Omsorg kring barn studeras oftast utifrån föräldrars perspektiv och utifrån antaganden om kärnfamiljen som omsorgens nav. Vad händer om vi istället tar utgångspunkt i barns berättelser om omsorg? Vilka omsorgspraktiker och –relationer framträder då?

Neisseria meningitidis is a normal commensal of human mucous membranes that is no longer considered to be restricted to the nasopharynx. Due to the practice of oral sex, the mucous membranes of the cervix, urethra or anus have become a potential infection site for this bacterium. Inserting an intrauterine device (IUD), can alter the protective barrier of the endocervical mucosa, allowing for bacte

Artikeln beskriver ett nytt sätt att syntetisera tröghetsnavigeringssystem. Systemet är baserat på en princip för vertikalindikering, som uppfanns av författarna 1959. Ett komplett navigeringssystem enligt den nya principen har utvecklats och byggts av Philips Teleindustri i Stockholm. Detta system har genomgått en omfattande testning i flygplan. De första testflygningarna utfördes med ett litet t

Let B be a Banach space and F any family of bounded linear functionals on B of norm at most one. For x ∈ B set || x || = supΛ∈F Λ (x) (||· || is at least a seminorm on B). We give probability estimates for the tail probability of S* n = max1≤ k≤ n ||Σk j=1 Xj || where {Xi}n i=1 are independent symmetric Banach space valued random elements. Our method is based on approximating the probability that

On Gotland medieval ruins and unfinished churches bear witness of a Golden Age, which suddenly was interrupted. With the enormous chancel ofKällunge as a point of departure I ask, why medieval Gotland declined. Hitherto the explanations have been a shift in the transit trade in the late 13th C., the civil war between Visby and the countryside in 1288, the Pla- gue of 1350, the invasion by the Dan

Monitoring of condylomas is an early evidence of population effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programs. If reporting could include HPV typing, the contribution by vaccine HPV types to condyloma burden could be monitored.

We describe a fully computer-controlled differential optical absorption spectroscopy system for atmospheric air pollution monitoring. A receiving optical telescope can sequentially tune in to light beams from a number of distant high-pressure Xe lamp light sources to cover the area of a medium-sized city. A beam-finding servosystem and automatic gain control permit unattended long-time monitoring.

To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of adiposity and its links to cardiometabolic disease risk, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of body fat percentage (BF%) in up to 100,716 individuals. Twelve loci reached genome-wide significance (P

BACKGROUND: Caroli's disease is a rare congenital disorder characterised by cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts and an increased risk of cholangiocellular carcinoma. The cause is unknown, but occasional familial clustering suggests that some cases are inherited, in particular when occurring in association with polycystic kidney disease and germline PKD1 gene mutations. To date, no gen

This paper presents recursive formulas which admit simultaneous tests of stability and evaluation of quadratic loss functions for linear discrete-time dynamical systems. The method admits a significant reduction of the number of computations in comparison with previously known methods.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes after fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (f-EVAR) in a tertiary European referral center. METHODS: All patients treated with commercially available custom-made f-EVAR between September 2002 and June 2007 were prospectively enrolled in a computerized database including co-morbidities and aneurysm morphology. Patients were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up c
