The paper examines the entries of 36 words for common animal sounds in two online English dictionaries, Cambridge Dictionaries and The Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, to see what information is provided in the entries. Previous work on English dictionaries has focused on meaning explanations of referential, arbitrary words. With the examination of onomatopoeic words for animal sounds, this paper e
Symptoms of obsessive–compulsive disorder are related to atypical sensory processing, particularly sensory over-responsivity, in both children and adults. In adults, obsessive–compulsive symptoms are also associated with the attenuation of access to the internal state and compensatory reliance on proxies for these states, including fixed rules and rituals. We aimed to examine the associations betw
Purpose in life, which is a central component of the eudaimonic paradigm of well-being, has been sparsely examined in adolescence. This is unfortunate as adolescence is characterised by identity development and is a key period for the onset of mental disorders. To inform future research on well-being and purpose in life in adolescents, we drew factors from several fields of research, including men
Aim: To further develop the Person-Centred Care instrument for outpatient care (PCCoc), evaluate its user-friendliness and content validity, and to explore its basic psychometric properties in various outpatient settings for adults with long-term conditions. Background: Person-centred care (PCC) has been identified as a key factor to provide high-quality care. However, there is still a lack of ins
PURPOSE: Many municipalities today, together with other stakeholders, offer group exercises for the older population via municipal meeting places, focusing on promoting good health. During the Covid-19 pandemic, these group exercises either continued in a modified form or ceased. The aim of this study was to explore involved stakeholders' experiences of group exercises for older persons arranged v
This paper investigates the possibility of using empirical tool life models to predict tool life in a side milling application in a medium carbon steel, C 45E. To do this, an extensive dataset containing 46 data points with different machining parameters are produced. Four different empirical models: Taylor's equation, Colding's equation and Extended Taylor both using depth of cut and feed as well
Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are responsible for transporting hexose molecules across cellular membranes. In adipocytes, insulin stimulates glucose uptake by redistributing GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. In unstimulated adipose-like mouse cell lines, GLUT4 is known to be retained intracellularly by binding to TUG protein, while upon insulin stimulation, GLUT4 dissociates from TUG. Here, we report t
The climatic conditions at the concrete containment wall surfaces of two nuclear reactor containments were examined and quantified as a basis for predicting the drying process. Two types of nuclear reactor containments were studied, for a BWR reactor and a PWR reactor in Sweden. They both have a thick concrete wall with a steel lining inside, but the BWR containment walls are enclosed in a buildin
Clothing evaporative resistance is one of the most important parameters for clothing comfort. The clothing evaporation resistance can be measured on a sweating guarded hotplate, a sweating thermal manikin or a human subject. The sweating thermal manikin gives the most accurate value on evaporative resistance of the whole garment ensemble compared to the other two methods. The determination of clot
Det finns en hel del information om plagiat och upphovsrättsfrågor ute på nätet, ibland med motsägelsefulla budskap. Tyvärr är det ändå svårt att hitta dokument som beskriver begripligt hur man ska skriva sitt examensarbete eller sin doktorsavhandling utifrån detta. Hur är rekommendationern, och vad är tillåtet respektive inte tillåtet när det gäller användning av material frå andra, och vad gälle
Before the minimum tax directive (2003/96/EC) took effect in 2004, Swedish industries had enjoyed untaxed electricity for over a decade. While the introduction of the tax increased costs for many companies, energy intensive industries were eligible for exemption if they entered an agreement on energy efficiency. Sweden quickly implemented the directive and simultaneously launched the Programme for
This paper presents a QVCO and divider for a 28 GHz SiGe PLL. It was designed in a SiGe process with fT= 200 GHz. The PLL is intended to be used for beam steering in an 81-86 GHz E-band transmitter. Phase control is implemented by programmable current injection into the loop filter. The simulations in Spectre use a layout extracted view with parasitics for the QVCO and the frequency divider and an
