Density-driven current between reed belts and open water in a shallow lake

Differential heating of surface waters of lakes caused by shading from vegetation can induce convection, which could be significant for the ecosystem because the chemistry and biology can differ in the reed belt zone compared to the open lake. This process has been given little attention in the literature. In the present study surface currents just outside a reed belt as well as radiation and wate

Upplevelsens poetik : slöjdseminariet på Nääs 1880–1940

This dissertation examines aspects of the experience of being a student at Nääs’ sloydseminar between 1880 and 1940 and what consequences it had for the participants.

On the measurement of relative and absolute income-related health inequality

In recent work on international comparisons of income-related inequalities in health, the concentration index has been used as a measure of health inequality. A drawback of this measure is that it is sensitive to whether it is estimated with respect to health or morbidity. An alternative would be to use the generalized concentration index that is based on absolute rather than relative health diffe

Contact sensitization to calocephalin, a sesquiterpene lactone of the guaianolide type from cushion bush (Leucophyta brownii, Compositae)

BackgroundCushion bush [Leucophyta brownii Cass.=Calocephalus brownii (Cass.) F. Muell.] is an Australian Compositae shrub that has been introduced into Scandinavia as a pot plant. The first case of sensitization occurred in a gardener, and the main allergen was identified as the guaianolide calocephalin. ObjectiveTo present the identification of the main allergen, and to assess the prevalence of

Shaping nursing home mealtimes

A number of studies stress the importance of positive mealtime experiences for nursing home residents. However, the components that comprise an ideal nursing home meal remain unclear, reflecting the ambiguity of whether nursing homes should be framed as institutions, domestic settings or a type of hotel. In this study, nursing home meals were viewed as situations that the involved parties could co

Diagnosis and treatment of heart failure in primary health care among elderly patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, with special reference to use of echocardiography

Objective-The aim of the present study was to describe how the diagnosis of heart failure (HF) was assessed, aetiology and management in elderly patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in primary health care, with special reference to use of echocardiography. Design-Descriptive retrospective investigation. Setting-Ronneby and Karlskrona communities, both situated on the Swedi

Parents' worried state of mind when fetal ultrasound shows an unexpected finding: a comparative study.

OBJECTIVE: Most parents yearn for a second-trimester ultrasound examination and feel excitement about it, but some also worry about what the examination will show. According to prior research, using only generic instruments or specific questionnaires, anxiety decreases when the ultrasound findings are normal. The aim of this study was to compare parents' worry (Parents' Expectations, Experiences,

The base of the global Dapingian Stage (Ordovician) in Baltoscandia: conodonts, graptolites and unconformities

In the recently completed and formally ratified new series and stage classification of the Ordovician System, the base of the Middle Ordovician Series coincides with the base of the global Dapingian Stage. In the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) of this stage, which is located at Huanghuachang in southern China, the base of the Dapingian Stage is defined its the level of first appearance
