The aim of the article is to analyse what function quotations have in narrative sequences, argumentative sequences and in conversation. Three aspects of quotations are considered: quotations as constructions, quotation as voices, and quotations as a means of positioning. Examples from Czech and Swedish data illustrate how conversationalists use quotations when they define their own identity and wh
OBJECTIVE:: To evaluate if treatment start and age are related to the outcome in Bell's palsy patients treated with prednisolone. STUDY DESIGN:: Prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial. SETTING:: Sixteen otorhinolaryngologic centers in Sweden and 1 in Finland. PATIENTS:: Data were collected from the Scandinavian Bell's palsy study. A total of 829 patients were
This paper investigates a Swedish house manufactures building system regarding the documentation and information structures. The aim is to evaluate how product modeling technology can be used to facilitate product customization. By dividing the product in four different views the complexity of the product can be reduced and each view represent the interest of customer, engineering, production and

Today more and more functionality is included in embedded systems, resulting in an increased system complexity. existing design methodologies and design tools are not adequate to deal with this increase in complexity. To overcome these limitations application specific design solutions are more common. In this thesis we presents such solutions for real-time image processing. This work is part of th
Dialysis patients often suffer from cardiovascular dis- eases, motivating the use of continuous monitoring of car- diac activity in clinical routine. Cardiac pressure pulses propagate through the vascular system and enter the ex- tracorporeal blood circuit of a dialysis machine, where the pulses are captured by pressure sensors. The cardiac pulses are obscured by the much stronger pressure pulses
The F344 rat carries alleles contributing to bone fragility while the GK rat spontaneously develops type-2 diabetes. These characteristics make F344xGK crosses well suited for the identification of genes related to bone size and allow for future investigation on the association with type-2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for bone size phenotypes measu
Postmodernism has been pointed out – from both left and right, from feminists and anti-feminists – as the dangerous ”other”. Therefore it is provoking to apply postmodern methods and insights to modern class theory. By way of reasoning with Karl Marx and Max Weber, and with older as well as contemporary feminist critics of the concept of class such as Gayle Rubin, Joan Acker, Beverley Skeggs, Nanc
The extensive use of rubber products, mainly tires, and the difficulties to recycle those products, has resulted in world wide environmental problems. Microbial devulcanisation is a promising way to increase the recycling of rubber materials. One obstacle is that several microorganisms tested for devulcanisation are sensitive to rubber additives. A way to overcome this might be to detoxify the rub
OBJECTIVE: To compare umbilical and uterine artery Doppler in predicting outcome of pregnancies suspected of fetal growth restriction (FGR). DESIGN: A prospective study included 353 singleton pregnancies complicated by an FGR fetus. SETTING: University Hospital setting. SAMPLE: Pregnancies suspected of FGR diagnosed by ultrasound fetal biometry during a 5-year period. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Perinat
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it became possible to believe in the existence of life on other planets on scientific grounds. Once the Earth was no longer the centre of the universe according to Copernicus, once Galileo had aimed his telescope at the Moon and found it a rough globe with mountains and seas, then the assumption of life on other planets became much less far-fetched, and,
OBJECTIVE:: Although recent studies have indicated that both orthostatic hypotension and orthostatic hypertension (OHTN) independently predict cardiovascular events, the underlying mechanisms are still debatable. METHODS:: A total of 700 nondiabetic adults (43% men, age 64 years) were examined by orthostatic blood pressure (BP) test, carotid artery ultrasonography, and biochemical tests including

Objective . To study concentration gradients of the low molecular mass proteins, ss(2)-microglobulin, cystatin C and ss-trace protein, between the uterine and ante-cubital veins, the umbilical artery and vein and in the amniotic fluid compartment. Material and methods. The study comprised 27 healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancies undergoing caesarean section at term. Samples were collected s
