Clinical reasoning is proposed to represent cognitive processes, skills and decision-making aspects of nursing practice and is important for quality care. It has been suggested that the reasoning processes should be practiced during education to develop decision-making competence among nurses. The aim of the study was to explore and describe clinical reasoning processes at different times during s

Aging buildings will sooner or later be in need of renovation, which opens opportunities to reduce energy use. Even if economically feasible energy measures or technologies exist, they are not always implemented, leading to an energy efficiency gap. This dissertation deals with how energy measures are handled and why they are enabled or disabled during the planning and design of renovations. Durin

For several decades etiological diagnosis of patients with idiopathic mental retardation (MR) and multiple congenital anomalies (MCA) has relied on chromosome analysis by karyotyping. Conventional karyotyping allows a genome-wide detection of chromosomal abnormalities but has a limited resolution. Recently, array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) technologies have been developed

The paper is based on a general conceptual supply chain flow risk model developed in an earlier paper, a literature review and case studies. The paper has the title "Developing a supply chain risk model" and is reported as a final paper at the NOFOMA 2005 conference. The literature review has been focusing articles and reports/books on supply chain management. Some of its findings have earlier bee

Our purpose in this paper is to discuss Swedish nature in a specific context, namely that of ecotourism. The wider framework is the concept of cultural economy in relation to nature. Nature is culturally constructed – given meaning – by the actual doings of e.g. ecotourism operators, and this meaning is transformed into cash flows through tourist practices. It is this cultural construction of natu

Of all the huge natural disasters that claimed the lives of thousands in Asia, the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 was the largest, estimated to have killed more than 230,000 people. The scope of damage brought about by this natural disaster urges focus on recovery and post-disaster reconstruction from several perspectives. Here we find an in-depth ethnography of Thailand and the role of culture and

Catharina Stenqvist, former professor in philosophy of religion at Lund University, alludes that there are similarities between death and contemplation. In this article I suggest three possible such similarities, what they may consist in, how they may be given grounds, and examples of how further research may be carried out. The three suggested points of similarity are 1) experiential similarities

Islet transplantation is a minimally invasive β-cell replacement strategy. Islet transplantation is a reimbursed treatment in Norway. Here, we summarize the cost and clinical outcome of 31 islet transplantations performed at Oslo University Hospital (OUS) from January 2010 to June 2015. Patients were retrospectively divided into three groups. Thirteen patients received either one or two islet tran

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases in humans, with a subset of susceptible individuals who experience recurrent episodes. The increase in antibiotic resistance in gram-negative uropathogens, due to antibiotic overuse, is a strong rationale for developing therapeutic alternatives and to improve diagnostics.

The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the arguments that a number of professionals in equine-assisted therapy had for having the horse as part of the treatment of people with mental and physical disabilities. The analysis was based on two theories: Antonovsky's theory of salutogenesis, including the concept of sense of coherence, and Bowlbys attachment theory. The study was based o

Enligt svensk rätt omfattas även poliser i tjänst av nödvärnsrätten (24 kap. 1 § brottsbalken), vilket gör att den kan åberopas i de fall där ett polis- ingripande slutat i skottlossning. Vid försvarlighetsbedömningen ska poliser och enskilda utövare av nödvärn granskas enligt samma principer, eftersom polisen rent straffrättsligt ska betraktas som privatperson. Det rättsliga utgångsläget är dock According to Swedish law, police officers and citizens alike have the right to self–defence (Swedish penal code, sec. 24 para. 1). This allows police officers to invoke the justification rule after shooting an attacker during an arrest. When judged, general principles of criminal law are applicable to police officers, and they are supposed to be judged as individuals. This dogmatic essay examines

Den tekniska utvecklingen har ändrat hur människor kommunicerar med och om varandra. Den har också fört med sig nya former av övergrepp, däribland så kallade bildbaserade sexuella övergrepp. Begreppet bildbaserade sexuella övergrepp innefattar alla former av framställande och/eller spridande av privata, sexuella bilder utan samtycke från den avbildade.

Image-based sexual abuse includes all forms of creation and / or distribution of private, sexual images without the consent of the person depicted.

Visste du att många läkemedel tillverkas av genmodifierade bakterier? Också ofta i genmodifierade celler från däggdjur, till exempel från kinesiska hamstrars äggstockar. Läkemedel producerade i celler är de snabbast växande på marknaden, och kan till exempel användas för att producera insulin eller ett COVID-19 vaccin. I denna studie har en ny metod utvecklats för att säkerställa att sådana läkemeHost cell protein (HCP) is quantified in the purification steps of biopharmaceutical production and is part of ensuring the purity of the final drug product. The gold standard method for HCP quantification is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), but a new approach is proposed here with fully customized bio-layer interferometry assays for yeast and chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The new

Sexualbrotten i svensk rätt kräver idag att gärningsmannen har använt någon typ av våld eller hot, eller har utnyttjat ett hjälplöst tillstånd. År 2003 kom emellertid Europadomstolens avgörande i Bulgariendomen, i vilken kan utläsas att varje sexuell handling som begås utan samtycke ska vara straffbar. Sedan dess har det i Sverige livligt debatterats om huruvida domen innebär att den svenska lagenThe sexual offences in Swedish law of today require that the perpetrator has used violence or threats, or that he has exploited a helpless state. However, in 2003 the European Court of Human Rights delivered a judgment in the case of M.C v. Bulgaria, which stated that any non-consensual sexual act must be punishable. There has been a legal discussion in Sweden ever since, regarding whether this ju

Sensory plasticity, whereby individuals compensate for sensory deprivation in one sense by an improvement in the performance of an alternative sense, is a well-documented phenomenon in nature. Despite this, the behavioural and ecological consequences of sensory plasticity have not been addressed. Here we show experimentally that some components (vision and chemoreception) of the sensory system of
