Investigating a computerised test of the Stroop effect extended by inclusion of a third, more difficult task
A validation study of a computerised test recently developed involving the Stroop effect, extended here by inclusion of a third, more difficult test series, is presented. Three groups of men belonging to the Swedish armed forces and adjudged to differ in their qualifications (20, 32, and 19 men of levels 1, 2, and 3, respectively) and a fourth group of 18 men convicted of serious crimes of violenc
Illuminating patients with children up to 18 years of age - A 1-day-inventory study in a psychiatric service
This study reports the possibility of accomplishing a survey in an ordinary psychiatric service organization to identify the children and the adolescents in families with a parent with mental illness and to highlight the number of patients in psychiatric treatment with little or virtually no contact with their minor children. The prevalence of patients being parents to minor children was 36% in th
Impact related changes in mineral properties: Ti-magnetite from basaltic rocks at Lonar crater, India
Samples from vesicular Lonar impactite have been investigated by Mossbauer spectroscopy and SEM in combination with elemental analysis. Observation reveal the new-formation of oxide minerals have occurred with nucleation in particular at the walls of the vesicles interpreted as having formed from condensation of the gas phase having caused the vesicles to form in the first place. Elemental analysi
Analysis of chemically reacting transport phenomena in an anode duct of intermediate temperature SOFCs
The internal reforming and electrochemical reactions appear in the porous anode layer, and may lead to inhomogeneous temperature and gas species distributions according to the reaction kinetics. In this study, a fully three-dimensional calculation method has been further developed to simulate and analyze chemically reacting transport processes in a thick anode duct. The composite duct investigated

Psychosocial work conditions, unemployment, and generalized trust in other people: A population-based study of psychosocial health determinants
The association between psychosocial work conditions, unemployment, and generalized trust was investigated. The health survey in Skane is a cross-sectional postal questionnaire study with a 59% participation rate. A total of 5,180 persons that belonged to the work force and the unemployed were included. Logistic regression models were used to investigate the associations between psychosocial facto
Electrical characterization of thin InAs films grown on patterned W/GaAs substrates
InAs has been grown on W-GaAs patterned substrates using metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. It is shown that the W pattern guides the nucleation of the InAs on the GaAs substrate and that the islands formed may be used to embed metal features in a hybrid InAs/GaAs structure. A lower resistance (factor of 2) was measured for the hybrid structures as compared to reference structures. The reduction i
Parental care and adaptive brood sex ratio manipulation in birds.
Under many circumstances, it might be adaptive for parents to bias the investment in offspring in relation to sex. Recently developed molecular techniques that allow sex determination of newly hatched offspring have caused a surge in studies of avian sex allocation. Whether females bias the primary brood sex ratio in relation to factors such as environmental and parental quality is debated. Progre
A new distinguisher for clock controlled stream ciphers
In this paper we present a distinguisher targeting towards irregularly clocked filter generators. The attack is applied on the irregularly. clocked stream cipher called LILI-II. LILI-II is the successor of the cipher LILI-128 and its design was published in [1]. There have been no known attacks better than exhaustive key search on LILI-II. Our attack is-the first of this kind that distinguishes th
Acrylamide in food: mechanism of formation and influencing factors during heating of foods
Background: In April 2002, the Swedish National Food Administration and a scientific group at the University of Stockholm jointly announced that they had shown acrylamide to be formed during the preparation of food and found it to occur in many foodstuffs. These new findings were clearly of concern to many types of industrial food processing as well as to home cooking. The Swedish Food Federation
Effects of morning cortisol replacement on glucose and lipid metabolism in GH-treated subjects.
The amyloid precursor protein(APP)of Alzheimer's disease and its paralog APLP2 modulate the Cu/Zn-NO-catalyzed degradation of glypican-1 heparan sulfate In vivo.
Processing of the recycling proteoglycan glypican-1 involves the release of its heparan sulfate chains by copper ion- and nitric oxide-catalyzed ascorbate-triggered autodegradation. The Alzheimer disease amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its paralogue, the amyloid precursor-like protein 2 (APLP2), contain copper ion-, zinc ion-, and heparan sulfate-binding domains. We have investigated the possi
Current methods for absorbed dose planning for radioiodine treatment of hyperthyroidism in Sweden
Radioiodine therapy is a common form for treatment of hyperthyroidism. This treatment has been performed for half a century, with the annual number of I-131-iodide therapies for hyperthyroidism in Sweden being around 3000 since the 1970s. Methods used to calculate the administered activity to the individual patient differ widely, and a survey was made to get information about the different protoco
Non-contact surface wave scanning of pavements using a rolling microphone array
We present experiments with a rolling multichannel microphone array where measurements can be taken continuously while moving. Leaky air-coupled surface waves are measured with ordinary non-directional audio microphones. Results show that microphones can be successfully used to produce a realistic phase velocity spectrum even while moving along the surface. The paper presents some theoretical back
An experimental study of the effects of moisture variations and gradients in the joint area in steel-timber dowel joints
This experimental study examines the influence of moisture variations on the load-bearing capacity of steeltimber dowel joints. The glulam specimens used to manufacture the joints were first exposed to controlled climate changes. After being stored in the climate chambers, holes were drilled and dowels were inserted. Then, the joints were loaded to failure. The main aim of this study was to inv
Anticipatory Models in Gaze Control: A Developmental Model
Infants gradually learn to predict the motion of moving targets and change from a strategy that mainly depends on saccades to one that depends on anticipatory control of smooth pursuit. A model is described that combines three types of mechanisms for gaze control that develops in a way similar to infants. Initially, gaze control is purely reactive, but as the anticipatory models become more accura
Intrathecal cyclosporin prolongs survival of late-stage ALS mice
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by upper and lower motor neuron death with ascending paralysis leading to death. In a transgenic mouse model of ALS (SOD1-G93A) weakness appears at 3 months of age, and because of progressive paralysis leads to death by 5 months. Cyclosporin A (CsA) is well known, for its extracerebral effect, as an immunosuppressant
Participation and societal values: the challenge for lawmakers and policy practitioners
Participation is about finding consensus in diversity and reflects a normative shift towards multiple-use values that recognise that forest management should blend multiple management objectives into a coherent set of practices. A framework to incorporate interest groups' values and needs into functional forest management systems has yet to be institutionalised in contemporary forest policy and ma
Sarcomas associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer: broad anatomical and morphological spectrum
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is primarily linked to colorectal and endometrial cancer, but is associated with a broad tumor spectrum. Though not formally part of the syndrome, occasional sarcomas have been reported in individuals with HNPCC. We used the national Danish HNPCC-register to identify HNPCC families in which sarcomas had been diagnosed. Fourteen sarcomas were identi
