90-talets anbudskonkurrens i äldreomsorgen : några utvecklingstendenser

I Sverige inleddes utvecklingen mot entreprenaddriven äldreomsorg i början av 1990-talet. Sedan dess har antalet äldre som får hjälp av privata utförare blivit allt fler. Fortfarande är det dock en mindre andel av äldreomsorgen som drivs på entreprenad. Entreprenaddriften är en förhållandevis ny företeelse som fått stor massmedial uppmärksamhet genom åren. De effekter som hittills har kunnat pres

Increased numbers of orexin/hypocretin neurons in a genetic rat depression model.

The Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) rat is a genetic animal model of depression that displays characteristics similar to those of depressed patients including lower body weight, decreased appetite and reduced REM sleep latency. Hypothalamic neuropeptides such as orexin/hypocretin, melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript (CART), that are involved in the re

Respiration in the light and bacterio-phytoplankton coupling in a coastal environment

In pelagic ecosystems, the principal source of organic matter is via autotrophic production and the primary sink is through heterotrophic respiration. One would therefore anticipate that there is some degree of linkage between these two compartments. Recent work has shown that respiration in the light is higher than dark respiration. Consequently, many of the methods used to determine respiration

Early vascular aging and the role of central blood pressure.

Vascular aging is described as a gradual process involving biochemical, enzymatic, and cellular changes of the vasculature and modification of the signals that modulate them. On the basis of this conception a new pathophysiological model for deeper understanding of cardiovascular risk and its treatment was introduced. The idea of early vascular aging, that is the acceleration of vascular aging see

A 12-bit 125-MHz segmented current-steering DAC for communication application

A 12-bit 125-MHz digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for communication application is designed. It is based on current-steering segmented architecture and modified Q2 random walk switching scheme to obtain 12-bit accuracy. A new voltage swing reduced driver (VSRD) is implemented to promote the dynamic performance. The DAC uses 0.18 µm 1.8 V standard digital CMOS technology. The die area (core) is 2.

Horizontal Environmental Assessment of Postponement Strategy – A Delphi-based Investigation

This paper is based on the findings of a research work by Abukhader and Jönson (2004a), who discuss the possibilities and limitations of the ties of postponement strategy in food supply chains. They identified the cases/examples (i.e. company cases) of application of postponement across the various categories of foods: frozen, chilled/fresh and long shelf life. The food industry nowadays is in nee

Enriched environment reduces apolipoprotein E (ApoE) in reactive astrocytes and attenuates inflammation of the peri-infarct tissue after experimental stroke.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), a cholesterol transporter and an immunomodulator, is brain protective after experimental stroke and implicated in brain repair. Here, we study the involvement of ApoE in the restoration of brain function after experimental stroke, by using animal housing conditions that differentially improve recovery after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). We found

Further results on binary convolutional codes with an optimum distance profile

Fixed binary convolutional codes are considered which are simultaneously optimal or near-optimal according to three criteria: namely, distance profiled, free distanced_{ infty}, and minimum number of weightd_{infty}paths. It is shown how the optimum distance profile criterion can be used to limit the search for codes with a large value ofd_{infty}. We present extensive lists of such robustly optim
