This paper elaborates theoretical and methodological aspects of design processes in a disability context and aims to relate them to other sciences. It particularly emphasizes situated aspects of research: the need for being there, with the users in their
In recent years, scientists have advocated the use of targeted therapies in the form of drugs that modulate genes and proteins that are directly associated with cancer progression and metastasis. Malignant melanoma is a dreadful cancer type that has been associated with the rapid dissemination of primary tumors to multiple sites, including bone, brain, liver and lungs. The discovery that approxima
Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric malignancies have substantially increased the number of childhood cancer survivors. However, reports suggest that some of the chemotherapy agents used for treatment can cross the blood brain barrier which may lead to a host of neurological symptoms including oculomotor dysfunction. Whether chemotherapy at young age causes oculomotor dysfunction
Diskuterar problem och möjligheter i Svenska kyrkans arbete med kultuarvsfrågor. Osynliggörandet av kyrkans immaterialla kulturarv lyfts fram tillsammans med en kritik av tendenser att även inom kyrkan återupprepa den åtskillnad mellan kultur och religion som återfinns redan i kulturarvsbegreppets historia.
Introduction Assessing work ability and sickness certification are considered problematic by many physicians and education and implementation of guidelines to improve knowledge and skills has been requested. Our aim was to study the association between such interventions and physicians' sick-listing practices. Methods A web-based questionnaire was sent to all physicians working in primary care, ps
Recent studies have suggested an association between human papillomaviruses (HPVs), particularly species 2 members of the genus Betapapillomavirus, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin. As most of these viruses are uncharacterized, molecular characterization and epidemiology are needed to advance our understanding of their significance in carcinogenesis. This study determined the complete
A differential absorption (DIAL) lidar system based on a Raman shifted KrF excimer laser was constructed and employed for vertically sounding measurements of tropospheric ozone, This system is described, including a presentation of measurements of Raman shifting efficiencies in hydrogen and deuterium. The performance of the new system was evaluated in measurement campaigns involving two further op
Heredity represents the strongest risk factor for ovarian cancer with disease predisposing mutations identified in 15% of the tumors. With the aim to identify genetic classifiers for hereditary ovarian cancer, we profiled hereditary ovarian cancers linked to the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome and the hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. Genome-wide arr
Aims This nationwide study aimed to determine whether venous thromboembolism (VTE) shares familial susceptibility with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods and results Data from the Swedish Multigeneration Register for subjects aged 0-76 years old for the period 1964-2008 were linked to the Hospital Discharge Register and Cause of Death Register. Familial risks of VTE and CHD were examined in two
