Construction work is physically demanding and often associated with bodily pain. This article presents a study of construction workers’ practices of using and relating to their bodies at work through an agential realist framework for analysing the (re)configuration of the workers’ embodied subjectivity. The analysis draws on interviews with 32 Danish construction workers as well as brief observati
Eight sets of electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for the localization of accessory conduction pathway (ACP) were evaluated on 182 patients with a single ACP. The Rosenbaum criteria identified 78.6% of the left-sided and 94.0% of the right-sided ACPs. Four of the other seven sets of criteria demonstrated a sensitivity higher than 70.9% and six showed a specificity higher than 74.9% in the 4-region
The problem of the orbital stabilization of the forced periodic motions of a non-linear all-wheel drive mechanical system is considered within the framework of a model that is widely used in problems of the planning of the motions and feedback design for industrial robotic manipulators. The basic result is the explicit indication of one of the possible redundant sets of coordinates tranverse to th
The author spent seven years teaching and tutoring basic media use to liberal arts students. During this time, the author noted that liberal arts students differ in their use of technology, both in basic technical comprehension and computer skills levels, as compared to technical and computer science students. Different pedagogical approaches for the liberal arts students for the period of 2003-20
Self-recognition is a trait presumed to be associated with high levels of cognition and something previously considered to be exclusive to humans and possibly apes. The most common test of self-recognition is the mark/mirror test of whether an animal can understand that it sees its own reflection in a mirror. The usual design is that an animal is marked with a colour spot somewhere on the body whe
Objective To establish which risk factors are predictive for sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) diagnosed in childhood. Methods A Swedish national cohort of patients with HCM diagnosed <19 years of age was collected between 1972 and 2014, consisting of 155 patients with available ECGs, with average follow-up of 10.9±(SD 9.0) years, out of whom 32 had suffered sudden death or cardiac
I artikeln analyseras historieskrivningen om den svenska konstnären Isaac Grünewald (1889–1946) med särskilt fokus på antisemitiskt grundade föreställningar om honom. Undersökningen utgår huvudsakligen från publicerade biografiska framställningarna som dels beskriver hans karaktär, dels positionerar honom inom den svenska modernistiska konsthistorien. I analyserna lyfts de i materialet återkommand
Currently available research suggests that negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) creates a moist wound healing environment, drains exudate, reduces tissue edema, contracts the wound edges, mechanically stimulates the wound bed, and influences blood perfusion at the wound edge, which may lead to angiogenesis and the formation of granulation tissue. Although no clear evidence is available that NPWT
Glass sheets investigated regarding their Po-210 signal originating from indoor radon exposure will have a depth distribution down to about 100 nm. The geometrical probability of implantation into glass of glass-attached radon daughter activity in one alpha recoil event is 50%. A particulate layer on the glass sheet (dust, grease or other particles) will stop the alpha recoil nucleus partly or tot
The aim of this book is to explore how contemporary notions of reconciliation as a process of building, rebuilding and transforming relationships may be applied not only to “race” but also to gender relations in post-apartheid and post-TRC South Africa. After highlighting links between the past, the present and the future with regard to such relations in wider South African society, critical quest
The Sámi people in Scandinavia have experienced a long history of discrimination, oppression, neglect, ridicule, and theft. Some scholars compare the history of the Sámi with that of the American Indian population. Today the Sámi who live in Sweden, Norway and Finland, together with the Sámi in Russia have managed to improve their situation through concerted efforts, collaboration with one another
