The Crises Model: A Socially Useful Psychologism

‘The model of crisis’ is a culturally shared and widespread idea of ​​human reactions to a number of misfortunes, such as accidents, diagnosis of disease, divorces, becoming a parent of a disabled child, etc. The crisis model conveys the idea of coming to terms with unwanted experiences while advancing through different “phases”, for example phases of “denial”, “processing”, and “acceptance”. The

Robot-assisted laparoscopy for benign uterine disease. Feasibility, outcome and hospital cost.

The introduction of the laparoscope was a milestone within gynecologic surgery. Despite evidence of better perioperative outcome compared to laparotomy, laparoscopy is mostly performed for less advanced surgical procedures and the uptake of laparoscopic hysterectomy has been slow. An effort to preserve the clinical benefits of laparoscopic surgery and facilitate the performance of more advanced su

Characterizations of new Delta E detectors for single-ion hit facility

This paper describes the performance evaluation of new Delta E detectors to be used as pre-cell hit detectors in living cell irradiation experiments at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis facility (LIBAF). Using these detectors with a thickness down to 4.15 mu m fabricated at Lund University, an experiment was setup in which Delta E-detectors were used together with a stop E-detector in a telescope system

Abstract in SpanishEl control basado en reglas (RBC - Rule-Base Control) para un cami-nado “normal” de una prótesis transfemoral fue desarrollado para suimplementación en un microcontrolador. Se presentan las ventajasal utilizar este tipo de control sobre métodos analíticos, así como los resultados obtenidos de los análisis del ciclo de marcha, la genera-ción de reglas, la estructura de programaci

Searches for supersymmetry with the ATLAS detector using final states with two leptons and missing transverse momentum in root s=7 TeV proton-proton collisions

Results of three searches are presented for the production of supersymmetric particles decaying into final states with missing transverse momentum and exactly two isolated leptons, e or mu. The analysis uses a data sample collected during the first half of 2011 that corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 1 fb(-1) of root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector

Relaxed step functions for evaluation of CCN counter data on size-separated aerosol particles

tmospherically important data are gained from cloud condensation nucleus counter (CCNC) analysis of aerosols that are particle mobility separated using differential mobility analysers (I)MA). We present relaxed step functions that can be fitted to these data to obtain critical diameters or critical supersaturations. The step functions are based on the DMA transfer function. We treat the case with

Transfusion of sex-mismatched and non-leukocyte-depleted red blood cells in cardiac surgery increases mortality.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the mortality risk of blood transfusions when donor information, postdonation treatment, and a wide selection of risk factors are taken into account. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on 9907 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and/or aortic valve replacement. Several transfusion-related risk factors, including age of blood products, sex of don

Arrival Stories. Dialogical Analyses of Performed Tolerance in Narrative

Stories about another country are often viewed as filled with stereotypes and prejudices. Still there are other ways to organize foreign experiences, especially for actors needing to achieve an attitude of proximity. This article analyzes arrival stories, in this case Swedish businessmen’s stories about their first arrival to a post-communist country, in order to show how such stories may be used

Exploring new possibilities for case based explanation of artificial neural network ensembles

Artificial neural network (ANN) ensembles have long suffered from a lack of interpretability. This has severely limited the practical usability of ANNs in settings where an erroneous decision can be disastrous. Several attempts have been made to alleviate this problem. Many of them are based on decomposing the decision boundary of the ANN into a set of rules. We explore and compare a set of new me

SMOKING AND SMOKING CESSATION IN A HEALTH EQUITY PERSPECTIVE IN SWEDEN – AN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY IN THE ADULT POPULATION

The widening inequalities in smoking are one of the growing public health challenges in western countries, where smoking and smoking cessation patterns are unequally distributed among the populations. Inequalities in smoking and smoking cessation are closely associated with factors such as socioeconomic status, psychosocial and cultural factors. In Sweden, individuals with low socioeconomic status

Self-awareness of heart failure in the oldest old-an observational study of participants, ≥ 80 years old, with an objectively verified heart failure.

One of the primary reasons for hospitalisation among elderly individuals with heart failure (HF) is poor self-care. Self-awareness of having HF may be a key-element in successful self-care. The prevalence of self-awareness of HF, and how it is affected by age-and HF-related factors, remains poorly understood. The aims of the present study were to determine the prevalence of self-awareness of HF in

Image-Based 3D Modeling as a Documentation Method for Zooarchaeological Remains in Waste-Related Contexts

During the last twenty years archaeology has experienced a technological revolution that spans scientific achieve-ments and day-to-day practices. The tools and methods from this digital change have also strongly impacted archaeology. Image-based 3D modeling is becoming more common when documenting archaeological features but is still not implement-ed as standard in field excavation projects. When

A comparison of alternative modelling approaches to evaluate the European forest carbon fluxes

The European forest carbon balance studied by various methods shows different results. We compared the regional and national net primary production (NPP) estimated by the forest inventory-based model EFISCEN and the climate-based terrestrial ecosystem models (TEMs: BIOME-BGC, ORCHIDEE, and JULES), and single forests NPP derived from the international network of eddy-covariance towers (FLUXNET).
