Eight laboratories participated in a concerted research project on the assessment of hot working conditions. The objectives were, among others, to co-ordinate the work of the main European research teams in the field of thermal factors and to improve the methods available to assess the risks of heat disorders at the workplace, and in particular the “Required Sweat Rate” model as presented in Inter

AIMS: To investigate the association between socioeconomic status, unemployment and self-rated psychological health, taking economic stress and horizontal trust into account. Design/setting/participants/measurements: The 2008 public health survey in Skåne is a cross-sectional postal questionnaire study with a 55% participation rate. A random sample was invited and 28,198 persons aged 18-80 partici

Photoionization to the N2+ A 2Πu state is studied using photoelectron spectroscopy. Experimentally, vibrational branching ratios for the v′=0–3 levels obtained for the first time in the 20–34 eV region, show strong non Franck–Condon effects around 22 eV. Using ab initio many body perturbation theory, branching ratios for ionization to the A 2Πu state are calculated. This study indicates that the F

High dietary salt is a leading risk for death and disability largely by causing increased blood pressure. Other associated health risks include gastric and renal cell cancers, osteoporosis, renal stones, and increased disease activity in multiple sclerosis, headache, increased body fat and Meniere's disease. The World Hypertension League (WHL) has prioritized advocacy for salt reduction. WHL resou

In 2002, the Romanian National Reference Laboratory was invited to join the Strep-EURO project to study invasive Streptococcus pyogenes infections. During 2003 and 2004, a total of 33 isolates recovered from invasive disease were received from eight Romanian counties. For comparison, 102 isolates from non-invasive disease, as well as a collection of 12 old invasive strains (isolated between 1967 a

Three types of Gafchromic films have been studied to investigate their potential for use as a visually readable dosemeter for persons acting as first responders in connection with radiological or nuclear emergencies. The two most sensitive film types show a pronounced variation in sensitivity by photon energy and are therefore not suitable for use in cases of unknown exposures. The third film type

OBJECTIVE: To define age-adjusted incidence trends in multiple myeloma (MM) in a well-characterized population during a long period, given that some, but not all, studies have reported increasing MM incidence over time and that clinical experience from some centers suggests an increased incidence mainly in younger age groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We identified all patients (N=773) with MM diagnos

Popular Abstract in Swedish I många företag och organisationer är planering av inköp, produktion, lagerhållning och transporter av stor betydelse för lönsamheten. Inom tillverkningsindustrin är det till exempel vanligt att värdet på lager, förråd och produkter i arbete överstiger värdet av hela produktionssystemet inklusive maskiner och byggnader. Effektiv styrning av produktion och lagerhållning In many companies and organisations the planning and control of purchasing, production, inventory and transportation is of great importance. In a manufacturing industry it is not unusual that the value of the total stock of end products and parts in production is larger than the value of the production system itself with its machines and factory buildings. Efficient control of inventory and produc

Det är nu femton år sedan Gun Andersson drabbades av en hjärnblödning. Hon använder sig dagligen av sin digitala kamera och har under åren efter hjärnblödningen med jämna mellanrum i form av rapporter dokumenterat sina framsteg. Detta är den senaste.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework of lexical meaning, broadly along the lines of Cognitive Semantics (Langacker 1987a). The paper focuses on interpretations of adjective-noun (ADJ N ) combinations in English. Within the proposed model, all aspects of meaning are to be explained in terms of properties of ontologies in conceptual space, i.e. properties of content ontologies and sch
