The purpose of this essay was to describe and analyse how patients at a swedish methadoneprogramme have changed their lives since they enrolled the programme, and which significance their social networks have in their lives and in the changingprocess. The following central issues are discussed in the essay: 1. How do the interviewpersons describe their lives before they enrolled the methadoneprogr

The purpose with this paper is to illuminate a strategy that successfully helps individuals to reconstruct their ability to work and take them out of a condition of burnout. I have chosen to describe the way out of illness, from the individuals stricken with illness’ point of view. The common treatment for the burnout syndrome is often focusing on the interaction in the place of work. The research

The purpose of this paper was, from a starting point of children’s own perspectives and a perspective of gender, to find out what love and relations to peers mean to children. The main questions were: What does friendship mean to children?, Are there any differences in the way boys and girls look at and handle love and relations?, In what way do children express their feelings about love and frien

Gene-environment interactions need to be studied to better understand the obesity. We aimed at determining whether genetic susceptibility to obesity associates with diet intake levels and whether diet intakes modify the genetic susceptibility. In 29,480 subjects of the population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS), we first assessed association between 16 genome-wide association studies iden

Fast correlation attacks, pioneered by Meier and Staffelbach in 1988, constitute an important class of attacks on stream ciphers. They exploit a correlation between the keystream and the output of a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) within the cipher. Several factors affect the feasibility of such an attack, e.g., the amount of available keystream and the number of taps in the LFSR. Notably, f

Context: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) affects people of all ages and is associated with poor prognosis. Chronic breathlessness affects almost all people with PAH. Objectives: This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study aimed to evaluate the effects of regular, low-dose, extended-release (ER) morphine for PAH-associated chronic breathlessness. Methods: Participants w

The Ålandic autonomy has evolved into a relatively well-functioning system over the last century. A scrutiny of the first three decades following the decisions by the Council of the League of Nations shows that this was not always the case. This article engages with the main political issues that Åland faced during this time, focusing on the problems that directly or indirectly involved the League

Drawing upon the author’s combined experiences of developing digital field workflows at the sites of Çatalhöyük in Turkey and Kämpinge in Sweden, this paper will discuss the role of skeuomorphism within the context of digital archaeological practice, and specifically, it will focus upon the ways that the use of digital technology affects the epistemological processes associated with fieldwork. In

The “cultural turn” in memory studies acknowledges that collective memory has a distinctive social aspect reflected in the manner in which it is communicated orally from one individual or generation to another. However, the point of departure is the emphasis on the need to account for the fact that memory is, in equal measure, shaped and mediated by tangible channels such as texts, images, objects

A competition process is a continuous time Markov chain that can be interpreted as a system of interacting birth-and-death processes, the components of which evolve subject to a competitive interaction. This paper is devoted to the study of the long-term behaviour of such a competition process, where a component of the process increases with a linear birth rate and decreases with a rate given by a

We identify, through a change of variables, solution operators for evolution equations with generators given by certain simple first-order differential operators acting on Fock spaces. This analysis applies, through unitary equivalence, to a broad class of supersymmetric quadratic multiplication-differentiation operators acting on L2.Rn/ which includes the elliptic and weakly elliptic quadratic op

This presentation highlights results from a research study of ‘Music Week’; a one-week Swedish music project. The aim of the ‘Music Week’ project was to enable young people with physical impairments to take part in musical activities. Digitally-based musical settings were used in order to provide tools for performing and creating music. The main purpose of the present research study was to explore

Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) nanocrystals (NCs), owing to their outstanding photophysical properties, have recently emerged as a promising material not only for solar cells but also for lighting and display applications. The photophysical properties of these materials can be further improved by chemical engineering such as cation exchange. Hot carrier (HC) cooling, as one of the key photophysic

The principal aim of my PhD research is to think through practices involved in the making of In the Desert of Modernity. Colonial Planning and After (Berlin 2008, Casablanca 2009), that constituted as well as traversed the exhibitions and went beyond. The project developed through a transnational constellation of culture producers, scholars, and activists from Berlin, Zurich, Paris, Delft and Casa

Protein G, a bacterial cell-wall protein with high affinity for the constant region of IgG (IgGFc) antibodies, contains homologous repeats responsible for the interaction with IgGFc. A synthetic peptide corresponding to an 11-amino acid-long sequence in the COOH-terminal region of the repeats was found to bind to IgGFc and block the interaction with protein G. Moreover, two other IgGFc-binding bac

The phase behavior of the ternary monoolein (MO)-diolein (DO)-water ((H2O)-H-2) system is presented. The experimental phase behavior and microstructure are studied by a combination of polarizing microscopy, small-angle X-ray diffraction, and NMR methods. Monoolein forms extensive reversed bicontinuous cubic liquid crystalline phases (C) that are in equilibrium with a lamellar liquid crystalline ph

The web of relationships between wellbeing and the environments in which people live has long been recognized. However, relatively little research has been conducted about end-of-life surroundings from the perspective of the dying person. In this study, we investigate which aspects of their surroundings are particularly meaningful for the people inhabiting them in the last phases of life, based on
