In the article, the author discusses possible trends in Medieval archaeology which may emerge in the next decade in Sweden. They include a demand for better publications regarding artefacts, research on relations of power at low levels in society, studies on ethnicily and local identity, everyday life within the frame of the large structures in society and a wider participation in historical educa
I Sverige har kommunen ansvar för äldreomsorgen. Den omsorg som utförs av anhöriga är dock en betydande och, till följd av nedskärningar, växande del av äldreomsorgen i Sverige.Denna artikel undersöker på vilket sätt en (re-)privatisering av ansvaret för att tillgodose äldre människors behov har skett, genom att studera och analysera den diskurs som omgärdar frågan om anhörigomsorg för äldre. En ö
Follow-up of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) with life-long computed tomography angiography (CTA) surveillance exposes patients with impaired renal function to repeated risks of contrast medium-induced nephropathy (CIN).
AIM: To describe the self-reported fluid intake and its effects on body weight, signs and symptoms of heart failure, quality of life, physical capacity and thirst, in patients with stabilised chronic heart failure. BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic heart failure are often recommended a fluid restriction of 1.5 l/day but there is no evidence in the literature for this recommendation and little is k
There are many spectrum balancing algorithms to combat the deleterious impact of crosstalk interference in digital subscriber lines (DSL) networks. These algorithms aim to find a unique operating point by optimizing the power spectral densities (PSDs) of the modems. Typically, the figure of merit of this optimization is the bit rate, power consumption or margin. This work poses and solves a differ
Myxoid sarcoma (MLS) is one of the most common types of malignant soft tissue tumors. MLS is characterized by the FUS-DDIT3 or EWSR1-DDIT3 fusion oncogenes that encode abnormal transcription factors. The receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) encoding RET was previously identified as a putative downstream target gene to FUS-DDIT3 and here we show that cultured MLS cells expressed phosphorylated RET togeth
Automatic control systems rely on models to predict the near future and identification algorithms to adapt the models to changing process behaviour. The traditionally highly complex models of the activated sludge process developed for scientific purposes cannot be identified from on-line measurements and are not suited for process control purposes in their present form. Model decoupling based on t
Indicator species are often used to detect forest with a long temporal continuity. However, only species restricted to such forests because of their poor dispersal capacity should be used as continuity indicators. The dispersal capacity of one species suggested as a continuity indicator, the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria has been studied recently in southern Sweden. The results of that study suggest t
n this study, Jordanian feldspar from Wadi Al-Jayshiah area was invested to evaluate its applicability as raw material for ceramic and industries. The chemical analysis indicated that the average Fe2O3 content is 2.33%, which is very high, compared to commercial ceramic and glass grades feldspar. The SiO2 content in the Wadi Al-Jayshiah feldspar (67.96%) lies within the required amount in commerci
A reduction in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) has been reported in the Western world, but post-infarction depression often occurs and is related to poor medical outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine the scientific literature by a systematic review, in order to find evidence for whether physical activity can be a tool to reduce depression in patients who have suffered a car
Stem cell-based approaches have promising prospects as new treatments to repair the stroke-damaged brain and promote efficient functional recovery. Studies in animal models of stroke have shown that transplantation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) isolated from different sources can improve function not only by replacing dead neurons but also by trophic actions, modulation of inflammation,
