Food-hoarding birds use memory to relocate caches, and species that store thousands of scattered food items must have an extraordinary memory capacity to be able to relocate them. Because the hippocampus is important in the functioning of spatial memory, it is logical to assume that the amount of food stored should correlate with hippocampal volume. Previously, food-hoarding capacity has been used

We have investigated the possibility of using the 2.45 GHz ISM band for communication between binaural hearing aids. The small size of a modern hearing aid makes it necessary to miniaturize the antennas to make this feasible. Two different types of hearing aid placements have been investigated: in the outer ear and in the ear canal. Both put strict demands on the size of the antenna, which have be

Many of Sokurov’s films, features as well as documentaries, are characterised by scant or subdued dialogue and/or voice-over narration. This aesthetic style of the predominance of visual over verbal expression is understood as a direct expression of Sokurov’s concern with mortality and death. The argument proceeds from a semiotic distinction between language as basically discrete and moving pictur

One out of ten cases of acute pancreatitis develops into severe acute pancreatitis which is a life threatening disorder with a high mortality rate. The other nine cases are self limiting and need very little therapy. The specificity of good clinical judgement on admission, concerning the prognosis of the attack, is high (high specificity) but misses a lot of severe cases (low sensitivity). The pre

Popular Abstract in Swedish Psykoterapi betraktas idag som en etablerad behandlingsform för människor med psykiska problem. Under senare hälften av 1900-talet växte intresset för alternativa behandlingsformer inom vårdsektorn, och en ansenlig mängd psykoterapeutiska metoder utvecklades. Under denna period tog även psykoterapiforskningen fart, med syfte att undersöka vilken betydelse olika behandliThe overall aim of the thesis was to investigate the effects of psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy and gain an increased understanding of the curative factors in psychotherapy by thorough examination of the therapeutic alliance and of client change. The core of the thesis is a naturalistic study of 22 short-term dynamic psychotherapies and a follow-up 6-12 months later. Individual outcome me

The long poem Skördarne (The HArvest) by johan Gabriel Oxenstierna (1750-1818) was an attempt to do for the Swedish what Virgil had don for the Roman Countryside in his Georgics. However, "georgic poetry" was seldom recognised as a distinct genre by the classical system of poetics, and its relation to neighbouring genres were often unclear. The present study seeks to place Oxenstierna's poem in th
