The article presents the main results of a joint investigation by Swedish researchers and industry representatives carried out during 2006-2007 concerning the benefits of modern object based information and communication technology, ICT, for industrialisation of the building industry. The background for the investigation was an experience by both parties of a lack of coherence between scientific r

The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether the outcome obtained at the end of a work rehabilitation programme for people with various disabilities were stable in a one-year perspective. An additional aim was to explore which factors influenced the outcome upon completion of work rehabilitation and at the one-year follow-up. The study used information from a database and comprised 29

Our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of urinary tract infection (UTI) pathogenesis has advanced greatly in recent years. In this review, we provide a general background of UTI pathogenesis, followed by an update on the mechanisms of UTI susceptibility, with a particular focus on genetic variation affecting innate immunity. The innate immune response of the host is critically important in the

The aim of the article is to analyse what function quotations have in narrative sequences, argumentative sequences and in conversation. Three aspects of quotations are considered: quotations as constructions, quotation as voices, and quotations as a means of positioning. Examples from Czech and Swedish data illustrate how conversationalists use quotations when they define their own identity and wh

OBJECTIVE:: To evaluate if treatment start and age are related to the outcome in Bell's palsy patients treated with prednisolone. STUDY DESIGN:: Prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial. SETTING:: Sixteen otorhinolaryngologic centers in Sweden and 1 in Finland. PATIENTS:: Data were collected from the Scandinavian Bell's palsy study. A total of 829 patients were

This paper investigates a Swedish house manufactures building system regarding the documentation and information structures. The aim is to evaluate how product modeling technology can be used to facilitate product customization. By dividing the product in four different views the complexity of the product can be reduced and each view represent the interest of customer, engineering, production and

This article deals with the nationalism and the high tide of monuments in Europe

Today more and more functionality is included in embedded systems, resulting in an increased system complexity. existing design methodologies and design tools are not adequate to deal with this increase in complexity. To overcome these limitations application specific design solutions are more common. In this thesis we presents such solutions for real-time image processing. This work is part of th

Dialysis patients often suffer from cardiovascular dis- eases, motivating the use of continuous monitoring of car- diac activity in clinical routine. Cardiac pressure pulses propagate through the vascular system and enter the ex- tracorporeal blood circuit of a dialysis machine, where the pulses are captured by pressure sensors. The cardiac pulses are obscured by the much stronger pressure pulses

The F344 rat carries alleles contributing to bone fragility while the GK rat spontaneously develops type-2 diabetes. These characteristics make F344xGK crosses well suited for the identification of genes related to bone size and allow for future investigation on the association with type-2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for bone size phenotypes measu

Postmodernism has been pointed out – from both left and right, from feminists and anti-feminists – as the dangerous ”other”. Therefore it is provoking to apply postmodern methods and insights to modern class theory. By way of reasoning with Karl Marx and Max Weber, and with older as well as contemporary feminist critics of the concept of class such as Gayle Rubin, Joan Acker, Beverley Skeggs, Nanc
