Close international collaboration between pediatric oncologists has led to marked improvements in the cure of patients, seen as a long-term overall survival rate of about 80%. Despite this progress, neuroblastoma remains a challenging disease for both clinicians and researchers. Major clinical problems include lack of acceptable cure rates in high-risk neuroblastoma and potential overtreatment of
The BIA method, based on assessment of patients in activities, was developed to enable reliable assessment of clients' occupational functioning. The method evaluates the patient's ego functions and capacity for activity and participation. The aims of this study were to examine inter-rater reliability for the BIA method and to compare the experiences of staff working with the BIA with those of staf
Approximately 1 in 10 couples is infertile No definite cause can be found in about 25% of those cases Studies have indicated that seminal vesicle secretion functions as an optimizer of fertilization The Zn2+ binding protein semenogelin I (SgI) represents a major fraction of the proteins present in seminal vesicle fluid and it serves as a structural component of the coagulum that is formed after ej
The risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases substantially with increasing maternal body mass index (BMI). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relative importance of maternal BMI and glucose levels in prediction of large-for-gestational-age (LGA) births.

The isomerization of 1,1'-diethyl-2,2'-cyanine iodide in n-alcohols is studied by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Using a broad range of probe wavelengths, the dynamics of ground-state bleach recovery, excited-state absorption and stimulation emission are monitored. We attributed the observed spectral evolution to the excited-state torsional motion, which occurs in a barrierless fashion in al
The dissertation deals with the construction of norms of academic excellence in the Swedish discipline of history 1900-1945. The area of focus is the competition for professorial chairs in history. The legacy of the discipline viewed history as a holistic concept, binding together most humanistic disciplines. From the perspective of this legacy, the view of empirical specialization was becoming in
A model-independent search for deviations from the Standard Model prediction is performed using the full e(+/-) p data sample collected by the H1 experiment at HERA. All event topologies involving isolated electrons, photons, muons, neutrinos and jets with transverse momenta above 20 GeV are investigated in a single analysis. Events are assigned to exclusive classes according to their final state.
This paper describes various examples of blatant attempts to suppress and censor parapsychology research and those who are doing it. The examples include raising false accusations, barring access to journals, suppressing papers and data, and ostracizing and persecuting scientists interested in the topic. The intensity of fear and vituperation caused by parapsychology research is disproportionate e
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common cause of vertigo and can be successfully treated with particle-repositioning procedures or habituation exercises. However, some patients do not tolerate this treatment. The aim of the study was to investigate the possibility of treating patients with BPPV, where treatment at first seemed too demanding for the patients, using a descriptive stu
I detta konferensbidrag ifrågasätter jag åsikten att litteraturteori inte bör läras ut på gymnasienivå. Enligt den franske litteraturteoretikern Tzvetan Todorov bör läraren på denna nivå endast lära ut litterära verk, inte teori. Teorin borde endast användas som ett osynligt verktyg. Min hypotes är att litteraturteorin kan användas framgångsrikt på gymnasiet. Viss insikt i teorin kan bidra till atIn this paper I challenge the opinion that literary theory should not be taught at upper secondary level. According to French literary theorist Tzvetan Todorov, the teacher at this level should aim at teaching literary works, not theory. Theory should only be used as an invisible instrument. My hypothesis is that literary theory can be used successfully at upper secondary level. A certain insight
The papers in this volume explore the cognitive neuroscience of second language acquisition from the perspectives of critical/sensitive periods, maturational effects, individual differences, neural regions involved, and processing characteristics. The research methodologies used include functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and event related potentials (
Telia and Ericsson have executed a joint project to evaluate the Ericsson WCDMA experimental system in Stockholm, Sweden. This system has been an important tool for gaining valuable handson WCDMA experience and to support the development of the commercial 3G WCDMA system. Some results from the ongoing tests are presented in this paper.
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige bestäms fastighetsgränsers sträckningar i första hand av gränsmärken på marken, därefter av förrättningskartor och mätuppgifter. Under senare år har efterfrågan på digital fastighetsinformation ökat kraftigt, inte minst beträffande lägesnoggranna gränsdata i den nationella registerkartan. Den utvecklade positioneringstekniken med GPS utgör idag en grundförutsäIn Sweden, the course of a property boundary is first and foremost determined by boundary marks on the ground, and only secondly by cadastral survey plans and measurements. In recent years, the demand for digital property information has increased substantially, not least in respect of accurate boundary data in the national cadastral map. Today, well-established techniques such as GPS positioning
