IntroductionChildren affected by Paediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) cannot consume enough nourishment by mouth. PFD is highly prevalent and can affect the child's growth and development as well as family life.AimTo illuminate Swedish parents’ experiences of living with a child with PFD.MethodSemi-structured interviews via telephone or video calls were conducted with 14 purposefully recruited mother
We report an efficient process for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as the oxidant catalyzed by Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates (Ag-Cu/POM). The Ag-Cu/POM catalyst was prepared by galvanic displacement in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyethylene glycol. The catalysts were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultravio
Incorporating time as a unit of analysis can enrich the study of agency by showing the specific ways in which actors are temporally constrained when responding to economic disturbances. In this paper, this is done by examining how the behavior of actors is affected by timing norms such as term limits that may be associated with an actor's position, as for example, an elected mayor or university vi
The elimination of radio-iodinated porcine tissue kallikrein, after intravenous injection in the pig, showed a rapid initial clearance from plasma (T1/2 approximately 10min), followed by a phase of slower elimination (T1/2 approximately 100min). Gel filtration of plasma samples showed complexes with alpha1-alpha2-macroglobulin (A1a2-M) and alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (A1PI), which decreased with t
Background: CSF and PET biomarkers of amyloid β and tau accurately detect Alzheimer's disease pathology, but the invasiveness, high cost, and poor availability of these detection methods restrict their widespread use as clinical diagnostic tools. CSF tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau181) is a highly specific biomarker for Alzheimer's disease pathology. We aimed to assess whether blood p-t
The objective was to investigate if diffusing laser fibres can be modelled as conductive heat sources without miscalculating coagulated volumes, and if finite element analysis, disregarding light transport, may be used for three dimensional (3D) treatment planning in interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT). Temperature distributions and coagulated volumes with a diffusing laser fibre, as compared t
Luke’s account of the last supper (22:14–38) is here analyzed according to the pattern of chreia elaboration, which was one of the preparatory rhetorical exercises known as Progymnasmata in the Hellenistic school. The study begins with a brief overview of the preserved progymnastic textbooks or manuals and their contents, and then proceeds to show how influences from the exercises can be detected
A common assessment of postural control often involves subjects standing on a compliant surface, such as a foam block, to make balance tests more challenging. However, the physical properties of the foam block used by different researchers can vary considerably. The objective of this study was to provide an initial approach for investigating whether two of the foam properties, i.e. density and ela
The Nordic Grid facility (NorduGrid [1]) came into operation during summer 2002 when the Scandinavian ATLAS HEP group started to use the Grid for the ATLAS Data Challenges (DC) and was thus the first Grid ever contributing to an ATLAS production. Since then, the Grid facility has been in continuous 24/7 operation. NorduGrid is being used by a growing set of active users from various scientific are
For years tools and techniques such as Brainstorming, Mind-Maps and Rich Pictures have been used in both academic and professional practices to assist people with making sense of complex problem spaces. These tools have their supporters and in many cases their uses can be argued to be interchangeable. Seldom however have they been systematically applied in combination in theory or practice. Even t
Background: The aim was to evaluate data quality and psychometric properties of an instrument for measurement of health-related quality of life: DISABKIDS Chronic Generic Module (DCGM-37) used in school-aged children with cancer. Methods: All school-children diagnosed with cancer in Sweden during a two-and-a-half year period were invited to participate in the study. Analysis was performed on combi
We present measurements of e+e- production at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV. The invariant yield is studied within the PHENIX detector acceptance over a wide range of mass (mee<5 GeV/c2) and pair transverse momentum (pT<5 GeV/c) for minimum bias and for five centrality classes. The e+e- yield is compared to the expectations from known sources. In the low-mass region (mee=0.30-0.76
This thesis investigates to what extent Swedish students of Japanese can understand wasei-eigo, as well as their thoughts and attitudes toward it. It further investigates if some word categories are more incomprehensible than others and what aspects can determine their comprehension. The survey consisted of a questionnaire with 30 words, divided into 4 different categories, which the participants
Hotet från terrorism har under 2000-talet ökat. Den 7 april 2017 blev ökningen ännu mer markant, då ett terrordåd inträffade i Stockholm. Strax efter denna händelse tillsatte regeringen en utredning för att utreda om ytterligare lagstiftning på området än den redan relativt omfattande regleringen som fanns behövdes. Utredaren kom man fram till att kriminalisering av deltagande i en terroristorganiThe threat from terrorism has during the 21st century increased. When an act of terror occurred in Stockholm on the 7th of April 2017, the threat got even more apparent. Terrorism legislation has for a long time been a well-regulated area in Swedish law, however soon after this incident the Swedish government assigned an investigation to see if further legislation in the area was required. In the
The inspiration of this study stems from my own experiences of working for the people with developmental disabilities at group homes in accordance with LSS- act (1993:387). The Swedish LSS-act ought to assure a good life to those in need of support for their everyday life. The purpose of the law is to encourage full participation of social activities, promote even-living conditions and opportunity
Rätt till egendom som mänsklig rättighet är inte bara en juridisk fråga utan även politisk, och det fanns olika åsikter angående dess skydd vid Europakonventionens tillkomst. Detta gjorde att den inte kom att skyddas i själva konventionen, utan istället i artikel 1 i tilläggsprotokoll 1. Under artikeln skyddas enskildas egendom från inskränkningar från statens sida, och artikeln är en av de oftastThe right to property as a human right is apart from a legal question also a political one, and different opinions concerning its protection arose during the negotiations leading up the European Convention on Human Rights. These differences in opinions led to the right to property not being protected under the convention itself, but instead in article 1 of protocol no. 1. The article protects priv
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur personer som leder startup-team rapporterar att teamet påverkats av personalförändringar, och hur de hanterat dessa inom företaget. Eftersom startup tenderar att präglas av mycket personalförändringar och förväntas leverera snabba resultat, finns där ett särskilt intresse att kunna hantera personalförändringar så effektivt som möjligt. Framförallt ämnaThe purpose of this study is to investigate how people who manage startup teams report that the team is affected by team member change and how such change is handled within a company. Even though frequent team member changes are common in startups, fast results and efficient working are still expected, therefore there is big interest in handling team member changes as efficiently as possible. The
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what factors, if any, are most prevalent in the valuation of small cap stocks, with limited ownership as compared to their fundamental values, where crowd based trading and insights do not necessarily prevail. Methodology: A deductive and comparative study realized in quantitative research based upon a sample selection of smaller companies. Find
This study focuses on the demand side of prostitution and sex-trafficking. The aim is to examine how young men construct the purchase of sex in the male peer group. We did six qualitative interviews with Swedish men between 20 and 30 years of age and used the theory of sexual scripts and stigma to analyse them. Through this, we could obtain that there is male peer groups where buying sex is constr
