The aim of this qualitative study was to explore older persons' (n = 28, 75-96 years of age) experience of becoming in need of public home help, their experience of participation and of having influence on the needs assessment procedure and the decisions made about public home help. A content analysis revealed a broad overarching category, labelled: experiencing discontinuity in life as a whole -

Aerosol particles affect Earth’s climate system by scattering and absorbing light. The perturbation of the climate system caused by a change in aerosol configuration due to anthropogenic emissions has recently improved. However, the radiation balance and hydrological cycle of Earth are also highly influenced by clouds: a small change in cloud configuration can have a large effect on the climate. C

The Lorentzian lifetime widths of the 4d and 4f levels in the sixth-period elements W74 to Bi83 have been measured using photoelectron spectroscopy. A compilation of 4f-level widths from the literature is also made. The general trend of the 4f-level widths is well reproduced by McGuires calculations, although the absolute widths seem to be underestimated. The 4d5/2-level width shows a remarkable c

A (polysaccharide-rich) waste stream derived from a combined starch and ethanol factory was investigated regarding hydrolysis of the nonstarch carbohydrates for ethanol production. The material was characterized and processed to yield the maximum amount of sugars. The starch fraction was hydrolyzed with amylolytic enzymes, and the resulting fibrous material was separated by filtration. This materi

Catheter-related deep venous thrombosis is a complication that can occur in patients receiving chemotherapy. Three such cases are described and a review of the literature is made, focusing on recent results regarding possible thrombogenic mechanisms and the high prevalence of non-symptomatic thrombosis as well as the high morbidity and mortality associated with upper extremity deep venous thrombos

The aim of this study was to examine social workers perceptions of medication assisted treatment. We have made a qualitative interview study in which we interviewed seven municipal social workers that have knowledge and experience of working with people who have substance abuse problems and medication assisted treatment. We found that the social workers are describing both advantages and disadvant

The RADASS (Remote Access Dual Automatic Switch Spray) system is thought to be the future solution for frozen rail switches. Frozen switches are a yearly reoccurring issue and cause long delays in rail traffic, which require a vast amount of personnel and resources to fix. Spraying chemicals manually by railway workers is the most common method to deal with the issue; the system intends to automat

Over the past few years, many companies have started to adopt Big Data technologies. Big Data is a method and technology that allows the collection and analysis of huge amounts of all kinds of data, mainly in digital form. Big Data can be used, for example, to create profiles of online shopping users to target ads. I call this Big Data Profiling. Facebook and Google, for example, are able to estim

The emulsification process is primarily determined by the rate of fragmentation and coalescence of emulsion drops. However, there is presently no fast, reliable method for measuring these rates for pilot and production scale high pressure homogenizers. In this paper a method for simultaneous estimating fragmentation and coalescence is developed and tested based on the work of Hounslow and Ni (2004

This paper takes as its starting‑point three particular moments in The Winter’s Tale (Exit pursued by a bear (3.1), Time (4.1) and the Statue scene (5.3) – moments that have become famous, or infamous, even mythical, by being so difficult to stage1. Having worked intensively with The Winter’s Tale throughout the academic year 2012/13 (among other things directing it with two consecutive groups of

Labeled analogs to an antiproliferative naphthoxyloside have been synthesized and evaluated. Our investigations have shown that the fluorescently labeled analogs are poor structural analogs, and the physical and biological properties are altered to a large extent. Instead, a radioactively labeled compound was synthesized, which made it possible to follow the pathway in the cell. The results showed

The concept of creativity will be discussed, outgoing foremost from the process oriented theoretical framework named the perceptgenetic (PG) model, first developed in the 50ies, and from that time empirically validated and applied in Lund University and elsewhere. Within the PG model numerous research questions have been operationalized and tested over the years, often with an underlying psychodyn

This thesis examines a project that has been conducted at a software development company. The aim is to investigate which problems firms of this kind faces performing projects. We choose a theoretical frame consisting of a modern view on how to manage projects. The view argues that the management of each project has to be adapted to the situation at hand. This theory is divided into two separate s

This paper proposes a method for multi-loop PI controller design which can achieve dominant pole placement for two input two output processes. It is an extension of the original dominant pole design (PID Controllers: Theory, Design, and Tuning, Instrument Society of America, Research Triangle park, NC, 1995.) for SISO systems. Unlike its SISO counterpart, where the controller parameters can be obt

A methodology for developing software intensive systems denoted Cleanroom Software Engineering is presented. The methodology has been developed at IBM and Software Engineering Technology (SET) in the USA, and is currently being adapted and applied to the field of telecommunications by Q-Labs.The main objective of Cleanroom is to introduce a set of management and engineering techniques which shall

Recycling of brake pads is a tough but promising work considering the current end of lifecycle. This study assesses the environmental performance of brake pads made up of recycled friction materials in terms of energy use, CO2 footprint and airborne particle number. Energy use and CO2 footprint are calculated with the data from CES Edupack and airborne emission particle number is measured on a pin
