The overall aim of this thesis is to elaborate on the art of living with a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) in its relation to resources and norms in Swedish society. The thesis originates in part from a prevalence group of SCI individuals and is based on four studies. One is longitudinal and register based, and one is interview based. A paper on “ethics in the making” elaborates how general ver

Reconstruction of movement control properties of the brain could result in many potential advantages for application in robotics. However, a hampering factor so far has been the lack of knowledge of the structure and function of brain circuitry in vivo during movement control. Much more detailed information has recently become available for the area of the cerebellum that controls arm–hand movemen

In order to compare measurements in different laboratories and with different models and measuring principles a small Round Robin test was suggested. 8 test institutions were able to join the study (with foot model sizes from 254 mm to 275 mm and test boot sizes from 41 to 44). We got also a declaration of interest from several other institutes that were not able to carry out the tests. A database

The chapter discusses problms of succession in the GCC states and how they are likely to impact regimes' responses to domestic and foreign demands for political reforms. It attempts to put succession issues in the context the emerging new order in the Gulf.

Boken beskriver hur man på ett kostnadseffektivt sätt minskar risken för avbrott i flödet av varor och tjänster mellan olika led i försörjningskedjan samt säkerställer en snabb återgång till ett stabilt flöde om ett avbrott trots allt inträffar. Ämnesmässigt hamnar boken inom områdena Risk Management, Business Continuity Management och Supply Chain Risk Management. Boken ger läsaren kunskaper om h

Hipparcos observations of double stars, mainly A and F primaries, aremodelled in order to check the statistics of double-star solutions inthe Hipparcos Catalogue and to set quantitative limits on binarydistributions. The number of companions per primary is estimated to 0.25+/-0.05 for semi-major axes from 1 to 10 AU, and to 0.43 +/-0.20 for therange 10--100 AU. The total multiplicity found is betw

Kapitlet är en introduktion till en antologi, tillkommen inom ramen för Forskarskolan i historia och historiedidaktik

Glass sheets investigated regarding their Po-210 signal originating from indoor radon exposure will have a depth distribution down to about 100 nm. The geometrical probability of implantation into glass of glass-attached radon daughter activity in one alpha recoil event is 50%. A particulate layer on the glass sheet (dust, grease or other particles) will stop the alpha recoil nucleus partly or tot

Popular Abstract in Swedish Uppskattningsvis 30 % av befolkningen i industrialiserade länder drabbas varje år av förgiftningar och infektioner överförda via livsmedel och frekvensen i utvecklingsländer tros vara högre. För att kunna producera säker mat behövs mer kunskap om vilka egenskaper hos livsmedelsburna patogener, dvs. sjukdomsframkallande mikroorganismer som gör oss sjuka. Dessa egenskaperThe development of new, minimally processed food products challenges traditional concepts of food safety. How pathogenic bacteria behave in these new matrices is not known. To fill this knowledge gap and enable the production of food that is safe for the consumer, more information on virulence expression of pathogens in food matrices is required. In this thesis, the impact of environmental factors
