The objective of the study was to examine the changes in central nervous system (CNS) activity and physical behaviour during induction and awakening from CO2 anaesthesia. Two studies, each using pigs immersed into 90% CO2 gas for a period of 60s were performed. In study 1, we monitored middle latency auditory evoked potentials (changes in latencies, amplitudes and a depth of anaesthesia index), el

This research focuses on the food, farming and health experiences of two secondary cities of Uganda (Mbale and Mbarara), comparing findings with studies of primary African cities. We draw from survey data, focus groups with healthcare professionals, and in-depth interviews with varied residents. A feminist geographic perspective explored intersections of food, farming and health with varied aspect

This study focuses on the severity gradation of non-collision events. Earlier theoretical work has suggested that a proper severity measure for an event should reflect the risk of personal injury, which is often split into two components, including the risk of a collision and the potential consequences had the collision taken place. While a great number of severity measures have been suggested, mo

Purpose: This qualitative study aimed to investigate experiences and perceptions of hospital physicians regarding the discharging process, focusing on information transfer regarding medications.Methods: By purposive sampling three focus groups were formed. To facilitate discussions and maintain consistency, a semi-structured interview guide was used. Discussions were audio recorded and transcribed

In the Western world of today, the swastika is practically exclusively associated with Nazism, but in reality it is an ancient religious symbol, used in a number of different cults, symbolizing different deities. The oldest finds so far have been made in Ukraine and are between twelve and fifteen thousand years old. About seven thousand years ago the symbol existed in present-day Iran and five tho

This study investigates the public reading of New Testament writings in early Christian communities during the first two centuries C.E. from the perspective of the lectors who prepared and performed the readings. A survey of literary and pictorial sources from the Greek and Roman world indicates that only oratory and drama were delivered from memory, whereas most literary writings were read aloud

In the discipline of archaeology death has always been a common subject. Graves and dead bodies in different states of decay are important sources of information. This dissertation investigates how our relation to death can be mirrored through some of the better-known individuals from prehistory in Scandinavia. Because of the character of the question at issue I start with three chapters in which

In order to stimulate benchmarking and comparisons between different municipal activities, the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) and the Ministry of Finance in the year of 2007 initiated a voluntary nationwide Swedish benchmarking project (NBP) in order to develop new measures that capture the relationship between cost and quality. The ambition is that the new measures s

Den här kandidatuppsatsen är en kvalitativ studie som undersöker fotboll som arena för integration. Den utgår från teorier om socialt kapital, norm och språk för att kunna analysera och skapa förståelse kring empirin som är hämtad genom fyra intervjuer. Resultatet visar att fotboll har en styrka i att den innehåller ett språk som talas av alla världen över. Men för att fotboll även ska fungera soThis essay is a qualitative study examining football as an arena for integration and the method I’ve used is semi-structured interviews to collect my empirical information. The participants in this study are four different leaders from four different sports associations, which all are different in size and are from different places in Sweden. What they have in common is that they all have experien

In induction heating processes with complex workpiece geometries or stringent requirements, more than one induction coil is usually needed to obtain acceptable results. One objective could be to achieve uniform heating, with minimal temperature variations throughout the workpiece. One frequency converter for each induction coil could be used, but it would not be cost-effective, and instead, it is

The aim of this study was to analyze how former members of Jehovah’s Witnesses describe the social community in the religious movement and how participating in Jehovah’s Witnesses has affected the adult lives during the exiting process. This study also includes analysis about how social workers can help those individuals. The method of this study was a qualitative interview analysis of 8 former Je

Företagets avdelning för distributionsutrustning håller på att utveckla en lösning för att packa förpackningar i ett rektangulärt mönster i öppna tråg. Lösningen använder sig av en delta-robot med ett vakuumdrivet plockverktyg för att plocka och placera förpackningarna. För att öka robustheten i lösningen vill man ta fram och testa koncept för att automatiskt, och utan operatörsinteraktion, hanterA distribution equipment solution using a delta robot for picking and placing packages in a rectangular pattern into cardboard trays (blanks) is currently under development. In order to increase the robustness of this solution, concepts for handling a variety of performance problems in the grouping or pattern creation area without operator interaction, e.g. toppled packages or missing packages, ne

