Fokusgruppsintervjun är en i pedagogiska sammanhang vanligt använd metod, och erbjuder genom sin öppna form många intressanta möjligheter. I denna artikel betraktas dessa möjligheter i ett postkvalitativt perspektiv, med särskild inspiration i Gilles Deleuzes och Félix Guattaris filosofi. Fokusgruppsintervjun ses här som en metodologiskt konstruerad händelse, vilken skapar mellanrum där begär kan

The PFS-16 is a 16-item fatigue scale for Parkinson's disease (PD) developed in the UK. However, documented translations and psychometric evaluations are sparse. Aim - To translate the PFS-16 into Swedish and conduct initial testing of its psychometric properties. Methods - Following translation, the PFS-16 was administered twice (2 weeks apart) to 30 people with PD (18 men; mean age/PD duration,

The aim of the study was to gain a theoretical understanding of parents' experiences and handling of the situation, when their foetus was diagnosed as having choroid plexus cysts, at a routine second trimester ultrasound examination. Nine couples and one mother were interviewed using one open question. Analysis method was Grounded Theory. The main concern was anxiety and the core category became n

The debate concerning repatriation and reburial has recently earned increasing attention in Sweden. While most archaeologists today understand the importance of repatriation and the arguments underlying the claims, the process is not completely unproblematic, and certainly not in all cases. This article explores some tendencies within the international debate about repatriation and frames them wit

This correspondence gives a tabulation of long systematic, and long quick-look-in (QLI) nonsystematic, rateR = 1/2binary convolutional codes with an optimum distance profile (ODP). These codes appear attractive for use with sequential decoders.

Background/aim: More knowledge is needed about the role of perceived control in the associations between different perceptions of daily occupations and positive health outcomes. The aim was to explore the associations between different subjective perceptions of daily occupations, in terms of occupational balance, occupational meaning, occupational value and satisfaction with occupations, and life

Knowledge about diagnoses patterns in older people with intellectual disabilities is limited.

We study the optical potential effects on the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and x-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) spectra. For the valence electron optical potential we use a local density approximation because the charge density changes fairly slowly, whereas we use a non-local optical potential for the core electron part based on GW-approximation. In the Br K-edge EXAFS sp
