The clichéd conceptualization of cancer illness as a battle, which the patient can either win or lose, can be problematic. For patients referred to palliative care, it can cause feelings of guilt and failure. This framing of cancer, here referred to as ‘the battle script’, has been questioned in previous research, and there seems to be awareness among health practitioners that battle metaphors sho

Experimental data on single file pedestrian movement has been analysed and implemented in a prototype movement model. The prototype model is developed to predict movement of persons based on a first principle approach using basic population data such as age, height, gender and response time to adapt the walking speed in a crowd. The experimental data provide the biomechanical information needed inExperimental data on single file pedestrian movement has been analysed andimplemented in a prototype movement model.

Wind-abraded cobbles (ventifacts) and aeolian sand are known from the sandy-gravelly coastal areas of south-western Sweden, especially in association with raised deltas. Ventifacts are recorded on at least two different stratigraphic levels, at some sites atop glaciofluvial sediment, at other sites atop littoral deposits, and in some places at both levels, while aeolian sand usually forms a surficWind-abraded cobbles (ventifacts) and aeolian sand are known from the sandy-gravelly coastal areas of south-western Sweden, especially in association with raised deltas.

The search for drugs that modulate NMDA receptors has been very active in the latest decades since they play a pivotal role in neuronal death and in several neurological conditions, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases. Activating the receptor evokes an entry of calcium into the neuron, thus leading to a rapid depolarization that can be measured using electrophy

The following article investigates Keats’s expansion of the notion of Eros, arguing that it forms a dialectic relation between the self-sufficiency of the lover and a dream of mutual exchange between the subject and its object of desire. In order to discern the specific concerns of Keats in this regard, the study analyzes a letter sent to his friend John Hamilton Reynolds on the 19th of February 1The following article investigates Keats's expansion of the notion of Eros, arguing that it forms a dialectic relation between the self-sufficiency of the lover and a dream of mutual exchange between the subject and its object of desire.

Universities are currently facing mounting policy expectations to assume a broader societal responsibility in creating sustainable growth and wellbeing. In response to these demands, universities are developing new approaches to proactively take on their role with societal collaboration, including project-based education, student innovation programmes, open testbed and demonstration facilities andUniversities are currently facing mounting policy expectations to assume a broader societal responsi-bility in creating sustainable growth and wellbeing.

In modern cancer therapy, radiotherapy (RT) is a vital part of most treatments. Most RT treatments in Sweden are performed using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with fixed or dynamic arc delivery. The dose gradients outside the target are steep, the margins are small, and the treatment delivery is complicated. Complicated treatments increase the requirement for control of the uncertaintiesIn modern cancer therapy, radiotherapy (RT) is a vital part of most treatments.

In this article, we explore the importance of feedback on students’ literature essays and challenges in encouraging active and transformational engagement with such feedback. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, our model consists of a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks that students are required to complete. Based on a study of 245 This article explores ways of encouraging student engagement with feedback on literature essays. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, we have developed a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks on an introductory-level English literature course. With a focus on our two-step model for student self-reflection, this article highlights some c

The gap-mending concept has been developed within the network of PowerUs (www.powerus.eu). It entails a constant reflection upon what causes and mends gaps between social workers and service users in social work practice, education and research. Within the PowerUs network gap-mending practices have been developed where more reciprocal relationships are aimed for, in joint development projects.

Background: Severe diminished foot somatosensation, for example, caused by neuropathies and advanced aging, contributes to balance deficits and increased fall risk. However, little is known about somatosensory impairment and functional and subjective balance problems in relatively healthy elderly. Method: Vibration perception thresholds (VPTs) were assessed with a biothesiometer and tactile pressu

Ethics is increasingly recognized as one of several important dimensions of performance. Yet, performance audit, or value-for-money audit, as conducted by supreme audit institutions (SAIs), does not typically include this dimension. Instead, the focus is on the classical ‘three Es’ (efficiency, economy and effectiveness). The reluctance to address issues of ethical misconduct has taken the audit p

Information about genetic variation has been collected for some 20 years into registries, known as locus specific databases (LSDBs), which nowadays often contain information in addition to the actual genetic variation. Several issues have to be taken into account when considering establishing and maintaining LSDBs and these have been discussed previously in a number of articles describing guidelin

This paper presents a theoretically and methodologically grounded GIS-based model for the measurement and mapping of an index of living conditions in urban residential areas across Sweden. Further, the model is compared and evaluated using the Swedish Police’s assessment of crime-exposed areas. The results indicate that the geographically measured vulnerable living conditions overlap to a large ex
