Fifty-one adolescent-onset anorexia nervosa (AN) cases recruited after community screening were compared with 51 age-, sex-, and school-matched cases with regard to personality disorders and autism-spectrum disorders (ASD)/empathy disorders at age 21 years. All 102 cases had originally been examined at a mean age of 16 years, slightly over a year after the reported onset of the eating disorder. St

The purpose of conference of the Swedish Network for European Legal Studies in Stockholm on March 22 and 23 was to detect and evaluate general principles of European community law. The conference was a follow up to the 1999 Malmö conference on the subject and the question was if there had been any new development. In 1999 general principles of Community law was discussed from the perspective of hu

The purpose of this paper is to examine current practices of load factor utilisation of road transport. An interview study of five shippers and two transport providers were conducted. The research shows that transport providers seem to work efficiently with operational practices to improve the load factor, but the load factor seems not to be highly prioritised when it comes to strategic decisions.

This report supplements the report "Industrial Relations Foresight for Sweden: Presentation of Results and Comments. While the latter report focus on Sweden does this report primarily contain comparisons between the 34 countries participating in the Eurofound project on future industrial relations up to the year 2025.

We study through electromagnetic modeling the absorption of light of a given wavelength in an array of horizontal InP nanowires of diameter less than 100 nm. Such absorption is performed most efficiently by using polarized light and by exciting a coupled optical resonance in a sparse array. In that case, we excite a resonance in the individual nanowires and couple the resonances in neighboring nan

Med viss kritisk distans skildras ortodoxins bibelargumentation, då det gäller dopet som medel till pånyttfödelse. Tanken att alla spädbarn som döps undfår tro och pånyttfödelse i dopet sätts i samband med ortodoxins syn på viljefrihet och predestination. Det betonas också att dopet för de ortodoxa ej var något absolut villkor för att en person skulle räknas som medlem i kyrkan.

Recently, a great deal of effort has been focused on developing the so called “fully unconstrained” approach to noncollinear magnetism. This approach allows the magnetization density within a material to be calculated as a continuous vector variable of position, as opposed to using the atomic moment approximation (AMA) where a fixed quantization direction is assumed for a volume filling sphere sur

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar robotteknik och de nya möjligheter som den kan ge människor med rörelsehinder. Jag fokuserar på teknikanvändaren och teknikanvändningen, speciellt på vad som gör robothjälpmedel värda att använda. Distinktion görs mellan användvärdhet och användbarhet. Erfarenheter från användning av den rullstolsmonterade robotarmen Manus visar att tekniska kravThis thesis deals with robotics and the new possibilities it offers people with physical disabilities. I focus on the user and the use of the technology and, in particular, on what makes robotic aids worth using - useworthiness as distinguished from usability. User experience of the wheelchair-mounted Manus manipulator shows that robotic arms must meet technical requirements in terms of accelerat

Light-in-flight recording by holography uses a picosecond pulse for the reference beam, which like a sheet of light intersects the hologram plate and produces a sensitivity area that with a speed faster than light moves over the plate like a light shutter. If, however, the front of the reference pulse by diffraction in a grating is tilted relative to its direction of motion, the velocity of the li

Popular Abstract in English Figure 1: Electron microscopy image of mesoporous material seen from above. The left image shows a possible shape of a silica particle (scale bar: 1 μm). The right image shows the mesopores in the particle (grey color) with the silicon dioxide walls (black color) (scale bar: 150 nm). Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM) is a polymer that can provide the active part forMesoporous silica materials, such as SBA-15, have potential as biocompatible carriers for pharmaceutical applications as well as mini-reactors in e.g. catalysis. This potential arises from their well-defined porous structure on the nanometre scale accompanied by a high internal surface area (800 - 1000 m2/g). This work addresses the following issues. i) Surface grafted PNIPAAM was found to be loca
