Conventionally, the spacing between adjacent elements in an antenna array are set at half-a-wavelength in order to obtain maximum spatial resolution while avoiding spurious sidelobes. However, for antenna arrays that are implemented in a compact manner, the spacing between the adjacent elements can be significantly less than half-a- wavelength. The small spacing between the antennas results in str
Recent theoretical and simulation studies reveal that closely coupled antennas with appropriately chosen impedance matching loads can yield desired characteristics of small antenna correlation coefficients and/or high received power levels. However, no experiment has been performed to verify these claims. Here, we describe an experimental setup used to investigate the correlation and received powe
Dansk udtale kan give selv den mest ihærdige svensker grå hår i hovedet. Tre relativt simple konstruktioner som ordet er dit, der er røg i køkkenet, og de skal nå toget til Odense er givetvis lette at forstå i en sms eller mail, fordi de fleste af ordene er genkendelige, måske bortset fra nå (hinna).

It is generally known that gerunds can have a null subject (NS) that takes the preceding clause as its antecedent. Given certain restrictions independently argued for in the literature, the NS in question cannot be pro, neither can it be maintained that such gerunds have the status of relative clauses. Therefore, the subject in question must be analysed as PRO, which entails that the theoretical s

Raw milk may be a risk for public health if it is contaminated with zoonotic pathogens. To study the prevalencein unpasteurized milk from Swedish farms, bovine and small ruminant dairy farms were sampled. Since thesampling method and transport conditions may influence the outcome of analyses, efforts were made to optimizethe methodology. Culturing of bacteria was done from in-line milk filters col
AbstractThe value of infoming children about impending medical procedures was investigated, particularly in ægard to possible effects on anxiety, fear, noncooperation and distress in specific clinical situations: urological investigation, heart catheterization, lumbar puncture, acute appendectomy.

During the last few years, a more liberal use of premedication in children scheduled for Ürinary tract examinations was noted. In this retrospective study, the influence of the institution of psychological means for preparation as supplement or alternative to premedication on the incidence of cases receiving premedication was investigated. During the period from 1978 to 1982, this was followed in
A psychological preparation program was developed for use prior to emergency surgery in children. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that provision of specific information prior to an emergency operation would reduce the need for premedication to control anxiety and stress. Children were randomly assigned to either a verbally prepared group given narcotic-sedative premedication (
AbstractThe cerebellum is an important part of the brain and in very preterm infants the cerebellum is smaller at term equivalent age compared to that of infants born at term.Hypothesis and aims: The general hypothesis is that preterm birth per se causes cerebellar underdevelopment and that certain events following preterm birth, either complications or treatments, can aggravate the underdevelopme
Draba incana L. (Brassicaceae) is an arctic-alpine species which is both common and widely distributed in Iceland. Voucher specimens of D. incana in the ICEL and AMNH herbaria were examined and no major changes in the taxonomic identification or the species distribution map were made. Living plants were collected in this study: nine from Eyjafjördur and Lake Mývatn, northern Iceland, and one from
The genus Draba L. is a conspicuous element of the arctic flora, comprising about 350 species worldwide which mostly are arctic-alpine polyploids. Previously, it has mainly been Draba incana L., D. norvegica Gunn., D. nivalis Liljebl., D. alpina L., D. fladnizensis Wulf., D. daurica DC., D. lactea and D. cinerea Adams that have been considered as belonging to the Icelandic flora. In this paper we
In Swedish historical archaeology, studies of towns have diverged from definition to deconstruction. In landscape studies the existence of occasional similar expressions of power in rural contexts as in towns is stressed. Another observation is that towns can display vague forms of urbanity, with lack of dense settlement and varied economy, as well as showing agrarian affiliations. A focus on sing
The aim of this article is to explore how ‘children's rights’ and ‘gender equality’ are articulated in parenting support policies in Sweden, and how these policies are enacted in practice with respect to the two perspectives mentioned. The analysis builds on key policy documents and interviews with civil servants working on parenting support on local, regional and national levels. The results show
Recent studies find that higher degrees of democracy are related to higher levels of bureaucratic quality. However, they only offer limited explanations for this pattern based on a unidimensional understanding of democracy. We argue that future uncertainties as perceived by the incumbent, the opposition, and voters are important for why bureaucratic reform takes place. Therefore, we expect no unif
