'SHUT UP ’N’ PLAY! Negotiating the Musical Work’ is a piece of artistic research that attempts to merge artistic practice, qualitative research methods and critical analysis in a project concerned with contemporary performance practices, and specifically how these practices are created and transmitted in the interaction between composer and performer. By way of a critical reading of the musico-phi
Researchers and society devote increasing interest to environmental impact assessments. The study here discusses and questions current assessment models by relating them to inter-organizational network analyses, and demonstrates that single entities as the basis for environmental impact assessments may not be in the best interests of society. Three case studies focusing on logistical solutions ill
Capsule Little Ringed Plovers breeding in South Sweden migrate towards the southeast in the autumn, via the Middle East, to winter in Saharan and sub-Saharan locations or in India, while the spring migration is more directly towards the north.Aims To study the migration routes and wintering area of Little Ringed Plovers (Charadrius dubius) breeding in South Sweden, and to investigate the migration
In the years 1943, 1944 and 1946, the Icelandic author Halldór Laxness published the three parts of his novel Íslandsklukkan (called Iceland’s Bell in Philip Roughton’s recent, excellent translation). This is a historical novel, taking place around the turn of the seventeenth century. The way Icelandic history is depicted in the novel, and the way this was discussed in the reviews in Icelandic pap
We present a study of the surface stoichiometry and contamination of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films following exposure to air and subsequent in vacuo preparation. Samples were studied using both soft X-ray synchrotron photoemission (hv = 150 to 350 eV) and traditional Mg-K alpha XPS (hv = 1253.6 eV) whilst annealing incrementally to approximate to 510 degrees C in low pressures of O-2. In all cases, a
A cross-sectional developmental study of 326 non-psychotic inpatients at a child and adolescent psychiatric clinic was carried out making use of the Defense Mechanism Technique modified (DMTm). The 139 girls and 187 boys were divided into three age groups: 12-13, 14-15 and 16-17 year olds. It was predicted on the basis of previous research that the younger boys would exhibit the defense of inclusi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Anhöriga – aspekter på börda, livstillfredsställelse och effekter av stöd. Med en ökande befolkning av äldre och en samtidig minskning av möjligheter till hjälpinsatser inom såväl kommunalt som landstingsstyrd vård och omsorg, kommer många av oss ta hand om äldre familjemedlemmar, släktingar och vänner. Hur kommer detta att påverka oss? Ungefär 20 % av den vuxna befolWith an aging population and a reduction in social services provided by the municipality, a huge majority of us will take care of elderly family members, relatives and friends in need of assistance. How will this affect our lives? Approximately 20% of the adult population in Sweden, mainly middle-aged persons, identify themselves as family caregivers. Many of these caregivers are working and, at
In a community-based geriatric rehabilitation project, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was used to develop a coordinated, interdisciplinary, and client-centred approach focusing on occupational performance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of the COPM as an admission and outcome measure in an interdisciplinary geriatric rehabilitation context in Denmark. E
To compare the long-term outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention with onew-generation' drug-eluting stents (n-DES) to oolder generation' DES (o-DES), and bare-metal stents (BMS) in a real-world population. We evaluated 94 384 consecutive stent implantations (BMS, n 64 631; o-DES, n 19 202; n-DES, n 10 551) in Sweden from November 2006 to October 2010. All cases of definite stent thrombosi
Earlier studies have found that framing has a substantial impact on the degree of cooperation observed in public good experiments. We show that the way the public good game is framed affects misperceptions about the incentives of the game. Moreover, we show that such framing-induced differences in misperceptions are linked to the framing effect on subjects’ cooperation behavior. When we do not con
A complete description is obtained for the subspaces of the Hardy space H-P (p >= 1) that are invariant under the Volterra integral operator. We then show that this result can be applied to derive complete characterizations of such subspaces in a large class of Banch spaces of analytic functions in the unit disc containing the usual Bergman and Dirichlet spaces.

The stem of Agave tequilana Weber is used to obtain fructans. Reports on the potential prebiotic activity of agave fructans as ingredients are scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the indigestible fraction (IF) content and the short chain fatty acid production (SCFA) from in vitro fermentation of: Native-agavefructans (NAF), agave-dietary-fiber (ADF), high-performance-fructans (HPF), both
Background: General practitioners (GPs) often fail to correctly adhere to guidelines for the treatment of hypertension. The reasons for this are unclear, but could be related to lack of knowledge in assessing individual patients' cardiovascular disease risk. Our aim was to investigate how GPs in southern Sweden adhere to clinical guidelines for the treatment of hypertension when major cardiovascul
Sound, mind and emotion Rapport nr 8 (seminarier 1 jan, 11 april resp 25 maj 2008) Innehåll: Patrik Juslin: Sound of music - Seven ways in which the brain can evoke emotions from sounds, Ulf Rosenhall: Auditory problems - not only an issue of impaired hearing, Sören Nielzén, Olle Olsson, Johan Källstrand & Sara Nehlstedt: The role of psychoacoustics for the research on neuro-psychiatric states
Despite its known expression in both the vascular endothelium and the lung epithelium, until recently the physiological role of the adhesion receptor Gpr116/ADGRF5 has remained elusive. We generated a new mouse model of constitutive Gpr116 inactivation, with a large genetic deletion encompassing exon 4 to exon 21 of the Gpr116 gene. This model allowed us to confirm recent results defining Gpr116 a
Fuel ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials is at a level where commercial biofuel production is becoming a reality. The solubilization of the hemicellulose fraction in lignocellulosic-based feedstocks results in a large variety of sugar mixtures including xylose. However, allowing xylose fermentation in yeast that normally is used for fuel ethanol production requires genetic engineerin
We study the electrostatic confinement properties of a ballistic GaInAs nanostructure, a system with a high potential for quantum applications due to its small effective mass and persistence of quantum effects to higher temperatures. By measuring the magnetic depopulation of one-dimensional subbands in an etched quantum point contact, we demonstrate that the slope of the confinement at the Fermi l
