Background: Family is a crucial social institution in end-of-life care. Family caregivers are encouraged to take on more responsibility at different times during the illness, providing personal and medical care. Unpaid work can be overburdening, with women often spending more time in care work than men. Objectives: This study explored multiple views on the family’s role in end-of-life care from a

Microorganisms have unique biochemical mechanisms to inhibit the growth or kill other microorganisms in the same environment. Bacterial threat agents (BTA) are more effective than conventional weapons because of these characteristics, therefore, the development and production of biological weapons are still relevant. Early warning signals need to be obtained for fast and accurate detection of BTA

The purpose of this study is to investigate the prediction of Ki-67 expression of breast cancers using MRI parameters from ultrafast (UF) DCE-MRI, DWI, T2WI, and the lesion size. Breast MRI was performed with a 3T scanner using dedicated breast coils. UF DCE-MRI was obtained using Compressed Sensing-VIBE (prototype sequence). As a kinetic parameter of UF DCE-MRI, maximum slope (MS) was defined as

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive of the European Commission places the responsibility on producers to finance collection and treatment of waste deposited at collection facilities after 13 August 2005, on a collective or individual basis. The research identifies practical steps that are needed for producers to address WEEE from private households on an individual, rath

The influence of a patient's body shape and position on the radiation pattern from an implanted radio transmitter has been simulated. Simulations and comparisons have been made with different body shapes (male, female and child) and different arm positions. It can be concluded from the results that the difference between different body shapes are at least as large as the influence of a patients ar

The paper describes the spectrometric system "SPES4-pi" used at the National Laboratory Saturne (CE Saclay, France) for the exclusive study of the baryon resonance excitation in inelastic alpha and d scattering on the proton, as well as coherent pion production in charge exchange reactions. The system consists of the magnetic spectrometer SPES4 and two wide-aperture position-sensitive detector arr

This master's thesis seeks to address the problems associated with the utilisation of sustainable Information Communication Technologies (ICT) by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), due to various barriers such as cost, limited resources, and lack of awareness. The research question seeks to examine the internal factors and characteristics of SMEs that influence their utilisation of ICT

Five sets of gloves were tested on 3 hand models with 2 measuring system in order to ensure repeatability of results from the past and for the future. The other aims of the study were to compare the possible differences related to different number of measuring zones, and effect of temperature distribution over hand surface. The hand models had 2 (HF), 9 (H2) and 10 (H3) zones respectively. Models

In electric passenger vehicles with modest performance the drivetrain usually consists of one inverter, one electrical machine and a single-speed transmission. The inverter is typically a two-level inverter using either Si IGBT transistors with an anti-parallel Si diode, or a SiC MOSFET transistor with or without an anti-parallel diode. The benefits of selecting SiC MOSFET as semiconductor technol

A color conversion digital filter is implemented which represents a block of a medical imaging system able to assist gynecologists during colposcopic image analysis is presented. The conceived tool is a monitoring system in the field smart health; in fact an early diagnosis could improve the quality of life and the life expectancy of patients. Tree different digital green filters are conceived and

A 10 GHz beam forming transmitter was designed in a 90 nm CMOS process. Two power amplifiers with independently controllable phase enable the beam forming. The controllable phase is accomplished by switching in binary weighted transistors fed by quadrature signals, which are generated by a quadrature voltage controlled oscillator followed by a buffer. The design contains seven differential on-chip

Popular Abstract in Swedish Slå vatten i småbitar Många av de små molekyler som omger oss kan verka helt alldagliga. Vatten, koldioxid, syre, metan; de bara finns där, i våra kroppar, i våra lungor, överallt. Men så börjar någon tala om klimatförändringar, och att förstå de banala molekylerna blir avgörande för hela vår existens. Koldioxid, metan och vatten är växthusgaser, och det finns idag merThis dissertation contains seven studies exploring novel instrumentation for ion and electron spectroscopy, including their applicability at storage ring light sources. The studies focus on instrumentation to study decay, dynamics and dissociation of photoexcited molecules, and the possibility to host such instruments at MAX~IV. Commissioning of an instrument for negative-ion/positive-ion coincid

The paper presents a feedback scheduling strategy for multiple control tasks that uses feedback from the plant states to distribute the computing resources optimally among the tasks. Linear-quadratic controllers are analyzed, and expressions relating the expected cost to the sampling period and the plant state are derived and used for on-line sample-rate adjustments. In the case of minimum-varianc

This paper introduces the design of a new multiphase clock generator with no feedback loop. A single-stage direct interpolation architecture is proposed. A 1/4 frequency divider and a short-circuit current suppression interpolator are developed to achieve the precise interpolation. The circuit has been fabricated in a standard 0.35 μm, 3.3 V CMOS process. The multiphase clock generator can operate

Detection and classification of distresses is a fundamental activity in the road pavement management. Even in the early stages of deterioration, road pavement needs to be monitored to identify problems, evaluating the actual conditions and predicting what the future conditions will be. Monitoring activities through manual/visual inspections are time consuming, costly and cause of safety concerns.
