Discusses how a series of artefacts became important for cultural processes in a Swedish IT company during a turbulent period in business - a period that was known as "the new economy".

The number of scholarly blogs on the Web is increasing. In this article, a group of researchers are asked to describe the functions that their blogs serve for them as researchers. The results show that their blogging is motivated by the possibility to share knowledge, that the blog aids creativity, and that it provides a feeling of being connected in their work as researchers. In particular, the b

Objectives - To calculate cost per additional quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) for lacosamide as adjunctive treatment for patients with uncontrolled partia

A digital filter for intermediate frequency filtering in mobile communication systems is presented. The purpose of the work is to show an alternative to the analog filters which are used in most of today's heterodyne receivers. Bit-serial arithmetic is applied on a twelfth-order wave digital lattice filter algorithm. The paper also shows a method for retiming such algorithms. The power consumption

Under en sexmånaders period beslutade Försäkringskassan i fem län att avslå eller dra in sjukpenningen helt eller delvis i 538 ärenden. De försäkrade bedömdes inte vara arbetsoförmögna till följd av sjukdom. I den här undersökningen visas att risken för negativt beslut varierar kraftigt för olika diagnoser och att det är vissa typer av sjukdom och ohälsa som fastnar i den skärpta gränskontrollen.

Calcareous soils are frequently typified by a low availability of plant nutrients due to poor solubility of these elements at high pH. Calcicole plants have recently been shown to release organic acids in response to the nutrient deficient conditions prevailing in these soils. It has been speculated, however, that the efficiency of this nutrient mobilization mechanism may be significantly reduced

The aims of this study were to determine whether a registered nurse can collect information and plan a holistic and individual strategy for the treatment of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and whether this approach can reduce these patients' health aspects. The referrals of 50 Swedish-speaking female patients aged between 18 and 65 years with the preliminary diagnosis of IBS were coll

Popular Abstract in Swedish En burk målarfärg som har lämnats bortglömd, en senapsflaska som länge har stått upprätt i ett kylskåp eller ett nyinköpt filmjölkspaket som precis ska öppnas. Det finns många vardagliga situationer där vi stöter på separation av fasta partiklar från vätskan i så kallade suspensioner. Separationsprocessen kallas sedimentering och är den tillämpning som genomgående motivA consistent theme throughout this thesis is quasilinear partial differential equations (PDEs) appearing in one-dimensional models of sedimentation for solid-liquid separation of suspensions. We mainly focus on continuous sedimentation in so-called clarifier-thickeners (CTs), which are found in mineral processing and wastewater treatment. In addition to complications with shocks and non-unique sol

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To calculate incremental cost-utility ratios (cost per QALY gained) for varenicline (Champix; Pfizer), as compared to bupropion, in smoking-cessation programmes for a lifetime follow-up period. DESIGN: The Benefits of Smoking Cessation on Outcomes (BENESCO) simulation model was used for a male and female cohort, respectively, as a point of departure but further extended in order

The aim of this study was to make an inventory of various aspects of end-of-life care of the old people. An additional aim was to illuminate gaps in existing knowledge. A systematic literature review focusing on intervention studies was carried out. Three concepts were of special interest: end-of-life care, palliative care, and terminal care. The result encompassed 29 studies, and the articles wer
