The article analyses the compulsory care of drug misusers in Sweden. An historical analysis of this field of work as a part of the Swedish welfare state highlights historically changing legislations, institutions, understandings and practices. Following Foucault, it is argued that it is impossible to distinguish between power and care and that confusion about coercive care is a result of not ackno
In this paper, we propose a simple and intuitive way to predict self-assembled island sizes for varying deposition conditions, i.e., temperature and deposition rate. The average island size and the modality of the size distribution (unimodal with large or small islands, or bimodal) is calculated via materials balancing over a total island density (known by experiments or from nucleation calculatio
Mechanisms responsible for the decrease in shortening velocity after prolonged contraction ("latch" state) were investigated at identical force during early (20 s, "phasic") and sustained (5 min, "tonic") phases of high-K+ (25-30 mM) contractions in smooth muscle of guinea pig taenia coli. Cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, myosin light-chain phosphorylation, and maximum shortening velocity all decli
The major part of this work deals with a new method for quantification of VOCs in concrete. There is a need for this type of quantification due to the development in cement and concrete production using plasticizing agents and fillers for improved rheological properties, and alternative fuels and waste materials to reduce the environmental impact of cement production. Measurements are needed to sh
The phosphido-bridged cluster [Os6(µ-H)(CO)22(µ-PH2)] and the corresponding phosphinidene-bridged cluster [Os6(µ-H)2(CO)21(µ-PH)] have been prepared from the reaction of [Os3(CO)11(PH3)] with [Os3(CO)11(NCMe)] in toluene. In a similar reaction, [Os6(µ-H)(CO)21(NCMe)(µ-PH2)] has been prepared from the reaction of [Os3(CO)11(PH3)] with [Os3(CO)10(NCMe)2]. The two Os6 clusters have been fully charact

A mean-field lattice theory is applied to predict the self-assembly into ordered structures of an ABC triblock copolymer in selective solvent. More specifically, the composition-temperature phase diagram has been constructed for the system (C)(14)(PO)(12)(EO)(17)/water, where C stands for methylene, PO for propylene oxide and EO for ethylene oxide. The model predicts thermotropic phase transitions
The photodissociation dynamics of iodoform (CHI3) in acetonitrile and cyclohexane were investigated by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy and nanosecond laser flash photolysis. We have measured transient absorption spectra in the spectral region of 370-730 nm and kinetics at selected wavelengths on a femtosecond-microsecond time scale. We assign the observed photoproduct with absorption maxima at
Purpose: To examine the influence of different doses of gadolinium contrast agent on synovial enhancement, to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of synovial hypertrophy and radiographic joint changes in hemophiliacs, and to investigate the value of gadolinium in MRI assessment of synovial hypertrophy in hemophiliacs using dynamic MRI and MRI scoring. Material and Methods: Twenty-one
The atomic and electronic structure of the lattice-mismatched h-BN/Pt(111) and h-BN/Rh(111) interfaces formed by pyrolitic reactions with vaporized borazine has been studied by low-energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray-absorption spectroscopy, and core-level and valence-band photoemission. It has been found that on Pt(111), h-BN forms a nearly flat monolayer, insignific
This paper presents a methodological approach for the study of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air, emitted during storage of municipal solid waste in bales. Determination of VOCs was based on sampling with adsorbent tubes followed by automated analysis using on-line work-up with a thermal desorption unit directly connected to a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. Using calculation algorithm
