Den här rapporten presenterar ett aktionsforskningsprojekt i form av en poesicirkel med sjuksköterskor som arbetar med svårt sjuka och döende människor. Med hjälp av dikten så bearbetar de sina existentiella tankar och upplevelser. Poesin hjälper på så sätt sjuksköterskorna att ge känslorna ett språk. I den aktionsinriktade processen ger sjuksköterskorna uttryck för att poesin hjälper dem att få i

Abstract in UndeterminedVehicles, symbolic goods of modern society, cause serious environmental impact in their endof-life phase owing to present end-of-life treatment practice and abandonment in nature. Theenormous volume of vehicle waste, and accompanying environmental impacts, encourageseeking an environmentally effective policy solution to control the problem of end-of-lifevehicles. This thesi

6 x Saudek. Aspects of an Artist’s Work is about the Czech photographer Jan Saudek (b. 1935) and his pictures. The thesis deals with Saudek’s photography from the 1960s up to and including the 1990s and comprises six relatively self-contained chapters. Each chap-ter takes up a specific range of problems: they deal with issues concerning connections between photography and theatre (chapter 1); issu

Where, if, and how, should researchers draw the limit between gesture proper and semiotically less complex forms of bodily conduct that do not quite qualify as gesture? This is the question of a lower limit of gesture (Andrén 2010). In accord with a comparative semiotic approach (Kendon 2008) I suggest that the question is best understood, not as a binary distinction between gesture and non-gestur

Robust stability of linear systems in presence of bounded uncertain time-varying time delays is studied. The time delay robustness problem is treated in the Integral Quadratic Constraint framework. The stability criterion is formulated as a frequency dependent linear matrix inequality, or equivalently as a Semi-Definite Program (SPD). Therefore, the criterion can be checked efficiently by using va

Popular Abstract in Swedish Astma och hösnuva (allergisk rinit) är två närbesläktade sjukdomar som båda har sin grund i en långdragen, kronisk inflammation i luftvägsslemhinnan. Vid både astma och hösnuva har slemhinnan en benägenhet att reagera kraftigare än normalt på retningar (s.k. hyperreaktivitet). Inflammationen och hyperreaktiviteten regleras av hundratals olika signalsubstanser (mediatoreMucosal inflammation and airway hyperreactivity are regulated by hundreds of different mediators. The recent discovery of gaseous mediators, produced and active within the airways, opens new possibilities for identification of therapeutic targets and ways to monitor airway inflammation. This thesis is focused on two such mediators, nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) along with their role i

Many product development projects nowadays use computer-aided engineering systems in the analysis of product proposals. It is therefore important to appropriately integrate the analyses activities in the product development process. One important aspect of this integration is how to handle the initiation of the task: identifying the need, planning the task and its monitoring, and communicating it

Design patterns are abstract descriptions of solutions to often recurring problems. They are a means to communicate experience in design. Over the past years, along with the increase in popularity of object-oriented design patterns, some problems with the use of them have been identified. One of these lies in documenting software systems using design patterns. Experience has shown that both in the
