A group of 38 male workers at a secondary smelter (period of employment 2-35 years; median 10 years) was divided into two subgroups depending on bone-lead concentration, arranged as 19 matched pairs according to age, education and job level. The median concentrations for finger-bone lead (Bone-Pb) were 16 vs. 32 μg/g; for current blood-lead (B-Pb), 1.6 vs. 1.8 μmol/l; for retrospective peak blood-
Artikel om möten mellan historia och konst, framför allt med fokus på såväl nationella, triumfatoriska och monumentala historier som traumatiska historier som har tolkats konstnärligt med referenser till bland annat historiemåleri och monument. Texten är skriven i anslutning till utställningen Memory Matters på Skissernas museum i Lund.
This is an article on meetings between art and history, both regarding more traditional concepts as monuments but also modern, traumatic histories interpreted by artists.
This study examines the effects of teachable agents’ expressed self-efficacy on students. A total of 166 students, 10- to 11-years-old, used a teachable agent-based math game focusing on the base-ten number system. By means of data logging and questionnaires, the study compared the effects of high vs. low agent self-efficacy on the students’ in-game performance, their own math self-efficacy, and t
Educational software based on teachable agents has repeatedly proven to have positive effects on students’ learning outcomes. The strongest effects have been shown for low-performers. A number of mechanisms have been proposed to explore this outcome, in particular mechanisms that involve attributions of social agency to teachable agents. Our study examined whether an expression of high versus low
Presentation at panel on Nordic Trust, International Anti-corruption Conference, Copenhagen. This paper argues that trust and control should not be seen as opposites, and that formulating a theory of Nordic corruption (which is based on networks and cronyism rather than bribery) a better approach is a hybrid concept of 'trusted control' or 'controlled trust'
Background: the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS-GMS) recommendations for training in Geriatric Medicine were published in 1993. The practice of Geriatric Medicine has developed considerably since then and it has therefore become necessary to update these recommendations.Methods: under the auspices of the UEMS-GMS, the European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS) and the European Academy
For diagnostic purpose, particles can be labeled with radionuclides or contain magnetizable materials making them suitable for external measurements of their biokinetics in vivo. In therapy, particles can be used as targetable drug-delivery systems or, if containing radioactivity, for internal radiation therapy. Loaded with, e.g., stable iodine, particles may also be used for photon activation the
When starch is heated in water, it absorbs water and swells. is is the process of gelatinization, a process that causes a tremendous change in the rheological properties of the starch suspension. e properties of starch gels are very sensitive to factors such as shearing, temperature, heating or cooling rate, and, of course, the source of the starch and the presence of other components. e gelatiniz
