Authors: Johannes Nöbbelin and Peter Strandkvist. Title: Addiction & Interventions, the individual solutions. Supervisor: Helena Hansson Assessor: Carina Tigervall The aim with this study was to analyze and examine the factors underlying the social secretary's choice of treatment for addicts. In order to better understand the complexities in the choices social workers face when they invest
This paper describes a pilot study aiming to map the anatomy of agoraphobia based on Lewin’s equation, B = f (P, E), stating that behaviour (B) is a function of the person (P), the environment (E) and the interaction between them, and by adapting Drottenborg’s model of sensible aesthetics describing “beautiful” and “ugly” traffic environments in relation to arousal through the basic emotional proc
Olovligt tillgängliggörande av upphovsrättsligt skyddat material genom fildelning är ett av vår tids mest debatterade ämnen. Teknikens utveckling har gjort det möjligt för enskilda personer att snabbt och kostnadsfritt tillgodogöra sig perfekta kopior av musik och film. Detta resulterar i att kompensation uteblir för upphovsmän och deras rättighetshavare.

The development of technology has made it possible for individual people to quickly and free of charge assimilate music and movies in perfect condition without any compensation being paid to the creators or other rights holders.

Rat liver microsomes contain two distinct forms of PtdIns 4-kinase which were resolved by heparin-Sepharose chromatography. One enzyme was identified as the type II PtdIns kinase previously isolated from exocytotic vesicles. The other enzyme, however, was a novel PtdIns 4-kinase isoform with properties differing from any other PtdIns kinase so far characterized. Both kinases were recognized by a m
The cause of retinopathy in diabetes mellitus is unknown. Among factors suggested to be involved in the development of retinopathy is altered platelet function. In the present study, platelet aggregation was measured in vitro after stimulation with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and collagen in patients with and without proliferative retinopathy. The results show that patients with proliferative reti
Background and aims: Monochromatic pulsating light may have effects of importance for wound healing, and promising results were obtained in an open study on the healing of pressure ulcers, which motivated the present study. Methods: One hundred and sixty-four in- and outpatients with grade II and III ulcers were treated with monochromatic pulsating light or placebo over the ulcerated area, accordi
Darwin’s finches are an iconic bird group that has transformed our perception of evolutionary dynamics in wild populations. Surprisingly, the parasites and diseases of these finches are virtually unstudied. This study simultaneously investigates blood and intestinal parasitism in Darwin’s Small Ground Finch Geospiza fuliginosa and intestinal parasitism in the Medium Ground FinchGeospiza fortis. We
This article deals with the limits of divine power in the Old Testament. The aim is to show how one of the traditional attributes from ancient philosophical metaphysics, namely, omnipotence, does not fit the depiction of YHWH in the Hebrew Bible. The biblical traditions know of several limitations of divine power that must be reconciled to regional and functional limits, and the one must difficult
Studies spirituality in the Commentary on Joshua by the Benedictine monk Irimbert of Admont. Special attention is given to the author's use of ornate language (rhyme) and logical argument (reason).
The first lifetime measurements for doubly ionized uranium are reported in the present work. They relate to five levels belonging to the configurations 5f(2)6d(2), 5f(2)6d7s and 5f(3)7p and have been obtained with a time-resolved laser-induced-fluorescence technique, the ions being produced by laser ablation of a uranium oxide target.
Abstract in Undetermined This volume contains essays by five British philosophers and one Swedish philosopher working in metaphysics and in particular metaphysics as it relates to the philosophy of science. These philosophers are the core of a tight network of European philosophers of science and metaphysicians and their essays have evolved as a result of workshops in Lund, Edinburgh, and Athens.
Neurons have been neglected as cells with a major immune-regulatory function because they do not express major histocompatibility complex class II. Our data show that neurons are highly immune regulatory, having a crucial role in governing T-cell response and central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. Neurons induce the proliferation of activated CD4+ T cells through B7-CD28 and transforming growt
Structural and mechanical alterations during hypertrophy of the rat portal vein were investigated. Growth of the vessel was induced by a partial ligature of the vessel causing an increased transmural pressure. Vessel segments from animals kept with ligature for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days, were compared with vessels from sham-operated animals. Maximal active force and vessel cross-sectional area increased
Dual-broadband pure rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy was investigated in terms of thermometry and species concentration measurement for studies of combustion. The modelling of rotational CARS spectra under conditions of high pressure at room temperature was investigated. Resonant terms of the Stokes (CSRS) type were found to have a significant effect on the intensity of the anti
This article outlines an experimental and numerical study on Poisson’s ratio of High Performance Concrete, HPC, subjected to air or sealed curing. Eight qualities of concrete (about 100 cylinders and 900 cubes) were studied, young and in the mature state. The concretes contained between 5 and 10% silica fume, and two concretes in addition contained air-entrainment. Parallel studies of strength and
