Development strategies in a context of world system disorder

The world has been through several major crises since the beginning of the new millennium and the old-world order, with the US as hegemonic power, is challenged by the rise of China. There has been a reversal of, as well as directional change in, the globalization trend. A weakening of international collaboration is taking place against a backdrop of global challenges such as climate change, digit

The importance of the setting during sedation for intrathecal chemotherapy in pediatric oncology care : A case study

Increasing survival rates for childhood cancer have brought attention to the high level of burden of cancer and its treatment. Improving supportive care for children throughout their cancer trajectory is thus important and could reduce the difficulties related to treatment, including time-consuming treatments and the waiting time associated with treatment procedures. The aim of this study is to de

Creating a shielding place for children with leukaemia during sedation for intrathecal chemotherapy : A grounded theory study

Purpose: Childhood cancer invades the child's daily life and has a strong influence on their living conditions and lifestyle. The treatment is an unpleasant experience and the children often perceive the treatment as worse than the actual disease. The aim of the present study was thus to explore the process of how healthcare professionals improved care for children undergoing sedation for intrathe

Participation in paediatric perioperative care : ‘what it means for parents’

Aims and objectives: To explore what it means for parents to participate in their children's paediatric perioperative care. Background: Allowing parents to participate in paediatric perioperative care can make a major difference for children in terms of their well-being, a decreased need for painkillers, fewer sleeping disorders and a more positive experience for both parties. The nurse anaestheti

The perspective of children on factors influencing their participation in perioperative care

Aims and objectives: To describe the experiences of participation in perioperative care of 8- to 11-year-old children. Background: All children have the right to participate in decisions that affect them and have the right to express their views in all matters that concern them. Allowing children to be involved in their perioperative care can make a major difference in terms of their well-being by

The governmentalisation of risk in liberal democracies : Four processes both making and breaking the governing of risk on the societal level

Numerous risks threaten modern society. Some are new, while others have existed since the beginning of time, but none have been governed on a societal level since their inception. Despite the abundance of literature addressing the governance of various risks, the processes by which they become governable in the first place have gotten little attention. As a result, this paper aims to improve our k

Reconceptualizing Cross-Cutting Political Expression on Social Media : A Case Study of Facebook Comments During the 2016 Brexit Referendum

Political communication research has long sought to understand the effects of cross-cutting exposure on political participation. Here, we argue for a paradigm shift that acknowledges the agency of citizens as producers of cross-cutting expression on social media. We define cross-cutting expression as political communication through speech or behavior within a counter-attitudinal space. After expli

Gymnasieelevers resonemang kring kemisk jämvikt

I denna artikel beskrivs en studie av hur gymnasieelever använder kemiska symboler och begrepp när de resonerar runt kemisk jämvikt. Studiens mål var att undersöka hur elevernas prestationsnivå och vetenskapliga språknivå är relaterad till deras förmåga att skapa mening i kemi.

Effects of Interface Oxidation on Noise Properties and Performance in III–V Vertical Nanowire Memristors

Memristors implemented as resistive random-access memories (RRAMs) owing to their low power consumption, scalability, and speed are promising candidates for in-memory computing and neuromorphic applications. Moreover, a vertical 3D implementation of RRAMs enables high-density crossbar arrays at a minimal footprint. Co-integrated III–V vertical gate-all-around MOSFET selectors in a one-transistor-o

On abduction, dualities and reason

We integrate dualistic conceptions of the real with Peirce's perspectivesabout reality and abduction, emphasizing the concept of reason underlyingPeirce's thoughts. Peirce's abduction is related to the notions of retrogression and grounding in Hegel, later re-encountered in Hansonian-abduction. Abduction in turn is considered in relation to abstraction acquiring its fullest sense as a stage in the

Development of gambling disorder after bariatric surgery: a call for research

The relationship between bariatric surgery and alcohol use disorder (AUD) suggests that there may be a parallel connection between bariatric surgery and gambling disorder (GD), although this has never been researched before. Here, we describe observations suggesting that patients undergoing bariatric surgery may develop gambling disorders after surgery. Obese, older adults, and women may be at par

An Assembled Message : Matthen on the Content of Perceptual Experience

Mohan Matthen holds that visual perceptual content is divided into descriptive and referential elements. Descriptive content is our awareness of sensory features belonging to objects located in the visual field. Matthen conceives of this in terms of an image. The referential element is a demonstrative form of content, by which we pick out those objects as particulars and assert their physical pres
