizations. People across the globe from our earliest sources to our contemporary culture have tried to understand the beginning and end of history, the creation and the doom. Factor L of the Drake Equation could in other words be understood in a longer historic

Popular Abstract in Swedish Manniskan utsatts dagligen for sjukdomsframkallande bakterier och virus, vilka maste tas omhand och oskadliggoras. Var hud och slemhinnor fungerar som ett forsta fysiskt och biokemiskt skydd. De som tar sig forbi denna barriar angrips av vart immunforsvar. De vita blodkropparna ar de celler, som snabbast rycker ut till vart forsvar och ater upp och forstor angriparen. D

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling presenteras tre studier som fokuserar på human serviceorganisationer, klientarbete, arbetstillfredsställelse och arbetsmiljö. Det övergripande syftet med denna avhandling var att med särskilt fokus på grad av direkt klientarbete och tillfredsställelse i arbetet undersöka arbetssituationen i olika typer av human serviceorganisationer. I den första stuIn this thesis, three empirical studies investigating human service organizations pertaining to client work, work satisfaction, and the work environment are presented. The general aim of this thesis was to investigate working conditions in human service organizations with particular consideration and emphasis on the extent of human service workers´ client work and their perceived level of job sati

This study is aimed at investigating and describing the different procedures of foreign language learners of Italian when they infer the meaning of unknown words in a written authentic text. Vocabulary is a crucial component in the learning process of a foreign language and many studies show that lexical inferencing is one of the most important strategies when foreign language learners encounter u

This work concerns two-dimensional numerical simulations of the flow and temperature fields inside smooth and ribbed bend (turn) parts of a U-duct with relevance for internal tip cooling of gas turbine blades. The ribs are placed internally on the outermost bend surface. The renormalization group (RNG) k-epsilon turbulence model was used to solve the momentum and energy equations inside the bend (

This article describes and analyzes the Euro cash changeover process. The European Monetary Union, EMU, is a unique event in history, although other monetary unions were formed and existed long before. Still, this giant experiment makes it possible to study changes in the monetary environment from a unique and new position. The article tries to find factors that can help to explain the different p

Human fetal brain is a potential source of neural stem cells (NSCs) for cell replacement therapy in neurodegenerative diseases. We explored whether NSCs isolated from cortex and striatum of human fetuses, aged 6-9 weeks post-conception, maintain their regional identity and differentiate into specific neuron types in culture and after intrastriatal transplantation in neonatal rats. We observed no d

Acquired ring chromosomes have been found in most types of human neoplasia, with a frequency approaching 10% in malignant mesenchymal tumours. In this study, the composition and dynamics of ring chromosomes were analysed in eight cases of acute myelogenous leukaemia, 17 solid tumours, and five cases with constitutional rings. Chromosomal banding and fluorescence in situ hybridisation were performe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cykeln som transportmedel har många fördelar för individ och samhälle. Det är ett mycket energisnålt transportmedel, det förorenar inte, bullrar inte, tar liten plats och ger dem som cyklar välbefinnande och motion. Om fler cyklade istället för att åka bil skulle detta medföra trevligare stadsmiljöer. Ökad cykling hade också kunnat bidra till en ökad folkhälsa. För närThis work presents an evaluation of bicycle lane effects on cyclist safety and the ability of bicycles to compete with car traffic. Thirteen Swedish urban streets were studied before and after bicycle lanes were introduced. Data was collected using video recordings, speed studies, road side questionnaires/interviews with cyclists/car drivers, conflict studies and accident analysis. Results showed

Severe hypoglycemia was induced in rats by insulin. The brain was fixed in situ by perfusion after the spontaneous EEG had disappeared for 30 or 60 min or after recovery had been induced for 30 or 180 min by glucose injection. Samples from the cerebral cortex from the area corresponding to the previous metabolic studies were processed for electron microscopy. The light-microscopic finding of two d

The growth of ultrathin ZrO2 films on Si(100)-(2 x 1) and Si(111)-(7 x 7) has been studied with core level photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The films were deposited sequentially by chemical vapor deposition in ultra-high vacuum using zirconium tetra-tert-butoxide as precursor. Deposition of a > 50 angstrom thick film leads in both cases to tetragonal ZrO2 (t-ZrO2), whe

Assessment of the fire behaviour of sandwich panels is continuously under discussion. The fire behaviour of these panels is a combination of material characteristics such as the core material and mechanical behaviour of the panels such as joints, dilations etc. The use of small or intermediate scale tests can be questioned for such types of products. Within the proposed European product standard
