Artikeln utreder hur ny kommunikationstekik genom 1900-talet förändrat människans förhållningssätt till det icke-materiella såsom ett liv efter döden och föreställningen om "andra sidan".

PURPOSE: To examine the effects of focal laser photocoagulation on general and local retinal function and to relate electrophysiological findings with changes in protein kinase C (PKC) alpha expression. METHODS: Twelve rabbits were treated with 70 spots of laser photocoagulation in the central cone-rich retina. The operated eyes were investigated with electroretinography (full-field ERG and multif

Katekeser är en genre som vanligtvis förknippas med lutheransk religionsundervisning, och inte revolutioner. Dess form, att ställa en antal givna frågor och ge ett definitivt svar för varje fråga synes lämna föga utrymme för självständigt och kritiskt tänkande. Frågandet som teknik är en retorik; syftet är att styra läsarens tänkande i avsedd riktning. Inpräntande av normer, inte radikala reflekti

Risk factors for suicidal behaviour include adverse life events as well as biochemical parameters acting, e.g. within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and/or monoaminergic systems. The aim of the present investigation was to study stressful life events and biological stress markers among former psychiatric inpatients, who were followed up 12 years after an index suicide attempt. At the time

PURPOSE: To investigate retinal function after reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) by filtration surgery in patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma. METHODS: Eleven patients (11 eyes) with medically uncontrolled glaucoma underwent trabeculectomy. Clinical investigation, visual field (testing with standard automated perimetry (SAP-Humphrey), optical coherence tomography (OCT), full-field

During the 16th century, and thus late in a european perspective, the Scandinavian language usage went from normally giving dates according to the church year calendar (each day having a name of its own, mostly referring to a saint) to normally giving them according to our modern calendar (numbering the days within each named month). The present investigation shows how this transition more exactly

Retinoic acid (RA) is an important morphogen that regulates many biological processes, including the development of the central nervous system (CNS). Its synthesis from vitamin A (retinol) occurs in two steps, with the second reaction - catalyzed by retinal dehydrogenases (RALDHs) - long considered to be crucial for tissue-specific RA production in the embryo. We have recently identified the Xenop

In ADB Safegate's airfield lighting product portfolio, two sizes of LED inset luminaires consist of similar internal components with different design. This project has investigated the possibilities to find generic design solutions for the internal components to fit both product sizes. By using modularized components the company will decrease the indirect costs of the product, for instance cos

Seminar date: 2nd June 2014 Purpose: The study's purpose is to investigate accountability in social enterprises. This is to answer the main thesis question of whether social enterprises and their accountability could provide the world with an alternative form of capitalism where humanitarian crises are better addressed. Methodology: The study applies a qualitative approach based on inductive

This thesis presents results from a study of socioeconomic and climate effects connected to a sugarcane ethanol expansion scenario in the Pontal do Paranapanema region, Sao Paulo state, Brazil. Sugarcane ethanol prodcution is expected to grow in the Sao Paulo state. Pontal do Paranapanema is the only region in the state where a large scale sugarcane expansion can take placré and this expansion wil

In recent years, Swedish municipalities have introduced programs that combine Swedish language education with vocational training. However, due to the novelty and lack of an established framework, data and research on their effectiveness in improving immigrant labour market performance is limited. This essay addresses this gap by estimating the causal effect of vocational training combined with Sw

Bakgrund: Meningsfulla aktiviteter är viktigt för att uppleva hälsa och välbefinnande. Idag finns en brist på meningsfulla aktiviteter för personer med demens som bor på särskilt boende för äldre. Personer med demens kan ha svårt att självständigt engagera sig i aktiviteter. Arbetsterapeuter har möjlighet att stötta människor att engagera sig i meningsfulla aktiviteter. Syfte: Att identifiera hur Background: Meaningful activities are important for experiencing health and well-being. Today there is a lack of meaningful occupations among people with dementia living in residential aged care facilities. People with dementia may have difficulty engaging in activities independently. Occupational therapists have the opportunity to support people to engage in meaningful activities. Aim: To identif
