Eye movements have been extensively studied in a wide range of research fields. While new methods such as mobile eye tracking and eye tracking in virtual/augmented realities are emerging quickly, the eye-movement terminology has scarcely been revised. We assert that this may cause confusion about two of the main concepts: fixations and saccades. In this study, we assessed the definitions of fixati
Purpose: To investigate the main concerns associated with being a parent of a child with cataract and how the parents deal with these concerns. Design and method: Twenty-three parents; 6 mothers, 5 fathers and 6 couples with a child with cataract were included in this study. The parents included some with a personal experience of cataract and some without. Data was collected through 17 in-depth in
Inhibition or ablation of the hyperactive subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Parkinson's disease (PD) does not only reverse motor deficits, silencing the glutamatergic output of the subthalamic nucleus, but has also been implicated to have neuroprotective effects on nigral neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. Ablation of the subthalamic nucleus has been shown to increase the number of tyrosi
Background In the coming half-century, the population of old people will increase, especially in the oldest age groups. Therefore, the prevalence of multiple chronic conditions, and consequently, the need of health care including care in hospital, is rising. Materials and methods This article includes results from three mainly qualitative articles (interviews with frail old people, physicians, and
1. The time course and kinetics of force development following activation by opening of L-type Ca2+ channels was investigated using photodestruction of the Ca2+ channel blocker nifedipine in smooth muscle from the guinea-pig taenia coli. 2. In muscles activated using high K+ and Ca2+ and subsequently inhibited with nifedipine, photodestruction of the drug using a strong ultraviolet light flash ini
Sodium stearoyl-2 lactylate (SSL) lipid surfactant molecules specifically bind partially hydrolysed oat proteins in aqueous medium and significantly enhance the dispersion stability of oat cereal preparations. The proposed complexation is composition dependent and a greater understanding of the role of both oat proteins and lipid surfactant in the effect was gained with data from high performance
Effects of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) conjugation on peptide interactions with lipid membranes and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were investigated for KYE28 (KYEITTIHNLFRKLTHRLFRRNFGYTLR), an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory peptide derived from human heparin cofactor II. In particular, effects of PEG length and localization was investigated by ellipsometry, circular dichroism, nanoparticle trackin
Objectives Do recent infections affect the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)? Methods We used the population-based case-control study EIRA (N= 6401) on incident RA and healthy controls, matched for sex, age, calendar period and area of residence. Gastroenteritis, urinary tract infection, genital infection, prostatitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis and pneumonia during the 2 years before inclusion in t
The possibility of accurately identifying thermal material parameters on the basis of a simple tension test is presented, using a parameter identification framework for thermo-mechanically coupled material models on the basis of full field displacement and temperature field measurements. Main objective is to show the impact of the material model formulation on the results of such an identification
Primary Raynaud's phenomenon (PRP) is characterized by cold- or stress-induced transient attacks of impaired skin circulation in fingers and/or toes. PRP displays seasonal variation with less severe symptoms in the summer. The aetiology has not been clarified. The aims of the present study were (a) to assess the influence of cold exposure on the plasma levels of the nitric oxide (NO) metabolite, n
Several studies have investigated the effect of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) for managing chronic musculoskeletal pain, bringing contrasting results to the forefront. Thus far, however, there has been no synthesis of evidence on the effect of BoNT-A as an adjunctive treatment within a multimodal approach. Hence, Medline via PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library-CENTRAL were searched until Novembe
The plural -ar in smörgåsar for smörgås ‘sandwich’ is regular – even though gås ‘goose’, here used as a simplex, takes an irregular plural, gäss ‘geese’. Why is the form smörgäss not used? Similarly, for trefot, lit. three foot, ‘tripod’, neither trefotar nor the irregular trefötter seems right. To use an irregular plural in such compounds tends to evoke a core reading (“kärnbetydelse”) of the rig
Aim: In this paper, we explore the performance of past-tense inflection of non-verbs (NVI) in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and in typically developing controls, to investigate its accuracy as a clinical marker for Swedish-speaking children with DLD. Further, we investigate the relationship between NVI, nonword-repetition, and family history. Methods: The sample consists of 3
Several notions of a R&D paradox can be found in the literature. In the Swedish Paradox version, the emphasis is normally on high and growing levels of business R&D connected to comparatively low GDP growth rates. This paper examines whether this pattern is consistent over time and, more importantly, which sectors drive the aggregate patterns. Based on an investigation of the entire Swedis
Sub-monolayers of gold have been grown at room temperature on the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanomesh formed on Rh(111), and studied systematically with core level and angle-resolved valence band photoelectron spectroscopy. The results are compared with those for the Au/Rh(111) and Au/h-BN/Pt(111) interfaces. It has been found that on clean Rh(111) substrate gold starts to grow two-dimensional
This article explores and evaluates three common identifications of the woman in Revelation 12: Mary, mother of Jesus, Israel and the church. This is accomplished through the study of allusions, particularly to the Septuagint, that are embedded in the Greek text. Each verse describing the woman in Revelation 12 has connecting points with one or several texts in the Septuagint and seems to allude t
The aim was to investigate whether there are any positive consequences of childhood cancer. Studies published 1990-2005 reporting survivors' descriptions of positive consequences of childhood cancer were identified through a search in the databases CINAHL, PsycINFO, and PubMed. According to a manifest content analysis, positive consequences were referred to three themes: life values, relations to
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka det eventuella uppsåtets försvinnande ur svensk rätt och om lagstiftarens intentioner med detta har uppfyllts. Förståelse för det eventuella uppsåtets ursprung, dess tillämpning i praktiken, dess effekter och de problem som uppkom i samband med dessa undersöks för att besvara syftet. En jämförelse har sedan gjorts med det idag gällande likgiltighetsuppsåte
Vägarna i Sverige är totalt cirka 57 000 mil långa. Av dessa anses cirka 43 000 mil vara tillhöriga enskilda väghållare, det vill säga någon annan än offentliga aktörer så som stat eller myndighet. Vägar har länge haft en stor betydelse ur ett flertal aspekter och det har alltid funnits ett stort intresse av att vidhålla ett gott infrastruktursystem. Bestämmelser om vägar fanns det redan i de äldThe aim of this paper is to improve the management of joint facilities and private roads. This was done by identify and investigat different problems connected to the private road organisations, formed through the regulation of joint facility and associations connected to them. One aspect of the investigation was if the area of included land connected to one joint facility had grown in size. By st
Att stater har rätt till territoriell suveränitet innebär att de har rätt att bestämma vilka som får komma in i deras territorium och vilka som inte får det. Detta är en viktig princip i internationell rätt och utgör grunden för staternas rätt att kontrollera sina gränser och upprätthålla nationella säkerhetsintressen. Samtidigt kolliderar det med principen om non-refoulement, som inkluderar flyktThat states have the right to territorial sovereignty means that they have the right to decide who is allowed to enter their territory and who is not. This is an important principle of international law and it forms the basis of the state's right to control its borders and maintain national security interests. At the same time, it clashes with the principle of non-refoulement, which includes t
