Talk in safety-critical activities displays features that distinguish it from both ordinary conversations as well as from other institutional talk, but it also shares some features with these. Formality and informality are both interactionally accomplished phenomena, although shaped through different sources. Safety rules and pre-printed forms constitute two sources of formalization, dictating how

In this thesis, the fluid dynamic properties of the conventional Rushton turbine and another impeller type, the Scaba Radial flow Gas dispersing Turbine (with six concave blades) are compared. For comparison, point-wise velocity measurements were made in the discharge of the two turbine types using Hot-Wire Anemometry in constant temperature mode (CTA) with a split film probe. For the time-average

The world of artificial systems is reaching hitherto undreamed-of levels of complexity. Surface traffic, electricity distribution, mobile communications, etc., demonstrate that problems are arising that are beyond classical scientific or engineering knowledge. In order that our ability to control such systems should not be hindered by lack of comprehension, there is an on-going effort to understan

Due to the increasing test data volume needed to test core-based System-on-Chip, several test scheduling techniques minimizing the test application time have been proposed. In contrast to approaches where a fixed test set for each core is assumed, we explore the possibility to use overlapping test patterns from the tests in the system. The overlapping tests serves as alternatives to the original d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning på svenska Stafylokocker ingår i vår normala bakterieflora på hud och slemhinnor, men kan också ge upphov till infektioner. Staphylococcus aureus, den gula stafylokocken, är den vanligaste orsaken till sårinfektioner och "sjukhussjuka", och orsakar allvarliga djupa infektioner i ben, hjärta och andra inre organ, samt blodförgiftning. S. epidermidis, den vCoagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), in particular, Staphylococcus epidermidis, have emerged as major nosocomial pathogens associated with infections of implanted medical devices. These organisms, which are among the most prevalent bacteria of the human skin and mucous membrane microflora, gain access to the surface of the implant at the insertion. However, the subsequent infection may erupt u

Som patient har man i Sverige förhållandevis stora möjligheter att påverka sin situation. Riktlinjen är att behandling skall ske i samråd med patienten och den yttersta garantin för att så sker är patientens rätt att neka behandling. Vanligtvis kan denna riktlinje följas utan problem. Men det finns undantag. Ett rör vård av personer som p.g.a. sjukdom eller skada har förlorat sin beslutsförmåga. A
