Background and Purpose - Depression after stroke is often described as underdiagnosed and undertreated. However, there are few data on self-reported depression and use of antidepressants in stroke patients at large. Materials and Methods - In the Swedish national quality assessment register, Riks-Stroke, 15 747 stroke survivors are recorded. They were asked about depressive mood and antidepressant

In this paper, we present a cluster based analysis of an outdoor-to-indoor Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) measurement campaign, and extract model parameters for the COST273 channel model. The measurements were performed at 5.2 GHz for 159 measurement locations in an office building. Multipath component (MPC) parameters have been extracted for these positions using a high-resolution algorith

Over a decade ago, the concept of objectively evaluating the performance of control strategies by simulating them using a standard model implementation was introduced for activated sludge wastewater treatment plants. The resulting Benchmark Simulation Model No 1 (BSM1) has been the basis for a significant new development that is reported on here: Rather than only evaluating control strategies at t

AIMS: This study sets out to investigate direct care staff's views of their need for support, supervision, and training in their practice in day care settings when supporting daily occupations among developmentally disabled persons. BACKGROUND: The first line staff are considered as having a prominent role in the successful delivery of service. METHODS: Three municipalities, one urban and two rura

We find the extreme programming methodology highly suitable for introducing undergraduate students to software engineering. To be able to apply this methodology at a reasonable teaching cost for large student groups, we have developed two courses that work in tandem: a team programming course taken by more than 100 students, and a coaching course taken by around 25 students. In this paper we descr

How does the language of the kontakia by Romanos address their liturgical context? This article presents a new translation of the poet’s famous Christmas Hymn and investigates liturgical aspects of the drama by proposing a liturgical reading of it. Furthermore it suggests that in retelling the story of the adoration of the Magi the Melodist tells the story of the adoration of the congregation. The

The administration and management of organizations and companies is based upon the belief in the rationality of certain ideas Ð here referred to as management ideas Ð that is, the belief in these ideas1 ability to solve problems and provide opportunities for betterment. The talk of and writings on management ideas (lexis) constitute discursive formations that precede and shapes practices (praxis),

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the clinical phenotype, with emphasis on electrophysiology and blood flow measurements, of a family with dominant optic nerve atrophy and an identified mutation in the OPA1 gene. METHODS: Seven family members were examined. Ophthalmological evaluation included testing of visual acuity, ophthalmolscopy, kinetic perimetry, color vision testing, full-field electroretinograp

Proton and deuteron production has been observed in S+S and S+Pb collisions at 200 A-GeV and in Pb+Pb reactions at 158 A-GeV at the CERN SPS accelerator. For Pb+Pb triton production was also measured. The p and d spectra as well as the p and t spectra were observed in similar rapidity ranges and over similar ranges of transverse momenta per nucleon, making it possible to interpret the cross sectio

In the rat, prolonged activation of beta 1-adrenoceptors causes a gain in salivary gland weight, whereas prolonged blockade of these receptors causes a reduction in weight.

The effect of different molecular weight polystyrenes (PS) on the phase behavior of sodium 1,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)/water/cyclohexane oil-continuous microemulsions was investigated. The surfactant-covered water droplets were treated as a pseudocomponent in the mixture, and ternary polymer/droplet/oil phase diagrams were established as a function of microemulsion droplet radius (2

Cystatin C (CstC) is a potent cysteine-proteinase inhibitor. The structure of the mouse CstC-encoding gene (Cst3) was examined by sequencing a 6.1-kb genomic DNA containing the entire gene, as well as 0.9 kb of 5′ flanking and 1.7 kb of its 3′ flanking region. The sequence revealed that the overall organization of the gene is very similar to those of the genes encoding human CstC and other type-2

Vaccination against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) has recently been approved as a means to prevent cervical cancer. The Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control and the Swedish Society for Obstetrics & Gynecology arranged a consensus conference to discuss design of future cervical cancer prevention programs. Conclusions include that preventive programs should aim at eradication of onc

New magnetic DC septa are designed for the upgraded Max I and the new Max III storage rings, respectively. The new septum is made magnetically symmetric with a magnetic flux filter in the septum nose, The residual stray fields in the ring tube become almost linear and the usually strong stray fields close to the septum sheet are eliminated. If necessary a final correction of the linear part could

The soliton solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation provides a good approximation to the shape of a solitary wave solution to the governing equations for water waves. However, the corresponding velocity field below the soliton is not an accurate approximation. We propose an approach that provides us with a better approximation. By describing the particle paths below the free surface, we show th
