Tailored supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) extraction of alkyhesorcinols (ARs) from rye bran resulting in pre-purification of ARs already during extraction process. The pre-purification was achieved by splitting the extraction process in 2 steps.. In both steps, the CO2 pressure was set at 25 MPa with a flow rate of 10 g/min. The first step was carried out at 70 degrees C. 0.06% of ethanolic
Our aim in this study was to explore women's responses to reported ad-hoc demands for unauthorized user fees during pregnancy and childbirth in Luanda, Angola. Ten focus group discussions were conducted and data were analysed using grounded theory. Women were found to apply six strategies as they "endeavored to cope with demands for unauthorized user fees" (core category): (i) blowing the whistle,
This study reports the findings of how district nurses (n = 23) and hospital nurses (n = 9) in cancer care experienced social support in immediate connection with demanding care situations, as well as the effect of systematic clinical supervision. The study is based on their own accounts. The data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that there is a great ne
The FRR (Friendly Rest Room) project creates and evaluates prototypes of a more user friendly intelligent toilet for old persons and for persons with disabilities. Additionally, applicable knowledge regarding needs and wishes of old and/or disabled persons and their care persons are documented. In this paper the user driven research approach, ethical aspects and the iterative user centred design p
The International Network for Pediatric Hemophilia (INPH) comprises a group of physicians committed to the unique care of and challenges facing pediatric hemophilia patients. By collaborating on an international level, extensive experience can be shared on current practice, new trends can be discussed and scientifically valid studies can be developed and performed. The three overall objectives of
In the last couple of years, a conflict between football supporters and police have occurred.

Firstly, the employer has, According to lagen (1976:580) om medbestämmande i arbetslivet, an obligation to negotiate with employee unions when making significant changes in the organization. This predominantly applies to unions with collective agreements, but in some cases even unions without collective agreements may have a right to negotiate. The question of what constitutes a significant change
Objective: To determine the effect of a nature-assisted rehabilitation programme in a group of patients with reactions to severe stress and/or mild to moderate depression. Changes in sick-leave status and healthcare consumption in these patients were compared with those in a matched population-based reference cohort (treatment as usual). Design: Retrospective cohort study with a matched reference
This Letter presents a search for new resonances decaying to final states with a vector boson produced in association with a high transverse momentum photon, V gamma, with V = W(-> l nu) or Z(-> l(+)l(-)), where l = mu or mu. The measurements use 20.3fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector. No deviations from the Standard
Background Today, dislocated femoral neck fractures are commonly treated with a cemented hip arthroplasty. However, cementing of the femoral component may lead to adverse effects and even death. Uncemented stems may lower these risks and hydroxyapatite (HA) coating may enhance integration, but prosthetic stability and clinical outcome in patients with osteoporotic bone have not been fully explored
This thesis explores stigma in regards to access to education for children affected by HIV/AIDS in Vietnam and strategies to overcome stigmatization. This study is based on previous research which claims that HIV-related stigma causes isolation, bullying and social exclusion among affected groups. As a result, Goffman’s theory of stigma was used together with Bourdieu’s theory of capital and Fouca
In the state of Acre, Brazil, there is ongoing land use change, where inhabitants of this part of the Amazonian rainforest practice shifting agriculture. Practicing this type of agriculture is, according to the SKY Rainforest Rescue organization, damaging to forest ecosystems. This organization aims to educate people in how to maintain sustainable agriculture. By monitoring this shift in agricultu
Women are not sentenced in the same extent as men and are clearly underrepresented in criminal statistics. Criminal men have therefore come to function as the norm within the correctional system and female criminality is neglected within the field of research. The aim of this study was to examine how probation managers construct women’s crime and women offenders. The study was based on a qualitati
Background: Participatory research has been described to improve the relevance of research findings for the society in terms of quality of healthcare services and other public benefits. Nevertheless, there is limited guidance on how to conduct participatory research, and especially in relation to persons living in residential care facilities. To make the voices of this group heard, we therefore ta
Background: Activity and participation are critical to health and wellbeing. Limited evidence exists on how to support people with mental illness in participating in everyday activities. Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of Meaningful Activities and Recovery (MA&R), a co-led peer occupational therapy intervention focusing on activity engagement, functioning, quality of life, and personal r
