The period of 1880-1910 was a time of fast modernization and industrialization in Transylvania. Fertility decline only started in the South, while in the North there was a marked fertility increase. This paper attempts to explain these differences, using a cross-sectional analysis of fertility for 4112 Transylvanian settlements. The factors affecting fertility are modeled using the Eastrelin-Crimm
The changes in extracellular Ca2+ (Cae) and K+ (Ke) activities were studied in the rat brain during insulin-induced hypoglycemia. At about the time of onset of isoelectric EEG in severe insulin-induced hypoglycemia (300-g male Wistar rats under 70% N2O anaesthesia), there was an increase in Ke which, at ∼13 mM, was associated with a fall in Cae. Ke peaked at 48 ± 12 mM, and Cae at 0.18 ± 0.28 mM.
A model of human eye for experiments in vision research has been developed using PLZT ceramics. This ``artificial eye{''} allows to simulate light scattering caused by cataract in the eye lens. Light scattering of a composite eye lens of the model depends on the electric field applied to a transparent electrooptic PLZT ceramics plate that is attached directly to the lens. The image degradation in
In this paper, a distinctly subjectivist analysis of the nature of relational goodness or goodness for is proposed. Like the generic subjectivist analysis of value, the proposal is to analyse value in terms of attitudes. Specifically, the proposed analysis of goodness for appeals to a special kind of attitude: namely, so-called for-someone’s-sake attitudes. Unlike other analyses in the literature
Enligt författarnas mångåriga erfarenhet från kustprojekt runt om i Sverige föreligger ett stort behov av en förbättrad terminologi på svenska vad gäller ingenjörsmässiga frågeställningar och planering av kustområden.Föreliggande artikel presenterar således en engelsk-svensk ordlista, inklusive förklarande kommentarer, med syfte att klargöra en lång rad ord och uttryck. Denna finns också att tillg
Efter HSVs utvärdering av CI- utbildningarna fick högskolorna ett tydligt uppdrag att vid uppföljningen redovisa hur hållbar utveckling kommer in i utbildningarna. I planeringsförutsättningarna för de 5-åriga civilingenjörsutbildningarna vid LTH finns kravet på examination av minst 6 hp inom området.
Based on articles published 1990-2004 in 21 LIS journals, a set of co-citation analyses were performed to study changes in research fronts over the last 15 years, where LIS is at now; and to discuss where it is heading. To study research fronts, here defined as current and influential co-cited papers, a citations among documents methodology was applied; and to study changes, the analyses were time
INTRODUCTION: General practitioners are often interested in doing research but are hampered by lack of time and research training. Interpreting the results of others can also be difficult. For this reason a course in basic research methods for GPs was started in Sweden in 1989. It was originally aimed at GPs but was later extended to hospital physicians as well. The course is given regionally and
Bakgrund Antalet hemlösa personer i Sverige har ökat och är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle. Hemlöshet är ett komplext fenomen där stigmatisering, missbruksproblematik och fysisk och psykisk ohälsa många gånger är inblandat. Att leva som hemlös kan påverka möjligheten till aktivitet och delaktighet i det dagliga livet. Syfte Syftet var att utifrån ett aktivitetsperspektiv belysa behovet av akt
Title: The future is looking bright - Studies of burnout among musicians and music teachers. Since late 1970's, the burn-out-syndrome has been researched in several ways, especially among people working in care-oriented employments. The object with this study is to find out the biggest issues about why musicians and music teachers burn themselves out. This is based on musicians and music teach
The existing housing stock in the UK will make a significant contribution to national carbon emissions for many decades to come. Existing houses present a significant challenge to systemic upgrades because they are influenced by a disparate set of regulations, incentives, and stakeholders. Unlike the new build industry, there is no single set of standards to regulate and steer the energy performan
