This thesis adds to the knowledge base of how the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) can be optimized to secure a more sustainable working career for people with severe mental illness (SMI). The thesis has given the IPS-participants an active voice about what it is like to start to work in a Swedish context, visualised the psychiatric disability in relation to work, discerned the support and p

Osteoarthritis is a widespread disease leading to physical disability affecting quality of life. It is primarily regarded as a cartilage disease but affect all tissues of a joint. Osteoarthritis can be regarded as an organ failure. Knee osteoarthritis is common in Kuwait, especially in women. The main symptoms are pain, stiffness and weakness affecting knee function. The diagnosis is made by histo

We have employed time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy to study the impact of HfO2 surface capping by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on the optical properties of InP nanowires (NWs). The deposition of high-kappa dielectrics acting as a gate oxide is of particular interest in view of possible applications of semiconductor NWs in future wrap-gated field effect transistors (FETs). A high n

Variations in galactic cosmic rays reaching the Earth's atmosphere produce globally synchronous variations in the production rates of cosmogenic radionuclides. In consequence, they leave their imprint in tree-ring 14C and ice-core 10Be records. By identifying this signal and correcting for the known geochemical influences on the radionuclides, it is possible to compare and synchronize the tree-rin

We demonstrate a single DNA molecule optical mapping assay able to resolve a specific Escherichia coli strain from other strains. The assay is based on competitive binding of the fluorescent dye YOYO-1 and the AT-specific antibiotic netropsin. The optical map is visualized by stretching the DNA molecules in nanofluidic channels. We optimize the experimental conditions to obtain reproducible barcod

Objectives This systematic review aimed to identify published observational methods assessing biomechanical exposures in occupational settings and evaluate them with reference to the needs of different users. Methods We searched scientific databases and the internet for material from 1965 to September 2008. Methods were included if they were primarily based on the systematic observation of work, t

The metallation of tetrapyrroles is believed to proceed via a sitting-atop (SAT) complex, in which some of the pyrrole nitrogen atoms are still protonated and the metal ion resides above the ring plane. No crystal structure of such a complex has been presented, but NMR and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data has been reported for Cu2+ in acetonitrile. We have used density functio

This article should serve as an introduction to a relatively new topic in ethnological studies requiring very specific methods as it involves both offline and online research as well as material objects and immaterial practices. How do we embark on an interdisciplinary venture such as this, and be sure to produce qualitative research of high standard? How should gaming mothers best be studied? In

Popular Abstract in Swedish Paternalism i allmänläkarens vardag - om läkarens makt och patientens rätt till självbestämmande. I mitt vardagliga arbete som allmänläkare möter jag patienter med olika symtom och sjukdomar. Hur bör allmänläkaren förhålla sig till en patient som ställer krav på en åtgärd – en speciell undersökning, ett recept på en viss medicin eller ett intyg – som läkaren inte finneThe overall aim of this thesis was to identify and analyse situations raising the question of possible paternalism in everyday general practice in Sweden. Both questionnaires to a random sample of respondents and interviews have been used. The ethical awareness among GPs in Sweden and the variety of ethical issues, suggest that medical ethics is a subject of high relevance in general practice. Th

Background. Seigneuric et al. (2000) showed that reading comprehension in primary school age children with typical language development (TD) is strongly dependent on working memory. The purpose of the present study was to compare reading comprehension in primary school age children with mild/moderate hearing impairment (HI) and children with a preschool diagnosis of specific language impairment (S

Sammanfattning-The use of hierarchical structures for providing excellent wireless connections for customers has attained growing attention. Models to investigate the QoS requirements rather quickly become complicated and hard to analyze. In the paper a first rough analytical approach for the answer is given. As the users devote more and more time to be connected through wireless connections, and

As the commercial Fe-Mo-oxide catalyst for methanol oxidation to formaldehyde suffers from deactivation by Mo volatilization, alternative catalysts are of interest. Therefore, TiO2-, alpha-Al2O3- and SiO2-supported (Fe)-V-O catalysts were prepared with loading up to 30 μmol of each metal per msq. surface area of the support. The samples were activity tested using a high inlet concentration of meth

Solvent extracted cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), conventionally known as natural CNSL, is a mixture of several alkenyl phenols. One of these alkenyl phenols is anacardic acid, which is present at the highest concentration. In view of anticipated industrial applications of anacardic acid, the objective of this work was to isolate anacardic acid from natural CNSL by supercritical carbon dioxide (sc

Two main topics are dealt with in this thesis. Firstly, the performance of condensing boilers with finned tube heat exchangers and premix burners is evaluated. Secondly, ways of avoiding condensate formation in the flue system are evaluated. In the first investigation, a transient heat transfer approach is used to predict performance of different boiler configurations connected to different heati

Popular Abstract in Swedish Gastroesofageal refluxsjukdom innebär att maginnehåll backar (reflux) upp från magsäcken till matstrupen på ett onormalt sätt. Hos den friska individen finns flera mekanismer som skyddar matstrupen från reflux, vilket tydligt åskådliggörs av att man efter en måltid kan ställa sig upp och ner utan att föda backar upp i matstrupen. Vid refluxsjukdom föreligger defekter inEsophageal pH monitoring is important in the clinical management of patients with symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and in research aiming to clarify the mechanisms involved in the development of GERD complications. Catheter-based techniques for pH recording are uncomfortable, not well tolerated by all patients and cannot reliably measure acid exposure in the most dist

PURPOSE:: To describe riboflavin and ultraviolet light (UV) collagen crosslinking as an effective treatment for infectious keratitis. METHODS:: A 25-year-old previously healthy female contact lens user was diagnosed with unilateral severe keratitis with unclear pathogenesis, although the clinical presentation suggested acanthamoeba as the infectious agent. A 4-mm diameter, annular, semi-opaque inf
