The reviewer applauds the translation but finds some weaknesses in the presentation of the historical Jesus.

The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between stigmatizing rejection experiences and self-related variables. Our hypothesis was that rejection experiences would be negatively associated with perceptions of self-esteem, empowerment and sense of coherence. A cross-sectional study assessing rejection experiences, empowerment, sense of coherence and self-esteem was performed, including

Adolescent substance use is an area of concern because early substance use is associated with a higher risk of adverse outcomes. Parenting style, defined as the general style of parenting, as well as substance-specific parenting practices may influence children's substance use behaviour. The present study aims to probe the impact of parenting style on adolescent substance use.

Kulturartikel om hanteringen av attacken mot World Trade Center i amerikansk film bl.a. genom bortredigeringen av byggnaderna ur en rad aktuella biofilmer samt indragningen av planerade premiärfilmer om terrorattentat mot amerikanska byggnader av politisk symbolbetydelse.

Antibodies specifically targeting tumor-associated antigens have proved to be important tools in the treatment of human cancer. A desirable target antigen should be unique to tumor cells, abundantly expressed, and readily available for antibody binding. The Ku70/80 DNA-repair protein is expressed in the nucleus of most cells; it is, however, also present on the cell surface of tumor cell lines, an

This article discusses the characteristics of ritual practices, according to Roy Rappaport-s general theory of ritual. I start by discussing technology as a kind of ritual product of science and then briefly present Rappaport-s ritual theory as an aid in understanding how the Mi-kmaq Indians of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, employed rituals in their efforts to protect a sacred mountain from bei

BACKGROUND: New developments in processing of digital radiographs (DR), including multi-frequency processing (MFP), allow optimization of image quality and radiation dose. This is particularly promising in children as they are believed to be more sensitive to ionizing radiation than adults. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the use of MFP software reduces the radiation dose without compromising qualit

An international consensus report on postresuscitation care after cardiac arrest has recently been published. Its content and main messages are in line with the recommendations from The Swedish Resuscitation Council, which include: diagnosing and treating the underlying disease, offering good general intensive care, considering hypothermia treatment, standardising prognostication and follow-up.

We consider the COST259 directional channel model (DCM) in relation to other existing channel models. The COST259 DCM is a general model for the mobile radio channel that includes narrowband power (field strength), power delay profiles, and directions of arrival. For comparison purposes, it is desirable that the channel models forming the basis of earlier simulations are contained as special cases

We have developed an algorithm for arterial luminal diameter measurement by means of ultrasound and evaluated the algorithm on agar vessel phantoms and in vivo. The algorithm utilises relative threshold detection on the inner slopes of the arterial walls before the resolution is improved by solving the equation of a straight line between the samples around the threshold value. Further, correction
