    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine human and vertebrates ; protein C; mortality; intensive care; health economics; global haemostatic tests; blood coagulation disorders; APC-PCI complex; abdominal aortic aneurysm operation; antithrombin; Medicin människa och djur ;

    Abstract : Critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICU) often have coagulation disturbances.

  4. 17. Daylight Influence on Colour Design : Empirical Study on Perceived Colour and Colour Experience Indoors

    Author : Maud Hårleman; Jadwiga Krupinska; José Luis Caivano; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; architecture; interior colouring; spatial character; natural daylight; verbal description; colour reference box; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Abstract : It is known that one and the same interior colouring will appear different in rooms with windows facing north or facing south, but it is not known how natural daylight from these two compass points affects perceived colour and the ways in which colour is experienced. The objective is to describe the perceived colours to be expected in rooms with sunlight and diffused light, and thus develop a tool for colour design. READ MORE

  7. 20. Culture Confrontation in the Lower Congo : From the Old Congo Kingdom to the Congo Independent State with Special Reference to the Swedish Missionaries in the 1880's and 1890's

    Author : Sigbert Axelson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; culture confrontation; culture conflict; Congo; Portuguese; missionary roles; Congo Kingdom; Congo Independent State; Missionary studies; Missionsvetenskap; Missionsvetenskap; Studies of Missions;

    Abstract : The culture confrontation remains the central theme throughout this book, with special emphasis given to points of conflict.

By focusing my analysis on the dynamics of this confrontation, the point of contact between Congolese and Europeans, I have marked that the purpose of this study is not to present a characterization of Congolese or African culture as separate entities.
