Background: Cancer affects not only the person with the disease but those around them. Being a family member is described as strenuous and, often, associated with stress, anxiety and feelings of loneliness. There is a heightened risk of distress for family of those with fast-progressing, severe oesophageal or gastric cancer. Early palliative care involving family is vital yet often overlooked. In

This chapter has a twofold aim. Our first aim is to argue for a shift from viewing engagement as a psychological state to understanding it as a communication phenomenon inherently embedded in relational and interactive processes. We argue that as a communication phenomenon, engagement is best captured in the broader meaning of the verb engage, that is, “to begin and carry out an […] activity”. Whe

We present a new technology for integrating tunnelling devices in three dimensions. These devices are fabricated by the combination of the growth of semiconductor heterostructures with the controlled introduction of metallic elements into an epitaxial layer by an overgrowth technique. First, we use a new type of tunnelling transistor, namely a resonant-tunnelling permeable base transistor. A simpl

There is strong evidence for the importance of genetic factors in idiopathic autism. The results from independent twin and family studies suggest that the disorder is caused by the action of several genes, possibly acting epistatically. We have used cDNA microarray technology for the identification of constitutional changes in the gene expression profile associated with idiopathic autism. Samples

Matriptase is a type II transmembrane protease which is characterized by an N-terminal transmembrane and multiple extracellular domains, in addition to the conserved extracellular serine protease catalytic domain. The expression pattern of matriptase suggests that this protease may play broad roles in the biology of surface lining epithelial cells. In this study we report that alpha1-antitrypsin (

Purpose: To describe, by use of a phenomenological approach, how relatively young trans-femoral amputees experienced their amputation and their coping strategies in the acute phase and over time. Method: Eleven trans-femoral amputees, median age 33.5 years, were interviewed. The amputation was caused by tumour, motorcycle accidents or work-related traumas. Amputation was made in median 7.5 years

Purpose: The main purpose is to investigate a multinational corporation subsidiary established in a developing country and their current as well as their future work concerning CSR. Method: To carry out our research, we performed a theoretical study as well as an empirical. Our empirical study consisted of a qualitative case study performed at the company stated above. We used semi-structured inte

There is a strong need for a productive and innovative infrastructure sector because of its monetary value and importance for the development of a sustainable society. An increased level of industrialization is often proposed as a way to improve efficiency and productivity in construction projects. In prior literature on industrialized construction, there are however neither many studies addressin

Laboratory analyses of the potsherds from Hellum, Barmer and Kragelund were performed in order to study the manufacturing techniques at the different sites. During the planning of the project it was suggested that the reconstructed pots to be fired in the kilns should not only have a shape resembling the original products, but also have a raw material composition as similar as possible to the medi

The aerobic biodegradation of toxic organic volatile contaminants is always limited by the low aqueous solubility of O2. Therefore, intensive bubbling or surface aeration is required to supply the bacterial community with sufficient O2 to carry out pollutant mineralization. This can cause the hazardous volatilization of toxic volatile contaminants. Photosynthetic oxygenation overcomes these limita

Popular Abstract in Swedish Datorgrafik handlar om att övertyga betraktaren. En huvuduppgift är att generera verklighetstrogna bilder utifrån tredimensionella modeller. Med hjälp av datorer simuleras hur dessa modeller interagerar med ljus. Betraktaren skall helst inte reflektera över om bilden han ser är ett fotografi eller en helt och hållet genererad bild. I denna avhandling presenteras algoritModern graphics hardware pipelines create photorealistic images with high geometric complexity in real time. The quality is constantly improving and advanced techniques from feature film visual effects, such as high dynamic range images and support for higher-order surface primitives, have recently been adopted. Visual effect techniques have large computational costs and significant memory bandwid

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen presenterar en experimentell studie av urlakning av betong orsakat av vatten som tränger igenom betongen, eller av diffusion av joner till vatten på uppströmssidan. Urlakningsförloppet och dess effekter modelleras med finita-element-metoden.The present report presents an experimental study of leaching of concrete caused by water percolating through the concrete, or by diffusion from concrete to external water in contact. An apparatus was designed and constructed in which de-ionised water could be forced, by external pressure, through a number of concrete specimens of differing characteristics. It was found that, whereas the initial w

This study evaluates the implementation of physical coordination training (PCT) and cognitive behavioural training (CBTr) interventions in a randomised controlled trial at nine cleaners' workplaces. Female cleaners (n - 294) were randomised into a PCT, a CBTr or a reference (REF) group. Both 12-week interventions were performed in groups guided by an instructor. Records were kept on intervention d

The fight between a human host and a bacterial pathogen is highly complicated; each party tries to outshine the other in the race for survival. In humans, the innate immune system-in particular the complement system-functions as the first line of defence against invading pathogens. During the course of evolution, however, pathogens, in order to survive and perpetuate within a host, developed multi
