Background:: Those who are seriously ill and facing death are often living with physical, emotional, social, and spiritual suffering. Teamwork is considered to be necessary to holistically meet the diverse needs of patients in palliative care. Reviews of studies regarding palliative care team outcomes have concluded that teams provide benefits, especially regarding pain and symptom management. Muc

In this paper, I describe systems and prototypes we created in the natural language processing group at Lund to extract structured knowledge from text. Starting from syntactic and semantic parsingcomponents,wedevelopedapplicationsthatcanhandlelargecorpora,typicallycomplete Wikipedia versions consisting of millions of documents and process text to identify entities and the relations between them. I

To survive on a global market, small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) require affordable and competitive industrial automation for high quality flexible manufacturing. This thesis contributes to the development of robot concepts that fit the needs of SMEs. A major part of the thesis deals with the modeling of the three degree-of-freedom (DOF) Gantry-Tau parallel kinematic robot, which has the po

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur personal inom socialtjänsten tolkar, definierar och upplever ett behandlingsprojekt, som involverade olika myndigheter, benämnt Motverka Våld och Gäng. Dessutom uppmärksammas hur den intervjuade och observerade personalen uppfattar och kategoriserar de inom projektet anställda samordnarna. De anställda inom socialtjänsten upplever att projektet kommit The aim of this study is to analyze how the Social Services personnel interpret, define and perceive, on the one hand, the project “Motverka Våld och Gäng” meaning “Counteract Violence and Gangs”, and on the other hand the role of the Coordinators employed in this project. Heads of units and Social Secretarys were interviewed, as well as observed and recorded at meetings. The personnel of the Soc

The aim of this sociology of law-orientated article is to analyse and describe legislative and regulatory processes concerning the task given to schools focusing on environment and sustainable development. We are describing the policy-making processes in this field from 1990 to 2011. The study involves key interviews and content analysis of national policy documents as well as legal sources, in or

In his recent work, Eco abandons his conventionalist theory of pictures, which was heavily censored by, among others, the present author. In so doing, however, Eco now goes to the other extreme, claiming that television images are like mirrors, which are no signs. It is my contention that Eco fails to come up with a more acceptable theory of iconicity. Since Eco is one of the few semioticians conc

The chapter gives an overall picture of the conditions of labour market entry for young people (16-19 years) and young adults (20-24 years) and their social exclusion in Sweden from the early 1990s until now. The chapter consists of three sections. The first section provides background information on the entry of young people on the Swedish labour market. The overview summarizes research findings

The aim of this study was to investigate use and need for assistive devices (AD) in a cross-national European sample. Data from the ENABLE-AGE research project were utilised involving very old persons in Sweden, Germany, Latvia, Hungary and the United Kingdom. Of the total sample 65% reported that they had and used one or more AD, and 14% reported unfilled need for AD. The most commonly used AD we

The generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) represents an exciting advancement with promise for stem cell transplantation therapies as well as for neurological disease modeling. Based on the emerging roles for astrocytes in neurological disorders, we investigated whether hiPSC-derived astrocyte progenitors could be engrafted to the rodent spinal cord and how the characteristics

Accelerated cell aging, indexed in peripheral leukocytes by telomere shortness and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by telomerase activity, has been reported in several studies of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the relevance of these peripheral measures for brain indices that are presumably more directly related to MDD pathophysiology is unknown. In this study, we explored

The rapid progress in scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques in the last decade has induced an increasing need for manufacturing advanced SPM tips. One important case is conductive and transparent tips. For such tips, only a few techniques have been proposed. which are either expensive or have poor reproducibility. We here propose a simple and cheap sol-gel technique to prepare fibers with a s
