Blix et al. found in a recent meta-analysis (MA) that intrapartum fetal surveillance with ECG ST analysis (STAN) results in a significant 36% decrease in metabolic acidosis at birth compared to cardiotocography (CTG) alone (1). This demonstrates that STAN monitoring could better than CTG alone protect against hypoxia proceeding to metabolic acidosis. However, by referring to the weak association b

We review the main results concerning high-order generation processes from the point of view of a potential user of this new source of XUV radiation. The perspectives for optimizing the source, both in efficiency and in spectral range, its characteristics and in particular, its coherence properties, are discussed. Finally, we describe two experiments, which demonstrate the usefulness of the harmon

Enligt 12 kap. 10 § regeringsformen ska förvaltningsorgan på samma sätt som domstolarna kunna pröva om lagar och andra föreskrifter överensstämmer med högre författning. Bestämmelsen ger upphov till frågor om förvaltningens konstitutionella roll och har kritiserats i den juridiska debatten. I statsvetenskapliga undersökningar har en spänning identifierats mellan förvaltningens roll som å ena sidan

New radiative lifetime measurements performed with time-resolved laser spectroscopy for the 6p(1/2) and 6p(3/2) levels of La III provide a unique opportunity for testing the adequacy of the relativistic Hartree-Fock approach for atomic structure calculations in this ion. As a consequence of the comparison, an extensive set of accurate f-values is provided for many La III and Lu III UV and visible

Review of Lundborg, Johan, När ateismen erövrade Sverige : Ingemar Hedenius och debatten kring tro och vetande. Nora; Nya Doxa, 2002

Fokusgruppsintervjun är en i pedagogiska sammanhang vanligt använd metod, och erbjuder genom sin öppna form många intressanta möjligheter. I denna artikel betraktas dessa möjligheter i ett postkvalitativt perspektiv, med särskild inspiration i Gilles Deleuzes och Félix Guattaris filosofi. Fokusgruppsintervjun ses här som en metodologiskt konstruerad händelse, vilken skapar mellanrum där begär kan

The PFS-16 is a 16-item fatigue scale for Parkinson's disease (PD) developed in the UK. However, documented translations and psychometric evaluations are sparse. Aim - To translate the PFS-16 into Swedish and conduct initial testing of its psychometric properties. Methods - Following translation, the PFS-16 was administered twice (2 weeks apart) to 30 people with PD (18 men; mean age/PD duration,

The aim of the study was to gain a theoretical understanding of parents' experiences and handling of the situation, when their foetus was diagnosed as having choroid plexus cysts, at a routine second trimester ultrasound examination. Nine couples and one mother were interviewed using one open question. Analysis method was Grounded Theory. The main concern was anxiety and the core category became n

The debate concerning repatriation and reburial has recently earned increasing attention in Sweden. While most archaeologists today understand the importance of repatriation and the arguments underlying the claims, the process is not completely unproblematic, and certainly not in all cases. This article explores some tendencies within the international debate about repatriation and frames them wit
