The effectiveness of an anti-stigma intervention in a basic police officer training programme: a controlled study.

Stigma and discrimination are still prominent features of the life situation of persons with mental illness, adding to the burden of the illness, causing a lowered self-esteem, quality of life and affecting possibilities of adequate housing and work. It is also a major barrier to help seeking. The deinstitutionalization of mental health services has led to a significant increase in contacts betwee

Robotic Gift Wrapping or a Glance at the Present State in Santa's Workshop

This work presents a robotic implementation of Christmas gift wrapping. Handling paper is a challenging task for an industrial robot as it easily tears and folds in unexpected ways. In this application, a dual-arm industrial robot with simple two-finger grippers was used, and the robot was programmed using a standard position-based approach. The wrapping was accomplished with the help of plastic s

Phoxilium® reduces hypophosphataemia and magnesium supplementation during continuous renal replacement therapy

Background Although associated with severe clinical complications, phosphate remains a neglected ion. Additionally, phosphate balance during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is complex and multifunctional. The present retrospective study investigated the effects of phosphate-containing CRRT fluid on phosphate homeostasis. Methods We retrospectively analysed 112 patients treated with CRR

Talking in organizations : Managing identity and image in an adverstising agency

This paper treats discourses in organizations in relationship to the management of identities and impressions. It is based on an ethnographic study of an advert ising agency and explores how advertising professionals describe themselves, their work and organizations, the profession and their clients. Various functions of such descriptions are proposed, from identity work to marketing. The relation

To the rhythm of shopping - on synchronisation in urban landscapes of consumption

This article deals with the impact of retail rhythms on urban life and the urban landscape, with a special focus on tendencies toward synchronisation. The article is divided into three sections. First, the history of synchronisations in public space is traced, and it is argued that the retail business has become an increasingly important actor in the production of urban temporal landscapes. Second

Från Jernverk till Hjärnverk : Ungdomstidens omvandling i Ronneby under tre generationer

Popular AbstractAvsikten med denna avhandling är att utveckla en teori om de försvårade villkor som män ur arbetarklassen och den lägre medelklassen upplevt i Ronneby sedan början av 1900-talet; om hur traditionen att snabbt komma ut i arbetslivet — som bland män i Ronneby i det närmaste har varit likvärdigt med att bli vuxen — ersatts av ett behov att senarelägga vuxenblivandet. Bakgrunden är att

Frost Resistance of Building Materials : Proceedings of the 2nd Nordic Research Seminar in Lund 1996

Frost destruction of porous building materials is a big problem in the Scandinavian countries, and in many other countries inside and outside Europe, such as U.K., Germany, countries in eastem Europe, U.S.A., Canada, etc. Much research has been devoted to solving the frost destruction problem, especially conceming the destruction of concrete, but also conceming the destruction of clay brick, roofi

Performance Limits in Adaptive Control

Minimum variance control of difference equations systems with time-varying stochastic parameters are studied. The optimal control law is derived under the assumption that all previous, but not the current parameter values are known. This is used to give performance limits for dual control. In particular, it is shown that too much parameter uncertainty may cause the system to be unstable in the sen
