The current paper addresses the implications of doing research on socially assistive robots in real homes. In contrast to laboratory studies, studies of robots in their intended natural environments can provide insights into people’s experiences of robots, and if and how a robot becomes embedded and used in people’s everyday life. However, moving robots out of the lab and into real life environmen
The gallides YbNi3Ga9 and YbCu3Ga8 were obtained from flux growth reactions of Yb, various transition metals M, and Ga, to test a stability diagram that predicts the formation of ternary intermetallic phases. The structure of YbNi3Ga9 was redetermined to resolve discrepancies in the literature. For an untwinned crystal of YbNi3Ga9, the ErNi3Al9-type structure was confirmed (space group R32, a =
During the period 1920--30, there was a certain interest in north-westem Argentina's archaeology and ethnography at Etnografiska Museet. This interest had its roots in the so called "Expedition Chaco-Cordillera" led by Erland Nordenskiöld in 1901-1902. In 1932, Alfred Metraux visited Etnografiska Museet and inspired, among others, Stig Ryden, one of Erland Nordenskiöld's students. In the same ye
Despite the fact that several cases of unsafe pesticide use among farmers in different parts of Africa have been documented, there is limited evidence regarding which specific interventions are effective in reducing pesticide exposure and associated risks to human health and ecology. The overall goal of the African Pesticide Intervention Project (APsent) study is to better understand ongo
This paper constitutes a report from an on-going research project aimed at comparing diffusion and governance of Barnahus in the Nordic countries. Barnahus can be considered as one of the main policy ventures related to children as crime victims in recent years, building on close inter-agency collaboration under one roof. The project´s focus is on how forms of diffusion and governance affect the t
Background-The objective was to evaluate the role of risk factors and stent type for stent thrombosis (ST) using a large real world registry. Methods and Results-We evaluated all consecutive coronary stent implantations in Sweden from May 1, 2005, to June 30, 2007. All cases of ST, documented in the Swedish coronary angiography and angioplasty registry until September 21, 2008, were analyzed. ST w
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has provided periodic assessments of the state of knowledge on climate change for 30 years. While these assessments have been central to the making of international climate policy, their relevance has been questioned in the post-Paris era. Can the IPCC's global kinds of knowledge match the demands of an increasingly decentralized and polycentric
Aims: Network for Pharmacoepidemiology (NEPI) Antidiabetes Study-Eye is a randomized placebo-controlled Swedish trial investigating if treatment with sulphonylurea, in addition to dietary regulation and increased exercise, delays the development of retinopathy in subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG). Methods: Subjects were surveyed in primary care with repeated fasting blood glucose measu
The Ilizarov technique was used in five knees for the correction of a flexion contracture that had not responded to nonoperative treatment. Preoperative contractures of 25–75° were reduced to 0–15°. Three months after frame removal the knees had almost the same range of extension as immediately after frame removal, and all except one patient with severe arthritis had the same range of flexion as b
Short leukocyte telomere length (LTL) may be associated with several psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder (MDD). Short LTL has previously been associated with poor response to psychiatric medications in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but no studies have prospectively assessed the relationship of LTL to SSRI response in MDD. We assessed pre-treatment LTL, depression sever
Background: Trajectories of asthma and allergy in children are heterogeneous and commonly derived from parental report of disease or clinical records. This study combined parental-reported and register-based dispensed medication data to characterize childhood trajectories of co-existing asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema. Methods: From a Swedish population-based birth cohort (N = 5654), survey
