An aim of the present paper is to examine changes in the magnitude and direction of time-order effects with changes in the physical magnitude of the stimuli, overall levels of performance, and with changes in load processing capacity. Increments and decrements in performance are gauged by means of the steepness of psychometric and chronometric functions. Load processing capacity is assessed by div

Reviews the film, Volver, directed by Pedro Almodóvar (2006). At the beginning of this extraordinary film, women in a small Spanish town tend to the graves of their departed; at the end, what some would consider a female "ghost" nurses a relative with cancer, as a haunting shot of a wooden door with cracks of light slowly turns dark, reminding us that in the blackness that will engulf us at the en

The paper will discuss the design of a new organization of library services at Lund University, Sweden with special emphasis on the motives and drivers behind the reorganization. The university management has decided the reorganization after an evaluation report with recommendations. The new structure of the library services is designed as a network of libraries with a coordination and management

Rapporten sexmänsäljer.se/x utgår från intervjuer med män som säljer sex till andra män via internet. Den belyser ett fenomen som tidigare inte lyfts fram i svensk forskning och tillför ny kunskap. Rapporten fokuserar dels på att ge några av dessa män en röst och möjlighet att formulera hur de ser på sin verksamhet, dels på att försöka utveckla en teoretisk ram och begrepp för att bättre förstå et

Inhibitors that are generated during thermochemical pretreatment and hydrolysis impair the performance of microorganisms during fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysates. In omitting costly detoxification steps, the fermentation process relies extensively on the performance of the fermenting microorganism. One attractive option of improving its performance and tolerance to microbial inhibitors

Academic developers (ADs) often participate in the implementation of programs or reforms within higher education. Sometimes they agree with these and sometimes they disagree. This paper discusses possible agentic positions during an authentic policy implementation, i.e. the National Qualification Framework within a Norwegian university. Through reflexive interpretation, and by applying concepts f

The purpose was to illuminate parents' experiences when their children are undergoing an elective colonoscopy performed using polyethylene glycol-based regimes for bowel preparation.

PURPOSE: To explore oxidative stress and the radical scavenger α(1)-microglobulin (A1M) in the vitreous body of human eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: Levels of carbonyl groups, a marker of oxidative stress, and A1M were measured by ELISA and RIA in 14 vitreous samples derived from patients suffering from RRD, and compared with 14 samples from macula hole (MH
