In two late Mesolithic cemeteries, dated to about 5000 BCE, at Skateholm, Scania in Sweden, some graves were found that contained clothing decorations, mainly in the form of tooth beads but also other animal parts that were used as embellishments. These are perforated front teeth, mostly from red deer but also wild boar and in rare occasions from elk and aurochs. The tooth beads were in female graIn two late Mesolithic cemeteries, dated to about 5000 bce, at Skateholm, Scania in Sweden, some graves were found that contained clothing decorations, mainly in the form of tooth beads but also other animal parts that were used as embellishments.

We demonstrate a tool for identifying, prioritizing and evaluating vulnerabilities in software. The tool aims to improve security in products by making maintenance more efficient and robust. Software components and release versions are matched with vulnerability information from open resources. The results are visualized on several different levels, ranging from product portfolio and individual pr

In this study, the mechanical improvement of the platinum coated nanoporous gold is investigated by performing molecular dynamics simulations. The tensile properties of the structure is enhanced by a stress relief annealing which prevents the high stress concentration observed between the coating and the core materials. The annealing process is performed at 500K for 100ps with a heating and coolin

Paying privately for childcare is a growing phenomenon, and its rise in Sweden is particularly interesting because of the vast prevalence there of publicly funded day care. This book combines family practice and childhood studies theory with the personal perspectives of nannies and au pairs, parents, and the children themselves, to provide new understandings of what constitutes ‘good care’. The au

As much as one-third of the dietary fibre intake in a normal Western diet originates from fruits and vegetables. Nutritional effects of dietary fibre can to a great extent be related to the physicochemical properties of the fibre, such as composition, solubility, viscosity, water-holding capacity and molecular weight.

In this contribution, we discuss the menu of policy regimes available for Iceland. Each regime is evaluated against the characteristics of the Icelandic economy. We start with a short description of the Icelandic economy. We then examine the costs and benefts of alternative monetary regimes. We conclude that no regime Iceland has tried since attaining full sovereignty in 1918 has provided economic

It is well-known and experimentally conrmed that the mechanical re-sponse to loading of small enough structures diers from what applies to themacro-scale. This is valid for structures of linear measures at the nano-scale,typically below about 50nm. In addition to pure size eects also the crys-tallographic orientation becomes important at this scale. This study demon-strates the mechanical response

Methods and apparatus in a mobile receiver for selecting among methods of estimating a received power of at least one signal. A method includes selecting a first method or a second method of measuring the received power based on a cell timing and a measurement interval. Information is received from a first base station about the measurement interval during which to perform the first method and the

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has come to prominence as a priority for policy makers and healthcare professionals. There are many well-described guidelines on how healthcare professionals should handle AMR. However, professional practices are sometimes different from what the guidelines prescribe. Based on a non-scientific case, the article explores and discusses healthcare professionals’ practic

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att öka förståelsen för vad det innebär för tonåringar att placeras i fosterhem. en utgångspunkt tas inom objektrelationsteori: relationen till de egna föräldrarna har betydelse för hur tonåringen hanterar separationen från dem, liksom för hur han/hon relaterar till fosterföräldrarna. 27 tonåringar i åldern 13-16 år undersöktes 2-3 månader efter dThe aim of the study is to improve on the understanding of the implications for adolescents of being placed in foster care. The basis for the study is that the adolescents´ previous relationship with their parents has significance for the manner in which the adolescents will handle the separation from the parents and how they will relate to foster parents. 27 adolescents aged 13-16 years were exam

Att lära sig ett främmande språk som grekiska är varken svårare eller lättare än att lära sig andra språk, men det tar tid och innebär en hel del arbete. Denna grundläggande lärobok i nytestamentlig grekiska innehåller allt det du behöver för att kunna börja läsa Nya testamentet på dess grundspråk. Nytestamentlig grekiska inleds med en presentation av det grekiska alfabetet, dess tecken och uttal

Den här skriften handlar om ljus och ljusets betydelse för oss människor. Tolv forskare med vitt skilda bakgrunder samlas och diskuterar frågor som skrider över gränserna. Vad är ljus egentligen? Hur kan vi förstå ljus? Hur påverkar det oss? På vilket sätt kan vi använda oss av det? Vilka tekniska möjligheter har vi att skapa och styra olika sorters ljus? Vilka möjligheter ger det oss inför fram

Anhörigprogrammet Familjeband (engelska ”Family Connections”) är ett 12-15 veckors pedagogiskt program för anhöriga till patienter med borderline-personlighetsstörning och andra patienter med svårigheter att reglera sina känslor. Detta program har översatts till svenska och implementerats vid olika behandlingsenheter i landet. Denna studie beskriver en utvärdering av Familjeband såsom programmet g

Abstract in Danish LÆRING I OG AF KLINISK PRAKSIS sigter mod at forberede og styrke både de professionsbachelorstuderende indenfor sundhedsområdet, primært sygeplejestuderende, i deres møde med de kliniske uddannelsessteder og de kliniske uddannelsessteders møder med de studerende. Bogen belyser en række udfordringer, som disse møder giver, og hvilke læringsmuligheder der opstår, når den studeren

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen handlar om hur radiovågor tar sig fram i miljöer där saker som hus, väggar och fönster är i vägen. Framför allt ligger fokus på hur signalen från en sändare placerad utomhus kan nå fram till en mobil terminal (t. ex. en mobiltelefon) som befinner sig inomhus. Hur mycket signalen dämpas när den passerar väggen är av stor betydelse när man ska avgöra hur långThis thesis deals with radio wave propagation in environments where the propagation is severely influenced by surrounding objects, mainly walls and other building structures. As an introduction, a brief description is given on propagation terms like loss, delay and dispersion along with system functions relevant for the topic. The focus is then placed on propagation from an outdoor transmitter to
