Siblings’ Lived Experiences of Having a Brother or Sister With Home Mechanical Ventilation : A Phenomenological Hermeneutical Study

Over the past few decades, there has been an increase in the number of children receiving home mechanical ventilation (HMV), and in many ways, families have taken responsibility for the required advanced homecare, which has placed considerable time demands on the family unit. Little is known about the life situation of the siblings of HMV-assisted children; their own voices and an insider perspect

A theoretical framework for emancipatory nursing with a focus on environment and persons' own and shared lifeworld

By giving a brief overview of the metaconcepts in nursing, with a focus on environment, we sketch a theoretical framework for an emancipatory perspective in nursing care practice. To meet the requirements of equality in care and treatment, we have in our theoretical framework added a critical lifeworld perspective to the antioppressive practice, to meet requirements of equity in health care encoun

Concerning UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) : gender helpdesk assignment about the Occupied Palestinian Territories and UN Security Council Resolution 1325

This study concerns UN Security Council’s Resolution 1325 and its relevance in the OPT. By reviewing statistics and reports as well as acknowledging socio-cultural understandings of gender relations, it shows how men and women become affected by violence in different ways. In general, women are affected more indirectly than men by violence committed by the Israeli Defence Forces. However, the viol

Performance recovery of long CsI(Tl) scintillator crystals with APD-based readout

CALIFA is the high efficiency and energy resolution calorimeter for the R3B experiment at FAIR, intended for detecting high energy light charged particles and gamma rays in scattering experiments, and is being commissioned during the Phase-0 experiments at FAIR, between 2018 and 2020. It surrounds the reaction target in a segmented configuration with 2432 detection units made of long CsI(Tl) finge

Microgels and hydrogels as delivery systems for antimicrobial peptides

Due to rapid development of bacterial resistance against antibiotics, an emerging health crisis is underway, where ‘simple’ infections may no longer be treatable. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) constitute a class of substances attracting interest in this context. So far, research on AMPs has primarily focused on the identification of potent and selective peptides, as well as on the action mode of s

Masculinities and femininities in sustainable transport policy : a focus on Swedish municipalities

Gender identities are relevant for sustainable transport. By analyzing the synergies between gender inequality (as a problem), and lack of sustainability (another problem), there is a potential to create an understanding of how these problems are linked. Our aim is to better understand how gendered norms find expression in transport policy and planning. Taking a starting point in gender studies we

High strain rate tensile testing using microscopic high speed photography

A method is presented that combines advanced experimental and numerical techniques in the determination of constitutive parameters. The general principle is that a specimen, producing a non-homogeneous stress state, is deformed rapidly. Load and deformation is recorded during the deformation and the event is also simulated using FEM. For the numerical calculation a set of constitutive parameters i

Anti-phospholipid antibodies and renal involvement are the main features associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. A long-term longitudinal study in Southern Sweden

Background Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) affects mostly women in childbearing age. Modern management of SLE patients has improved the pregnancy outcomes over the last decades. However, there is still an increased risk of maternal, fetal and neonatal complications. In this longitudinal follow-up of pregnant women affected by SLE, we aimed to investigate which clinical and immunological feature

Theory of Tunneling Spectroscopy in a Mn12 Single-Electron Transistor by Density-Functional Theory Methods

We consider tunneling transport through a Mn12 molecular magnet using spin density functional theory. A tractable methodology for constructing many-body wave functions from Kohn-Sham orbitals allows for the determination of spin-dependent matrix elements for use in transport calculations. The tunneling conductance at finite bias is characterized by peaks representing transitions between spin multi
