The characteristics of Boron Carbide (B4C) coated polyvinyltoluene scintillators with a sputtered B4C coating ranging between 200 and 1000 nm have been studied using a photomultiplier - Lanthanum Bromide detector setup with a PuBe neutron source. The raw data from the detectors was analysed by imposing a detector coincidence condition. The coated scintillators have been compared with a commercial
Studier visar att det råder en maktobalans inom vårdrelationen i den psykiatriska slutenvården. Eftersom vårdrelationen är sjuksköterskans främsta verktyg för att främja patientens återhämtning, är det av vikt att undersöka hur maktförhållandet mellan patient och sjuksköterska kommer till uttryck inom den psykiatriska slutenvården och hur det påverkar vårdrelationen.

On the other hand,
