Aim: The aim of the study was to translate and validate the PADQLQ (Pediatric allergic disease quality of life questionnaire), a disease specific quality of life questionnaire for the assessment of quality of life in children with pollen allergy. Methods: The PADQLQ was translated into Swedish according to guidelines. Children 7-18 years with grass pollen allergy were included. Quality of life was

For efficient biodiversity preservation planning in forestry we need estimates of the actual and potential conservation value of individual stands. Our approach is based on a relatively good knowledge of the habitat requirements of regionally red-listed and threatened species. The estimation requires also knowledge of habitat availability in the surrounding landscape and the distance and species c

Reception study of The Silence of the Lambs(Jonathan Demme, 1991).

This article presents an overview of the literature on speech tempo and the topics dealt with. Tempo is not one of the more frequently explored areas of speech research, and any possible consequences of tempo variation for other phonetic phenomena have all too often been taken for granted. Unfortunately, this field is complicated by pitfalls of definition and hazards of numerical treatment. A gla

Objective. To examine psychiatric patients' experience of mechanical restraints and to describe the care the patients received. Background. All around the world, threats and violence perpetrated by patients in psychiatric emergency inpatient units are quite common and are a prevalent factor concerning the application of mechanical restraints, although psychiatric patients' experiences of mechanica

The FIPEC project is a research project funded by DG XII of the European Commission and co-financed by several European cable manufacturers, compounders, cable users and governmental research bodies. The FIPEC project has developed different levels of testing ranging from a small-scale, cone calorimeter test procedure developed for cables and materials, a full-scale test procedure based on the IEC

For future usage of services and applications, it would be beneficial to be able to use only one terminal for their communication needs. The intention is also that the terminal should stay connected even if it has to change technology, system and/or operator. This means that a user will need to have a terminal, which can use different types of wireless systems. As well as that the systems have the

Popular Abstract in English Structural components such as those used in gas turbines for energy conversion applications, are subjected to high loads at elevated temperatures. In order to ensure that the components survive under these conditions for a sufficiently long time, it is imperative to select materials with good high temperature properties like strength and corrosion resistance. Such materStructural components such as those used in gas turbines for energy conversion applications, are subjected to high loads at elevated temperatures. In order to ensure that the components survive under these conditions for a sufficiently long time, it is imperative to select materials with good high temperature properties like strength and corrosion resistance. Such materials are usually alloys with

Jordbrukslandskapet tillhandahåller ekosystemtjänster som utgör förutsättningen för en uthållig jordbruksproduktion och är till nytta för samhället i stort. Bakom dessa finns ekologiska processer som beror av samspel mellan en mångfald av organismer. Skånes jordbruk har genomgått betydande förändringar som förändrat landskapet och livsmiljön för många av dessa. För att bevara och förvalta ekosyste
