The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire is a self-administered region-specific outcome instrument developed to measure upper-extremity disability and symptoms. The DASH consists mainly of a 30-item disability/symptom scale. We performed cross-cultural adaptation of the DASH to Swedish, using a process that included double forward and backward translations, expert and la

We report on the second case of a reed warbler x great reed warbler hybrid (Acrocephalus scirpaceus and A. arundinaceus). The bird was captured during a standardised ringing session in Belgium in autumn 1999, and fell between the parental species in all measurements. Molecular analyses of two microsatellite loci verified that the bird was a female that had a reed warbler father and a great reed wa

Background: The role of antioxidants in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is uncertain. Objective: We evaluated cross-sectional relations of dietary intakes and plasma concentrations of antioxidants with glucose metabolism in a high-risk population. Design: The subjects, were 81 male and 101 female first- and second-degree, nondiabetic relatives of patients with type 2 diabetes. Antioxidant inta

Culling techniques have always been a central part of computer graphics, but graphics hardware still lack efficient and flexible support for culling. To improve the situation, we introduce the programmable culling unit, which is as flexible as the fragment program unit and capable of quickly culling entire blocks of fragments. Furthermore, it is very easy for the developer to use the PCU as cullin

The status of instrumentation, control and automation (ICA) within the European wastewater community is reviewed and some major incentives and bottlenecks are defined. Future trends of ICA are also discussed. The information is based on a COST 624 workshop and a non-exhaustive survey with regard to ICA carried out in 13 European countries during March 2001. The level of instrumentation (type of se

Om historieämnets försvagade ställning i svensk skola under 1900-talet och samhällskunskapsämnets stärkta ställning under samma tid.

The authors consider weighted Bergman spaces of holomorphic $L\sp p\/$ integrable functions with respect to certain Borel measures on a bounded plane region. A closed subspace $\scr M $ of such a space is said to be invariant if $z {\scr M} \subset {\scr M}$. In the case of the standard Bergman space of the unit disk with $p = 2$, the authors proved in a recent joint paper with C. Sundberg [Acta M

Fractionation of kraft black liquor by ultrafiltration is receiving a great deal of interest at the moment, mainly because the extracted lignin can be used as a biofuel, but also because there are indications that the pulp quality is improved when permeate is used instead of black liquor as the diluent in the cooking process. Fractionation of kraft black liquor calls for membranes that can withsta

A new method of correction of instrumental shifts and gain changes observed in experimental spectra is presented. An application of the method to the data collected in a large scale in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy experiment is discussed.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att analysera relationen och interaktionen mellan genus och nation i en svensk kontext under 1900-talets första hälft. När kvinnor mobiliseras nationellt inom olika typer av nationalism är det oftast moderskapet som åberopas. Detta är en av utgångspunkterna i avhandlingen. Föreställningar om ett nationellt moderskap återfinns också i flera olika sThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the relationship and interaction between gender and nation in a Swedish context, during the first half of the twentieth century. When women become mobilised on a nationwide basis within different types of nationalism, it is often motherhood that is invoked. This is just one point of departure in my dissertation. Perceptions of a national motherhood are also fou
