Background. Traditional crash-based analysis of road safety at individual sites has its shortcomings due to low numbers and the random nature of crashes at individual sites and the related statistical issues, as well as the under-reporting of crashes and lack of information on contributing factors and the process preceding crashes.

Retention in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) care is critical to prevent vertical HIV transmission and reduce morbidity and mortality of mother-infant pairs. We investigated whether weekly, interactive text-messaging improved 18-month postpartum retention in PMTCT care. This randomised, two-armed, parallel trial was conducted at six PMTCT clinics in western Kenya.

The present paper describes case studies where the purpose was to identify two unknown ancestors: the author’s paternal grandfather [FF] and his paternal grandmother’s maternal grandfather’s father [FMMFF]. A four-step method was used: (1) The author’s and his brother’s closest atDNA matches were identified, and the genealogical relationships to these matches were searched for by a comparison with

Microorganisms can be used for production of pharmaceutical substances. With the introduction of gene technology, it is possible to transfer information from one organism to the other, thereby making the receiving organism capable of producing substances that it did not so before. This development is very important for e.g. production of therapeutic proteins However, when using living organisms fo

The traffic in wireless networks has been showing an exponential growth over the last decade. In order to meet the demand, and support a continuation of this growth, the scarce radio resources need to be efficiently used. The use of multiple antenna (MIMO) systems and iterative (turbo) receivers has significantly improved the realizable system performance. Still, many challenges exist in the devel

Den hälsomässiga effekten som rapporteras i samband med sjuka-hus syndromet (SBS), vars orsak är okänd, kan betraktas som ett mönster av icke specifika symptom såsom irritationer i ögon, näsa och mun, upplevelser av torra sletnhinnor och hud, hudrodnad, mental trötthet och upplevelse av svag men ihållande lukt. Aven exponeringar i inomhusluften kan beskrivas som ett mönster av en mängd olika ämnen

Popular Abstract in Undetermined All of our present information technology culture with computers, internet, smart-phones, Bluetooth links, 3D-Tv, iPad tablets, programmable washing/cooking machines, car engines, navigation computers, etc. (the list goes on and on) is based on small electrical circuits. The smaller these circuits can be made, the faster and the better microelectronics can perform.Present-day electronics employ circuits of smaller and smaller dimensions, and today the length scales are so small that the laws of physics which rule micro-cosmos, quantum mechanics, become directly important. This thesis reports on theoretical work on electron transport in different nanostructures. We have studied semiconductor quantum wells, layered materials where each layer can be only a few

Popular Abstract in Swedish Regimskiftet 1965-1966 i Indonesien åtföljdes av en massaker på kommunister och vänstersympatisörer, varvid uppskattningsvis 1/2 miljon människor fick sätta livet till. Ytterligare 100.000-tals personer internerades i över ett decennium, somliga så länge som 30 år utan att deras sak blev prövad i en rättegång. Andra blev summariskt avrättade. Så sent som på 1990 talet vStarting from Theodor Adorno´s assertion that art is negative knowledge of the real world, the book analyses Indonesian literature produced during the New Order which deal with the events of 1965-1966 and its consequences. A number of Indonesia´s best known authors have written on the subject. The central issue raised is the extent to which this literature has contributed to undermining and thereb

Abstract in Spanish Al tiempo que el mundo se ha vuelto más comprimido a través de la articulación de actores transnacionales o transportadores, como los expertos itinerantes, las organizaciones internacionales y los aparentes cuerpos globalizados de conocimiento, también los políticos y académicos chinos se han hecho más globales en varios campos de la acción social, incluida la educación.

Popular Abstract in Undetermined The transparent wings of tiny parasitic wasps and small flies are remarkably thin, only a few hundreds nanometers thick, and may appear to have a simple structural airfoil design. The thesis deals with new findings about structural color reflections and the ultrastructure of such tiny transparent wings of parasitic wasps. The main discovery is that when seemingly tThe remarkably thin transparent wing membranes in tiny wasps may appear to have a simple structural design, but hide a largely unexplored complex of micro-morphological features that serve aerodynamics and may also function in visual signaling. I found that when such small transparent wings are viewed against a dark background they display vivid structural color patterns due to thin film interfere

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to develop a technique for automatic segmentation based on Fourier descriptors for separating smooth objects from the background in SPECT-images. The aim of the segmentation method was to be able to automatically outline kidneys in SPECT-images of patients undergoing radionuclide therapy with 177Lu-DOTATATE. The potential advantage of combining SPECT- an

Spillover effects and systemic risk contribution of institutions, as measured by their CoVaR and delta-CoVaR respectively, is one way of assessing risk both for an institution in isolation, as well as for regulators and the economy as a whole. CoVaR is the q%-VaR of an institution conditional on another institution already being at its q%-VaR level, whereas delta-CoVaR measures each institution’s

I denna uppsats undersöks aborträtten i Sverige och Irland samt innebörden av artiklarna 2, 3, 8, 9 och 10 i Europakonventionen i förhållande till aborter. Syftet är att belysa övergripande likheter och skillnader mellan de svenska och de irländska reglerna och att diskutera hur de nationella reglerna kan förändras, för att stärka olika rättigheter och bättre harmoniera med Europakonventionen. DetThis essay investigates abortion law in Sweden and Ireland and the meaning of articles 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, in relation to abortions. The aim is to illustrate general similarities and differences between Swedish and Irish abortion law and to discuss how the law might be changed in order to strengthen different rights and to increase its harmonisation with t

Up to recently mobile gamma spectrometry has mostly been performed with NaI(Tl)-based detector systems. However lately the interest of using HPGe(High Purity Germanium)-based systems have increased and one has realised that the excellent energy resolution of HPGe-detectors, in combination with the possibility to manufacture larger crystals than before, is an advantage not only when performing in s

Background: Data from 1998 showed that CT represents about 10% of all the diagnostic X-ray examinations and almost 70% of the total radiation dose from medical diagnostic examinations in Sweden. Because of this there is a strong need to minimize the radiation dose and adapt the dose to each patient’s examination area and anatomy. Today practically all-modern CT systems are delivered with automatic

In this presentation we report the results of our systematic review of recent empirical studies that focus on making use of the scholarship of teaching and learning to support the development of university teaching. Given its potential as a strategy for individual development and, as importantly, for a university’s “aggregated ability to support student learning” (Mårtensson, Roxå, & Olsson, 2
