A leidenfrost droplet forms when a liquid droplet is placed on a very hot surface. In the case that there is a thin layer of insulating material as a step on the substrate, under specific conditions Leidenfrost droplets interact with the edge of the step. The result of this interaction is sometimes lateral detachment or jumping from the surface. Specically, the best jumping can be observed when li

Kreativitets- och långtidsminnesprocesserna har till synes vissa gemensamma beröringspunkter och är i någon utsträckning funktionsmässigt beroende av varandra. Frågan är hur starkt sambandet mellan processerna är; om en individ uppvisar en god kreativitet, har individen då vanligtvis även en god långtidsminnesförmåga? Syftet med studien var att praktiskt testa detta samt belysa eventuella förekomsThe process of creativity and long term memory are to some extent functionally interdependent.

Praxis från AD visar att även ett starkt alkoholberoende kan likställas med en kronisk alkoholism och därmed kan också dessa personer omfattas av det förstärkta anställningsskyddet som träder i kraft vid sjukdom. Osäkerheten kring sjukdomsdefinitionen gör det näst intill omöjligt att avgränsa arbetsgivarens rehabiliteringsansvar i situationer orsakade av alkoholmissbruk. En utgångspunkt är att arb

The positive δ13C excursion associated with the Late Silurian Lau Event (approximately 420 Ma) is recognized globally and considered to be one of the most prominent carbon isotope excursions of the Phanerozoic.

I västvärlden har övervikt och fetma bland barn ökat de senaste decennierna. Flera studier har visat att övervikt ofta följer individen genom livet och ökar riskerna för följdsjukdomar. Syftet med denna enkätstudie var att undersöka hur svenska BVC-sjuksköterskor (n=34) identifierar och agerar vid övervikt och fetma hos barn. Det framkom att barnövervikt och fetma i huvudsak ansågs vara ett geneti
