Few Quality of Life (QoL) instruments in use today were originally developed for older populations (75+). Information on their validity and reliability in this age group is sparse. The current study investigated the psychometric properties of the Life Quality Gerontological Centre Scale (LGC), a general QoL instrument designed for use among older people. A further aim was to describe and compare Q
Fokusgrupper kan ibland framstå som ett lockande sätt att ”göra flera intervjuer samtidigt” och på ett tidsbesparande sätt snabbt få ihop ett stort empiriskt material. En fokusgrupp är dock minst av allt en samling enskilda intervjuer; i stället är den ett dynamiskt samtal mellan ett antal personer, styrt av en moderator. Att genomföra sina fokusgruppintervjuer online (virtuella fokusgrupper) med
Thermal manikins have been used to measure thermal properties of clothing. The use of thermal manikins has made a step forward in terms of quantifying thermal properties of clothing in a 3-D manner compared with the use of hotplates for material testing. The effects of clothing properties measured on the thermal manikins under steady state (constant manikin surface temperature and constant environ
Abstract in UndeterminedA controller scheme based on multiple rotating integrators (MRI) for an active filter is presented, analysed and evaluated. The inherent performance of integrators in the synchronous reference dq-frame for reduction of steady state errors are used in multiple rotating reference frames in order to compensate harmonics to obtain a steady state error equal to zero. Both measur
Analysis of the system of criminal procedure in Sweden in light of the proposal for the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor's Office.
The purpose of the present study was to compare the effect of cognitive reappraisal and acceptance on subjective distress, physiological reactions and behavioral avoidance in relation to aversive emotional states elicited by film-clips. Ninety-four participants were randomized to one of three groups. The Reappraisal group was instructed to think about what they saw in a way that minimized negative
Popular Abstract in Swedish Symtomgivande nervrots påverkan i halsryggen diagnostiseras via sjukhistoria, klinisk undersökning och magnetkamera undersökning av halsryggen (MRI). Hos flera av patienterna som genomgår denna utredning infinner sig svårigheter att identifiera den/de nervrötter som är ansvariga för patientens smärta. Detta beror på att den kliniska undersökningen och undersökningen medCervical radiculopathy is diagnosed by history, clinical examination of the patient and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine. In many of the patients undergoing this diagnostic strategy, the nerve root/roots responsible for the radicular pain is difficult to define as clinical examination and MRI investigation does not provide information enough. The information from transforamin

As the use of WLANs based on IEEE 802.11 increase, the need for QoS becomes more obvious. The upcoming IEEE 802.11e aims at providing QoS, but its contention-based medium access mechanism enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA), provides only service differentiation, i.e. soft QoS. In order to provide hard QoS, we have proposed an extension called EDCA with resource reservation (EDCA/RR), which
The last years blackouts have indicated that the operation and control of power systems may need to be improved. Even if a lot of data was available, the operators at different control centers did not take the proper actions in time to prevent the blackouts. This depends partly on the reorganization of the control centers after the deregulation and partly on the lack of reliable decision support s
