Background: Intensive rehabilitation is one of the most important aspects of care for people with stroke, and there is evidence that it leads to better recovery and higher levels of independence. However, pressure on resources in government funded secondary and primary healthcare settings means that for many people with stroke, intense rehabilitation is not available. Effective and efficient ways

Popular Abstract in Swedish För några år sedan uppmärksammades att ungdomars sexuella vanor hade förändrats. Ett nytt begrepp gjorde sig gällande i det offentliga samtalet: analsex. Oavsett hur förändringen av ungdomars sexuella vanor förklarades betraktades analsex med få undantag som ett oacceptabelt, onormalt och onaturligt beteende. I beskrivningarna av analsex formulerades inte enbart vad somThis dissertation deals with the drawing of boundaries between normal and abnormal, between natural and unnatural. The aim is to show how the conditions for intimacy and hence also intimacy between women have changed in modern society, how sex and sexuality have been perceived, organized, and experienced in relation to historical and cultural circumstances. The study proceeds from two collections

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen presenteras en analys av den svenska rösträttsrörelsens diskursgemenskap mellan åren 1887 och 1902. Studien fokuserar huvudsakligen på rörelsens kärna; Sveriges allmänna rösträttsförbund. Denna organisation, ledd av en överstyrelse och ett verkställande utskott i Stockholm, fungerade som rörelsens nationella ramverk under perioden 1890-1900. TraditionelltThe People, the Axe and the Root of Injustice: the Swedish Suffrage Movement's Discourse Community 1887?1902, its Production of Meaning and the Concept of Democracy In this thesis, I present a study of the Swedish suffrage movement's discourse community. The analyses focus primarily on the core of this movement, the Swedish Public Suffrage Association (Sveriges allmänna rösträttsförbund). This as

Modern molecular and radiopharmaceutical development has brought the promise of tumor-selective delivery of antibody-drug conjugates to tumor cells for the diagnosis and treatment of primary and disseminated tumor disease. The classical mode of discourse regarding targeted therapy has been that the antigen targeted must be highly and homogenously expressed in the tumor cell population, and at the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen innehåller fyra artiklar som berör olika aspekter av offentlig omfördelning i välfärdsstaten. Avhandlingen syftar till att ge kunskap om konsekvenser av, motiv för och mätande av och denna omfördelning. Den första artikeln ställer frågan: Hög hög skatteomfördelning från arbetande till icke arbetande kan motiveras av grundantagandet att naturresurser är gemThis thesis is an attempt to generate knowledge about the justification, measurement and consequences of public redistribution. The first paper poses the following question: How much redistribution from working to non-working can be justified by arguing that external resources are owned jointly by all, or that ownership should ideally be divided equally? This question is analyzed using bargaining

Popular Abstract in Swedish Acceleratormasspektrometri, AMS, är en relativt ny metod för att bestämma extremt låga koncentrationer av såväl radioaktiva som stabila atomer. Metoden innebär att man med kärnfysikalisk teknik räknar atomerna en och en. De främsta fördelarna med AMS, jämfört med konventionella metoder, är att mycket små provmängder kan analyseras och att mättiden är kort. Mängden av eAccelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a highly sensitive method for counting atoms and it is used for detecting very low concentrations of both radionuclides and stable isotopes in small samples. The two major advantages of the AMS method are that the required amount of sample material is very small, but also that the efficiency is rather high, it takes less than an hour to analyse a sample. The

Popular Abstract in Swedish Fosterövervakning under förlossningen är standard inom förlossningsvården. Målet är att identifiera avvikande händelser och då speciellt syrebrist hos fostret. Sedan början på sjuttiotalet har vågformsanalys av foster EKG studerats ur fysiologisk, klinisk och signal synpunkt. Vågformen hos ett EKG innehåller mer information än bara R-R intervallet i ett EKG dvs konventiWaveform analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram has been studied since the early seventies from both physiological, signal processing and clinical aspects. It has been found to contain more useful information than the mere detection of RR-intervals (fetal heart rate), e.g., the ST-segment giving evidence of the ability of fetal myocardium to respond to the stress of labor. In the Swedish RCT, STA

In acts of memorialisation, the objects that ”help” people get into contact with (their memory of) the deceased – like gravestones, personal collections of the deceased’s paraphernalia, objects placed at sites of sudden death, etc. – are often strictly regulated, differently in different cultures. At ”wrong” spots in the urban environment for instance, memorial places can thus be regarded as highl

The objective of this paper is to report the effects that control/operational strategies may have on plant-wide phosphorus (P) transformations in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). The development of a new set of biological (activated sludge, anaerobic digestion), physico-chemical (aqueous phase, precipitation, mass transfer) process models and model interfaces (between water and sludge line) wer

The use of celestial or geomagnetic orientation cues can lead migratory birds along different migration routes during the migratory journeys, e.g. great circle routes (approximate), geographic or magnetic loxodromes. Orientation cage experiments have indicated that migrating birds are capable of detecting magnetic compass information at high northern latitudes even at very steep angles of inclinat

Feedbacks from the climate to other components of the coupled human-Earth system are expected to strongly influence the co-evolution of human society and its environment. Representing these feedback loops between climate and society, via the Earth system's response to human activities and the subsequent effect back onto social systems, is essential in order to fully explore the dynamics of the cou

Utvärdering av ett målprotein för behandling av ledgångsreumatism Reumatisk artrit (RA), eller ledgångsreumatism som det också kallas, är en autoimmun sjukdom som 1% av världens befolkning lider av. Kroppens egna immunceller blir autoreaktiva och attackerar lederna i främst händer och fötter. Den ökade mängden immunceller i de här lederna resulterar i svullnad och inflammation, men även ben och bRheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease resulting in swelling and destruction of bone and cartilage within the small joints. The mechanism behind the disease is not fully understood, but the interaction of autoreactive T-cells with effector cells like B-cells and macrophages through cytokine signaling is believed to be important. A potential target for drug development against arthritis that

This article is based on empirical material from

Aim: Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer in the industrial countries. Due to advances regarding the treatments, primarily development of improved surgical methods and the ability to make the earlier diagnosis, the mortality has remained constant during the past decades even though the incidence in fact has increased. To improve chemotherapy and enable personalised treatment,

Several articles within the area of green chemistry often promote new techniques or products as 'green' or 'more environmentally benign' than their conventional counterpart although these articles often do not quantitatively assess the environmental performance. In order to do this, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a valuable methodology. However, on the planning stage, a full-scale LCA is considere

A review was performed of eight previously performed investigations of environmental impacts from end-consumer food waste prevention. The overall aim of the study was to investigate the state of the art in these assessments, identify key factors which could explain seen variations in GWP-emission savings, and suggest methodological improvements leading to increased potentials for cross-study compa

Introduction: There is a common understanding that driving under the influence of alcohol is associated with higher risk of being involved in crashes with injuries and possible fatalities as the outcome. Various countermeasures have therefore from time to time been taken by the authorities to prevent drunk driving. One of them has been the alcohol interlock. Up to now, interlocks have mainly been
