People with psychiatric disabilities need to be able to express their views about their support, for example, the provision of meaningful activity in supported accommodation. Brief scales may be necessary to avoid strain and discomfort for this group. The aim was to develop a brief version of Perceived Meaning in Activity—Housing (PMA-H) and investigate its factor structure, internal consistency,

Bostäder står för ca 23% av all energianvändning i Sverige. Om målet netto-nollkoldioxidutsläpp 2045 ska nås är det därför troligt att energibesparande åtgärderför bostäder kommer behövas. Många av de befintliga byggnaderna är runt 50 åreller äldre och är således i behov av modernisering. Samtidigt ökarurbaniseringstakten, därför finns det och kommer även framöver finnas behov avfler bostäder. EneIn Sweden, housing accounts for about 23% of all energy consumption. Sweden wants to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2045; as such, it is likely that energy-saving measures for housing will be needed. Many existing buildings have been in operation for 50 years or more and are therefore in need of modernisation. At the same time, the population is increasing and so is the rate of urbanisation, w

Purpose: Hospital construction projects often suffer from relatively late changes in the project lifecycle, which disrupt the project execution and impact project productivity. The purpose of this paper is to explore the root causes of changes in hospital construction projects. The paper aims to propose ways to prepare for the changes. Design/methodology/approach: The study focuses on changes duri

This article presents the results of a study where the effect of five window glazing types on daylight quality was investigated using a scale model (1:6) of a room with a single, south east-oriented window exposed to the natural sky. The space studied simulated a typical, fully furnished living room. A total of 30 research subjects took part in the experiment, observed the room and filled question

AIMS: To assess the efficacy of the 2nd generation Cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF), and to compare it to patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).METHODS: The outcome (arrhythmia recurrence at 12 months) was prospectively assessed in patients with PersAF(n = 77) and compared to that in patients with PAF(n = 62), who

Review of Katherine Verdery's autobiographical work in which she describes her fieldwork in Romania from 1973 to 1988 using the 2781 pages of her Romanian secret police file, in which he is code named "Vera". This is the story of how "Kathy" meets "Vera".

BACKGROUND: Permanent pacemaker implantation (PPM) early after cardiac transplantation has been shown not to predict a worse outcome. However, the requirement for pacing late after transplantation and its prognostic implications are not fully known. We describe the clinical indications, risk factors and long-term outcome in patients who required pacing early and late after transplantation.METHODS:

This article recapitulates the effect of my early fieldwork in socialist Romania, in which people's coping with bureaucracy through informal mechanisms of improvization, corruption, rumor creation, etc. come to mark by subsequent research interest, like a tatoo, and like the electronic ankle bracelet on the home prisoner, tend to pull me back into the same kind of theme, for better or for worse. C

The construction of radical right populist resistance around metaphors ofmasculinity at the beginning of the 21st century is a little researched area. Thisarticle accounts for the discursive redefinitions of Swedishness enabled byconceptual metaphors in order to accommodate centrally located heterosexistmasculinities at the intersection of gender, class, and ‘race’, as heralded by the main Swedish

To assess the atmospheric fate of fluorinated compounds, chamber experiments were performed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy investigating the products of difluoromethane, CH 2 F 2 , at 296 ± 2 K. The reactions were initiated by reaction of CH 2 F 2 with Cl atoms in the absence and presence of CH 4 or C 2 H 6 in air or O 2 . No evidence of formation of the fluorinated alcohol, CHF 2 O

The levels and conformers of alpha-synuclein are critical in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's Disease and related synucleinopathies. Homeostatic mechanisms in protein degradation and secretion have been identified as regulators of alpha-synuclein at different stages of its intracellular trafficking and transcellular propagation. Here we review pathways involved in the removal of various forms of al

Prostate cancer (PCa)is one of the first three causes of cancer mortality in Europe. Screening in asymptomatic men (aged 55–69 yr)using prostate-specific antigen (PSA)is associated with a migration toward lower staged disease and a reduction in cancer-specific mortality. By 20 yr after testing, around 100 men need to be screened to prevent one PCa death. While this ratio is smaller than for breast
