Checklists for Software Engineering Case Study Research

Case study is an important research methodology for software engineering. We have identified the need for checklists supporting researchers and reviewers in conducting and reviewing case studies. We derived checklists for researchers and reviewers respectively, using systematic qualitative procedures. Based on nine sources on case studies, checklists are derived and validated, and hereby presented

The comparative safety of oral versus intranasal desmopressin for the treatment of children with nocturnal enuresis

Purpose: Desmopressin is a well established and effective therapy for nocturnal enuresis. Water intoxication leading to hyponatremia is an infrequent but serious adverse event associated with desmopressin. We assessed the safety of desmopressin in children 18 years or younger with nocturnal enuresis with a focus on the relative safety of the oral compared with the intranasal formulation. Materials

No augmentation of morselized and impacted bone graft by OP-1 in a weight-bearing model.

Introduction: Impacted morselized bone allograft is thought to be remodeled to a great extent. We have previously shown that load-bearing increases the remodeling of impacted morselized bone allografts in a rabbit knee prosthesis model. Bone Morphogenic Proteins (BMPs) also stimulate bone formation and bone allograft remodeling. In this study, our aim was to determine whether it was possible to in

Politik och emotioner

I denna artikel har jag försökt visa att när man engagerar sig i en politisk rörelse spelar emotioner en inte obetydlig roll. Ty den fråga man måste ställa sig är om det är troligt att känslorna inte har någon betydelse för de personer som är aktiva i föreningar av olika slag? Tron att passion och emotioner har en betydelse för engagemanget kan ses som ett alternativ till uppfattning att det är ”i

Studies on some raw material characteristics in different Swedish apple varieties

Some raw material characteristics were evaluated in three apple varieties cultivated in Southern Sweden, namely Kim, Mutsu and Jonagold. The study was undertaken to collect information in order to identify the effects of initial tissue properties on mass transport phenomena in general, and osmotic processing responses in particular. The texture profile analysis revealed cortex anisotropy of the th

Ett att kan betyda så mycket

The Swedish function word 'att' tends to be phonetically marked in hesitation contexts. The relation between such contexts and the syntactic complexity of the following clause is discussed.

Fångad i deckarens fälla

Arbetarförfattare skriver deckare och når en bred publik. Men man kan lika väl säga att de förvandlar sig till underhållningsförfattare. Kanske går de under för en borgerlig kultur på samma sätt som när modernismen blev viktigare än klassen i litteraturen i mitten av förra seklet. Vänstern måste bygga upp sina egna kulturella institutioner om dagens arbetarlitteratur ska vidareutvecklas. Magnus Ni

Observation of vacancies in Ga1-xMnxAs with positron annihilation spectroscopy

Positron annihilation spectroscopy can be used to determine the role of vacancy defects in semiconductors, by identification and quantification of the vacancies and their chemical surroundings. We have studied 0.5-0.8 mum thick low temperature MBE GaMnAs layers with Mn content 0.5-5% and different As-2 partial pressures at growth. The Doppler broadening results show that the Ga vacancy concentrati

Neruons; regulators of CNS inflammation

Neurons have been neglected as cells with major immune regulatory function. Here, we present novel data demonstrating that neurons are highly immune competent and play crucial role in regulation of T cell response and CNS inflammation. Neurons induce proliferation of activated CD4+T cells via B7-CD28 and TGF-?1-TGF-?R signaling pathways with amplification of TCR signaling and increased phosphoryla

Psychological profile in patients with Stages I and II breast cancer: associations of psychological profile with tumor biological prognosticators.

We have earlier shown that breast cancer patients with moderately or well differentiated tumors seem to be able to inhibit stress evoked from anger in a successful manner, while those with poorer prognosis do not. We now report a study with an enlarged group of patients, investigating associations between tumor biological factors and psychological profile. 129 patients with Stages I and II breast

Molecular analysis of wild and domestic sheep questions current nomenclature and provides evidence for domestication from two different subspecies

Complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control regions (CR) were sequenced and analysed in order to investigate wild sheep taxonomy and the origin of domestic sheep (Ovis aries). The dataset for phylogenetic analyses includes 63 unique CR sequences from wild sheep of the mouflon (O. musimon, O. orientalis), urial (O. vignei), argali (O. ammon) and bighorn (O. canadensis) groups, and from domestic shee

Recording of foetal movements: a comparison of three methods

As decreased foetal movement (FM) may indicate impaired foetal health, FM recording has been suggested as a method of assessing foetal well-being. A non-intrusive, automated method of recording FM (FM-detector), was compared with maternal and ultrasonographic assessment of FMs in 24 women in the third trimester of pregnancy. The FM-detector detected a greater proportion of ultrasonographically rec

Spectral shaping of UWB signals for time-hopping impulse radio

This paper studies the design of signaling waveforms for time-hopping impulse radio (TH-IR) with limits on the power spectral density. Such restrictions are imposed by the spectral mask prescribed by frequency regulators for ultra-wideband (UWB) signals. The "conventional" TH-IR system with pulse-position modulation and time-hopping multiple access gives rise to spectral lines that either violate
