This study investigated how the outdoor environments at nursing homes for older persons were experienced and used to gain knowledge with implications for design. Focus group methodology was used to explore staff's view of how the residents experienced and used the outdoors. Two main themes and ten sub-themes were the result when the focus group interviews were analyzed. Theme one, being comfortabl
Neural cultures are very useful in neuroscience, providing simpler and better controlled systems than the in vivo situation. Neural tissue contains two main cell types, neurons and glia, and interactions between these are essential for appropriate neuronal development. In neural cultures, glial cells tend to overgrow neurons, limiting the access to neuronal interrogation. There is therefore a pres
Abstract The glutamate (Glu) terminals in rat neostriatum were removed by a unilateral frontal decortication. One to two weeks later the effects of insulin‐induced hypoglycemia on the steady‐state levels of amino acids [Glu, glutamine (Gin), aspartate (Asp), γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), tau‐rine] and energy metabolites (glucose, glycogen, α‐ketoglu‐tarate, pyruvate, lactate, ATP, ADP, AMP, phosphoc
Samhällsvetenskaplig forskning äger vanligen rum ytterst stillsamt, bland högar av papper och böcker, vid datorskärmar och på seminarier. Men ibland händer det något. En dag kan man få tag i en text som hjälper en att skärpa blicken, få ordning på intrycken och energi nog att börja argumentera. Materialet faller på plats och forskningen går faktiskt framåt. Det handlar om teoretiska händelser –
Det är inte bara fukt, dålig ventilation eller andra tekniska faktorer, som är boven i dramat när människor upplever att de blir sjuka av innemiljön. Livssituation och livsstil kan också påverka.
Four exposures of Chicxulub impact ejecta along the Mexico-Belize border have been sampled and analyzed for major and trace element abundances. The ejecta deposits consist of a lower spheroid bed, containing clay and dolomite spheroids, and an upper diamictite bed with boulders and clasts of limestone and dolomite. The matrix of both beds is composed of clay and micritic dolomite. The rare earth e
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a high-impact pathogen with approximately 12,000 diagnoses annually in Eurasia. The virus causes a variety of clinical manifestations, with neurological symptoms in up to 30% of the patients. Lethality in Europe is <2% but post-encephalitis syndrome is seen in over 40% of the infected patients and results in substantial impairment in quality of life. Over th
The current research focuses on creating a homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) fuel index suitable for comparing different fuels for HCCI operation. One way to characterize a fuel is to use the auto-ignition temperature (AIT). The AIT can be extracted from the pressure trace. Another potentially interesting parameter is the amount of low temperature heat release (LTHR) that is closely c