This paper discusses the relationship between the Mouridiyya order and the Jamatou Ibadou Rahmane Association- two significant and quite different Muslim organizations in Senegal. This case is illuminated in order to help explain why supposedly opposed groups entertain peaceful relationships. The data analyzed derives from nine interviews conducted between January 2014 and March 2014, in Dakar, Se

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: För drygt 500 miljoner år sedan var Sverige beläget söder om ekvatorn och utgjorde tillsammans med resten av Skandinavien och östra Europa en kontinent kallad Baltica. Vid denna tid, under den period som kallas kambrium, var klimatet ganska kallt. I början av kambrium började havet stiga upp över Baltica så att dagens Skåne, samt övriga delar av Sverige, täcktesA core drilling at Almbacken in Södra Sandby, Scania, southern Sweden, penetrated a c. 30 m thick succession of Middle Cambrian-upper Lower Cambrian strata. The Middle Cambrian of this core is the most complete one so far documented in Scania. The core contains a stratigraphical sequence from the Lejopyge laevigata Zone (upper Paradoxides forchhammeri Stage) to the Holmia kjerulfi-group Zone (uppe

The purpose of this study was to investigate how volunteers at young women´s and transgender empowerment centers in Sweden reason about their role and their discretion in order to better understand and problematize the responsibility of conducting social work without necessarily holding an education as a social worker. The study focuses on their supportive role in online chats with young callers w

In this work simulations of the LIBAF Pelletron were performed to gain insight into the parameters that govern the machine operation and control. Three simulation packages: COMSOL, WARP and TURTLE/TRANSPORT were employed, and cross-validation of these software packages was performed by test-case simulations. The major components of the Pelletron were simulated on a individual basis to ensure their

Vad är det minsta ni någonsin har mätt? Vad är den snabbaste händelsen ni någonsin observerat? Kanske har ni haft turen att studera naturen omkring er med hjälp av ett mikroskop, kanske har ni sett en "slow motion" film av explosioner som sker på endast en bråkdel av en sekund. Finns det någon begränsning på hur små objekt vi kan mäta, på hur snabba händelseförlopp vi kan observera? På In the search for a better understanding of the fundamental nature of the atom, the development of femtosecond pulsed laser sources has opened up for many applications, in particular in time-resolved physics. For many of those, like the generation of attosecond pulses through high-order harmonic generation, high intensity is needed and the quality of the beam is a critical factor. Most commonly,

I takt med den ständigt pågående tekniska utvecklingen ökar även efterfrågan av digitalisering av allt fler funktioner i samhället. Många processer, transaktioner och handlingar som tidigare skedde på plats och genom möten sker idag digitalt. Bankärenden är ett av många exempel på detta, vilket tydliggjordes i Internet Stiftelsens årliga undersökning 2019, Svenskarna och Internet, då 91% av svenskWith the constantly ongoing technological development, the demand for digitalisation of functions in society is also constantly increasing. Many processes and transactions that previously took place on site and through meetings now take place digitally. Typical banking needs are one of many examples of this, which was evident in the Internet Foundation's annual survey 2019, Swedes and the Inte

Climate and Trade Policies in a Post-2012 World is a collection of short forward-thinking articles by leading experts on the relationship between trade and climate change policies. The idea for developing this publication was conceived at the “International Workshop on Post-2012 Climate and Trade Policies”, jointly organized in September 2008 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and

Political candidates often believe they must focus their campaign efforts on a small number of swing voters open for ideological change. Based on the wisdom of opinion polls, this might seem like a good idea. But do most voters really hold their political attitudes so firmly that they are unreceptive to persuasion? We tested this premise during the most recent general election in Sweden, in which
