Finns det något utpräglande för debutverk eller är debutverk snarare en utgångspunkt för fortsatt skrivande? Föreliggande magisteruppsats beskriver Edith Södergrans, Karin Boyes, Elsa Graves, Sonja Åkessons och Katarina Frostensons debutverk. Dessa poeter analyseras i förhållande till senare verk. Metoden är textcentrerad och komparativ. Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom en jämförelse mellan debut

Aim. This paper reports the findings of a study that aimed to elucidate the meaning of fatigue for women with multiple sclerosis (MS). Background. Living with chronic illness can involve giving up usual activities. MS is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Fatigue is a common experience among people with MS; however, little is known about the meaning of fatigue experienced

Samples were prepared for ultrastructural studies of the intact interface between metallic implants and tissue by transmission electron microscopy. The method is based on plastic embedding of implant and tissue and subsequent removal of the bulk metal by electrochemical dissolution (electropolishing), to facilitate preparation of ultrathin sections for transmission electron microscopy. Surface sen

C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is a regulator of the classical complement pathway C3 convertase (C4bC2a complex). It is a disulfide-linked polymer of seven alpha-chains and a unique beta-chain; the alpha- and beta-chains are composed of eight and three complement control protein (CCP) domains, respectively. To elucidate the importance of the polymeric nature of C4BP and the structural requirements for

Electric road systems (ERS) allows electric vehicles to charge while in motion, in turn possibly reducing the cost of the vehicle since the battery capacity can be reduced. Most conductive ERS seen today are DC and while static charging is possible from an ERS it is also often beneficial if the vehicle is able to charge from the AC grid as well. In this paper an electric powertrain with the chargi

Tissue-based diagnostics and research is incessantly evolving with the development of new molecular tools. It has long been realized that immunohistochemistry can add an important new level of information on top of morphology and that protein expression patterns in a cancer may yield crucial diagnostic and prognostic information. We have generated an immunohistochemistry-based map of protein expre

We consider a Fermi pencil-beam model in two-space dimensions (x,y), where x is aligned with the beam’s penetration direction and y together with the scaled angular variable z correspond to a, bounded symmetric, transversal cross-section. The model corresponds to a forward–backward degenerate, convection dominated, convection–diffusion problem. For this problem we study some fully discrete numeric

The relationships and the zoogeography of the three extant pinniped families, Otariidae (sea lions and fur seals), Odobenidae (one extant species, the walrus), and Phocidae (true seals), have been contentious. Here, we address these topics in a molecular study that includes all extant species of true seals and sea lions, four fur seals and the walrus. Contrary to prevailing morphological views the

This paper presents recursive formulas which admit simultaneous tests of stability and evaluation of quadratic loss functions for linear discrete-time dynamical systems. The method admits a significant reduction of the number of computations in comparison with previously known methods.

This study identifies teachers’ perceptions of requirements for including collaborations with the surrounding world in their teaching practice, with the aim of providing authentic and entrepreneurial learning environments for students. School management, time and teachers’ personal character traits and disposition were the most frequently stated areas of concern, followed by colleagues, surroundin

This thesis analyses the question of the right to compensation for victims of racial discrimination. The purpose is first of all to determine whether or not victims of racial discrimination have a right to compensation under international human rights law and to establish the content and limits of such a right. In order to achieve this purpose four specific questions are examined, namely: 1. Is th

Companies share their intellectual property with potential competitors in many different ways, including patent pooling. A patent pool is an agreement between two or more patent owners to license one or more of their patents to one another or to third parties. In Europe the Commission used the term patent pool as the bringing together of the patents of two companies, which makes it available for u

BACKGROUND: eHealth applications are considered a technological fix that can potentially address some of the grand challenges in healthcare, including burnout among healthcare professionals, the growing burden of patients with chronic conditions, and retaining and recruiting healthcare professionals. However, as the deployment of eHealth applications in healthcare is relatively novel, there is a l

The beamlines at CERN's North and East Areas offer secondary beams in a wide range of momenta between 0.5 GeV/c and 400 GeV/c for fixed-target experiments as well as for test beam campaigns with a flexible configuration and variable beam composition and intensities. Recently, two new facilities for neutrino detectors tests have been established in an extension of the CERN North Area in context of

Asylum-seekers, like any population, need healthcare services, yet national laws sometimes restrict access to such services. The European Social Charter (revised) protects the right to health and medical services. However, the Charter has a complex application, and its scope is limited concerning foreigners. This article analyses to what extent the provisions of the Charter on the right to health

The clinical commissioning of beams for neutron capture therapy involves the measurement and analysis of a large amount of data in various geometries and using various detectors. The process as such is akin to that in the conventional photon and electron radiotherapy field, while the tools, methods and considerations in the field of neutron capture therapy are different. This chapter provides an i
